Orchard Residence / Steelhead Architecture
The Orchard Residence is located just outside Portland’s urban growth boundary on former farmland. The abundance of fruit trees on and around the site provided the project name.
Steelhead Architecture
Steelhead Architecture is a Portland-based architecture firm known for its regional modernist approach and commitment to high performance construction. Founded in 2010 by Gabriel (“Gabe”) Headrick, the studio works across residential, mixed-use, multi-family, and commercial projects. A specialty of theirs is designing spaces that balance aesthetics with sustainability, including breweries, pubs, and net-zero construction.
Their work stands out for integrating climatic responsiveness, material honesty, and innovative detailing, producing architecture that feels rooted in place yet forward-looking. Steelhead Architecture has built a reputation in the Pacific Northwest for thoughtful design that supports both environmental goals and the lived experience of its users.
