Since Brad Cloepfil founded Allied Works Architecture in 1994, his creative leadership and body of work have been informed by the Oregon landscapes that surrounded him while growing up, a deep sense of place, and a love of craft, making and tectonics.

His architecture pairs an intense focus on the specific character of each project with an understanding of the transformative possibilities of space, light, form and material. His first major project was an adaptive reuse of a Portland warehouse for iconic advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy.

Cloepfil went on to design such key projects as the Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State University; the U.S. Embassy in Maputo, Mozambique; Eleven Madison Park in New York; the National Music Centre of Canada in Calgary, Alberta; and the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, Colorado.

Allied Works has received numerous design awards, and Cloepfil is a National Academy of Design Academician and a 2018 American Academy of Arts and Letters Award winner. He has lectured and taught widely throughout Europe, Asia and North America.

Ericka Colvin likens architecture to a team sport in that it requires coordination, trust and a shared goal. She enjoys the rhythm of a team effort and the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, clients and communities to bring visionary ideas to life.

Over the past two decades, Colvin has worked to ensure sustainable and equitable design in higher education and civic projects so that they don鈥檛 just meet performance metrics but also help shape the lives of the people who use them and reflect their values.

鈥淚 am passionate about using design to improve people鈥檚 lives and I love to see the power of design demonstrated in the outcomes of our work,鈥� she said.

Whether reusing a structure, reducing embodied carbon or advocating for healthier materials, Colvin sees every design project as an opportunity to contribute to a better climate future. She also guides operational carbon reduction efforts across Integrus鈥� offices and is integral to the firm鈥檚 participation in the Just label program, offering transparency of internal corporate social justice and equity practices.
