WZMH Architects is an award-winning international architectural partnership based in Toronto, Ontario. WZMH believes in a collaborative approach to all assignments, with all project participants working closely together in order to achieve a common goal: the delivery of the project to meet or exceed the expectations of the client.

The firm’s expertise encompasses all aspects of the architectural process, from master planning, site evaluation and feasibility studies, through the design and construction documentation phases, to the final selection of finishes and fittings for building interiors.

WZMH Architects recognize that the final built form must achieve a balance between the practical and the aesthetic: that good design goes beyond superficial appearance and informs all aspects of achieving a built solution that is tailored to the intended use.
