Ireland House: WDA’s architectural design was driven by the concept of a “Shared Hearth” which forms a focal, unifying element within the scheme. Warm wood paneling along with additional soffit details create a visual shared hearth that can be experienced throughout the workplace.

Ireland House: Warm wood paneling extends from the reception area and flexible assembly space to the natural light-filled work zones. Color and lighting are used as wayfinding tools to give each space individuality yet center people’s focus as they move through the open space.

Lincoln Park Steps: Featuring tile art design by Aileen Barr, this project—envisioned by Friends of Lincoln Park founders, Anna Yatroussis and Meg Autry, and made possible with funding from the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, a substantial gift from nearby Katherine Delmar Burke School, support from the community and pro bono professional services—breathed new life into the long-neglected beaux arts-inspired steps at the edge of Lincoln Park in San Francisco.

A Mano: Working with the angularity of an existing building shell, WDA created a new restaurant for the company Back of the House by creatively programming functions—for both back of house (open exhibition kitchen) and front of house (indoor and outdoor dining areas, plus bar area)—to immerse dining patrons in the cooking process, as well as the vibrancy of the surrounding cultural area.
