YBA Architects is a full-service architecture, planning and interior design practice based in Portland, Oregon and engaged in projects worldwide. YBA designs new buildings and places in existing urban environments that sensitively apprehend and add to their character and yield exceptional value. Our work includes multi-story urban infill buildings on existing blocks, buildings that occupy entire blocks and urban master plans comprising entire areas of cities. YBA is known for catalytic urban regeneration projects featuring richly programmed urban design with an emphasis on community gathering, pedestrian access, local entrepreneurship and inclusive design.

Notable projects include Rockwood Rising and Alta Civic Station in Gresham, OR, Q21 in Portland, OR and the Waterfront at Parker's Landing in Washougal, WA. YBA is skilled at engaging with communities and complex stakeholder groups to generate thoughtful, adaptable, responsive architecture. We strive to innovate responsibly and discover clever ways to maximize utilization and activation on urban sites of all sizes.
