Holst Architecture has completed the design of family-owned beverage distribution company Maletis Beverage located in Portland, Oregon.
The renovation of Maletis Beverage on a 9-acre Swan Island property in Portland, began as an extensive redesign of their administrative offices. Over the course of the project, our scope expanded to include a cold storage warehouse addition, extensive landscaping, and site work.
Maletis had been working in their existing offices since 1993. The spaces were outdated, disjointed, and cramped—and not reflective of the company’s long history of local industry leadership and continued growth. They wanted to bring focus and organization to their diverse range of work spaces, an inefficient mix of public and private uses with intermingled, ill-defined departments all on one floor. Because of this mix, the public would often wander into private areas. Maletis wanted showpiece spaces that would continue to attract local and craft brewers and expand their reach into other markets, like cider and wine.
