Posted on April 24, 2015 by nextportland

SERA Architects have received Design Advice from the Historic Landmarks Commission for a proposed expansion of the Northwest Portland Hostel. The five story building will include new lodging rooms, with a mix of dorm rooms and private rooms. Proposed ground floor program includes the lobby and reception; a public cafe; and a kitchen and dining area for the use of guests. Three elevational treatments were presented to the Commission for discussion. The approach was generally well received by the Commission, albeit with some concern over height and the impact to the adjacent historic buildings.
