Brent

Architect/Co-Owner

Born and raised in small-town Iowa, Brent Stuntzner got his initial construction experience while working in Antarctica for the National Science Foundation. After returning from The Ice, Brent continued to hone his construction skills, eventually becoming a licensed and bonded residential carpentry contractor. The main goal of his sole proprietorship was to work closely with homeowners and general contractors alike, helping ideas and dreams take form.

Nowadays his hammer mostly collects dust, but his 20+ years of experience as a carpenter and small business owner informs everything he does at Percipient Architecture. Looking for a new challenge, Brent earned his Master’s degree in architecture in 2009 from the University of Oregon, worked for several architecture firms in Eugene and Salem, and eventually formed Percipient Architecture, LLC where he combines his experience in construction with his love of design. Unlike many urban architects, Brent uses his small-town roots and diverse background to offer clients a unique collaboration to bring their ideas to life.

Pamela

Architect/Co-Owner

Moving from Overland Park, Kansas to Cassville, Missouri during influential teenage years, Pamela Triplett became interested in the convergence of “environment” and “community”. Later, she received an introduction to the field of architecture through a family friend who was a professional home designer. Through that association, Pam developed a deep interest in the communion that exists between humans and their habitats, both natural and built. It was this interest that placed Pam on the path of studying architecture as a profession.

Pursuing her passion, Pamela graduated from Hammons School of Architecture, Drury University in Springfield, Missouri with B. Arch degree and later moved to the Willamette Valley. Throughout Pam’s professional career, those early lessons have continued to guide her; manifesting in the singular focus of creating architectural environments that help people function both efficiently and comfortably. In addition, Pamela has discovered that the process of collaborating and building “community” is what keeps her energized and excited about the practice of architecture.

As an Oregon licensed architect with thirty-plus years of experience in the design, regulatory and construction arenas, Pam firmly believes that people from all walks of life benefit from conscientious design, not to mention the larger “industry” of architecture. Ranging from the economic well-being of a community to the enjoyment and safety of the immediate built environment, the impact of architecture is enormous, multi-faceted, and tangible. Pamela engages work with the intention to make a positive impact by improving our surroundings.
