Focused on innovative approaches to public space, structures, and urban issues, WXY's work engages both site-specific design and planning at multiple scales. The firm collaborates with community-based, public authority, and private clients to realize its commissions.

WXY is known for its architectural design that embraces place-specific concepts and resilient design to create new and repurposed buildings, piers, bridges, and urban furnishings for the public realm. The integrated design process involves clients and stakeholders, yielding solutions as noteworthy for their intimacy and detail as for their civic dignity and amenity.

Additionally, the firm's planning work engages local communities and constituencies in unique ways, utilizing analytical GIS and zoning expertise, along with an understanding of infrastructure and economic development concerns. The results have included the creative visioning of public spaces, new urban clusters, and broad urban revitalization and infrastructure planning efforts.
