Since 2000, the award winning partnership of architect Darrell "Buck" Welch, Jr. A.I.A. and architectural designer Victor Weeks maintains its office in the historic 1908 Yokohama Specie Bank Building in Honolulu. They strive to fit their designs into the fabric of island living, where indoor and outdoor spaces flow together and structures embrace nature rather than compete with it. Their architecturally designed houses use "Passive Environmental Systems" to create low energy and environmentally friendly, comfortable homes. Rational and time proven GREEN architectural solutions are executed in historical, traditional or contemporary designs. Much of their work is influenced by the great Hawaii architects of the past...such as C.W. Dickey, Hart Wood, Ossipoff, and Johnson/Perkins to name a few. Yet, the work of Welch and Weeks is always for modern living. This Hawaii architectural firm can provide a full range of personal architectural services. This includes design development and full construction drawings along with providing design models. The firm will take your dream home from permitting and bidding to construction oversight and final completion. Most importantly, they listen to their client's needs. Their projects have received recognition from American Institute of Architects, the Buildings Industry Association, the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts and numerous trade publications. More importantly however, is the list of satisfied clients who continue to refer friends and associates to the firm of Welch and Weeks LLC.
