WOMO Architects

How We Work

WOMO Architects believes in the power of quality design to shape experiences and change perspectives. It can surprise, delight, engage. Using an architectural lens as a starting point, our work creates signature additions to cities that will engage the public, unlock the potential of their sites, streets, and neighborhoods and address complex urban problems with achievable solutions. Our work is designed specifically to fit its location, spatially and culturally.

Our team’s approach to architecture is exploratory, open and pluralistic. We want people to visit, and revisit our buildings with the growing enthusiasm of always discovering something new. Cities, buildings, and even the smallest boutique spaces are memorable because they made us stop and notice something we didn’t realize was there the last time we saw it.

We have designed and delivered large-scale and small-scale projects from conception to completion. Our passion is to build great architecture and to help establish early concept ideas that can be delivered over any required time period. Our experience in realizing work enables us to provide focused, creative and attainable solutions from the start through to realization.  We approach our works with the following considerations :

 

Maximizing project impact through brief development to uncover hidden potential

WOMO Architects is a full service firm who will work with you to establish and execute the needs of your project. We have the capacity to work at every phase of a project, from exploring the first ideas of its potential through to the administration of its construction. We work through early explorations where we help you determine the brief and program of your project, through concept and schematic design, construction documents, planning submissions and approvals, through construction administration. We are positioned to work anywhere in the world and on any scale of project.

 
 
 

Human - centric design that benefits the community

Our design success is measured through the search for progressive differentiators that make each design outcome unique to improving the day-to-day lives of people in the communities we work with. We are always looking for clients who want to produce buildings with long term relevance and the potential to change user experience and even influence the quality of the larger neighbourhood or city.

 
 
 

Embracing climate action through environmentally conscious design

It is clear that the climate commitments launched globally will reshape the agenda for global business, and within cities and the building sector, our focus on adaptive reuse and future building resilience is going to be an important part of the equation. Within the architecture and real estate sector, we know that buildings that don’t meet the highest caliber of sustainability now are going to be considered stranded assets in two or three decades. We appreciate working together with clients who value high quality design and who like being part of this dialogue.
