👋 Say hello to Kayle!

We’re excited to welcome Kayle to PWWG! With a decade of experience in St. Louis and Pittsburgh, Kayle brings a thoughtful, versatile approach to architecture and design.

As a generalist, her work spans a wide range of project types, from fixtures and wayfinding to retail, restaurants, single- and multi-family housing, education, and public projects.

Her experience teaching at WashU, managing clients and projects, and leading teams has shaped an approach rooted in listening, understanding individual goals, and developing thoughtful, tailored solutions.

We’re so happy to have you on the team, Kayle! 🎉

This weekend, Team PDubs took on Canstruction Pittsburgh for the first time! For the “Blast from the Past” theme, we brought a childhood classic back to life: the Lite Brite... or, as we called it, Lite BITE! 💡🥫

Our larger-than-life version was constructed from 1,140 cans, including approximately 600 cans of sliced white potatoes! 🥔

Creating Lite Bite was equal parts design challenge, construction experiment, and “what exactly did we get ourselves into?” But we learned a lot, had a lot of fun, and now have a pretty good idea of what we’ll do differently when Team PDubs returns next year.

And while our Lite Bite may eventually go dark, the cans will keep doing some good. All cans from this year’s Canstruction builds will be donated to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

Want to help us turn a few more cans into an even bigger impact? Vote for PWWG by making a donation to our team:

And if you want to see Lite Bite (and all of the other incredible builds), stop by South Hills Village through October 23!

We’re proud to share that PWWG was named a finalist in the 3-Family category of the Cincinnati BuildReady Design Competition for Community Stakeholder Panel.
With 92 entries from 29 cities, BuildReady invited architects, designers, and students to imagine new approaches to 2-, 3-, and 4-family housing for Cincinnati neighborhoods.

Our submission, “The Alice,” explores the relationship between Cincinnati’s traditional housing forms and a contemporary expression.

A vertical circulation corridor—incorporating stairs, balconies, and intimate nooks—contrasts with the more traditional mass containing the living spaces. Two chimney-like forms become skylights, emphasizing the vertical character of the three-unit home. Each unit has its own entry and stair, creating a sense of privacy and individuality for its residents.

We envisioned The Alice as a housing type that can evolve with the neighborhood: each iteration uniquely painted and named, allowing a repeatable design to develop its own identity as it infills Cincinnati’s neighborhoods.

We’re grateful to have been part of this important conversation about the future of Middle Housing in Cincinnati. Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners, and thank you to the City of Cincinnati Government for bringing BuildReady to the community!

🎉Welcome, Myles! 🎉

Myles Sloan joined PWWG Architects in 2026 as an intern through Carnegie Mellon University’s UDream Program. Myles graduated from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) with a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, he is interested in exploring how architecture can provide a sense of belonging to the individuals who inhabit a space. Through his recent work and experiences, Myles is developing a strong interest in human-centric urbanism.

Myles approaches architecture with an emphasis on community, regenerative design, and materiality. He is particularly interested in residential housing and hopes to continue developing his understanding of how thoughtful design can positively impact communities.

Outside of architecture, Myles enjoys running and fishing. He appreciates the outdoor aspects both provide, as well as the discipline and focus that come with running, and the patience and serenity that come with fishing.

We were honored to celebrate the grand opening of Cincinnati's Fidelity Hotel!

Originally constructed in 1913, the 13-story Gwynne Building was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It was a privilege to help transform this historic building into a stunning French-inspired boutique hotel in the heart of Cincinnati's Central Business District. After years of thoughtful planning, design, and restoration, this iconic Beaux-Arts building has been given new life and is ready to welcome guests for generations to come.

A special thank you to our friends at New Waterloo for hosting such a wonderful celebration, and to our incredible design team whose talent and dedication made this project possible.

We're proud to have played a role in preserving a piece of Cincinnati's history and look forward to continuing to bring thoughtful, design-driven projects to the city.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! ☀️🌊

Our PWWG team spent part of the afternoon enjoying the amazing weather at Riverlife’s Shore Thing! We were excited to have our newest UDream intern, Myles, join us for the afternoon as we stepped away from the office and enjoyed some time together.

A little sunshine, good company, and a great team outing — what more could we ask for?

We had such a wonderful evening at this year’s Night in the Tropics at the National Aviary ! 🦜🌴

While the air quality forced the event entirely indoors, the Aviary team didn’t miss a beat. They put together a fantastic evening filled with delicious food, refreshing drinks, great company, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the incredible birds that make the Aviary so special.

We were also honored to support this year’s event as a Bronze Sponsor. It’s always a pleasure to be part of an evening that celebrates such an amazing organization and the important work they do.

Thank you to everyone at the National Aviary for another memorable night—we’re already looking forward to next year! 🦩🌺🍹

Say hello to Josh! 👋

Josh recently joined PWWG after relocating to Pittsburgh, bringing more than 12 years of experience on public education projects in the North Texas area. He is excited to explore Pittsburgh and the surrounding neighborhoods in search of fun restaurants and breweries.

He travels as much as possible, taking trips ranging from small nearby towns to state parks to international adventures; always trying to experience the architecture and culture of the area. He enjoys hosting and cooking fun dinners for friends and family, pulling ideas from the ever-growing cookbook collection. A particular interest is making scratch pasta dough and hand-forming pasta shapes.
For a much-needed escape, he loves watching movies in the theater on the big screen, or picking a movie from the collection and having a movie night at home with the cats. 🐈

We’re so happy to have you at PWWG!
