About Woodworks

Woodworks is an architecture firm based in Reston, VA designing residential and commercial projects in Virginia, DC and Maryland. Woodworks works with clients from the initial design concepts to delivering full architectural drawing sets.

Many architects don't have field experience on construction sites to understand how the design they are creating on paper will impact costs and timelines. I pride myself on - not just being an architect that sits behind a screen and creates drawings - but one that daily visits job sites seeing how my architectural drawings translate to the field to make sure what I am designing is feasible, realistic and aesthetically pleasing.

Services

Design Consultation

Let's meet to discuss your project and brainstorm what you're dreaming of. Let's take the ideas in your head and put them on paper. I can tell you what's possible, provide 3D design ideas and a preliminary budget for your project.

Architecture & Construction Documents

This is the next step in the design phase to take 3D renderings to a full architectural drawing set that is required to receive a building permit to construct your project. I provide construction permit drawings and will work with the county to get the building permit for your job.

Onsite Project Management

I take on a limited number of jobs per year where I manage the project onsite from start to finish. These are special jobs that I worked with the client on the initial design and architectural drawings and are determined on a case-by-case basis.
