Works Progress Architecture (W.PA) has over 18 years of experience working in transitioning neighborhoods and communities: amplifying growth and creating dense, livable mixed-use environments. We practice architecture with a method that works outside the limits of a traditional service firm. W.PA is 100% woman-owned and a majority woman-staffed studio.

W.PA advocates for the importance of provocative, modern designs that complement the existing urban fabric within industrial districts and enhance the quality of the local community. We believe that infill and restoration of city fabric is a way to create truly sustainable cities. With our extensive experience working in industrial-district private development, we equip clients with concise, provocative, and financially feasible solutions.

W.PA draws from the expertise and enthusiasm of a group of passionate, talented, and conscientious architects. With studios in Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles, California our staff of 24 members collaborate to find responsive, nimble and clever solutions.
