Services
Pre-Design
Our Pre-Design phase begins with comprehensive client consultations to understand organizational culture, operational needs, and project goals. We conduct space audits, employee interviews, and site surveys to establish functional requirements. This stage includes developing area calculations, zoning diagrams, and preliminary timelines to create a foundation for successful design solutions.
Space Planning
Space Planning focuses on optimizing spatial efficiency while maintaining code compliance and accessibility standards. We analyze workflow patterns, circulation routes, and sightlines to create functional layouts. Our approach balances practical requirements with creative elements to maximize the potential of each environment while supporting user needs.
Design Concept
During the Design Concept phase, we translate client requirements into visual representations through sketches, renderings, and 3D models. This stage incorporates material selections, color schemes, and lighting concepts while considering sustainability factors like LEED certification requirements. We present multiple options for client feedback and refinement.

Our Complete Design Services encompass all aspects from approved concept to construction documentation. We prepare detailed drawings, specifications, and permit applications while coordinating with engineering consultants. This comprehensive service includes furniture procurement, construction documentation, and tendering support to ensure seamless project execution.

Report
Commercial renovations on my studio were frustrated by mistakes on the blueprints; for example dimmable light fixtures were on the electrical plan without dimmable switches, which led to callbacks for the electricians and some items I had to fix myself. The wall placement was also out by about 6 making some furniture we planned to use not fit. Overall I found the designers charismatic, reasonably punctual, but not very attentive to the details.

I was lucky enough to have my new dental office, Meraki Dental designed by Natalie Lima and Emily Southall of Wolski Design.. They were absolutely professional while dealing with the project from space planning to completion. All the steps were clearly explained to me and they guided me through the entire process which was completed right on time. Natalie patiently listened to all my requests/ideas and explained to me why something has to be done the way it was. Even the tendering and construction was a breeze as I sat back and watched Natalie and her team in action. The final product is something
