Two studio expansions and new entry - Portland OR

"Laurie Simpson of Connect Architecture is one of the most creative and talented individuals I have ever met.  After 3 years of struggling with different designs to expand the studios of The Portland Ballet, we hired Laurie and she came up with an elegant and functional design that was perfect.  Her ability to envision public space even on a property with a difficult footprint is almost magical!  They say that challenges lead to creativity and with our project not only did we have a squirrely property, but a tiny "non-profit" budget as well.  Laurie's creative and pragmatic approach resulted in a facility that conveys the principals of The Portland Ballet - welcoming, artistic and professional."

Jim Lane – Executive Director, The Portland Ballet
