Framework is a mixed-use building that is planned for construction in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. The building will be located in the Pearl District neighborhood. Designed by Lever Architecture, it will be the tallest timber building in North America, and has also been called the "nation's first high-rise building made of wood".

The Framework building was designed by architect Thomas Robinson. The timber material being used for the building is cross laminated timber (CLT). The architecture firm will be sourcing CLT from D.R. Johnson Lumber Company from Riddle, Oregon. The building's number of stories has been given both as 12 and as 11. Construction is expected to begin in fall 2017.

The mixed-use building will provide office space on floors 2–6 and affordable housing will be placed on floors 7–11.

The project team won a $1.5 million grant from the USDA in September 2015 for participating in the Tall Wood Building Prize Competition.

The design phase included extensive fire, structural and acoustic testing. Building assemblies tested during this phase met the requirements of the Oregon Building Codes Division. Framework was approved by the Portland Design Commission in September 2016, and the construction permit for the project was approved by the state's Building Codes Division on June 6, 2017.
