About Us

The Firm

Founded in 1997 and based in Vancouver, WGA has grown and evolved over the years, driven by a commitment to excellence and innovation. In 2018, the firm welcomed new partners: award-winning architect Martin Liew and Joe Hwang. Their leadership and vision have taken the firm to new heights, expanding its scope and embracing ambitious projects that align with emerging architectural trends.

The revitalized WGA brings together the complementary strengths of both partners. Martin Liew offers extensive experience in high-rise, mixed-use developments, and large-scale projects, while Joe Hwang brings deep knowledge of building codes, exceptional skills in creating high-quality working drawings, and expertise in efficient construction management. Together, they have fortified WGA’s reputation for delivering innovative architectural solutions.

Our Values and Vision

Sustainability and environmental responsibility are at the core of WGA’s values. From concept to completion, the firm integrates sustainable practices into every aspect of its projects. WGA is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint while delivering buildings that are not only environmentally responsible and socially conscious but also uphold the highest aesthetic standards.

Whether exploring innovative sustainable design methods or tapping into the advantages of mass timber construction, WGA is shaping the future of Metro Vancouver’s built environment with creativity, sustainability, and forward-thinking solutions.
