Architect, Vahid Mojarrab, and designer/artist, Carol Ware, are partners at WAMO Studio, LLC. WAMO Studio has over fifty combined years of experience in architecture, planning, design and sustainability.  WAMO Studio’s design reputation is based on simple, innovative and authentic designs.  Since its inception, the firm has pursued a rigorous logic in its design approach in the belief that architectural programs are best solved directly and efficiently.  Founder of WAMO Studio, Vahid Mojarrab, has a philosophy centered on two essential architectural ideas. One is to use sensible architecture to create a significant place within a site, and the other is to be sensitive to climate and to respond to environmental demands with emphases on building sciences.  In the work with Volkshouse LLC, and independent clients, Mojarrab has demonstrated his commitment to low-carbon and net-zero energy consumption projects.  Central to the sustainable goals of the firm is the core belief that building sustainably does not have to mean building expensively.  Mojarrab and Ware recognize that we are now faced with the challenge of building affordable and self‐sufficient homes and work spaces that operate more like living organisms. With the increased knowledge in building sciences and technologies, it is possible to build spaces that generate more energy than they consume, places that are made from materials that require minimal maintenance. Positioned on the cutting edge in the building sciences, WAMO is developing high performance, Passive House certified projects at a minimal cost premium, achieving this level of financial, social and environmental sustainability by creating more streamlined and efficient buildings, by designing with appropriate materials for the project and climate.  WAMO Studio is constantly seeking to address these issues while simultaneously creating beautiful and elegant designs.  Among other accomplishments, WAMO has won an international housing competition, received several AIA Awards and two MFA awards.
