About Us

WAKE Design + Architecture PLLC is a full-service studio practice founded by Nathan E. Minett, who believes design and architecture exist at the intersection of form and function, bridging the human experience with the physical world.

WAKE Development LLC
, founded by Steven Roberge, offers a hands-on approach to Owner's Representative and Project Management services. From selecting the right project team and managing the budget to overseeing construction site activities and ensuring all contracts and documentation are in order, WAKE Development ensures smooth project execution.

WAKE's diverse portfolio covers a wide range of project types, including multi-family and single-family residential, commercial, hospitality, and retail properties. This breadth of experience enables us to approach each project with a more holistic and comprehensive perspective.

 


 
 
 
  • You have a vision for your project, whether it's residential, commercial, hospitality, or retail. What you need is a design-build team that brings experience, creativity, commitment, and a keen attention to detail to expertly plan and deliver a space that is both functional and visually striking. At WAKE, we have the expertise to bring your dream project from concept to completion.

    Our diverse portfolio includes everything from designing a safe children's reading space for a Brooklyn nonprofit to creating an award-winning co-working space at Bowling Green with 98 offices, meeting rooms, and a community area. We've also completed a full renovation and expansion of a New York City townhouse.

    Our projects span both national and international scopes, including a home renovation in San Francisco, project management for a Miami store for a London-based boutique brand, and overseeing the construction of three flagship stores and a corporate office in South America for a global retailer.

    All of these projects were completed on time and on budget.

    At WAKE, whether you're seeking architectural services, an Owner's Representative, or both, we start each project with a collaborative exchange of ideas, ensuring we fully understand your needs, desires, and vision. By combining our expertise, we create a conceptual framework that reflects your identity and flawlessly executes that vision.

  • At WAKE, we are a team of individuals from diverse backgrounds, embracing and supporting all genders, races, and identities.

Our culture thrives on mutual respect, innovation, and a shared commitment to design excellence. We embrace diverse perspectives, which drive forward-thinking solutions and inspire creativity in every project. We also love including our clients in the process, fostering strong partnerships and ensuring that their vision is fully realized in the final design.

    We are a close-knit team of architects, designers, and professionals dedicated to each other’s growth and success. Our approach fosters open communication and collective problem-solving, enabling us to challenge the status quo and push creative boundaries. We understand the importance of work-life balance, recognizing that a well-supported and happy team achieves the best outcomes. For us, culture goes beyond what we do - it's about how we do it.
