RHWL Architects (originally Renton Howard Wood Associates) was a British architecture practice based in London, Berlin and Qatar. It was created by Andrew Renton, Peter Howard and Humphrey Wood following the establishment of Andrew Renton & Associates in 1961. Gerald Levin became a Name Partner in 1973, and from that date the Firm was often known as 'RHWL'. It was well known for projects undertaken in the fields of residential and commercial buildings, further education and the entertainment industry. RHWL Architects, Arts Team and RHWL Interiors eventually became part of Renton Howard Wood Levin LLP, a limited liability partnership. RHWL and Arts Team were acquired by Aedas on 26 January 2015.[1]
