What Peter Meijer Architect does

Peter Meijer Architect, PC (PMA) is a Portland, Oregon-based historic preservation architecture firm founded in 2003 that provides architecture, material science, and preservation planning services to government, institutional, nonprofit, and commercial clients across the Pacific Northwest. The firm's core offerings include architecture design for resilient and sustainable spaces, scientific analysis of historic building materials (paint cross-section microscopy, slate roof assessment using laser scanning and ASTM-standard laboratory testing, and masonry/cast stone composition evaluation), and preservation planning services covering National Register nominations, Section 106/ORS 358.653 consultation, and Historic Tax Credit coordination. Notable technical differentiators include proprietary paint analysis methodology, slate roof assessment protocols combining photogrammetry with field sampling, and material compatibility assessment for restoration work.

The firm operates as a project-based professional services practice with quote-based, scope-specific engagements and no publicly disclosed standard pricing. Client acquisition occurs through direct relationships, referrals, public-sector bidding, and ongoing participation in preservation conferences and community presentations. PMA frequently serves as a specialty preservation consultant on multidisciplinary teams led by larger Pacific Northwest architecture firms — Mahlum, Waterleaf, Opsis, Schreiber Starling & Lane, SWL Architects, and Starling Whitehead & Lux — supplementing prime contractors with historic envelope assessment, SHPO coordination, and material testing expertise.

The firm employs approximately ten professionals including founder/principal Peter Meijer, associates, an associate-principal, preservation planners, marketing staff, and interns, operating from a single Portland headquarters at 2232 SE Clinton St. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the firm has no venture capital backing, no subsidiaries, and functions as an independent professional corporation. The firm has earned multiple industry recognitions including AIA Oregon Architecture Awards, Restore Oregon Demuro Award, Oregon Excellence in Concrete Awards, and a Gold Certified Green Business designation from the City of Portland.
