Project
This lifestyle retail development includes three buildings and site design in Bend, Oregon’s renowned Old Mill District.

The first challenge we faced was to deliver a design responsive to the client that reflected the historic context while providing a place that would be attractive to the high-end retailers targeted for the new development. Mackenzie designed the Northernmost Shops in a way...Learn more

Triangle Pointe

Project
Built in the late-’60s, Triangle Pointe had never been updated. Great bones were obscured behind dropped popcorn ceilings, beige quarry tile, and a forest of yellow oak.

The new purchaser desired to reposition the property to be a viable, productive, multi-tenant office building.

The result is a warm interpretation of modern design that offers a fresh counterpoint to the...Learn more
