Nathan Day

Nathan’s approach to architecture is rooted in a legacy of makers, builders, and entrepreneurs that stretches back generations in Oregon. Carrying that spirit forward, he brings a hands-on understanding of building—shaped by owning a small business and constructing his own home—into every project he touches.

At Hacker, Nathan pairs intuitive design thinking with a pragmatic mindset, balancing creative vision with constructability and performance. He is particularly drawn to mass timber and natural building systems, where innovation and material expression intersect with environmental responsibility.

Nathan’s work reflects a belief that good architecture should feel both thoughtful and grounded. Whether navigating complex project demands or refining technical details, he focuses on delivering solutions that are clear, buildable, and deeply connected to place—bringing care, precision, and a collaborative spirit to each stage of the process.
