About our Firm
Hands-on Partners
Winslow + Partners is founded on the legacy that Paul Winslow, FAIA, brings with him. After successfully cofounding Orcutt|Winslow and being a managing partner for 40+ years, Paul retired to start a new practice where he could be more hands-on and spearhead a design team focused on ideas for a changing world.
Kali Mota, Associate AIA, was born into the construction industry where she worked for many years. She brings years of experience in efficiently managing and coordinating construction projects. Her organizational skills are the backbone of the firm, particularly in relationship to our Innovation Think Tank and programming process.
The pragmatics of today are combined with a vision for the future with creative technology used to communicate design concepts visually to their clients.
50+ Years of Experience
Born and raised in Phoenix, Paul has spent his 50+ year career living and practicing mostly in Arizona and has participated actively in both City and community organizations that support the metropolitan area.
He understands our community as well as the larger market area. He has considerable experience as an architect and planner in evaluating sites for a range of projects types. Both partners continue to build their knowledge on current market trends in Retail, Hospitality and Mixed-Use Development.
Interactive Use of Technology
Because we do everything in 3D that gives us the ability to use our model as a design tool when reviewing the project with our client (from the early conceptual stages through the final design). This visualization of the spaces in detail helps our clients and general contractor understand the design/cost implications of their decisions in real time.
Our clients have the advantage of using a free app with their computers or mobile devices to access the 3D model walk-through at their convenience.
Because of their continued use of Graphisoft's ARCHICAD, Kali Mota, Assoc. AIA, was recently featured on a video celebrating 2022 International Women's Day.
Hyper-Collaborative
Design Approach
Our hyper-collaborative approach to design engages all the parties involved in the process from the beginning, including our client, consultants, and if appropriate the general contractor.
This allows for exploration of alternative strategies and assessment of building systems and material availability to make sure our client gets the “best buy”. It is ideal for this hyper-collaboration to occur during the entire design process to take advantage of any potential savings in terms of time or cost.
Cloud-Based Project
Management Systems
With a cloud based Project Management system, developed by Paul’s previous firm. It serves as a depository for all project information (meeting minutes, photos, progress drawings, RFI's, etc.) so that it can be shared and tracked by our client and by the project team remotely at any time.
In order to have effective project management it is necessary to have immediate access to all project files.
Our software provides the added benefit of no file size constraints. This means we are able to exchange our progress drawings, which tend to be very large in size with our Consultants, the Contractor and our client as they become available.
