Stash adopted a hybrid work style which allowed them to reduce the square footage of their office. They took it as an opportunity to move from Tigard back into Portland, where they first got their start 50 years ago. In addition to an open office that allowed for remote collaboration, they needed a robust R&D lab and an inviting retail cafe open to the public.

Back in Portland’s bustling city center, Stash’s new headquarters draws inspiration from the culture, architecture, and natural resources of the Pacific Northwest. Stash’s nature-inspired aesthetic, from the incorporation of planters and greenery to the eclectic light fixtures and detailed tile and upholstery stitching, fits with Portland’s character. Looking around, you see warm Douglas fir used throughout space, which evokes the serenity of nature in a built environment.
