Anne Marie Zuercher Mathras, she/her
Architect Candidate, NCARB
After graduating with a Master of Architecture degree, it only took a few years for Anne to find her home in Portland, Oregon. Anne began at SERA design to gain experience in sustainable design and construction as well as contribute to cooperative business practices. Anne first focused on Multi-family housing projects, developing skills in schematic design work, permitting and code, modeling and documentation. She then spent time collaboratively forming and working within the Workplace Studio at SERA. She advanced her presentation and client relation skills, eventually taking the firm’s first major Workplace Studio project through construction administration. Identifying a desire to gain more construction expertise while transitioning to projects of a smaller scale, Anne went on to work with the build team at Green Hammer. She helped manage both residential and commercial projects from design through construction, gaining specialized construction expertise. She worked closely with clients and team members, consultants and subcontractors. Recently, Anne has spent time focusing on personal endeavors, including designing and renovating her own home in SE Portland. Anne is looking forward to returning to a collaborative work environment, and eagerly anticipates her next design pursuit.
