Oddfellows, an award-winning creative studio specializing in design and animation originally based out of San Francisco, chose One North to be the location of their Portland outpost. For this office space, Oddfellows took about a quarter of the third floor of the Karuna West building and requested a clean, open and simple floor plan with just the essentials.

Owen Gabbert, LLC worked with the landlord and the folks at Oddfellows to create a workspace that joins form and function while allowing the beauty of the building to speak for itself – all on a tight budget. Exposed wood beams anchor the space, neutral tones of white and gray provide subtle accents throughout, and natural light permeates through west facing windows. The office is equipped with large worktables, a kitchen, a dining table and a Ping-Pong table for afternoon matches. The layout includes only one enclosed space, but provides maximum flexibility for growth and use.
