Our Studio

Over twenty years ago Bob and Pete formed a collaboration.  It has evolved into a reputable residential design team that specializes in the design or redesign.  The compilation of their work includes hundreds of homes in time-honored neighborhoods across the country as well as in private retreats on unique parcels of land.  They have a true knack for playing to the strengths of the individual landscape characteristics.

Through descriptive hand drawn illustrations and efficient use of computer-generated models and drawings, Pete and Bob create a very inclusive design process.  They strive to create timeless design solutions that coincide with our clients’ desires, and they are respectful of the owner’s budget.  The end result is a design that becomes an integral part of the way client’s way of living.

WAY design studios has intentionally remained a two-person collaboration so that Bob and Pete can personally give each project the creativity and attention to detail that it deserves.  Pete and Bob stay in constant communication with all of their clients throughout the design phase, the development of the construction drawings and the construction process.  Both Bob and Pete are rare in the residential design profession in that they both have years of actual construction experience.  In the past, they have been involved in the direct construction of dozens of homes; swinging hammers to frame the structures that they and others have designed, installing finish trim, building furniture and constructing and applying sensitively crafted details to the homes.  This perspective on the construction process allows Pete and Bob to have a unique relationship with the builders that they interact with as well as the ability to develop a strong set of construction drawings.  All-in-all this brings out the best quality and efficient production in the builders and fabricators involved in all of their projects.

The process of hiring a design firm/residential designer to create your new home or design your addition should be a pleasant experience.  At WAY design studios, Bob and Pete strive to make this journey enjoyable and result in a solution that is not only aesthetically unique, but livable.
