The practice of Michael H.K. Wong Architects Inc. (MHKW) was formed in 1976 and is presently one of the most progressive firms in the Canadian architectural scene.
The practice is a coterie of ardent professionals committed to the ideals of architectural excellence. Since its inception, the company’s ongoing philosophy has been a practical yet sensitive approach to design.
Located in Toronto, the firm has been established to furnish its clients with comprehensive architectural services. Michael H.K. Wong has fostered from the beginning a spirit of cooperation and teamwork among his designers and architects who, working within a studio atmosphere, have established a creative milieu, which is intimate, challenging and productive. As a consequence, the client is given personal attention, covering a wide range of services by a core staff of highly skilled professionals.
MHKW has been involved in a large variety of projects across North America, as well as abroad. The practice specializes in educational, institutional, commercial, residential and recreational architectural projects.
The firm is constantly seeking to be innovative in its approach to design. It employs conventional criteria for solving design problems combined with sophisticated and inspired approaches to architectural commissions. The size of the company remains such that personal participation, informed direction and professional dedication are maintained in all projects. The practice’s taste for excellence guarantees that each project is carefully and methodically coordinated from the initial design concepts to the production of working drawings, specifications, site supervision, cost control and postconstruction. This integral design process is not only consistent with the current socio-economic environment, but also allows for the adoption of latest specialized techniques, high technology and the new aesthetics of the 21st Century.
MHKW is firmly invested in producing sustainable architectural designs that seek to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by the efficient use of materials, energy, and development space. It is recognized that designing a building that is in harmony with the natural features and resources surrounding the site is attractive to people as a place to live. Michael H.K. Wong and his staff stand by the belief that “Green Values” show that sustainability is not simply an ethic, it is good business.
A building is manifested by fulfilling its functional and economic requirements; when it also evokes an emotional response from its users and the general public, it is architecture." - Michael H.K. Wong
