JWP Architects was founded by Bernie Jovaras and Doug Westland in 1993 as Jovaras Westland Partnership. Today, the team has grown to over 13 talented people, each bringing a unique skill set and perspective to create an open, collaborative, dynamic practice where fresh ideas flow.

The practice is currently managed by directors Leigh Rizzato and John Guthrie.
