If you’re considering a renovation, addition, or new build in the Pacific Northwest, you’re in the right place. Waldron Designs provides integrated architecture + interior design with a clear, phase-based process—so you can make confident decisions, avoid expensive surprises, and end up with a home that supports how you live.
What we do (and what makes it different)
Integrated architecture + interiors: one coordinated team from early feasibility through construction.
Process clarity: you’ll always know what happens next, what decisions are coming, and what you’ll receive in each phase.
Sustainable, performance-minded design: comfort, durability, indoor air quality, and materials that align with your values.
Documentation that protects your investment: drawings, specifications, and construction support that help the work get built as intended.
Projects we’re best at
We’re a great fit for homeowners who want a thoughtful, cohesive result and value a collaborative process.
Typical project types:
Whole-home renovations and gut remodels
Additions that require careful planning (layout, structure, permitting)
New construction with strong site/context response
Kitchens and baths when they’re part of a larger plan (or require significant reconfiguration)
Minimum good-fit project
Our best-fit projects typically have:
A scope that benefits from real design planning + documentation (not solely documentation)
A budget that supports quality execution and professional coordination
As a rule of thumb, we’re usually a fit when the project budget is $50k+, and the scope requires design decisions across multiple systems (layout, structure, envelope, lighting, cabinetry, finishes).
How we work (high level)
Our work is organized into clear phases, each with specific deliverables and decision points.
Predesign: feasibility, site/context, early constraints, permitting approach
Schematic Design: concepts, layouts, early budget alignment
Design Development: detailed design decisions, coordinated materials/systems
Construction Documents: technical drawings and specifications for permitting and pricing
Construction Administration: site visits, submittals/RFIs, quality control support
If you like knowing what’s coming and prefer a calm, organized process, you’ll feel at home here.
What we need from you (to make the process work)
Great projects are a partnership. We’re a strong fit when you can:
Make timely decisions (we’ll guide you with clear options)
Share budget and timeline constraints early
Stay engaged during key decision windows
Respect the value of detailed design and documentation
Who we’re not the best fit for (and that’s okay)
We may not be the right team if you:
Want to skip phases or move straight to construction without documentation
Prefer to hire separate teams for architecture and interiors without a single point of coordination
Have a design and are purely looking for documentation
Are looking for the lowest-cost design option or want to minimize design time
Want us to “just pick finishes” without addressing layout/function/performance
Expect immediate construction starts without permitting and lead-time realities
Prefer a process with minimal collaboration or frequent last-minute changes
What happens next
If this sounds like your style, here’s the best next step:
Step 1: Send an inquiry with your location, scope, budget range, and timeline.
Step 2: Site Intake or Intro Conversation to confirm fit and clarify goals.
Step 3: Proposal + kickoff (predesign retainer) if we’re aligned.
Inquiry
