WASA Studio

A multidisciplinary architecture and engineering practice utilizing the latest technologies to provide quality solutions and project delivery at any scale. Founded in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1889 by Allen Stem and Charles Reed, the firm was established in New York City in 1903 when they relocated their office upon winning the competition to design Grand Central Terminal. First known as Reed & Stem and later as Fellheimer & Wagner, the firm became Wank Adams Slavin Associates in 1961. In 2004, when design partner Jack Esterson joined the firm, we became known as WASA Studio to emphasize our renewed commitment to design. Now entering our 126th year of practice, WASA, we look to the future while continuing to incorporate the traditional elements the firm was built upon.
