21 Years Young and Moving Forward!

21 years of strong dedicated leadership.

With a passion for improving the built environment, Michael Willis established Michael Willis & Associates in May of 1988. Jeffrey McGraw was hired to work on the firm’s first project; Carlton Smith joined the firm as studio director in 1995. Here we are in 2009; Michael, Carlton and Jeff are firm owners, based in San Francisco, Oakland and Portland.

21 years of strong design.

MWA Architects continues to build on our successes to be an urban, housing, infrastructure, and interior architecture firm making our mark on significant projects, and leaving our cities better places to live and work.

21 years of growth and evolution.

As we celebrate 21 years in practice, we also mark a transition: Michael Willis & Associates became Michael Willis Architects in 1998, and will now be known as MWA Architects. Now, 21 years later, we are pleased announce new talent and leadership within the firm.

Join us in launching MWA Architects, 21 years young and moving forward.

Sincerely,


Michael E. Willis, FAIA, NOMA
