What We Bring to the Table
We bring leadership in the latest building technology, energy efficiency, and digital craft to each project. While we are primarily known for our iconic design work, our office is also committed to innovation in workflows, energy sources, materials, and methods of construction for the 21st century. Each project is developed meticulously in a three-dimensional environment to control form, coordinate systems, detail facades, and visualize construction sequencing. We are steeped in methods of collaboration on federated models, using REVIT, Tekla, and other BIM systems, and how to build teams and processes around these contemporary platforms. While we work with outside partners for our engineering needs, we possess deep knowledge of the fundamentals of each discipline which allows us to lead, control process, and manage cost effectively.
TWA has experience with international and local planning and code authorities as well as different methods of project delivery used in the United States, Germany, Austria, France, the Middle East, Korea and China. We also have extensive experience working with Executive Architects on joint ventures in international settings, and with the Design Assist project delivery method, which brings builders in early to collaborate. Previous to the founding of TWA, Principal Tom Wiscombe had a ten-year career at Coop Himmelb(l)au, where he was both Project Partner and Chief Designer for four major projects, totaling 1.5M square feet. The total construction value of these projects is over $750 million USD. He brings this experience to bear on the work of TWA by ‘seeing around the bend’, and leveraging his global professional network.
