Design with culture and community in mind
At WJW, we’re focused on creating real-world architecture that rises above what’s expected. We design purpose-built, intelligent buildings — the kind that solve problems, improve communities and invite everyone inside.
Design with culture and community in mind
Supporting a new model for affordable senior living
Historic reuse at the heart of a small town
Design that puts residents at the center
We believe that the built environment can change lives, and through wide-ranging work that includes family housing for veterans, mixed-use projects in rural communities, and research-informed design for dementia care, we’ve spent 30 years proving it.
Our work is powered by creativity, curiosity, and collaboration. We listen and ask questions that help us dig deep to find the answers that perfectly fit each WJW project, client, and surrounding community.
WJW recently organized field trips to two of our senior housing communities so that staff could observe how our designs work in day-to-day operations.
