WHO WE ARE
At WPA, we specialize in Architecture and Interior Design. Our firm’s discipline expertise lies in Historic Renovation, Adaptive Reuse, New Construction, and Interior Design. While we are most well-known for multi-family projects, we provide much more than that — including work on commercial spaces, high-end modern residences, and restaurants.  Our main focus is enriching the Richmond market, but we also have an extensive portfolio throughout Virginia, the Carolinas, and Oklahoma.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that thoughtful design fosters positive change in our communities. We believe in coloring outside the lines; creatively working through challenges throughout the design process. Most of all, we believe that a strong culture of collaboration is at the heart of who we are as a firm. 

WHY WPA?
At WPA, we know work isn’t only about who you work for; it’s also about what you do and how you do it. Led by the strength of our values and a culture shaped by collaboration across disciplines, we build on each other’s ideas, and work together to make great things possible.
