Kyle Keirsey
Kyle Keirsey is the founding partner of Dacha Office, bringing over a decade of experience to his practice. He is dedicated to a collaborative process, working closely with clients to craft spaces that are an authentic reflection of their identities.
Raised between Texas and Georgia in a family of architects, Kyle Keirsey learned early on that design is a mindset, not just a profession.
He earned dual degrees in Architecture and Interior Architecture at Auburn University, where his time with the acclaimed Rural Studio allowed him to design and build for under-resourced communities. This experience grounded his practice in a drive for care, craft, and equity.
Before founding Dacha Office, Kyle honed his skills at ZGF, Best Practice Architecture, and SHED Architecture & Design. His portfolio spans corporate headquarters, custom residences, and restaurant and retail environments, with work featured in The New York Times, Dwell, The Local Project, and The Seattle Times.
Deeply embedded in the local design community, Kyle serves as Chief Marketing Director for Space.City, helping to bring global design voices to the Pacific Northwest.
Beyond the studio, you can find Kyle working on home projects, designing objects, or spending time with his husband Anton and their dog, Mishka.

Mishka
Mishka is a constant support in the studio, bringing a sense of spunk to the work day and keeping us high of spirit.
Mishka is our resident morale officer, known for his unwavering enthusiasm for new people, places, and projects. His greatest passion is “ball,” followed closely by supervising site walks and inspecting for treats. He brings joy, curiosity, and a touch of chaos to the team; exactly the energy any good design office needs.
