Peter Paulson

Portland, Oregon
​Housing Authority of Portland

Built to replace a low income hotel that was demolished, Peter Paulson provides 92 single room occupancy (SRO) units. Living entries, clustered around hallway ‘nodes,’ encourage resident interaction and promote a sense of security. Unique floor plans avoid the ‘shoebox’ effect often found in small SRO units (190 sf). Custom designed furniture, constructed by inmates of the Oregon State Penitentiary combine a couch, bed and storage in one piece.
