SLEEK + SALVAGED HEADQUARTERS Experiencing a growth spurt, HBF International needed an efficient office which incorporates a dynamic, acoustically fit space for the Sales Team. Introspecs worked with the clients from beginning stages of selecting the appropriate building, providing full interior design and project management services during the remodel project, and final staging and coordination of all fixtures and furnishings. Introspecs’ custom designs for the reception area, sales pod, and all office desks were brought to reality in collaboration with Solid Form Fabrication and Andrew Scott Construction; planters in collaboration with The City Outside.

JAPANESE CRAFTSMAN RANCH HOUSE Introspecs worked with the client from their initial napkin sketches through design schematic phase, providing consult and detailed space planning to finalize the site orientation, overall layout of the 5,000 sf. one-level ranch house and key placement of adjacent rooms. We also provided detailed design drawings for all custom cabinetry and casework throughout the house, as well as full specifications for all interior and exterior architectural elements, fixtures, finish materials and colors. Introspecs and the clients collaborated on interior furnishings, blending previously-owned antiques with newly procured furnishings and accessories. The project continues as we work together choosing the right pieces over time to slowly create the personality of their home.

CLEAN + MODERN KITCHEN Introspecs was brought into this project in collaboration with Modern Organic Construction, to rebuild a fire-damaged 1954 Ranch-style in SW Portland, with a major focus on the kitchen design and full material palette throughout the house. Capitalizing on this unique opportunity to reinvent the interiors, Allisen’s design and space planning called for demolishing all interior kitchen walls, opening it up to the dining room and sunken living room. This major change increases spatial and visual sight-lines between the core rooms and the outdoor garden, creating more family connection as a result. The natural birch and myrtlewood butcher block in the kitchen are stand-out materials, highlighted against a peaceful and pleasant monochromatic backdrop.

PDX MODERN INDUSTRIAL OFFICE After completing their Seattle Headquarters office in 2010, Introspecs was again hired in 2012-13 to create a dynamic, show-piece Portland office for our client, Cycle 30. Our project assignment was to create a welcoming, cozy office environment for a few tech guys, growing the PDX office. Working from a modern industrial palette and downtown Portland’s contextual elements, the space planning, furnishings, art and accessories walk the line between bottom-line functionality and enticingly edgy workspace.

INTIMATE CRAFTSMAN KITCHEN Collaborating with Andrew Young of Young and Son Woodworks on the “true-to-period” remodel of this quaint NE craftsman, Introspecs transformed a barely-used closet kitchen into an efficient, functional and social cooking hub. From conception to completion, Introspecs provided interior space planning, custom casework design and selection of materials, finishes, fixtures and colors. Countertops are a polished solid surface quartz and Calacatta marble subway tiles cover all exposed walls floor to ceiling, providing a statement of quiet sophistication.
