Greg Newman of Way Architecture

A Look Into the Work

Two projects illustrate the commitment to service Greg brings to Way Architecture + Design Partners, using the power of design to conceptualize a client’s vision and destination - creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind experiences that are as functional as they are unforgettable:

The 1781 Club blends inspiration from an eclectic farmhouse gathering place with a rich, modern lounge experience - where a gourmet kitchen, indoor golf simulators, and sweeping views ignite the imagination. Get your camera button ready; using light, color, and intriguing decor, the creativity and magnitude of this design deliver inspiration throughout its picturesque golf course setting.

Or, transport yourself to the rugged and whimsical Lumberjaxes, where Greg and Way Architecture brought to life an enchanting homage to all things wood and fun, for the stylish Pittsburgh Axe-Throwing venue. For outings, happy hours, or events, you enter a kingdom of timber - from polished live-edge tables, to the swirling, jungle-like wall décor, to the raw lumber of the targets at which you’ll learn to hurl axes with precision.

Here are photos from these projects you don’t want to miss..
