PROCESS
We create homes for people and places. Your design will be tailored to you and your life; designed for your site with one eye on the details and another on the future.

At WDA we will help you through your journey from the initial spark of an idea to a completed dream.
During the journey we will pass various markers along the way. Chances to stop and evaluate. Chances to pause and reflect and ensuring we are on the right track to reach our goals.
