PAST & FUTURE

THEN & NOW

OUR PAST 

Founded in 1977 by Joseph O. Wong, JWDA Architects has built a legacy of trust and excellence in architecture and planning for nearly five decades. Known for delivering high-quality projects on time and within budget, we have cultivated enduring client relationships and received local, national, and international awards for design excellence. We have developed a diverse portfolio that spans public and private sectors, including master planning, residential communities, office and retail developments, academic campuses, and hotels/resorts.


It has been our ongoing aim to achieve a balance of commercial viability, iconic presence, urban integration, and cultural resonance. Our design solutions embody reasonable, yet unexpected ideas that harmonize development goals, functional needs, urban heritage, and aesthetic expression. Our commitment to quality and client satisfaction continues to shape our work today.

BUILDING THE FUTURE

As market leaders in urban projects our impact spans nearly 50 years, and we're just getting started. We continue to play a pivotal role in transforming urban landscapes, shaping communities, and fostering sustainable development. With each project we strive to push boundaries, innovate, and set new standards for urban excellence. Our commitment to creating vibrant spaces that inspire, connect, and thrive is unwavering, and we look forward to continuing to make a positive difference in the clients and communities we serve for many years to come.
