Westar Architects International

What Westar Architects International does

Westar Architects International is a privately held, multi-disciplinary international architectural and interior design firm specializing in the hospitality, resort, and gaming sectors. Headquartered in Macau (S.A.R. China) with offices in Porto, Portugal and Manila, Philippines, the firm delivers projects across Asia-Pacific (Macau, Manila), the broader Chinese-speaking region via a bilingual EN/ZH website, and Europe (Cyprus, Estonia). Its core offering spans master planning, architecture, interior design, on-site project and design management, 3D modelling, lighting design, and graphic design/branding, executed by in-house teams from concept through construction administration.

The firm's competitive positioning rests on three pillars: domain specialisation in integrated resort and gaming interiors, an award-winning project portfolio, and computational and parametric design capabilities that enable complex organic facades and flowing geometries. Customers are primarily tier-one integrated resort and luxury hospitality operators — including Melco Resorts, MGM Grand Paradise, Galaxy Entertainment, Tak Chun Group, Suncity Group, Meg-Star, Mandarin Oriental, Okada Manila, and Bombay Group — for venues such as the MGM Cotai Emerald Villa and Forbes 5-star Okada Manila L15 Sky Lounge, plus the MICHELIN-awarded Burman Hotel in Tallinn.

The business model is professional services: project-based design fees quoted per engagement based on scope, complexity, and deliverables. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct enterprise engagement, with project acquisition relationship-driven through referrals from existing operator relationships. The firm has built a track record across 25+ projects, holds SBID, MUSE Platinum, and MICHELIN (Opening of the Year, two Keys) recognitions, and reports 51-100 employees. Owner-operator (founder/management-controlled) with no disclosed institutional backing, subsidiaries, or M&A activity; revenue figures are not publicly reported.
