ABOUT WOHA by Patrick Bingham-Hall, Publisher / Photographer

WOHA Architects was founded by Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell in 1994. Wong was born in 1962 and graduated from the National University of Singapore in 1989, whilst Hassell was born in 1966 and graduated from the University of Western Australia in 1989. WOHA’s earliest projects comprised a series of private houses and the Church of St Mary of the Angels in Singapore, which were well-publicised and received many awards. When the practice won the competitions for two MRT stations in 2000, WOHA moved on to larger scale projects, initially in Singapore, and then throughout the region.

These project types range from apartment towers to luxury resorts, mass-transit stations, condominiums, hotels, educational institutions, and public buildings. 1 Moulmein Rise, completed in 2003, was WOHA’s first high-rise tower and won the 2007 Aga Khan Award for Architecture. Subsequent apartment towers, such as Newton Suites in Singapore and The Met in Bangkok, Thailand, were also highly praised and awarded, and showed that WOHA’s approach to high-rise living in tropical cities was continually evolving. The Met won the 2010 International Highrise Award and the 2011 RIBA Lubetkin Prize, which was an unprecedented success for an Asian practice. WOHA demonstrate a commitment to the implementation of sustainable yet innovative architecture, and within each project, they conceptualise all aspects of the architectural process: master planning, formal architecture, interior design, landscaping, lighting and furniture design.

As an indication of WOHA’s versatility and growing global recognition, the practice won two titles in two consecutive years (in four separate categories) at the 2009 and 2010 World Architecture Festival. The practice currently has projects under construction in Singapore, China, India, Indonesia and Thailand. A traveling exhibition devoted exclusively to their work opened at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Germany, in December 2011, and three substantial monographs – WOHA: The Architecture of WOHA, WOHA: Selected Projects Vol. 1 and "WOHA: Breathing Architecture" – have already been published.

FOUNDERS

Wong Mun Summ formed WOHA as a partnership with Richard Hassell in 1994. Since then, the partnership has won a large number of local awards, and an unprecedented amount of international awards. WOHA won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2007, they collected two awards each at the 2011 and 2010 RIBA International Awards, as well as the prestigious 2011 Lubetkin Prize from the RIBA. WOHA released their second monograph, “WOHA Selected Projects Vol. 1” in 2011 by Pesaro Publishing, following their first monograph in 2009.  In 2006, an exhibition featuring WOHA’s work – entitled ‘More on Less – was held at the Aedes Gallery in Berlin. WOHA also staged a traveling solo exhibition at the acclaimed Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) in Frankfurt Germany in December 2011. A third monograph, "WOHA: Breathing Architecture" was published in conjunction with the exhibition.

Wong Mun Summ was born in 1962 and graduated with Honours from the National University of Singapore in 1989. He is a board member of the Singapore Land Authority and the Board of Architects' Design Panel. He was a board member of Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) from 1999 to 2005. He also served on the International Design Consultancy for the Waterfront at the Downtown at Marina Bay, and as a member of URA design advisory panels for such projects as the Singapore Sports Hub, the Marina Barrage, and the Integrated Resort at Marina Bay.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

WOHA is interested in creative solutions to the big issues that face all of us - how to build sustainably; how to create diverse and delightful environments; how the built environment can create and enhance a sense of community; how we can achieve density yet improve amenity; how do we make buildings meaningful and loved; what do we mean by a good building? WOHA continues research into these broad issues, while delivering specific crafted projects that incorporate the results of this speculative process into their fabric. WOHA's projects aim to be generous, improving the lot of the owner, the end user, the precinct, the city at large as well as the broader environment.

WOHA’s architecture is not based on any house style or set of solutions, but allows the architectural expression to emerge from the answers to these big questions. WOHA's architecture emerges from a profound awareness of local context and tradition, as well as an ongoing exploration of contemporary architectural forms and ideas, a unique fusion of deep connection and playful invention. Environmental principles have always been fundamental to WOHA’s designs, and are deeply embedded in the concept rather than a technological overlay.

WOHA believes good design must arise from this thoughtful process of study and research, which is combined with technical knowledge, social and political understanding, then synthesised through creative skill and artistic judgement. The unavoidable random and unforeseen events that occur in every project do not derail the process, rather they allow the possibility of adding richness and surprising solutions to the design. Robustness, attention to detail, proportions, and scale, together with common sense, stoicism, and a sense of humour ensure a completed project that is a step towards a better world.

SERVICES

WOHA is focused on integrated design for the built environment, encompassing a continuum through masterplanning, architectural, landscape, interior and lighting to furniture design. WOHA's particular focus is in innovation towards better futures, rather than specific building types. WOHA has won international awards in diverse categories, including education, institutional, transport, residential, interiors and hospitality.

WOHA has been involved in projects around the Asia Pacific region, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Australia and China.

The tropics is a unique climatic zone, where WOHA has particular expertise.

WOHA has upgraded to ISO: 9001:2008 (Quality Management System) and received certification for BS EN ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental Management Systems) in 2010.
