Most design projects get split across three vendors - an architect for the shell, an interior designer for the rooms, a landscape designer for the yard - and the seams show later, in a deck that doesn't line up with the sliding door or a planting bed that ignores the drainage plan. Drafting Buddies has provided architectural, interior, and landscape design services since 2014, and in Oregon we run all three as one coordinated design package, so what happens inside the walls, at the walls, and beyond them is planned against the same drawing set from day one.
Oregon's residential design market has shifted meaningfully since House Bill 2001 opened single-family lots to duplexes, triplexes, and cottage clusters, and separate state law now requires most cities to allow accessory dwelling units on existing lots. That's driven steady demand for ADU design, small-lot architecture, and the interior and outdoor space planning that makes a smaller footprint livable - work we handle daily for homeowners, builders, and infill developers across Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Bend.
On the landscape side, Oregon's growing conditions happen to be some of the best in the country - the state leads the nation in nursery production of coniferous evergreens and deciduous shade and flowering trees, and sold more nursery stock in 2024 than California, Florida, or Texas. We design landscapes that draw on that plant palette directly: native and drought-tolerant plantings, water-efficient irrigation, and outdoor living spaces suited to the Willamette Valley's mild, wet winters and dry summers, whether the project is a backyard renovation or a commercial site plan.
