OWNER / PRINCIPAL
My Story
I am Jannel Waldron, an architect working out of Portland, Oregon. I spent the early years of my architecture career working in Arizona, my home state, learning how to design in extreme climates with, admittedly, beautiful landscapes.
I found a love for the outdoors there, exploring my world with my geologist husband via any outlet we could find: hiking, camping, backpacking, trail running and mountain biking.
We brought that exploratory mindset with us to the Pacific Northwest well over a decade ago, finding new love in a more forgiving and equally beautiful climate and haven’t turned back.
Post-Covid brought new perspectives to multiple aspects of my life, including welcoming our daughter in 2020, starting my own practice in 2023 and focusing on thoughtfully giving back to the outdoor community and those places that we love.

Modern, Get-Away Cabin
for the Outdoor Enthusiast
Looking for a sustainable get-away cabin in the woods that fits your gear needs as a mountain biker, hiker or adventurer?
As an architect and mountain biker, I want to help design spaces that align a modern design aesthetic with the logistical needs of traveling with gear.
What I often end up with when adventure traveling is a muddy mess of bulky equipment piled in whatever open floor space is available. What if that could all be easily stashed away as soon as you roll in the door? With access to shower and laundry and storage that actually fits your bulky gear and is in a secure location?
Small, thoughtful footprints and sustainable design of these spaces are critical to protecting the places we love to explore.
Bike-Friendly Lodging + Services
supporting Rural Communities
ADUs + Major Home Additions
for the Modern, Adapting Homeowner
Looking to expand your home for a growing family, aging parents, work-from-home needs, adventuring gear storage or all of the above?
I focus on modern designs that meet your needs, specifically. We discuss your overall goals and then I help to clarify exactly what types of spaces will fit those needs and provide the adaptability you might be looking for.
I try to optimize opportunities for storage space and flexible uses. I believe the return on investment of a thoughtfully-design space is huge. I aim to share those visions with you from our first meeting. I look forward to talking with you!
