Effortless steps for exceptional outcomes

Initial Assessment

Our design starts with an assessment of your space, measurement verification, and a lifestyle questionnaire. We then create initial designs, including schematic designs, CAD drawings, and material selections.

Design Detailing & Collaboration

Following layout approval, we detail millwork, calculate quantities, estimate costs, and create a material schedule. We gather samples, initiate pre-construction plans, and coordinate with third parties.

Design Refinement & Coordination

We adjust material schedules to fit your budget, refine designs, and prep construction sets. We also submit & manage permits and assist with contractor, engineer, and vendor selection.

Design Approval

We check and track every project item, sharing a comprehensive finish guide with contractors. Each item is inspected, and we swiftly handle any on-site surprises, from returns or replacements to quantity adjustments.

Construction Kick-off

Demolition and construction kick off 2-4 weeks before the most extended lead time items arrive. WAD visits the site during framing, electrical, and plumbing, and periodically during finishing and installation to ensure the design is executed per our planning.

Final Walkthrough

We team up with your general contractor for a thorough walkthrough to check installations, finishing materials, and fixtures.

FAQs

Do specialty spaces increase home value?

When thoughtfully designed and integrated, specialty rooms can enhance both usability and long-term appeal.

Can specialty rooms be added during larger renovations?

Yes. These spaces are often integrated into full-home projects for continuity.

Why hire a designer for a single specialty room?

Specialty spaces often require custom storage, lighting control, acoustics, or proportion-sensitive detailing. Professional planning ensures these elements function properly.

What qualifies as a specialty space?

Specialty spaces include rooms with a defined purpose beyond standard living areas—such as libraries, gyms, wine rooms, or dedicated media spaces.
