About the practice

OW•A is an architecture practice that places importance on building resourcefully, with a deep appreciate of identity and place. We’re interested in the stories of our Clients, and ways we can weave their values into the character of the buildings we design for them. We adapt, extend, and remodel buildings to create memorable spaces that stand the test of time. Working in scale from small gardens, adaptations to homes and historic buildings to disused industrial landscapes, we create a collaborative environment which draws out outcomes that are a product of people, place and architecture all at once. We were shortlisted for the Architects Journal Small Project Award in 2017.
