About

Watkins Design Works is a West Virginia-based commercial interior design and green building consulting firm.The triple bottom line of sustainability is inherent in everything we do: environment-equity-economy, eachconsidered in equal parts.

By embracing an integrative design process, where designers, architects, engineers, contractors, andall stakeholders are involved in a design project early and often, we are able to connect the built environmentwith the natural environment, so that quality of life is improved for the users, and local habitat isregenerated. Economic savings are realized through this early decision-making process, rather than diminishingvalue through traditional "value engineering" at the end of the design process.

We provide overall guidance, eco-charette facilitation and in-depth knowledge of the LEED Green BuildingRating System for clients interested specifically in green building. We also offer all facets of interior designservices for architects and contractors, as well as commercial, tenant, government, education, healthcare,hospitality, retail and military clients. From programming through construction administration, from conceptualcolor palettes to custom millwork detailing, Watkins Design Works will be involved with you throughout the entireprocess, designing functional and beautiful interiors that support your needs, your brand and your vision.
