May 22nd – Heritage Talk #4 Architect Extraordinaire W.C. Knighton 6-8pm

Bob Clay joins us to talk about notable Oregon architect W.C. Knighton and some of the iconic structures he designed in Salem and across the state. Come and see images of his wonderful work as well as tour the home he built for Dr. Luke Port now known as Historic Deepwood Estate.

Bob Clay, AICP, (Biographer, Oregon Architect, William C. Knighton, 1864-1938), began studying the art and architecture of Oregon architect William C. Knighton more than 20 years ago. In 1985, Bob purchased a 1907 Arts and Crafts home designed by Knighton, located in the Kings Hill neighborhood of Portland.

In 1987 the home was designation on the National Register of Historic Places. Bob was also instrumental working with neighbors to create the Kings Hill National Historic District in 1991.

When Bob learned how little was known about Knighton’s importance to Oregon’s architectural heritage, he set out to unveil this work. Using online digitized database archives, historic photos and interviews, he strives to bring Knighton’s legacy alive.

The extensive research of Knighton’s work reveals an era of handmade buildings whose craftsmanship and lasting beauty was achieved by Oregon’s finest carpenters, masons, and stain glass artists. He uses Knighton’s legacy as a window into Oregon history and the building boom that followed the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition.

All Heritage Talks are free. Seating is limited, so reservations are recommended.

Historic Deepwood Estate is located at 1116 Mission Street SE, Salem.

Free parking at 12th and Lee Streets.

Studio 3 Architecture was retained to assist in the design and development of the new Boy’s Dormitory for the Oregon School for the Deaf.

The project coined as Phase I consists of 8 beds and a common area that includes study areas, living, games, office and a kitchen. The project was designed to easily allow future additions up to 48 beds total. The project was featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover program.

Built in a week, the project is LEED Gold certified and features many sustainable features. An eco-roof covers a portion of the roof and solar panels provide up to 30% of the buildings electrical needs.

Sustainable and recycled materials were used throughout the building, including reclaimed wood, cork flooring, and furniture built by volunteers.

Studio 3 Architecture provides professional design services for a variety of project types including Commercial, Retail, Medical, Single and Multi Family Residential, Civic, Religious, and mixed-use buildings. From minor remodels through new construction projects, we provide a broad range of professional design services tailored to your project needs. We support the professional mission of the AIA as well as sustainable design objectives.

Arbuckle Costic Architects uses Revit Architectural Suite for 3-D drawing and modeling along with the traditional AutoCAD. Our office has made a commitment to developing drawing ‘models’ for our building projects that can then be transitioned into 3-D views. The development of more complex projects often requires the full use of BIM (building information modeling) to handle the coordination of all of the subsystems within the building projects. 3-D animation views can be supplied on projects to assist in the understanding of complex design problems and the corresponding solutions.

Forging relationships in the development of our projects is at the core of our design practice. Our Owner/Architect relationships assist in providing enhanced design solutions to our clients’ specific needs. We listen and thoroughly represent our clients in all aspects of the design process.
