Koppe Wagoner Architects is a firm founded on the combined forty-five years experience of Bob Wagoner and John Koppe completing publicly visible community projects in the Northwest. Historic Preservation design and planning has been a focus of the firm’s principals for the past three decades in the Pacific Northwest. The firm’s expertise includes community based public projects in the areas of library facilities, community centers, conference centers, college and university facilities and day care centers.
With thirty years experience, Bob Wagoner has focused on historic preservation and has completed over forty projects on Federal or local historic registers. Bob Wagoner has served on the Pioneer Square Historic Preservation Board for five years and is a past mayoral appointed member of the Pioneer Square Preservation Board in Seattle.
