Operating from a 10,000-square-foot design studio at West Patrick Lane, the 34-member team at YWS Architects includes eight licensed architects, with an additional five who are in the process of obtaining their licenses.
Drawing on years of experience and many diverse projects of varying scope, YWS Architects has developed a sophisticated response to market demands, land utilization, operational efficiency and construction costs. Past projects prove that good design can improve the clients’ bottom line.
In addition to paying close attention to the visual details, YWS Architects is also interested in the functional and financial performance of a building. The company attributes its success to an emphasis on client service, evident from the repeat clientele and the frequent referrals.
