What We Do

One integrated team, from first sketch to final inspection.

Led by registered architect Eli Green, we combine design, permitting expertise, and in-house construction for homeowners across the Portland metro area — providing one clear, accountable path from first sketch to finished space.

Our Philosophy

“Calm, considered architecture — not a rushed sales process. We build one relationship, not three handoffs.”

Why a predesigned ADU makes sense

Starting with a predesigned plan offers the balance of architectural quality and project efficiency — you skip the lengthy custom design phase and gain immediate budget clarity, while still personalizing finishes and fixtures to make it your own.

Specialized permitting: remodels & the FIR program

We have deep experience with Portland’s Field Issuance Remodel program for custom remodels. Important: ADUs cannot be legally permitted under FIR — we ensure your project takes the correct, compliant path.

Why SQFT Studios

Building an ADU shouldn’t mean compromising on design.
