Waechter Architecture

the organization of the Mississippi project creates distinct zones for programs and services. The building is comprised of six equal rooms, stacked in three tiers on each side of a shared courtyard. These clear span volumes are proportioned to accommodate a range of uses and may be outfitted for autonomous use, or as an ensemble with other units.

Indoor and outdoor living shouldn't feel like two separate experiences. Across our work, from the outdoor rooms at the Society Hotel to the alleyway at Milwaukie Way, we design with that connection in mind: a door opening a kitchen to a garden, a porch blurring where the building ends and the landscape begins.

It's a value we keep returning to: architecture that doesn't simply frame a view, but invites you to live within it.

In our Mississippi office, work unfolds within the structure itself. Morning light moves across the CLT surfaces. Conversations gather around shared tables. Materials age, collect traces, and become part of the story.

We spend a significant part of our lives at work. The spaces we occupy each day should support focus, collaboration, and moments of pause. They should feel grounded, generous, and connected to the people who use them.

Good workplaces are not just efficient. They are places people want to return to.

A new multifamily project is underway on the Oregon coast. Dense fir, coastal scrub, and glimpses of the Pacific set the tone for what's ahead. More to come!
