Created in partnership with Chef Cathy Whims, barman Ryan Magarian, and SSP America, this locally inspired spot was named Best New Food & Beverage Full-Service Concept by Airports Council International - North America and Best New Local Concept Representing Sense of Place by the The Airport F&B + Hospitality Conference & Awards (FAB). From hand-stretched sourdough pizzas to cocktails with names like “Pineapple Trainwreck”, every detail was designed to feel like your dining in a local neighborhood. It's personable, thoughtful, and full of flavor which is exactly what airport dining should be. Congratulations to the whole team for creating an experience that reflects the creativity, warmth, and sense of place that travelers love about PDX.

Oregon's building something different, and mass timber is at the center of it all. The Oregon Mass Timber Innovation Engine, led by the University of Oregon, was just named a semifinalist in a national program from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The goal? Support rural jobs, improve forest health, and create new ways to build housing that’s faster and more efficient. We’ve seen what’s possible. From the new wooden roof at PDX to the work underway at our Mass Timber and Housing Innovation Campus at Terminal 2, the Port of Portland is excited to be among the regional partners shaping the next chapter in Oregon’s timber story.

🎧 Episode Teaser — Coming Soon with Vince Granato from the Port of Portland In March, we visited the Portland International Airport (PDX) during the International Mass Timber Conference. (amazing conference organised by Arnie Didier, Clifford (Craig) Rawlings, Paul Toussaint and others) The roof structure is the largest timber roof structure ever built for an airport, part of a $2.15 billion transformation of Oregon’s biggest public infrastructure project to date. We invited Vince Granato, Chief Projects Officer at the Port of Portland, to tell the full story in the High Point podcast (Atelier Crescendo's podcast). — and he said yes without hesitation! In this upcoming episode, we talk about: 🌲 Why timber? How a sustainable, regional supply chain — including tribal forests — made it possible 🏗️ Building a 9-acre modular timber roof off-site and installing it above an active terminal 🌀 Designing for seismic resilience, long-term flexibility, and future-proofing air travel 🧭 And how pride, local identity, and “doing things differently” are embedded in every design decision 🎙️ It’s an honest, inspiring conversation about innovation at scale — and what it means to design infrastructure with purpose. 🔜 Stay tuned — Episode 45 drops soon.
