The architecture of BWA is simple, elegant and timeless. It belies the effort that has gone into its making, and the complexities of the processes by which it is designed and built: it looks as if was always meant to be there. It belongs. Intensely sensitive to context, the practice is obsessive about plan form, proportions, light, and the use of materials.Every detail is thought through, resulting in buildings that are wholly bespoke. From its inception in 1987, Barbara Weiss Architects has developed a reputation for providing an exceptionally personal service, based first and foremost on listening to clients.

Barbara Weiss was born in Milan in 1954, where she attended Italian schools before spending one year at the Ecole d'Architecture in Geneva. She then transferred to the Architectural Association in London, obtaining her AA Diploma in 1979. She became a member of the RIBA in 1985. Early work experiences include periods spent at design offices such as Philip Johnson-John Burgee, and Richard Meier in New York; Valle Broggi Burckhardt in Milan; and two most formative phases at Stirling Wilford and Associates in London, first as a student and later as project architect working on large scale buildings and a new town in Italy.
