southeast powell food carts - portland, oregon

Completed in early 2020. This site had outdated buildings that needed major renovation, but in this location, the owner wanted to incorporate a Portland staple: a food cart pod. Instead of completely demolishing the building, EMA preserved the structure to create a partly covered outdoor eating area. Some fresh paint to the beams and columns hides the secret of the original building slated for demo. Contemporary seating options and an assortment of food carts has turned this once outdated building into an enjoyable social gathering hot-spot along Powell.
