We’re packing up our in-town studio and getting ready for a move! And this time, we think we may have found our last studio. Short of designing and building a space from the ground up, we found what we were looking for right in front of us: a place of our own, room to make it ours, and a view across Quartermaster Harbor that will be pretty hard to beat.

Repurposing existing structures is the ultimate form of sustainable design, as it prevents unnecessary building waste and minimizes our footprint on the land. For this project, Sean provided the essential architectural drawings, ensuring the existing truss system was structurally sound and met all local jurisdiction requirements.

Modern architecture and interior design are increasingly shaped by one reality: people spend most of their lives indoors. The quality of those environments has measurable effects on mood, energy levels, and mental health.

Thermal comfort refers to how consistently warm, stable, and draft-free a home feels throughout the year. In the Pacific Northwest, where winters are long, damp, and low-light rather than extreme, thermal comfort depends less on high-output heating and more on thoughtful design.

Imagine a home that doesn’t just stand on the earth but breathes with it—where walls whisper stories of ancient forests, and every window frames a living tapestry of native plants and wildlife. These are homes that heal—not only protecting us from the elements but nurturing our connection to the land and inviting the gentle rhythms of nature inside.

We’ve seen all the fantastic designs for accessible kitchens with varying counter heights, and fantastic built-ins that all require a full kitchen renovation. But, what if a full renovation is not in the cards? How can we create an accessible kitchen using what we have?

Eternal skeptics here at Waldron Designs, we jumped into scientific papers and decided to establish the validity of Chromotherapy, and we’re excited to share what we found with you, because some of this is what we expected, but most of it is not!

As children, we never saw the red skies that come from local wildfires. We never had to worry about whether our air was clean enough to go outside. We didn’t watch king tides in awe, wondering why peoples’ homes were built so close to the beach because they were flooding. We remember talking about hairspray putting a hole in the ozone, but we didn’t FEEL the ramifications of global warming. It didn’t feel real.
