Aligned Architecture offers a full range of architectural services that support every project we take on, from early feasibility and site planning through construction administration and interior detailing.

Specialties
As our work has developed across all project types and sizes, we have brought our distinctive approach to some key areas of focus. We’ve developed the ADU and small home concepts that have spread amongst multiple municipalities, designed the adaptive reuse of large commercial and historic structures, created innovative affordable and middle housing projects to address social needs, and brought modern sustainable design to a wide variety of distinctive custom homes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Aligned Architecture handle feasibility studies and code analysis or only building design?
Aligned Architecture provides feasibility studies and code analysis as part of our full range of services, helping clients understand zoning and site constraints before architectural design begins.
What is the difference between master planning and architectural design?
Master planning addresses how a site or multi-building development is organized as a whole, while architectural design focuses on the design of individual buildings within that plan.
Does Aligned Architecture provide 3D renderings before construction begins?
Yes. 3D rendering and visualization can be used to help clients and stakeholders see a project before it’s built.
What services are included in a typical project with Aligned Architecture?
Most projects include architectural design services, sustainable design, interior design, and construction administration, with site planning, feasibility studies, code analysis, master planning, and 3D visualization added depending on project scope.
Why does listening matter so much in the design process?
A design can only be as good as the firm’s understanding of what each client needs. We treat listening and clear communication as core to every phase, starting with conceptual design, so the finished project reflects the client’s goals rather than assumptions about them.
Where does Aligned Architecture provide architectural services?
Based in Eugene, Oregon, we’ve designed projects throughout Oregon, homes for clients in Oregon, Colorado, and Washington, and completed commercial renovation and adaptive reuse projects in Oregon and California. If you’re located elsewhere, reach out to discuss your project.
Does Aligned Architecture use CMGC delivery?
Yes. On most of our projects, including single-family homes, affordable housing, public sector, and commercial work, we use Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) delivery, which brings a contractor into the design process early rather than after design is complete. This collaboration typically leads to lower costs, a quicker timeline, and a higher-quality finished building. We’re happy to help you select a contractor, and we can work with another delivery method if you prefer.
