Our Mission

Improving the Quality of Life Through Design

LWDA is a passionate group of professionals who believe the power of design can improve the quality of life in the communities where we live and work. 

Quality Design, Service, Innovation, Teamwork, and Sound Business are the foundation of our success.  We are a client-centric firm led by working principals dedicated to design excellence.

Who We Are

Visionaries, Designers, Advisors, and Managers

As a full-service design firm comprised of architects, interior designers, landscape architects and planners, we each bring specialized skills and knowledge to the firm’s collaborative design style.  Our modest size--just over 30 employees- belies the depth and breadth of the service we offer in planning, design, and project management.  

Our experienced working principals, collaborative style, proactive approach and interactive Client / Architect Virtual Design Process allows us to creatively and innovatively design projects that respond to client needs.  Foremost to our clients we are Visionaries, Advisors, Designers, and Managers.

Our Approach

A Partnership Between the Client and Architect Built of Confidence and Trust

Your goals are our goals.  We know how to listen.  We leave our egos at the door.  Our client-centric approach creates confidence and trust, leading to long-term relationships that we value.  As a result, our project portfolio is diverse and complex:

Our Clients

We work across

5 Industries and

5 Cultures

We have learned that design can change a business and change a culture.  Our diverse clientele allows us to leverage our broad knowledge across multiple specialties.  Lessons learned on access and accessibility from senior care, for example, inform the design of patient rooms in acute care hospitals.

LWDA’s portfolio covers the complete continuum of care including Master Planning, Medical Office Buildings, Ambulatory, Acute Care, Rehabilitation, Long Term Care, and Senior Living.  Over the past 25 years, Levi + Wong Design projects encompass over 15 Acute Care Hospitals, 10 Specialty Care Hospitals, 150 Senior Care / Living facilities, and 30 Corporate and Technology facilities totaling over $750M construction cost.  

Management

The Whole Project

Our quality BIM-based construction documents produce more accurate bidding.  The project timeline is shortened with fewer rounds of contractor negotiations and faster approvals.  Projects don’t spiral out of control.  Value-added services include evaluation of construction managers, advice on value engineering, initiation and management of the approvals process, and project close-out.  We believe the architect is ideally suited to provide project management for small and medium sized jobs.

We believe that working in an open partnership based on experience and trust will produce a project that is appropriate, creative, and will result in a positive outcome that creates real value for all parties.
