Green Gables Design and Restoration

What Green Gables Design and Restoration does

Green Gables Design and Restoration is a privately held design:build construction firm founded in 1978 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, serving affluent homeowners in the Pacific Northwest. The company operates an integrated design:build methodology that combines architectural design, interior design, construction, and renovation/restoration services under a single entity, working alongside a stable of regional architecture firms (Skylab, BORA Architects, Emerick Architects, Stuart Silk, Jeffrey Miller) and interior design studios (JHL Design, Bright Design Lab, Maison, ZGF) on individual projects.

The firm's core offering centers on high-end custom residential construction, with a smaller commercial project line accessed via a separate brand (ggc-construction.com). Projects span the Portland metro area (West Hills, Southwest Hills, Nob Hill, Pearl District, Lake Oswego), Oregon coast communities (Manzanita, Neakahnie, Arch Cape, Tillamook, Cannon Beach), and selectively into Washington (White Salmon). Green Gables emphasizes sustainable, ecologically friendly building practices and long-term material permanence. On certain projects the firm also provides architecture while outsourcing construction to partners such as Scalabrin Company and Oblius Construction, or vice versa.

The business model is project-based, with revenue derived from design fees and construction contract values for completed custom homes and select commercial work. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct contact (phone 503.223.5109, email [email protected]). Client acquisition relies on referrals, relationships within the regional architecture community, and a portfolio-driven website; the firm holds an Oregon CCB contractor license (#22956). The company employs 11-50 people and operates without disclosed outside investors or parent ownership.
