Working collaboratively Willa Work develops deep and thoughtful architectural and interior solutions for our clients. Our work scales from the smallest measurable details to the overarching broader more conceptual strokes.
Our design methodologies are derived from integrating clients evolving needs. Not just designing for now but thinking critically about the clients future. This concept reverberates into everything designed. Our passion is to provide a proverbial garden in which the client can flourish in.
Founder and main designer Grey graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from Reed College and then went on to study architecture at both Columbia University in New York and Sci-Arc. During her studies she also attended the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Grey is an avid traveler having taken as many opportunities to travel as possible. Her passport is up to date.
Living for 10 years in Los Angeles and working for well-respected architectural and interior design firms, Grey opened her first studio Foundation for Architecture and Design in 2017. In 2021 Grey changed the name to Willa Work after her daughter's middle name Willa.
Mid-2020 Grey moved with her family to the quaint Bay-area town of Mill Valley, where the Redwoods meet the sea. She continues to work for clients up and down the West Coast and beyond.
When she is not working away in the studio, Grey is found in the garden with her three children building whatever they can dream up. Being a plant enthusiast She also volunteers as a docent for the San Francisco Botanical Garden.
We look forward to building what you can dream up.
note: We are happy to assist you in major remodels, ADU, commercial projects and new construction. However, we are not purely a drafting/permitting service. We do drafting and permitting alongside our design work as a complete project. If you are looking for only drafting and permitting services please look into other Pros on this platform.
