WZMH Architects is an architectural firm established in 1961 and based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Originally known as Webb Zerafa Menkès Housden (after Peter Webb, Boris Zerafa, René Menkès, and Warwick Housden) the company's name was changed to WZMH Architects in 2002.
The firm is known for its work with tall, landmark structures (including the CN Tower), skyscrapers, major mixed-use development, commercial, institutional, residential and hospitality projects, as well as renovation and retrofit projects involving heritage restoration, justice buildings and data centres.[1]
In 2015, WZMH merged with retail design firm, pellow + associates.[2]
The company working with Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University), has devised a concept for providing supplemental energy to buildings that are linked to a microgrid that would draw that energy captured from the testing of nearby data center generators.[3] The company has come up with a concept to harness “wasted energy” from data centers by diverting it to residences and commercial buildings that are located near the data center to form a direct current microgrid-based community.
The next company's project with Ryerson University, The Ryerson University Smart Campus Integration and Testing Hub (SCITHub) will be the world’s first building that is 100 percent digitally enabled.[4]
