We are an award winning architectural design firm here for you

DWL Architects + Planners is a full service, client-focused architectural design firm. We have been fortunate to participate in some of the most complex and architecturally significant projects recognized locally, nationally, and internationally. DWL has a long history of creating ‘people places’—buildings and urban spaces that respond to function and human scale and emphasize user-friendly design solutions across multiple sectors: Aviation, Healthcare, Higher Education and Community. The diversity in our work enables us to bring fresh perspectives to every challenge in a collaborative environment with a commitment to sustainable solutions.

Aviation

Our projects at airports range in size, from municipal-operated general aviation facilities to large commercial and international service airports with a focus on the traveler’s experience. The goal with every aviation project is to create a space unique to its community and highly efficient.

Higher Education

Our expertise in creating spaces for students to learn, live and explore comes from our decades of projects ranging in size and complexity for academic campuses across the country.

Healthcare

Our process of redefining the facilities for healthcare comes from incorporating technology and aesthetics. As the delivery of healthcare is ever-evolving, we have responded with innovative solutions on a wide range of projects.

Community

Our focus on fulfilling the needs of local communities is evident in the projects we take on. Supporting the vision in creating different spaces for the arts, sports, cultures, and municipalities is what drives us.
