PMA provided planning and building science services for TMT Development’s project at the Studio Building in downtown Portland. The Studio Building is a twentieth century Baroque-style building built in 1927 by Ellison-White Conservatory and designed by locally renowned architect Luther Lee Dougan. Over time, the Studio Building has undergone multiple changes including new openings (1940), the addition of a new marquee (1956), and the construction of a new front entrance (2002) to name a few.

PMA lead the project teams Type III Design Review application for the replacement of windows on the building. After assessing the existing 192 historic steel windows, we recommended replacement windows to match the historic windows in style and size, and to fit within the existing window openings on all elevations. Drawings created during the assessment were used as part of the Type III Design Review application, as part of the pre-hearing review packet, and as part of the power-point presentation during the hearing in front of the Design Commission.
