Scott Edwards Architecture
We are a collaborative, people-first architecture firm. Our design approach puts the vision, goals, and needs of the people we design for at the heart of our creative process. We begin each project with fresh eyes, check our ego at the door, and above all, we listen.
Headquartered in Portland, OR, our award-winning design firm is licensed to practice architecture in Oregon and 31 other states. SEA has been providing architecture, interior design, and planning services throughout the Northwest on a wide range of project types since our founding in 1998. We pride ourselves in being able to draw from our civic, healthcare, education, commercial, hospitality, community, multi-family, and planning experience to add a thoughtful, well-rounded perspective to each project.

Purpose
People First. Design Forward.
Vision
Our vision is a future in which design responds to people, centers communities, supports the surrounding environment, and respects the planet.
If we can see it together, we can create it together.
If we can see it together, we can create it together.
Mission
To Design Forward.
Designing forward means giving shape to change. It means looking ahead, around, and within for the best solutions. It means using our power as architects to visualize a world that is more harmoniously inhabited, shared, and enjoyed, and then build it.
Change and comfort, inclusivity and ingenuity, beauty—we have all of these things when we choose them, when we plan together and make space for them.
When we design forward, our clients are our teammates. Our community is our inspiration. And each project is guided by a collaborative intention to shape the future we want to see.
