Opsis is moving to the Central Eastside! After nearly 20 years in the Lovejoy Studio on Portland’s west side, we are moving our studio to the Central Eastside Custom Blocks at 975 SE Main Street. As we say goodbye to the Opsis designed Lovejoy Studio, we are excited to look ahead to new beginnings in a space reimagined for collaboration, connection and innovation. We’ll see you at the Custom Blocks in July! #opsiscustomblocks

The Pavilion, located in Bend, Oregon, is a year-round destination for play set in a park-like environment. This 50,000 sf open-air Pavilion features an NHL-size ice rink that transforms in warmer months to host soccer, skateboarding, basketball and community events. Whether visitors are there to play sports or simply relax, the Pavilion offers a variety of inviting spaces, including a covered gathering shelter, sculptural seating, fire pits and terraced courtyard. Both inside and out, the recreation and event center creates an inviting community atmosphere and serves as a model for the expression of how elementally elegant a building’s fundamentals can be. . . .

We are excited to share I+S Design Magazine’s latest feature on the Redmond Senior & Community Center, which highlights our collaboration with Johnston Architects on this new facility that centers wellness and nature in its design. The center, designed to achieve LEED Gold, replaces the former Senior Center and offers amenities and public spaces, such as a dedicated lounge and library tailored to Redmond's seniors, while also providing community and recreational facilities for all ages. The building integrates wellness through thoughtful design elements, ranging from color schemes and lighting fixtures tailored to an aging population to exercise amenities like the gymnasium and raised walk/jog track. It also supports sustainability through energy-efficient systems and celebrates local arts and culture with integrated art both inside and outside the center.
