ON THE BOARDS - HOME EDITION
We at Waechter Architecture wanted to reach out to connect with our clients, consultants, and community in these unparalleled times. We feel truly fortunate to be able to keep our business operational during this ever-evolving period. To keep everyone safe, out entire staff is working remotely and our days are now filled with virtual conference calls and zoom happy hours. From each of our homes, we plan to continue collaborating, supporting, and serving our clients. As we've settled into working from our homes, what better time to share an update on a few of our house projects underway!
