Linden, Brown Architecture

is a collective of designers and makers based in Portland, Oregon. Drawn to the Pacific Northwest’s staggering landscapes and vibrant communities, we see the rich qualities of the natural environment as inspiration for built, architectural spaces. The places we build benefit from the legacy of design and craftsmanship of this place, whether in its historic culture of materiality or in the contemporary entrepreneurial culture of making.

L,BA was founded in 2018 by Chris Brown and Brent Linden, bringing together more than 35 years of collective effort towards architecture of the highest aspirations. Our work is responsive and resourceful, using an economy of means towards a maximum of meaning. We form lasting relationships with clients, builders, artists, and craftspeople, creating timeless places of shared experience. Our studio is a place of exploration, curiosity and wonder, finding the beauty and possibilities in every design.
