Wayback Architects is an architectural and design studio, known for its refined, thoughtful approach to creating exceptional spaces. With a legacy built on years of friendship between founders Stephen van der Meer and Jordan Winters, the firm blends sophisticated design with a respect for craftsmanship, history and context. Our collaborative team specializes in residential and commercial projects, bringing a unique combination of technical expertise, artistic vision, and a genuine commitment to quality.

At Wayback Architects, we work closely with our clients, builders, and design partners throughout every phase, from initial concept to final realization. This close collaboration ensures that each project is not only a reflection of our client’s vision but also a celebration of materials and architectural form.

We believe architecture should be layered, thoughtful, and engaging. From residential to commercial projects, each design begins with a careful understanding of the site, program, and context, resulting in spaces that are both functional and inspiring.

Our work spans a diverse range of projects, from new construction, restoring and preserving historic buildings to creating modern, sustainable designs. What unites all of our work is a commitment to creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional, enriching the lives of those who inhabit them.
