MISSION

I've been incredibly fortunate in my life to be surrounded by people who make, teach, inspire, and explore new ways of doing things. As an architect I feel that I have some responsibility to pay all of that forward.

I work with makers and doers, artists and historians, to create innovative new designs. My number one goal is to help my clients promote their ideas and tell their stories through the built environment. Whether it's an installation, a new business space, a new living space, or even a project as big as a national memorial, I've got you covered.

JOE WEISHAAR is a registered architect practicing in Atlanta, Georgia at Smith Dalia Architects. A relative newcomer to the architecture profession, Joe is quickly expanding his horizons with nationally and internationally recognized work. Most notably, in 2015 his design was selected out of 365 international entries for the National WW1 Memorial in Washington, DC. In 2011 he placed second individually in the Lyceum Fellowship Competition sponsored by the Lyceum Fellowship of Boston. In 2010 he was a part of the team that completed the HABS/HABER documentation of the Fay and Gus Jones Residence, which garnered the Peterson Prize for historic documentation from the Library of Congress.

In 2016, Joe was named as one of Crain’s Chicago Business’ Emerging Voices as part of their 20 in their 20’s series and has been profiled in an array of media venues for his continued work on the National WWI Memorial. Joe has experience designing memorials, mixed-use developments, commercial build-outs, and single family residences.

Currently licensed to practice in the State of Georgia
