What WXCA does

WXCA is a Warsaw-based, privately held multi-disciplinary design studio specializing in architecture, urban planning, and landscape design, with a secondary office opened in Gdańsk in 2024/2025. The firm was founded in 2007 (per firmographic data) and operates with a team of approximately 51–100 employees across partners, senior architects, BIM/visualization specialists, and operational roles. WXCA's portfolio is heavily concentrated in public utility and cultural projects, including museums, theatres, archives, healthcare facilities, educational buildings, and public spaces, and the firm has won more than 25 first prizes in Polish and international architectural competitions since 2009.

The studio's core technology stack comprises Building Information Modeling (BIM), augmented reality, 3D printing, and working physical models, applied to a design process described as integrating architecture, urban planning, and landscape design within a single studio. WXCA generates revenue through professional architectural design services commissioned primarily via public-sector architectural competitions organized by SARP (the Association of Polish Architects) and municipal governments, supplemented by direct commissions from government agencies, cultural institutions, and private developers. Distribution is principally direct sales through competition participation, with partnerships formed with specialist firms (WSP, jsk architekci, Archimed) for multi-disciplinary projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per-project depending on scope and client type.

WXCA's project portfolio spans Poland and international markets including Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Serbia, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and Estonia. The firm has earned more than two dozen international and domestic awards between 2015 and 2025, including the ULI Global Award for Excellence 2024 (Museum of Polish History), the German Design Award 2025, the IF Design Award 2025, and inclusion in the inaugural Polish AD100 list in 2025. The firm operates as an independent partnership under co-leaders Marta Sękulska-Wrońska (Partner, CEO) and Szczepan Wroński (Partner), with no external investment, private equity, or parent ownership evident in available data.
