WOHA is a Singapore-based architecture practice, established in 1994 by Wong Mun Summ (born 18 August 1962) and Richard Hassell (born 28 October 1966). Its name is derived from the initial letters of the founders’ surnames. They have built over fifty projects throughout Southeast Asia, China and Australia, including residential towers, public housing estates, mass transit stations, hotels and cultural institutions.

Their work incorporates sustainable design strategies as a response to climate change and widespread urbanization.^[1] They aim to integrate landscape, architecture and urbanism in high-rise buildings to improve quality of life for residents of high-density megacities.^[2] Their buildings are notable for their extensive use of natural vegetation as a building element.^[3] In 2009, they came to international attention with the award-winning residential tower The Met in Bangkok, which established their reputation as designers of sustainable, naturally ventilated skyscrapers for an urban tropical context.^[4]^[5]

In addition to architectural practice, WOHA have taught at the National University of Singapore^[6] and both frequently lecture at universities around the world.^[7]^[8]^[9]

History

The firm shifted focus to public and commercial architecture in 2000, when the partnership won open competitions for two MRT railway stations in Singapore and a commission for the 1 Moulmein Rise apartment block.^[10] Subsequent projects included Newton Suites and the School of the Arts in Singapore, and The Met in Bangkok, the later of which was well regarded for its sustainable strategies. When The Met won the RIBA Lubetkin Prize in 2011,^[11] the jury citation stated: "The Met shows that an alternative strategy to the sleek air-conditioned box can work in the tropics and has implications everywhere."
