Wilson Architecture + Design, LLC was founded by Maria Wilson to help clients define their current needs and foresee their future needs. Whether it be the need for an additional bedroom, when baby number two arrives, or preparing your current home for your aging parents arrival, our practice focuses on people and their individual and ever changing needs!
Our Philosophy
We combine experience, energy, a love for design and a passion for people. We work with our clients to innovate solutions that achieve their goals while respecting their schedule and budget. We will collaborate with you to find that delicate balance.
We believe architecture influences the way that we live. Good design should simplify the way we live and accommodate the demands of life. Architecture should be functional and aesthetically pleasing.
We believe the key to any successful project is communication. It begins with clearly defining what you can expect from us. We see our role as facilitator. From our initial conversation to a completed project we will assist you with defining your project goals, preliminary design, budgeting, construction documentation, construction administration and more.
