Waechter Architecture is a design studio based in Oregon, USA. We operate from our all-wood, mixed-use, mass timber building on Portland’s historic Mississippi Avenue. With an acclaimed portfolio across all project types, we’re believers in the potential of architecture to build community, elevate experience and awaken the senses.
