Origami is an urban residential community of twelve for-sale homes in the Piedmont neighborhood of north Portland. Earth Advantage Platinum certified. Designed by Waechter Architecture and Lango Hansen and built by Yorke & Curtis. Architect Ben Waechter of Waechter Architecture organized the homes to look uniform; they’re all navy blue and their steeply pitched roofs provide for vaulted ceilings.

“Origami is not just a fitting name for this project. In a sense, all of Waechter Architecture’s work reminds me of origami art, in that it achieves beauty through a few simple moves,” says journalist and Portland Architecture blogger Brian Libby. “I like how these townhomes seem halfway between individual units and part of a larger whole.” Read more here.
