Efficient mechanical systems and a highly insulated and airtight shell are two of the features incorporated into the design of One North in Portland, Oregon. A multi-use, commercial development, the project is the product of a multi-year collaborative process that looked to contribute to Stumptown’s reputation as a green city.
To create the architectural aesthetic, the project team turned to advanced cold-formed steel (CFS) framing. It is estimated using this material reduced the construction timeline by more than 10 percent.
