What Ankrom Moisan Architects does

Ankrom Moisan Architects is a full-service architecture, interior design, planning, and branding firm headquartered in Portland, Oregon, founded in 1983. The firm operates across four U.S. offices (Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Austin) and serves enterprise clients in housing (affordable, market-rate, senior living, student), healthcare, higher education, workplace, hospitality, retail, community/civic, and spiritual/faith-based sectors. Its service model is built on integrated multi-disciplinary teams combining architecture, interiors, planning, and brand disciplines within a single unified offering, organized into twelve specialized studios that can be assembled per project.

The firm's revenue model is project-based professional services, with fees typically calculated as a percentage of construction cost or hourly rates for specific services. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise sales targeting real estate developers, healthcare systems, educational institutions, senior living operators, government agencies, and faith-based organizations, supplemented by industry reputation and repeat client relationships. Notable client relationships include Microsoft, AvalonBay, Aegis Living, Providence, Hilton, OHSU, UW Medicine, and Vestas, with documented repeat engagements from anchor clients such as Aegis Living (8+ senior living communities) and AvalonBay (multiple towers). The firm is employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) with ownership eligibility within weeks of joining, and is led by President/CEO Murray Jenkins. Domain differentiators include 40+ years of West Coast market expertise, pioneering mass timber construction adoption, over 100 transit-oriented design projects completed, and research-based design methodology.

• Perkins&Will: Global architecture and design firm with established healthcare, senior living, higher education, and multifamily practices. Competes with Ankrom Moisan for institutional and large developer clients in the same West Coast markets but operates at significantly larger scale with national reach.
