Firm Culture

Founded in 1979, WHR has grown from a small three-person architecture practice into one of the nation’s leading Healthcare design firms. To provide our clients with complementary services and expanded resources, we became the Healthcare practice of EYP Inc. in 2014. Our award-winning family of practice groups – totaling nearly 700 professionals - includes sustainable design leader EYP Architecture & Engineering and The Weidt Group®, building energy performance specialists. We serve our clients worldwide from offices in Houston and Dallas, Texas; Raleigh, North Carolina; New York City, New York and Copenhagen, Denmark.

The firm culture is characterized by a heartfelt engagement with clients, with community stakeholders, with facilities' staff, with patients or students, with consultants and, importantly, with each other. At WHR it's architecture with people in mind.
