Jeff Kovel

Jeff Kovel is the founder and primary creative force behind Skylab in Portland, Oregon. Kovel has been a leading creative force in the dramatic evolution of Portland over the last two decades and his work can be found in wildly different contexts. He has the experience, the expertise and the clarity of thought. He leads the design on projects and works side-by-side, collaborating with clients to help translate their personal vision to a shared, lasting success. He has made his mark at both street level in the city’s oldest neighborhoods and across the city’s nascent skyline. His architectural vision and creative curiosity is diverse, spanning residential, commercial, civic, retail, prefab, museum exhibitions and athletic venues. With Kovel there has always been a focus on a fresh approach — thinking smarter about materials, site, and the natural world to make iconic and lasting work.
