Hello, neighbor.
We’re a team of friends going back as far as the mid ’90s in Southeast Portland, which is still home.
In the summer of 2020, during an afternoon hangout in Erin’s minihouse back yard, we made it official and began our residential design practice together.
Built on our years of experience leading complex projects in manufacturing, engineering and business, we designed Consolidated Living with a simple purpose in mind:
Do work we love
with people we love
for the place we love most.
