introduction

My own relationship with the town of Hood River, OR began at birth. I was born at the Hood River Hospital in 1985 to Wes and Sabine Jensen. My father was at the time an employee of Luhr Jensen & Sons, a company owned by his father and started by his grandfather, my great-grandfather, Luhr Jensen Sr.

Luhr Jensen & Sons produced fishing tackle, primarily for the Northwest’s recre-ational salmon-fishing industry. The Northwest was at the time rich with family businesses in the fishing industry, which speckled the area from Washington to Southern Oregon, wherever the salmon and steelhead were plentiful. Luhr Jensen & Sons was, at the time I was born, a stalwart of the Hood River economy and on the way to becoming its largest employer. All of the company’s numerous prod-ucts were conceived and produced by the hardworking people of Hood River.

In the 1990’s, the family fishing companies in the Northwest began to be ac-quired by larger, often foreign, companies. In the early 2000’s, while I was in business school studying to earn my business degree in order to get involved with the family business, Luhr Jensen sold its interests to the Finnish fishing giant Rapala, which quickly moved the production of all goods to its facilities in China. The town of Hood River, as well as myself, was dealt a great blow.

Today, I sometimes lament my missed opportunity to carry on the heritage of Luhr Jensen & Sons. Little is left of the company, aside from a museum to its history, and its memory amongst the towns folk, many of whom were employed at one time or another at the plant. Thankfully, the products are still produced under the Luhr Jensen name and are still a staple of the salmon fishing industry up and down the West Coast.

Hood River has changed over the years, and evolved into a tourism driven econ-omy. Recreation and proximity to resort-style living has influenced the economy and led to skyrocketing property values. Visiting Hood River, it is easy to forget that it is a town born of hard work and sacrifice - a true embodiment of the entre-preneurship and industry that defines the Northwest.

This project is dedicated to that legacy, as well as that of my great grandfather.

Luhr Jensen Sr

The Maker’s Market project is for a public indoor/outdoor market to serve the City of Hood River as a venue for commerce, public gathering, and arts and leisure. Sited on a series of lots on 2nd and 1st Avenues in Hood River’s Historic down-town, the project will become a hearth for the city, where people can gather to buy and exchange goods and services, or simply ‘be’ in a public venue while en-joying the sense of place bestowed by the historic context and natural influences of the Columbia Gorge. The architecture will be one of outdoor plazas, covered pedestrian “retail alleys”, and open and visible craft spaces where the skill and trades of the vendors will be highlighted as a “living workspace” for the public.

In an effort to honor the history of the town and usher in a connection with its forward-looking present day, the vendors selected for the project will be a host of Northwest-based entrepreneurs, pursuing crafts both old and new. Some of the vendors will be in early stages of product introduction, and will use the market as a vessel to incubate their business to a brick and mortar level. Others will be established and permanent names, whose craft and innovation have stood the test of time and helped define character of the Pacifc Northwest. The Hood River Farmer’s market, currently housed on a weekly basis at the Hood River Times’ parking lot, will occupy the public space on Saturdays, with a limited daily pres-ence in some of the vendor areas. The public will benefit in this way from an aggregated set of businesses offering relevant goods on a daily basis, rather than a weekly market with a decidedly tourist-focus. Vendors will benefit by pool-ing resources and services in a co-working model, while their proximity to one another will amplify their business and become an economic boon for the city. In these ways, the project seeks to unify the populace by paying homage to the hardworking cultural milieu at its core, simultaneously providing a resource and service to locals and tourists alike.

The construction and building loans for the project will be financed by a private real estate investment trust comprised of several prominent Northwest inves-tors and developers. Operationally, the Market will form itself as a non-profit entity funded primarily by the vendor rents, event revenues, and 501c(3) dona-tions from the public. The City of Hood River will subsidize the project from a tax standpoint in order to foster its creation of a functioning public space for the citizens of Hood River, and a private land endowment has generously provided the permanent site for the project.

project statement

Nestled in the Columbia Gorge 65 miles east of Portland, Hood River has a rich history in the Pacific Northwest as a supplier of much of the state’s fruit and pro-duce from its bountiful orchards along the Hood River Valley. Founded in 1895, Hood River had an early and vibrant rail connection to Portland and east to The Dalles and Pendleton. This railroad facilitated the exchange of goods and com-merce along the Gorge Corridor, and was a major driver of the economy in Hood River, as produce was packed and prepared in warehouses along the waterfront (still visible in the picture above) and loaded onto waiting trains for delivery to distribution centers in Portland’s “Produce Row.” Today, Hood River has retained much of its agricultural roots in spite of a growing tourist influence, driven by the rise of action sports such as windsurfing, kite-boarding, mountain biking and skiing. The city center is an eclectic mix of tourist focused businesses, a growing “hi-tech” presence, and a historic old-town.

Oak Street forms the primary east-west axis of the Hood River downtown, as well as its commercial core. A gridded plat of 200’x200’ blocks, the downtown has steep grades down to the river. Most blocks have a full story of grade change over the course of their 200’ run (as can be seen in the image of the Hood River Hotel at right). Bounding the downtown to the North is the I-84 freeway and Union Pacific Rail Line, both of which enforce an imposing separation from the town’s marina and waterfront, which in recent decades has been designed as an industrial park. To the south, the residential character of the bounding neighbor-hoods permeates as far as State street, where it meets the downtown edge. The character of most of the buildings is historic load-bearing masonry. Many of the newer buildings that have filled in the downtown over the years have mim-icked this style using masonry veneer, leaving a fairly uniform and distinctly “old-town” feel to the area.

public spacetheory and discussion

Hood River, like many towns throughout the United States, suffers from a lack of true public space. This is evidenced by the clear absence of a town square, plaza, or many other of the classic forms public space takes.

The townspeople of Hood River share a Northwesterner’s love for their local eating and drinking establishments - on any given day or night this is where the people can be found aggregating - particularly in one of the local microbrewer-ies that the town has become known for. But this form of gathering, while social in nature and comprised of many of the characteristics of public space, must not be mistaken for the true thing. Restaurants, breweries, and cafes, whether indoor or out are not wholly inclusive of the entire populace, and therefore cannot be considered truly public.

When factoring in the issue of tourism, the problem is compounded. As a town with a distinctly tourist-driven economy, it becomes challenging to create a place that feels just as much at home to the residents as it does to the visitors. In the efforts to create a distinctive place, many towns reach too far and wind up creat-ing a “tourist trap” that defeats the purpose of the public space in the first place. If a place feels artificial or contrived, devoid of time or place, it loses that intan-gible feeling that makes great public spaces great. In the quest for good public space in Hood River, great care will have to be taken to be sensitive to the roots of the town and avoid blindly catering to the tourist economy, thereby ignoring the townspeople as consequence.

In studying historic towns such as Hood River, a question often arises. Is “Main Street” a public place? It goes without saying that if prompted to list the public spaces of Hood River, it would certainly be at the forefront of the discussion, but is it possessed of the qualities that a public space needs? In experiencing Hood River’s “Main Street” (Oak), I would assert that while it is a character defining aspect of the town and it’s history, the street is not a truly public space. This has become evident through conversation and observation of residents of the town, including my own relatives, who have an attitude towards the place that ranges from blithe indifference to outright avoidance. This sentiment stems largely from the tourist nature of the street, but also due to the pertinence (or lack thereof) of it’s offerings.

“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.” - Jane Jacobs

If townspeople feel this way - and my sense is that many do - then how could the place be considered public? All this is not to say that Oak Street does not possess a sense of place. Walking down Oak street, you can’t help but feel the essence of the town - it’s age, context in the Gorge, topography, culture and spirit are all evident. It simply has lost the sense of inclusivity that it used to possess in the early days of the town, when it was a true main street. Gone now are the drugstores, diners, blacksmiths and cobblers, and in their place are now high end mountain bike shops, ritzy boutiques, and wine bars.

The goal of this project is to address the inclusivity that is lacking in Hood River. This project seeks to bring a space to Hood River with enough life and vitality that it lends itself to simply watching and being - where a person, whether they are local or not, can simply spend an afternoon meandering in a public market or sit and drink in the scenery of the Columbia Gorge. As a venue for public discourse, entertainment and learning, the project will draw together the town in ways that true public spaces do.

In classic societies, particulary agrarian ones like that of Hood River, the act of “going to market”, either to sell one’s wares or to purchase daily necessities, was one of the most universal facts of daily life. At the marketplace, one could find all manner of vendors selling their wares, along with people carving out a living performing, or providing some service such as shoe shining or knife sharpening. There is no stratification of class in the market - it is an amalgamation of rich and poor, all ethnicities and religions. It is for this reason that the great markets of history, and today, are some of the most quintessentially public places that exist.

A truly public scene

1 Waterfront Park

The largely industrial Port area that lies to the north of downtown Hood River is home to the newly visioned Waterfront Park, created in 2009 after a land gift to the city from the Port of Hood River in 2005. The park has been heralded as highly successful, albeit mainly with young children. Because of it’s accessi-bility issues and disparate nature, the park is difficult to consider a truly public place, as it has become home almost exclusively to families with children, and windsurfers. The amenities featured in the park, including a “kid-sized” rock wall and an obstacle course featuring boulders and logs, are distinctly child-focused, and although successful at reinforcing the city’s outdoorsy and health-minded identity, do less for making the park a universal resource to the city.

2 Full Sail Brewery / Double Mountain Brewery

Full Sail, an iconic Hood River brand since they restored the Diamond Fruit Can-nery into a brewery in 1987, and newcomer Double Mountain Brewery, are both mainstays of the Hood River social scene. At these breweries, locals and tourists alike can come in, dry off from a day on the river, and enjoy a beer with friends while celebrating the slower pace of life in Hood River. These venues both favor the tourist set, because of their downtown locations near the waterfront, and up-scale pricing, and cannot be considered truly public destinations as they are, at the end of the day, private businesses. Nevertheless, they are a reminder of the importance of the brewery in the culture of the Northwest, and in particular, Hood River.

3 Hood River County Library/Georgiana Smith Park

Situated near the heart of Hood River, the County Library and accompanying park were built in 1913 and lie on the National Register of Historic Places. Renovated in 2002 by Fletcher Farr Ayotte, the library is a beautiful and historical addition to the downtown scene. Georgiana Smith Park, which is the name for the library grounds, is a pristine and gently sloping lawn which addresses Oak Street. Adja-cent from small boutiques that begin to form the commercial fabric of the Down-town area, the lawn becomes a gathering place on Spring and summer days, helped largely by its proximity to Mike’s Ice Cream Shop, a family favorite in the town. Though this place is quintessentially public and possesses a strong sense of place, it does not offer the broad range of opportunities that more successful public spaces would.

4 Saturday Farmer’s Market

Hood River has a weekly Saturday Market in the parking lot of the Hood River Times Newspaper. Recently celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary, the market is a cel-ebration of the spirit of the town’s craftspeople, and a cry for a more appropriate location befitting its wealth of vendors and products. This is more of a “locals scene” as the products sold are mostly fresh produce, or food products made with local ingredients. Unlike some Saturday Markets, this market leans more towards daily necessities rather than tourist trinkets. With a little more infastruc-ture and a better location, this market could be an anchor for the town, and a truly public place.

The Railyard Overlook site is aptly named for its proximity to the historic rail line connecting Portland and Hood River. The primary building on-site is a wood framed building with masonry veneer, and is not a historically contributing ele-ment in the downtown area. The building and land belongs to my family, and the remainder of the site is primarily dedicated to parking. The site backs up to the historic Hood River Hotel, which is on the register of historic places and a land-mark for the town. To the north, the 2nd St overpass branches to the industrial marina, and views of the Columbia and Washington shoreline lie beyond. During windy days, the Gorge is full of windsurfers and kiteboarders directly in front of the site, a hallmark of Hood River. A subtle grade change from south to north, and irregularly shaped adjoining lots are the primary challenges of the site, but will create intriguing options for the scheme design.

This photograph taken from the adjacent corner shows the sweeping views of the Gorge that the site has potential to take advantage of.

This diagonal view of the site shows the sloping grade of the site, and the interior of the site that could host the fu-ture plaza and public space components of the program.

Across Industrial St lies the “Annex” portion of the site, which could be aptly sized and positioned for a brewery and public house.

The looming Hood River Hotel to the south of the site will be a key contextual factor to contend with, but also con-tributes a strong sense of “place” to the project.

QUALITATIVE ELEMENTS

QUANTITATIVE ELEMENTS QUALITATIVE ELEMENTS

hood river maker's market program

QUANTITATIVE ELEMENTS QUALITATIVE ELEMENTS

QUANTITATIVE ELEMENTS

1 Ampitheater/Movie Screening

This program element calls for the creation of an outdoor movie theater and event space for the community. The people of Hood River have had a long tradition of outdoor “drive in” movies. There is something romantic and casual about watch-ing a movie on a late summer evening in the orchards - this space will bring that notion into the urban context. The space will do a great deal in fostering the “living room for the city” goal of this project, and will have considerable trans-parency with other major outdoor spaces and plazas.

2 Farmer’s Market Plaza

This is the largest outdoor space in the program and is designed to handle the in-flux of vendors during Saturday Farmer’s Market. It is outdoor, uncovered space that can facilitate the putting up of tents and pavillions for the vendors. It has a direct transparency with the Ampitheater, which would facilitate musical perfor-mances during the market hours. This is “spill-out” space from the permanent vendor area, which is indoors and covered.

3 Water Space

I consider the formative elements of the Gorge to be water, trees and mountains. The water space of the project will evoke the power of the water, in a symbolic space such as a reflecting pool. The space will be offset from one of the primary outdoor spaces as a place of introspection and quiet.

4 Wood Space

The green space is about the life giving force of the trees in the Northwest. Many a livelihood was made on the forest, from the orchards to the Doug Fir logging tracts around the city. The rendering and process of the wood will be evoked, as well as the lifecycle - growth, death, and rebirth.

5 Rock Space

The final element in the trio of forces acting on the Gorge, is represented in a textural and monolithic sculpture gracing the open space(s) of the project.spatial narratives

6 Brewery/Public House

One of the project’s anchor tenants, Double Mountain Brewery, will provide a great service to the Market in the form of a public house and “open brewery” on the site. There will be a full breakfast/lunch/dinner menu in addition to micro-brews made on-site. The “open brewery” will boast daily “brewer’s tours” where childrens and adults can learn and observe the process behind the beer. Open mic events, book readings, concerts, and televised sporting events will be some of the types of activities found here.

7 Urban Lifestyle Studios

Part of the mission of the market is to create an intimate and urban style of living into the downtown area. As such, four studios will be part of the project to bring density to Hood River’s small downtown and help subsidize the market’s opera-tional costs. These highly desirable units will have unobscured Gorge views and enjoy the vibrant lifestyle created by the market. Small floorplans and highly sustainable amenities will reinforce the goal of the market as an engine for sus-tainability and reducing the footprint of urban life.

8 Daily Indoor Marketplace

The heart of the project, the daily market place is a covered, heated, indoor year-round market for bringing “made and crafted” goods to market. In contrast to the production spaces of the market, most of the goods sold in this section are food-related. Some of the vendors are listed in the following pages. These are typically short-to-midterm tenants who either lack a brick and mortar presence in town or are trying to increase the reach of their product. Spatially, this part of the program will be able to “open up” to the outdoor Farmer’s Market Plaza on pleasant days.

9 Demonstration Kitchen

As an amenity for patrons to the market, a full service demonstration kitchen will be included in the Daily Marketplace, to connect patrons with the food and process behind it. The space will be rentable during market hours for cooking classes taught by market vendors or the greater community.

10 Maker’s Workshop Anchors

Two anchor tenants have been chosen to represent the Maker’s portion of the program. These companies, Danner Boots and Faraday Bikes, have been chosen as emmissaries of a level of craft, detail, and beauty that defines Northwest made goods. The profiles of both companies are included in the following pages. A juxtaposition of an age old trade with an innovative and techno-centric twist on a classic one is indicative of the dichotomy that defines companies in Hood River - to fit in here you either seem to be rugged and classic or on the cutting edge of the future, and that is what these tenants are about.

Spatially, these workshop spaces are about describing and illustrating the pro-cess behind the product. They are about celebrating the effort and care that goes into every pair of boots, or every beautiful line in the design of a new bicycle. As anchor tenants, these companies will be champions for craft - and that message will be heard loud and clear by other tenants and the public alike.

11 Maker’s Workshop Pop-Ups

The large, open Maker’s workshop will house between 4 and 5 other companies in less developed stages of their business cycle. Pooling resources and elevat-ing their craft in the presence of the public and their peers will help push the envelope of their business and grow them to a more mature level, at which point they can move on and make way for the newest makers to follow.

12 Office Spaces

A small staff and a director will comprise the team behind the Maker’s Market. They will handle the logistics of the market, including vendor coordination, ac-counts receivable, and event scheduling.

13 Educational/Multi-Use

Underlying every effort of the Maker’s Market is the continuation of generations of makers and doers. This mission is carried out in multi-use spaces provided in the program, where classes, lectures, and demonstrations can be held. The mar-ket staff will have a monthly program facilitating some of this, while the remain-der can be infilled by local organizations.

sustainabilitygoals & strategy

Water

Staged in the backdrop of the Columbia River Gorge, this project will under-standably have a profound sustainable focus on the treatment, preservation, and usage of water. The primary strategies by which this project will seek to minimize its adverse impact on the local ecosystem will be:

Bioswales - Stormwater runoff will be collected and diverted to perimeter bioswales. These deep organic filters will take graywater runoff from the project’s ample roof systems, and percolate them through organic filters be-fore they reach the aquifers of the Columbia Gorge Watershed. These small “water gardens” will beautify the site and downtown area while providing a very functional purpose within the project.

Pervious Paving - With plentiful on-site hardscaping, the project will seek to reduce the amount of runoff during rain events by employing a minimum of 75% pervious paving in all hardscaped areas. Using proprietary concrete products that are pourous in nature, the open spaces on the site will absorb water in all but the most severe rain events, allowing graywater to percolate harmlessly (and more slowly) into the ground rather than runoff into the Columbia or Hood Rivers.

Graywater Treatment & Re-Use - Some of the graywater from the operations of the project will be harnessed and treated for re-use. As an example, the large amounts of water used in the brewing process at Double Mountain Brewery will be captured and treated for re-use in the public toilets and non-potable water needs of the project.

Solar

Free of the coastal cloud cover that impacts Portland and other cities close to the Pacific Ocean, Hood River enjoys more sun-days than many other towns in Oregon. Appropriately, solar capture strategies will be employed in the project, pending site shadow analysis and ROI calculations. The north side of the site may be apt for positioning of photovoltaic arrays, as it is free of the Oak Street building shadows, as would a built structure over Cascade or Industrial streets (see Sant Antoni Market precedent).

Wind

Wind Power - Studies done in response to building integrated wind tur-bines have indicated that optimum locations for wind collection as a power sourcing strategy may not be as high as previously thought, making the possibility for application on a low-rise project such as this one possible Wind power applications will be studied thoroughly to determine their vi-ability for this project.

Wind Shelter - Schematic design is the first step in optimizing a building for sustainable performance. While wind can be a boon in the Gorge, it can also be a nuisance. Because of the outdoor nature of much of the program in this project, great care will be taken to analyze prevailing wind patterns and structure the building masses in such a way that the wind does not become disruptive to the project.

Materiality

Building materials will be selected to reflect the character and history of the town, while maintaining a modern response and a delicate impact on the environment. Zero VOC paint, locally harvested lumber, and recycled fiber insulation will be some of the strategies implemented in the construction of the project.

Usage Patterns

Low-Usage Appliances & Fixtures - All water-using appliances in the proj-ect will conform to the highest standards of conservation, or will employ automatic shutoff mechanisms to reduce usage. LED light sources, or high efficiency fluorescents will be used in all lighting applications. Fixtures will include timers, motion sensors, and automatic shutoffs to reduce electrical usage.

Utility Monitoring- A tenant utility monitoring screen will be accessible in a common area of the project. This concept, employed in Portland’s Eco-Flats development on N Williams street, has been shown to encourage posi-tive usage patterns and discourage wastefulness.

anchor tenant - craftdanner

Danner, a maker of hand crafted boots and accessories, has been selected as an anchor tenant for the project. Their line of footwear epitomizes the dedica-tion to craft and quality, in a product targeted to hardworking men and women of the Northwest. Founded in 1932, by relatives of the Jensen’s, Danner’s rise to success closely paralleled that of Luhr Jensen and Sons, with roots in the Great Depression and a close following of die-hard supporters throughout the North-west. A major breakthrough came for Danner when they were selected for an exclusive contract to provide boots for the United States Special Forces branches of the military, a contract they still hold today. The comfort and durability of their boots, for decades a hallmark of the company, had finally earned them interna-tional respect. Danner now enjoys a resurgence of success, with their fashion-able Stumptown line, and is well poised for their next venture - the “Gorge” line - a line of boots and apparel hand-made in their Hood River Maker’s Market flagship, and constructed for the rigorous demands of the hardworking people of the Columbia Gorge.

anchor tenant - food & bev.double mountain brewery

Beer entrenched itself in the culture of the Northwest firmly in 1862 when Henry Weinhard started his brewing empire in NW Portland, and the rest was history. Now Portland proudly boasts itself as Beer Capital of the USA, and is home to the largest concentration of craft breweries in the United States. Nearby Hood River has a lively craft brewing scene of its own, and arguably the most current rising star is Double Mountain Brewery. Currently located two blocks from the Railyard Overlook site, and across the street from the larger and nationally known Full Sail Brewery, Double Mountain has outgrown its current location in a former automotive garage purchased from Dave Jensen in the 1990’s, and is looking for a flagship location that will anchor their presence in Hood River while they focus on growing their business and bringing their distinctive and bold brews to new markets around the Northwest. The Hood River Maker’s Market is proud to host Double Mountain as their featured destination for food and drink.

A hit at the 2011 Oregon Manifest design competition and chosen as the People’s Choice Winner, the Faraday Porteur bike is a success story of entrepreneurial vision, design, and high-tech innovation. The brainchild of Portland native and IDEO designer Adam Vollmer, the Faraday bike is an electric assist utility bike that evokes classic styling and reinvents the very notion of bicycle commuting. Designed to be suitable for even the rigorous hills of San Francisco (not un-like the steep grades found in Hood River, OR), the bike provides the user hours of electric assist to make commuting up and down hills a breeze. Integrating advanced technology including high powered lithium batteries, integral LED headlights, and an iOS/bluetooth connection that provides users up to date in-formation on route and power info, the bike is exactly the type of high design and innovation that has found its home in the Gorge. Faraday has recently decided to relocate its operations back to the Northwest from San Francisco, and the Hood River Maker’s Market will be an ideal design/fabrication labratory and small retail outlet for its bicycles.

Turtle Island Foods, Inc

Creators of the Tofurky line of meatless substitute foods, Turtle Island has recently moved its headquarters to Hood River in what was a major influx of jobs and industry for the town. As part of their community outreach and increasing interest in the vegetarian health movement, Turtle Island will maintain a full time presence at the marketplace to hand out product sam-ples, coupons, and promotions.

Juanita’s Fine Foods, Inc

One of the first three Mexican families to move to Hood River in 1937, the Juanita’s company was born from a lack of authentic hispanic foods (espe-cially tortillas) in the Hood River Valley, an area that was becoming home to many Mexican workers in the orchards. By 1977 the Juanita’s brand was formed and has since become a major name in the valley and a supplier for many Northwest restaurants. Juanita’s will serve and sell its goods in the Maker’s Market the original way - face to face in a local setting.

Draper Girls Country Farm

A mainstay of the Portland Farmer’s market scene, Draper Girls is known regionally for their highest quality orchard products and ciders. Without a proper venue to bringing their goods to market on a regular basis in Hood River, the Draper Girls Country Farm has relied on a weekly presence in the PSU and Hillsboro Farmers markets. No longer - with the creation of the Hood River Maker’s Market, Draper Girls will be the ambassador for Hood River produce in a local venue.

Boy’s Fort

With roots as a holiday pop-up shop in Downtown Portland’s Galleria, a warm reception of Boy’s Fort and their highly curated collection of made goods and “gentleman chic” has created a following and led to a perma-nent home in NE Portland for the company. With plans to still “pop-up” in Portland and dazzle design-hungry shoppers with their ability to transform raw spaces into a wonderland of goods, Boy’s Fort will be a welcome short - mid term tenant in the Maker’s Workshop space of the Market.

Bloke

Botanical designer Justin Waddell parlayed a career in interior design in Montana into Portland-based Bloke, a design and lifestyle shop that creates inspired natural arrangements for any space. With a client list that reads as a who’s-who of Portland’s creative elite, Bloke’s work is as inspiring to watch be made as it is to have in your home. The success garnered by Bloke has led to plans for expansion, and with a workshop that is an eye-catching amalgamation of all things living, as well as found and reclaimed objects, it would be a welcome addition to the Maker’s Workshop.

Hammer + Hand Furniture

Hammer and Hand is a well known Portland and Seattle based design firm focusing on innovative and intricately crafted design-built spaces. The force behind a number of Portland’s most notable residences, restaurants, and interiors, they are known for their dedication to the finest details. Many of their works feature custom furniture pieces - with the addition of the Hammer + Hand Furniture studio in the Maker’s Market, they can bring their custom pieces to a higher level of design and introduce them to the retail market.

program precedentbeam & anchor, PDX

The brainchild of husband and wife team Jocelyn and Robert Rahm, Beam & Anchor is at the heart of Portland’s “community capitalism” movement. It is a reclaimed industrial space located in Portland’s inner NE Industrial area, home to breweries, manufac-turing, and storage warehouses. Inside, a carefully crafted interior houses retail on the ground floor, curated in a “living room” style showroom floor, while upstairs the making of goods occurs in an open-plan work space that has been partitioned to house the needs of craftspersons ranging from seamstresses to boat builders. Common spaces such as a kitchen and lounge space are shared, and frequent events and cocktail parties are thrown to promote the goods and efforts of the artisans in a communal setting.

program precedentADX/portland made

ADX, which stands for “art+design+PDX” has garnered quite the buzz in the Portland community for its unique take on com-munity capitalism and bringing made goods to market. Con-ceived as a production space that works on a membership model, allowing members to purchase small work spaces and take advantage of shared equipment, storage, and utilities, the project has since grown to include a broader understanding of what is possible within such a model. Portland Made, an ex-tension of ADX, now focuses on bringing and marketing goods made within the shop, and creating actual economies from the ideas generated at ADX. Says the owner, “[ADX] is a perfect dia-gram of where I’d hope our economy is headed, which is people having the ability to come together and do their thing but also do it in a much smarter and more efficient way by sharing tools and resources.”

architectural precedentmilwaukee public marketKubala Washatko

One of the latest in a wave of public food markets sweeping the nation, the Milwaukee Public Market in Milwaukee Wisconsin was built in 2005 in the city’s historic Third Ward district, bringing a contemporary presence to an area that was for decades a hub of market activity. Like many successful markets, the MPM honors the historic warehousing and merchandising context of its site and revitalizes the buildings and blocks surrounding it. Thwart-ing the challenging Wisconsin weather as a covered and heated building, the market is focused on maximizing its offerings year-round. It’s aim is to “[foster] a way of life that was never lost in Europe.” Architecturally, the diagram at right demonstrates how the market creates internal retail alleys to create a narrow and meandering shopping experience for pedestrians. The plan maximizes the number of entries from various streets, making the market a point of gravitation for the surrounding district.

social precedentbrooklyn flea, NYC

Created by New Yorkers Eric Demby and Jonathan Butler, both of whom re-nounced successful careers in more “traditional” fields, the Brooklyn Flea is a collection of some of the nations largest public flea markets that occurs in vari-ous locations around the Brooklyn bourough of New York City. The market has been lauded for its ability to “provide an alternative to big-box retail that em-bodies a private sector spirit while yielding generous public benefits,” and was awarded the 2009 Certificate of Merit from the Municipal Art Society. More a logistical exercise than a brick and mortar precedent, the Brooklyn Flea serves as inspiration for the ways that it draws people together on grand public stages (the inside of ornate classical buildings, as well as the sprawling views of the Hudson river waterfront, to name a few) to exchange goods and services. In this way it has become an “exceptional contribution to the life of New York City” as I too envision my project will be for Hood River.

architectural precedentsant antoni marketRavetllat-Ribas

The Sant Antoni Market, by Ravetllat-Ribas Architects, is a per-manent outdoor pavillion for a once-weekly (Sunday) market in Barcelona, Spain. Designed as a temporary solution to provide space for the weekly market while it’s intended location was re-furbished, the covered street pavillion was a “reversible solution” to the problem of housing the market. It seemed logical to the architects, as the street it covers is already closed on Sundays for the market, so by providing an overhead canopy, the space could be better utilized. During the week the street is open to traffic and the 4.5 meter clearance of the canopy does not inter-fere with any of the traffic that passes through the urban area, as allowed by code. The roof structure contains the drive mecha-nisms for retractable panels that allow the structure to open up and “breathe” during non-market days, or close to provide more cover for vendors on Sundays.
