Ffa Architecture & Interiors

At FFA Architecture and Interiors, Inc., we believe in the transformative power of design. We're a full-service design firm with a legacy dating back to 1956, and we've dedicated ourselves to creating timeless, beautiful, and sustainable architecture. We understand that the spaces we design are not just buildings, but environments that can inspire and empower the people who use them.

Our approach is centered around collaboration and understanding. We work closely with our clients to harness the collective power of our experiences and deliver not only thoughtfully crafted projects, but also an innovative and interactive process for the entire team. Our goal is to create environments that celebrate the potential of design.

Legacy

FFA's story began in 1955 when William Fletcher started a private architectural practice in his basement. The following year, he established an office in a house near downtown Portland at SW 14th and Columbia, sharing space with several other architects who became known as "The 14th Street Gang." Throughout his career, Bill paid careful attention to even the smallest details of his projects. Every aspect of his building design was organized and thought-out, working together to create a harmonious whole. Bill was actively involved in his projects until the day before his death. He was a true gentleman and passionate about architecture. His spirit continues to inspire the work of the firm that he founded over sixty years ago.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of FFA's work and culture. It's not just a supplement to our design process; it's the very foundation. We're committed to thoughtful stewardship of our natural and built environments through a careful consideration of balancing environmental, cultural, and economic resources today so they may persist for future generations.

FFA employs practical innovation and cutting-edge technology to create sustainable designs that not only benefit the environment but also the people who occupy the spaces.
