Critical Facilities Design
Reliable design for resilient facilities.
Reliable design for resilient facilities.
Critical facilities design requires technical expertise and a heightened sensitivity to problems posed by events as well as close coordination with the operators to ensure the design enhances their operational effectiveness.
AREAS OF FOCUS
Operations Facilities
Utility Facilities
Fire Stations
Medical Facilities
This SW Washington facility is the base for BPA regional transmission line and substation maintenance crews, substation operators, power system control technicians, and field engineers. The seven-acre site includes an office building and maintenance building for storage of vehicles and equipment. The design enhances cooperation between field crews and engineering staff and the LEED certified project achieves net zero energy use.
“Mike Shea led a small team to design OSU’s Operations building, a $20M CM/GC project on a greenfield site. I was impressed by the thoroughness of the Soderstrom team and their commitment in seeing the job through to completion without additional design fees. Soderstrom delivered a great project while helping us to stay within budget. I would recommend them to other owners with similar projects.”
Christina Vinson, Project Manager – Design & Construction, OSU
“From the beginning of the project, Soderstrom listened to what the community, elected officials, and the firefighters wanted. They then designed a beautiful, functional, and efficient fire station that will meet the needs of the community and firefighters for decades to come. Specifically, Associate Principal Architect Erica Jankowski was an excellent partner in the project. She was extremely knowledgeable, timely, and creative but what stood out the most was her focus on delivering a high level of customer service to all the parties involved in the project..”

TRUSTED EXPERTISE
Through hands-on experience working at local wineries and distilleries, we have developed a broad understanding of the fermentation, distilling, and aging process, as well as a strong familiarity with the equipment required to insure efficiency and the highest quality product. Just as buildings evolve over time, winery spaces serve different functions depending on the season. The crush pad may serve as a dining terrace, fermentation rooms can become banquet halls, and barrel rooms can transform into intimate dining rooms.
Our approach incorporates the latest in sustainable designs to create a symbiotic relationship with the surrounding environment. From durable material selection to high-efficiency mechanical systems, our designs are easy to maintain, focused on longevity, and respectful of their environs.
We see architectural expression as an opportunity to reinforce the character of a winery’s brand. We’ll develop design options that are unique to your character, site, and vision.
Maintaining a focus on functionality, we understand that wineries must accommodate the movement of visitors, truck traffic and pedestrians. Site circulation is never an afterthought.
Our approach to winery design is informed by the concept of terroir. Just as the character of a landscape defines a wine, we believe it should also be central to the design of a winery. The site location, climactic adaptations, and local character provide endless inspiration.
