DC202 Modern Design Space - Located in the Leftbank Building
DC202 Space
David Horning, one of the architects at Modern Organic Architecture, invited me over to see his new Portland office located in the Leftbank Project building. David mentioned while we were setting up a meet time, that there were some additional design people that are located in the space that I should check out while I was here etc. What I expected to see was a couple of different offices of small businesses that sometimes do work together but what actually exists in this very large, open space is a living, breathing, community of modern design focused people that actively collaborate on projects. The design collective they have formed is called DC202 and is made up of David Horning – Modern Organic Architecture, Holly Freres – JHL Design, Bill Fritts – Intelligent Design and Solid Core, Gary Hartill – ORANGEWALLstudios. The attitude of the group is very open, non-competative, wanting to share ideas and space with each other (real life modern family). There is a very strong sense of community within the group, the combined goal being: getting sustainable, beautiful modern design out into the world. DC202 has started a monthly open house happy hour for all design people to come and meet new, like -minded folks, share ideas, or just hang out in the cozy space they have created. Their next event is Friday, February 26th 2010 from 4-5:30pm at the Leftbank Project Building – 240 N Broadway Ste. 202, bring a bottle of wine to share!
P.S. Don’t forget to say hi to the cutest members of the collective, Greta and Tucker.
