With our origins in Oregon, attention to craft and beauty is elemental to the ZGF culture. A deep respect for the built environment evolved from reverence for the surrounding natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest landscape and a commitment to stewardship of the natural environment. Rather than reflecting a signature style, our work is derived from the particulars of the climate, context, and the human experience. The instinct to build community, making places where people come together for a common purpose, is central to our work.
Evolving from a single office with strong regional roots to a firm with six offices across North America and 750+ staff, ZGF's national reputation was honored with the American Institute of Architects' Architecture Firm Award, recognizing the firm’s “high standards, humanistic concerns, and unique ability to capture the spirit of a place and the aspirations of its inhabitants.”

Hoffman Construction Company & Skanska USA teamed up to create the Hoffman Skanska Joint Venture to construct the PDX-NEXT Remodel. With annual travelers expected to climb to 33 million by 2045, the Terminal Core Redevelopment project is a vital expansion that ensures PDX will be able to serve the community well into the future.
The renovated passenger entry terminal will double the size of the current ticketing and lobby area when it opens in 2025. They will install a new 9-acre large-span roofing system over the entire terminal core complex, build a 150-foot multi-floor addition between Concourses C and D, and add new pre- & post-security concessions. Gate count is critical for PDX operation, so the team must coordinate with each airline to replace one bridge at a time.
In addition, Hoffman is rebuilding and enlarging Concourse B to include six new gates for Alaska Airlines with floor-to-ceiling windows, new Portland-centric food vendors, and replacing 16 aging passenger boarding bridges plus equipment throughout the PDX concourses.

Timberlab (formerly known as Swinerton Mass Timber) came onto the project in 2019 in a design-assist role to ensure the design of the mass timber roof structure could be manufactured and procured from regional timber manufacturers – sustainably and cost-effectively. With the support Sustainable Northwest Wood, the project team pioneered transparent, targeted wood sourcing on a large scale, from the landowner to the sawmill, to the laminator.
As this project continues to push boundaries for wood innovation, Timberlab is a vital partner in helping the Port of Portland achieve its vision and enhancing the flying experience of every passenger at PDX. Upon completion in 2025, the Portland International Airport will continue its excellence as "America's Best Airport".
