WEFAS Architecture is an innovative design firm with a focus on technology and sustainability. WEFAS is an acronym for Water, Earth, Fire, Air and Space, which are the embodiments of Architecture and Engineering (AE). Water stands for plumbing, Earth for structure, Fire for safety, Air for mechanical and Space for the architecture itself.
Our objective is to promote sustainability through high-performance design and to analyze its environmental impact, not only on a local scale, but globally. To achieve this, we employ widely accepted metrics such as Architecture 2030, USGBC LEED and IWBI WELL as well as our own set of principles promoting WELLNESS.
Our preferred style is Parametrism since its aesthetic qualities may rise from optimizing various programmatic requirements including high-performance design. Our main software platform in the design and delivery process is Building Information Modeling (BIM), which we further explore by utilizing tools such as Dinamo, Grasshopper, 3D printing, robotic fabrications, and other means of DIGITAL DESIGN.
WEFAS Architecture is certified as Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) by the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP); as a Small Local Business (SLB), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) by the City of Los Angeles and as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) by the Los Angeles METRO.
