iBuildPdx COMPANY llc

Proud to be acknowledged for this amazing accomplishment.

We’re proud to share that Forbes has named William / Kaven Architecture to two 2026 lists: America’s Top 200 Residential Architects and America’s Best-In-State Residential Architects.

Both lists are the product of a rigorous review by a regionally diverse advisory board of experts on American residential architecture, who evaluated each candidate based on overall body of work, one exemplary project, and a set of guiding principles spanning siting, materials, spatial configuration, and environmental response.

In its writeup, Forbes described our homes as ones that “burrow into the landscape like grown-up treehouses, with breathtaking results.”

Congrats to all of the other firms on the lists — and thank you to the Forbes team, the Advisory Board, our clients, and the consultants, builders, and craftspeople who make our work possible.

We’re excited to be exhibiting at the 2026 Oregon Design Conference.

We’re looking forward to connecting with Oregon’s design community, exchanging ideas, and being part of the conversations shaping the future of design.

If you’ll be there, we’d love to connect. Join us at the Oregon Design Conference September 23 - 25 at the Hilton Downtown Portland. We hope to see you there!

We’re proud to be featured in @forbes this week as part of their America’s Top Architects series. W/K partner @danielkaven spoke with Deputy Editor Fred Albert about Skyview, our four-story residence on a tight corner lot in Northwest Portland. This is an example of a project where some of the most satisying solutions came from leaning into the site’s constraints rather than resisting them. The lot was narrow, the setbacks were strict, and our clients were coming from a much more expansive property in a wooded area. So we decided to flip the conventional residential stack, placing the main living areas and much of the landscaping at the top, 30 feet above the noise and power lines of the street below. “For more than two decades, Oregon’s William / Kaven Architecture has made a name for itself designing tranquil glass-walled houses that are so immersed in their setting that it’s hard to tell where the home ends and the natural world begins.” — Fred Albert, Forbes 🔗 Full feature at #linkinbio -— Skyview, Portland, Oregon, USA Architecture / Interiors: @williamkaven Builder: @ibuildpdx Civil Engineer: @kpff_pdx Structural Engineer: SCE Engineering Photography: @jeremybittermann / @jbsa.images #WilliamKaven #Forbes #AmericasTopArchitects #PortlandArchitecture
