How We Work
We work closely with our clients as well as specialist consultants to ensure that projects are exemplary; for example we have over several years worked closely with Hugo Light Design, as light (natural and artificial) is core to creating ambience, drama and bringing the architecture to life.
Our architectural work focuses on developing bespoke contemporary solutions and aims to fuse light, colour and materials to create unique spaces.
Urban design and transport projects focus on urban and social integration and the development of sustainable solutions that help cities tackle climate change mitigation and biodiversity loss and the creation of place for people in the city.

Testimonial
When presented with a GWA design we have come to expect an understandable language through their passion for outstanding design. Their design principles create a flow of light, space and choice materials enabling us as lighting designers to compliment this language through a greater understanding of the architecture and great communication between the disciplines. It is a pleasure working with GWA and we have achieved what we see as some of our best work working with them over the past 6 years and we look forward to working with them on projects in the future
