As an interior designer, I found working with WDA on a residential remodel to be an efficient and collaborative experience. Sometimes the role of the interior designer and the architect overlap, and WDA are skilled at maintaining their vision while remaining open to ideas and developing the design to fulfill the client's needs. They are wonderful team players with a knowledgeable, experienced, and professional staff. Most importantly, our client felt confident during the process and is extremely happy with the results. I would highly recommend them to my clients in need of an architect in the future.

I have truly enjoyed working with William Duff. He is an incredible partner and team player with a keen design aesthetic. Through his close, personal interaction with the clients, he creates a great degree of confidence around the entire building process.
Working with talented, responsive and knowledgeable architects such as William Duff makes my job easier and enjoyable. I was so impressed by his demeanor and work ethic that I foresee many more joint projects with him the future!

Warmly integrated into the surrounding landscape, the Wheeler Residence personifies this William Duff Architects design as a true “indoor / outdoor” lifestyle experience. At NanaWall, we are extremely pleased that the architects chose a NanaWall Wood Framed Folding System WD66 to help bring their design concept to life. The door panels open wide to expose the outside in the kitchen / living room area, the master bathroom, and in the pool house. Years later, we still use this home as a beautiful example of how our product helps showcase timeless architectural design.

Having admired modern spaces featuring indoor-outdoor lifestyles in the San Francisco Chronicle by William Duff Architects, we were delighted to be the selected contractor for an artist studio. It is always a joy to build beautiful buildings, and this remains one of our favorites.

Commented: Brand name of French Doors are in the Master Bed Room?Thanks for your question! Most of the doors in this house were created by NanaWall. I'm not sure if they supplied the French Doors, but it looks like they offer a similar product on their website.
