UWA is a design office, founded in 2013 by Paolo Righetti, as a RED architectural department Spin-Off. 

UWA aims to develop projects following integrated design principles. 

UWA collaborates with most renowned national and international engineering companies.

Through the knowledge and experience of architects and professional figures that are part of the team, UWA is able to offer every kind of expertise inside the design process and the building construction.

These different activities could be carried out into one single assignment, covering the whole process, or instead could be divided into different assignments, according to the client needs, and supporting a team which is already working on the projects.

UWA could play a central role as coordinator in multidiscilinary teams, working together with different design professionals.

Having been part of international projects UWA is enabled to work as Local Architect for leading architecture offices worldwide. 

Experience and research are the main features that underpin our attitude toward architecture.

Through the experience in design and building construction UWA could offer an higly professional approach in the built environment, and enables the office to propose the best solutions and the best strategies for the client in every single step of the process.

UWA believes that research and practice are fundamental in our discipline. 

Therefore RED first and now UWA engaged since 2002 a close collaboration with DAGAD, an architecture and design research center, based until 2016 at Fabbrica del Vapore (Milan) and since 2016 at MIL (Labor and Industry museum, Sesto S.Giovanni).

Since 2015 the approach on design has been improved through Environmental Psychology, aiming to bring at the center of the project the clients and final users needs.
