  September 2006 — Present (1 year 9 months)

  SERA's core service, architecture, blends two traditions: urban revitalization and sustainable design. Founded over 36 years ago in the era of Portland's downtown renaissance, SERA's design approach stresses urban infill, reuse and redevelopment as important strategies in creating a new sense of community. Today, that same civic pride is dedicated to achieving an architecture that balances urban and natural resource flows. Our architecture strives for a sense of beauty, proportion and specificity of place while maintaining functionality and durability over time.
  
  Our focus on listening and learning ensures that each design expresses the unique needs and aspirations of our clients. SERA is a leader in the creative retro-fitting of existing buildings and historic preservation. We also strive to apply lessons learned from historic buildings to achieve long-lasting value in contemporary design.
