WORKS Architecture is a collective of fearless design leaders committed to pushing the boundaries of conventional architecture with award-winning, innovative building practices. 

From spearheading the broader use of mass-timber in Oregon and California, and designing the first high-rise in Los Angeles’ Arts District, we help our clients realize the full range of possibilities for their developments.

We lead with bold ideas.

Proudly 100% woman-owned and majority women-staffed, our approach to design embraces a collaborative leadership style, drawing on the expertise of our diverse studio comprised of established and emerging voices. We believe truly exceptional design is achieved by encompassing various viewpoints.

Earning more than 60 design awards since Principal Carrie Strickland founded the practice in 2005, our wide spectrum of project types have been internationally-recognized for their dedication to their craft.

We don’t just design buildings—we create architecture that WORKS.

Principal: Carrie Strickland, FAIA, NCARB
