You have a vision for a project - whether it's a residential, commercial, hospitality, or retail proposition. You need a design-build team with the experience, creativity, commitment, and attention to detail to expertly plan and deliver a space that's both highly functional and visually compelling. At WAKE, we have what it takes to move your dream project from concept to completion.
WAKE Design + Architecture PLLC, is a comprehensive studio practice founded by Nathan E. Minett, who believes design and architecture exist between the boundaries of form and function, dwelling in that which is human while grounded in the physical world.
WAKE Development LLC, founded by Steven Roberge, provides a hands-on approach to the Owner's Representative and Project Management services, from matching clients with the correct project team and managing the budget to oversee all construction site activity ensuring that all contracts and other paperwork are in order.
WAKE's combined portfolio spans an uncommonly broad spectrum of project types and perspectives, including multi-family and single-family residential, commercial, hospitality, and retail properties. This variety in experience and perspective allows us to bring a more comprehensive approach to each project.
Our past projects run the gamut from the conceptualization and creation of a safe children's reading space for a Brooklyn nonprofit… to an award-winning co-working space at Bowling Green, encompassing 98 offices, meeting rooms and an adjoining community space… to a full gut renovation and expansion of a New York City townhouse.
Our experience is both national and international in scope, ranging from a home renovation and expansion in San Francisco… to project management of a Miami store for a London-based boutique brand… to management and oversight of 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.
Whether you need architectural services, an Owner's Representative, or both, at WAKE, each project begins with the open exchange of ideas and informed analysis of the client's needs, desires, and vision. We bring both halves of our company's combined expertise to the table to develop a conceptual framework that best reflects the client's identity and then execute on that vision.

It's essential to find someone you trust when dealing with the built environment and seeking design services. Equally, we must collaborate with clients who value the high-quality services we offer and understand the benefits of working with someone who prioritizes design sensibilities in conjunction with your project's functional requirements from start to finish. It's also essential that your project is of a size and stylistic fit for the firm at a cost-effective price for you.
To determine whether your project might be a good fit for the studio, please briefly describe the scope, timing, location, and other relevant details in the form. If we can help, WAKE will reply with some additional information to get us started, including scheduling a consultation to review the project in detail.

To better tell our story, relate to our clients, and express our ideas, architects sketch, write, and explore the built environment through various mediums. Hopefully, these unmediated experiences bring us closer to the people we interact with on a personal and professional level while providing a platform for our employees to explore, share, and develop.
We hope you enjoy these sketches, thoughts, words, and talks which range from the professional to the personal as we observe and interact with the built world around us.
*and sometimes when we’re unable to think or express ourselves, we simply draw our hand.
