What we’re built to support
  1. 01

    Kitchens, bathrooms & focused remodels

    Rework rooms that no longer fit: improve layout, storage, light, comfort, accessibility, and connection to the rest of the home. A focused remodel may include measured existing conditions, plan options, material direction, and coordination planning depending on scope.

    Additions, decks & outdoor rooms

    Add what is missing while respecting what already works. This may mean a bedroom, studio, better entry, covered deck, primary suite, or a more useful transition between inside and out.

    ADUs, guest spaces & compact homes

    Create a small, durable place for family, guests, rental income, work, or a simpler way of living. Compact plans reward careful thinking about every square foot, privacy, daylight, storage, access, and long-term flexibility.

    Discuss a small home

    Aging in place & long-term comfort

    Plan for easier movement, safer bathing, single-level living, better lighting, lower maintenance, and changes that support independence without making home feel institutional.

    Plan for the long term
  5. 05

    Property & project feasibility

    Get oriented before committing to a purchase, direction, or major expense. An early review can identify the public information, site questions, likely consultants, and regulatory topics that deserve attention. It is not a survey, engineering, legal opinion, or guarantee of approval.

    Start with feasibility
  6. 06

    Select small private tenant improvements

    Small private commercial remodels may be considered only when the requested work fits Whidbey Design's limited design-services scope. Any required architectural, engineering, or other licensed professional services must be separately arranged. Whidbey Design is not pursuing large commercial or public-sector projects.

Levels of service

Start where you are.

Some clients need an informed hour on site. Others need a defined design engagement with clear limits and deliverables. The right scope begins with understanding the project.

First conversation

A complimentary phone conversation about goals, location, stage, timing, and whether Whidbey Design appears to be a useful fit.

On-site consultation

A paid visit, with a one-hour minimum, to see the property and discuss priorities and next steps. Pricing and exact deliverables are confirmed beforehand.

Defined engagement

A written proposal for feasibility, concept design, planning drawings, or a tailored combination of design services appropriate to the work. If licensed architectural, engineering, or other professional services are required, that need is identified separately.

Not sure which service fits?

That is a good reason to talk.
