Hi, we are Tony and Jordan of TJ’s Dwellings. We love building, creating and making. In our previous lives we worked in advertising but stronger passions for design, woodwork and crafting lead us to start a small business doing things we love to do. We've been converting vehicles since 2021 and most recently have started working on home remodel projects.

We are lovers of the outdoors and nature which is why we started converting vans in the first place. We lived and traveled in the first van we converted and we realized how our modern lives are built to keep us away from nature, restricting when we can and can’t explore and distracting us from what is really important - how we spend our time, whom we spend it with, and how we impact our planet.

Through our experience creating homes in such small spaces, we’ve learned a tremendous amount about spatial planning and functional design. Our goal is to help our clients live more simply and more beautifully so they can focus on the things that really matter in life. We are inspired and driven by the outdoors and the persistent urge to rethink, redesign and reuse.

We practice deconstruction, material recovery, recycling, responsible sourcing, and repurposing of old materials, furniture and vehicles that have been left and forgotten. We are spoiled with amazing local reuse and thrift stores in the Portland, OR area and we love supporting and partnering with their missions on all of our projects. From tools, to materials, to furniture and fixtures, using locally sourced, renewable materials and shopping second-hand all play a huge role in our process. Working with clients whose values align with ours allows us to do greatly creative things.

Our work will always be catered uniquely to your needs and through our process, we’ll build a relationship that will outlast the project's completion. No project is too small, too big or too weird. From converting box trucks to full home remodels, to single room renovations, whatever the project, we are so excited to continue doing this work and serving the Pacific Northwest.

Outside of building and designing, we are also students of regenerative agriculture, working on a small farm and future u-pick orchard where our workshop is located. We love spending time with our loved ones, including all our animals! We have 2 dogs (Luna & Dante), 6 sheep (Gladys, Oreo, Sweet Pea, Cookie, Blackberry, Pie), and 15 chickens who are all named Jerry. As clients of ours, farm visits are always encouraged.

We hope to hear from you soon.
