Established in 1991, William C. Tripp, Architect is a small, multi-faceted design firm, working in a lively studio environment in Portland Oregon's Pearl District. A collaborative, hands-on process extends from sketching to model-making to digital renderings and into working drawings. We are dedicated to making beautiful, carefully crafted houses, churches, urban spaces, theater sets and memorials that embody the meaning of human experience. Born on Cape Cod, William Tripp received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Oregon in 1978 and did graduate work at Princeton University.
Consisting of four apartments configured as attached townhomes, this project steps up a hill on an urban corner site in the Goose Hollow neighborhood. Each unit contains its own private entrance, a back patio, and a front porch that bolsters a strong connection between residents and passersby. The front porches are created atop stormwater planters, which serve the dual role of slowing the flow of water runoff and growing vegetation for solar shading of the south facing windows. Tall ceilings, generous windows, and skylights work together to provide abundant natural light, as well as passive cooling and passive solar heating throughout the seasons.
