About Us

What began back in 1949 in a Phoenix garage as Weaver & Drover Architects has evolved over 60 years to become DWL Architects + Planners, Inc. as one of Arizona’s most dynamic and respected locally-owned architecture firms, DWL has established itself as the leader in solid, loyal client relationships, strong design stewardship, and the expectation that our materials, systems and processes always create enduring and timeless architecture.

At DWL, our work environment is one of true collaboration. The Team is led by seven principals with a combined 140 years of experience at the firm, who in turn are supported by a team of highly accomplished architects, designers, and LEED Accredited Professionals.

About Our Projects

DWL has been fortunate to participate in some of the most complex and architecturally significant projects recognized locally, nationally and internationally. Our specialization in airports, transportation, education, cultural, historic, health/science and civic design has produced outstanding examples of each building type.

 

We strive to design sustainable buildings that are cost-effective in initial expense, long-term maintenance and operation. DWL believes it is important to use local materials and labor to reduce transportation costs and instill local pride. We place an emphasis on the mission and purpose of the building in ways that send a message of the project’s importance. We focus on maximum efficiency and multiple use of spaces without reducing the optimal spatial qualities of each function. Our designs provide enhanced flexibility for short-term use and long-term adaptability.
