Design For All Ages & Abilities…
Integrated architecture + interiors, durable detailing, and clear documentation through construction—so accessibility features are beautiful and built correctly.
Your home should grow with you, not against you. Whether you're planning ahead for aging in place, adapting to new mobility needs, or simply want a more accessible space for family and guests, universal design creates beautiful, functional homes that work for everyone.
At Waldron Designs, we specialize in seamlessly integrating accessibility features that enhance both safety and style. Our Certified Living in Place Professional brings over a decade of experience transforming Pacific Northwest homes into spaces that truly serve their inhabitants - today and for years to come.

Waldron Design just completed a total remodel of our kitchen and main bathroom. Rachel collaborated with us on our three major goals for both rooms- functionality, easy maintenance and beauty. She and her team were responsive in resolving the inevitable concerns that always come up during construction.
Rachel, her team and subcontractors were a pleasure to work with even during the chaotic and sometimes overwhelming process of construction while living in your home.
We love both our kitchen and bathroom every time we walk into them!
