What Opsis Architecture does

Opsis Architecture LLP is a Portland, Oregon-based architecture, interior design, and planning firm founded in 1999 and structured as a Limited Liability Partnership. The firm specializes in sustainable design for civic, educational, and cultural facilities, with documented technical differentiation in mass timber construction (including the nation's first mass timber community center at Hidden Creek), LEED Gold-certified buildings, net-zero energy design via the Energy Trust of Oregon's Path to Net Zero program, and gender-inclusive facility design supported by published case studies. Service offerings span core architecture, interior design, master planning, sustainability consulting, and design-build delivery, organized across portfolio segments of Arts, Civic & Community, Higher Education, K-12 Schools, Sports & Recreation, and Student Life.

Opsis serves institutional clients primarily through qualifications-based public-sector procurement — RFQs, RFPs, and design-build partnerships — with a customer base concentrated in two verticals: educational institutions (Portland Public Schools, University of Washington, Western Oregon University, Utah State University, Reed College, Catlin Gabel, and multiple school districts) and municipal government (Vancouver Parks & Recreation District, Clackamas County, Hillsboro Parks & Recreation, Oregon Metro). The firm operates across the Pacific Northwest and into Idaho, Utah, and Michigan on a project-by-project basis without disclosed branch offices. Revenue is generated through traditional professional-services fees (percentage of construction cost, fixed fee, or hourly) under multi-year contracts, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm maintains in-house research and case-study publications, a portfolio website, and an organic social presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo) as its primary marketing channels, supplemented by sustained industry recognition from AIA, DBIA, USITT, WoodWorks, ASHRAE, and other bodies. Opsis owns and operates the renovated 1910 Lovejoy Building in Portland as both office space and a living lab for its sustainable design practice.
