Nike Factory Outlet Store
Portland, OR

Nike Inc. was looking for a dramatic building to house its new factory outlet store in Portland, Oregon. The brick, metal panels and glass provide an exterior drama, especially at night, when the glass façade acts as a beacon for pedestrians. This was the company's second stand-alone factory store and will serve as the model for future factory stores. The structure has a tapered building section, which allows for large storage space, and presents a lower, friendlier street frontage. This arrangement provides a lively shopping environment
