Wilson Butler Architects (Wba)

Based in Boston, the studio crafts immersive theaters, performing arts centers, cruise

ship venues and arts education buildings.

Their projects range from historic theater restorations to cutting‑edge entertainment vessels like Celebrity cruise ships.

Specializing in theatrical and experiential design, they create spaces where audiences feel part of the moment.

Unusual fact: their model‑making lead builds physical models that drive client engagement and design clarity.

The studio works on diverse typologies—cultural districts, amphitheaters, campus arts centers.

Fun. We laugh, daily. More than daily.

Adventurous. Like hiking Mount Everest, walking across the desert, captaining a boat or starting on a road trip with no particular destination in mind.

Creative. We have fantastical ideas and are filled with a childlike obsession to create.

Tactical. We anticipate challenges, forecast solutions and untangle complications before obstacles become major headaches.

Collaborative. We work in a studio environment where all voices are heard, all ideas are tested and all hands are on deck.

Multicultural. Our staff is from Colombia, United Kingdom, Spain, Uganda, Vietnam, all united by their passion for design.

The environment is a top priority, guiding the company's approach to design and construction.
