The historic Train Depot in Astoria is now the Barbey Maritime Center. The Columbia River Maritime Museum restored the original waiting rooms to become conference and exhibit space, while the baggage building has become the new boat building workshop.
“I work collaboratively with my clients, and the process begins with a clear understanding of what they want to accomplish. When possible, I bring the builder into the project early on. As I work closely with the builder and the client throughout the project, we'll inevitably uncover additional opportunities, and we incorporate those ideas along the way. I encourage the dialog to continue throughout the process — from design through construction. The result is a project that really fits the client and is one they can take ownership in.”
