At Winterbrook Planning, we help communities, developers, and agencies throughout Oregon and beyond make smart, sustainable land use decisions. But the mark of a great planner? They apply those same principles at home.

Our team recently took on a unique challenge: rethinking our own office layout. Using scale drawings and our team’s innate problem-solving skills, we approached the task just like any of our planning projects—analyzing how natural light, acoustics, and circulation patterns influence day-to-day functionality and well-being.

We considered both individual work styles and the collective goals of our team. The process revealed something essential: great planning isn’t just about regulations or reports—it’s about people, space, and how we connect.

This internal project reflects the same thoughtful approach we bring to every Oregon land use challenge we take on—whether we’re guiding a comprehensive plan, navigating a complex land use permit, or determining where to put the office coffee station. Winterbrook Planning brings strategic thinking, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset to every project.
