The winter solstice is the shortest day and the longest night of the year. It is also when residential design is tested the hardest. When daylight fades early, and interiors carry more of the emotional load, a home either supports comfort or quietly works against it.

The heart of the Pacific Northwest home often pulses quietly—gentle rain against big windows, laughter echoing off cedar walls, and always, spaces shaped for stories. At Waldron Designs, we believe the bones of a welcoming room are built-in, literally.
