About us

We design to spark positive change, to improve our world and make it more beautiful.
By deploying a multi-perspective approach and imaginative design thinking, we develop inventive design solutions for complex projects. With passion and attention to detail we look beyond the conventional to create appealing sustainable architecture, precise detailing, and strong distinctive concepts.

At Welling Architects, we consider it our task to be conscious about our designs and materialisation of our designs. We consider sustainable architecture to be conscious architecture. Our aim is to create projects that spark positive change and can serve as an inspiration for how things can be done differently, for how we can make this world better and more beautiful.

Our strength lies in delivering inventive design solutions for complex projects. 
Each project is always assessed from multiple perspectives. We analyze the various user groups, stakeholders, local climate conditions and the cultural, political and environmental context. We distinguish the unique opportunities posed for each specific project. By using resourcefulness, experimentation and innovation, We look beyond the conventional to create sustainable architecture, precise detailing, and strong distinctive concepts.
