OUR COMMITMENT

Sustainable design is at the core of our values. We believe that the built environment can make a positive impact on the planet and its people. By prioritizing sustainable design principles, we aim to minimize our ecological footprint, conserve resources, and create healthier spaces. Our commitment to sustainable design goes beyond the environment and includes social and economic aspects. We integrate renewable energy sources and efficient water management systems to reduce environmental impact and enhance occupant well-being. Our vision is to create timeless spaces that provide long-term value for clients while contributing to a sustainable future for all.

As a small business, we understand our environmental impacts are also small, but we still believe it is important to be accountable. As a crucial part of our commitment to the environment, Waldron Designs purchases annual offsets from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation to offset the environmental impact of our office. 2023 was our first-year offset and we can’t claim to be 100% carbon neutral (this requires advanced carbon accounting), but we are learning more every day about how to track our actions to ensure that we are accurately offsetting. In addition to this offset, we are also actively working to offset the carbon of every project we design, beginning in 2024.

We take great pride in crafting designs that embrace inclusivity and accessibility for individuals of all ages and abilities. Recognizing the uniqueness of each person and their specific requirements, our mission is to ensure that every design seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetics. We are committed to considering the diverse needs of different age groups and abilities, carefully addressing factors like mobility, visibility, and safety throughout the planning and execution stages.

With a Living in Place Professional integral to our design team, we go beyond the ordinary. Whether it's creating wheelchair-accessible spaces, incorporating sensory elements for those with special needs, or curating age-appropriate environments, we're dedicated to fashioning spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also comfortable, inviting, and inclusive for everyone.

Our approach to regional design is deeply rooted in honoring and celebrating the unique character and distinct cultural heritage of each location. We believe that successful design should seamlessly blend with the surrounding environment, reflecting the history, climate, and lifestyle of the region. By carefully studying the local architecture, materials, and building practices, we are able to create spaces that not only harmonize with their surroundings but also enhance the quality of life for the people who inhabit them. Our team is dedicated to crafting designs that pay homage to the regional aesthetics while incorporating modern functionality and innovation. Through our meticulous attention to detail and collaboration with local craftsmen and artisans, we strive to create spaces that evoke a sense of place and leave a lasting impression on both residents and visitors alike.
