WATG80
Eighty years ago, we set out on a journey to reimagine the way the world experiences hospitality spaces. What began in Honolulu has grown into a global design powerhouse, crafting projects across six continents and creating memories along the way. Now, as we celebrate our 80th anniversary, it’s time to reflect on where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and where our pencils and passports will take us next.
