centre design and a major contributor
to Edmonton's skyline. "Neil joined
the company in 1989 and I came along
in 1991, and we regarded Jim not only
as a mentor but as someone who
created a strong legacy in the design
and development community. That
really helped us get started," says Weih.
"His passion for design combined with
his skill for the business side of the
profession influenced us enormously, as
did his conviction that architects need to
focus on the design ends of the client."
Wensley passed away in 2009.
Weih and Banich clicked as business
partners from the outset. "Barry has
a great ability to organize projects
and run the ofice," says Banich. "I
provide the colour, and we rein each
other in when necessary." Weih says
of Banich, "Neil often works his design
magic under tight deadlines, and he
always delivers." With its diverse and
talented team including associates
Echaiz-McGrath and Smith, WA is well
prepared to handle the challenge of
expanding their vision and practice.
In addition to the day-to-day focus on
growing and managing their business,
Cap West is a proposed mixed-use community in the District of
North Vancouver. The project will consist of approximately 380
residential units along with retail, a community centre, seniors'
and rental apartments and a self-storage facility. The project will
incorporate a variety of sustainable design strategies including
green roofs, solar shading and recycled materials.
