About DWL|NM
Located in the heart of downtown Albuquerque, DWL|NM is a small but dynamic architecture firm that has designed with integrity for over three decades. Founded in 1992, our practice is built on four enduring principles: quality, tradition, service, and excellence.
We believe architecture is about more than buildings; it’s about people and the communities they shape. Our service-driven approach puts clients and users at the center of every project, from innovative corporate spaces to historic restorations.
Quality guides everything we do. We design with care, combining craftsmanship, sustainability, and innovation to create lasting, meaningful structures.

Tradition grounds our work. Drawing from Albuquerque’s rich history, we integrate cultural context and historic character into designs that honor the past while looking forward.
Service defines our process. We listen, collaborate, and stay engaged beyond project completion, ensuring every client’s vision is realized and exceeded.
Excellence drives us to continually evolve. We invest in learning, technology, and sustainable design practices to deliver architecture that endures and inspires.
Over the years, DWL|NM has helped shape Albuquerque’s architectural landscape—from modern commercial landmarks to revitalized historic spaces. As we look to the future, our commitment remains the same: to create thoughtful, people-centered architecture that inspires and endures.
We are where design meets dedication, and buildings become legacies.
