All images property of Skylab
Situated in an existing, nondescript, four-story 1980s-era building in Northwest Portland, Skylab designed the new American flagship retail and headquarters for innovative Japanese outdoor brand Snow Peak. The design is based upon three driving principles: enter the outdoors and leave the city behind, build a new language both deeply Japanese and of the Pacific Northwest, and provide strong community-building experiences. Drawing on these principles, a diverse program of retail, showroom, office space, event space, restaurant, and outdoor spaces were designed to provide ample moments to gather together around food, art, home, and nature—the core values of the Snow Peak brand.
