A home is a living partner in your daily life—the place where you wake up, host your favorite people, and find your quiet. We started this studio in Portland with a singular focus: to create spaces that feel as good as they look, centered entirely around the human beings who live within them.

We understand that bringing a vision to life is a heavy lift. That’s why we’ve designed Kindred to hold the entire process, bridging the gap between the dream and the dirt. From those first tentative sketches, the design, the complex navigation of city permits to the tactile joy of choosing finishes, we take the lead, shaping every phase of the build around your input. We specialize in custom homes, renovations, and ADUs that prioritize warmth, durability, and ease. We also bring a deep specialty to custom saunas, designing private sanctuaries for wellness right at home.

Great homes require a unified vision that doesn't stop at the front door. By collaborating with trusted specialists like Tari Gunstone of Wildscape Gardens, we ensure your home and landscape work together seamlessly. Because we value quality over volume, we intentionally limit our project load. It ensures that when you work with Kindred, you are gaining a partner who is as deeply invested in the soul of your home as you are.
