WW+P and SvN merge with collective vision to become world leader in urban planning and design
We're delighted to announce our merger with SvN Architects + Planners, unifying our diverse teams of architects, urban planners, urban designers and landscape architects into a global powerhouse of expertise and delivery for complex urban projects.
Driven by a collective vision and expertise, the unification of WW+P and SvN Architects + Planners will set a new standard, globally, for a regenerative approach to architecture, planning, and urban design. Boasting a project portfolio that spans across continents, we will integrate planning, urban design, landscape, and architecture to deliver projects that are people-focused, inventive, and responsible.
Both award-winning practices boast experience in transit-oriented development, transport infrastructure and more, making the partnership a natural evolution of our joint offerings. By coming together, we will support and empower clients to be ambitious – leading the next chapter in regenerative design thinking.
We merge with 12 combined global studios adopting the name and branding of WW+P, under the stewardship of 10N Collective, a collective of urbanism, architecture and related design experts brought together by Egis Group.
WW+P’s partnership with SvN was a natural fit from the offset. Together, we can drive forward a collective vision with a more amplified voice, delivering projects that create meaningful urban transformation for the greater good.
This merger represents the coming together of two brands to create a global practice that builds better cities, smarter infrastructure, and more inclusive communities. Partners want confidence. Cities need leadership. We offer both: with a brand that stands for quality, innovation, and bold ideas.Ali Mowahed, CEO, WW+P
The DNA of both practices is remarkably similar. Both practices place a unique value on listening, meaningful consultation, and a deep understanding of history and context; both practices share a capacity for design innovation; and both practices have a total commitment to a regenerative, deeply sustainable, approach to planning and architecture.
The merger of our two practices stands to create something that is truly unprecedented in the global community of design practices: a firm that will create a measurable change in the way infrastructure and housing can support a greener and more equitable future.Drew Sinclair, Managing Principal, SvN / Executive Director, WW+P
