HWCD Associates’ head office was based in London. However, we are now trying to expand our business in Chinese market so we moved to Shanghai since ten years ago. We offer a wide range of design services: from urban design to mix-use; from luxury hotels to high-end residential projects; from concept to construction drawings.
HWCD Associates has always been guided by a belief that the quality of our surroundings has a direct influence on the quality of our lives, whether that is in the workplace, at home or in the public realm. Allied to that is an acknowledgement that architecture is generated by the needs of people - both material and spiritual - and a concern for the physical context and the culture and climate of place. Equally, excellence of design and its successful execution are central to our approach.
We believe the best architecture comes from a synthesis of all the elements that separately comprise and inform the character of a building: the structure that holds it up; the services that allow it to function; its ecology; the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of the building to the skyline or the streetscape; the way you move through or around it; and last but not least its ability to lift the spirits. This holistic approach is augmented by a strong commitment to the clients we serve, and also to the public domain and the many users involved. A high degree of personal service, coupled with respect for the precious resources of cost and time, therefore characterises our client relationships.
At present, HWCD Associates cooperate with many top developers and local governments. With a new round of rapid growth, we have recently moved to new premises. We provide premier quality service to our clients just as before and will never stop to improve it through our positive and impressive attitude.
