Religious WLC continues to work faithfully with a diverse cross section of devout congregations throughout California. For religious organizations who typically build generationally, constructing a place of worship requires full trust in their Architect. WLC takes special care to lead a building committee through a process of education to enable entrusted members to make wise decisions. With every project, the design and building process is an opportunity for WLC and the congregation to be part of a wonderful spiritual growth experience. WLC seeks to create places for worship and fellowship that balance tradition with technology, encourage seekers, support members, and bring them together as a purposeful community of believers. There are few other building types in which spirit and substance come together, translating something that is intangible into that which can be fully realized. The most rewarding religious architecture results from worship settings that invite a deeply personal relationship between each believer and God. WLC

Sustainable WLC has a longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship. In 1995, WLC designed the first LEED pilot project in California. Southern California Gas Company s Energy Resource Center was used as model to help test the benchmark for future high performing projects. Since then we have designed numerous sustainable projects for our educational, civic, and community clients. WLC s commitment to sustainability is demonstrated by our stellar team of 27 LEED Accredited professionals and our commitment to become an AIA 2030 Firm. This commitment requires sustainable business practices as well as sustainable architecture. At WLC we believe that sustainable architecture and environmental design can achieve greater energy efficiency, create rewarding work and learning environments, achieve optimum indoor air quality, enhance user performance, and provide savings to operation budgets. With every project, clients, architects, and contractors have the opportunity to minimize the impact on the environment by working together to establish performance standards and making wise choices that will impact the future. Our sustainable portfolio includes the planning and design of specialty systems: windmill generation, ice storage systems, solar hot water heating, solar photovoltaic systems, and straw bale building construction. Attention to site orientation, envelope design, and systems are standard practice in our firm. We provide energy modeling with the use of BIM technology to assist us in achieving LEED and CHPS certification or to obtain grants from the Savings by Design program. WLC
