Harka Architecture

Harka Architecture, LLC is a Portland, Oregon architecture firm whose work spans homes, accessory dwellings, middle housing, community buildings, commercial and retail space, and cannabis. Its site lists two Portland addresses, one on SE Washington Street and one on NE Glisan Street. The cannabis services page cites 25 years as a commercial architect, 18 years of sustainable and low-carbon design work and 12 years of personal experience growing medical cannabis, and says the firm permitted the very first recreational cultivation facility in Oregon. The site does not give a founding year.

Its cannabis portfolio includes Canna Bros dispensaries in Albany and Amity, a Cookies store for Rooted Therapeutics, Fine Fettle, Good Titrations and Five Zero Trees dispensaries on Division Street and in Astoria. For the Albany store, a wooden screen wraps the glass front so the building reads from Pacific Highway and glows at night. Harka designs and permits new cannabis buildings, retrofits existing ones, takes over stalled projects and offers design consultation to operators that already have a local architect. Its staff are Certified Energy Managers, and it pitches energy and carbon reduction for grow operations.

Retail clients can choose a design consultation, in which Harka advises a local architect of record, or full design services; the firm does not publish fees. It also offers general coaching through design and permitting. Its named cannabis work is in Oregon, and it lists marijuana grows as a portfolio category without published projects, so cultivation clients should ask for examples directly. Clients reach the firm through the contact page, and its blog covers energy use, AI demand on the Oregon grid and sustainable building materials.
