GWWO Architects is an award-winning architectural practice focused on client service and design excellence. A full-service fi ... rm located in Baltimore, Maryland, we specialize in providing services for cultural and educational facilities with an emphasis on responsible design that is inspirational, evocative, and progressive. Our experience spans more than forty years and includes projects throughout the United States and its territories. GWWO practices story-based design which is the focused, in-depth exploration of a project's context—cultural, historical, and physical. Our work is driven by a consistent philosophical approach, rather than a predetermined style. Our philosophy is founded in the exploration of the relationships between narrative and context. The firm's size lends itself to a "hands-on" atmosphere in which the principals are deeply involved in client service and project management. We offer a broad array of expanded services that are tailored to the individual needs of each client. We can assist from the first conceptual stages of development through final design and construction. GWWO's portfolio includes numerous museums, interpretive centers, nature centers, visitor and education centers, higher education, and K-12 projects. read more
