Our commitment to sustainable design practices ensures that every project we undertake not only enhances your surroundings but also minimizes its environmental impact.
Early on, as a builder, Wayne noticed potential mistakes occuring between the designed environment and the actual built environment. By understanding this vital relationship between the contractor and designer/architect, Wayne is able to pursue standards of excellence not typical with other designer – architect – contractor engagements.

I engaged WayneTruaxDesigns for a design consultation and it was a rewarding and educating experience. Wayne was able to listen to my needs and vision, and in turn was able to feedback innovative ideas and suggestions for us as a family to reflect on and discuss. Moving our project forward, I will come back to Wayne for the next phase of our design-into-building phase. Could not be more pleased with Wayne’s service to date.
Wayne Truax is the best designer you could hope for. He was the builder of our home and the designer of our workshop and studio. He is extremely knowledgeable about best building practices and integrates these into his designs. He helped us navigate very complicated environmental site requirements. He has a keen sense of form and function and pays close attention to lovely aesthetic details in the finishing and carpentry. We found him to be an expert communicator and he consistently demonstrated honesty and integrity. Both our home and our workshop/studio exceeded our highest expectations because of his vision and commitment to excellence.
Dear Wayne,
Thank you for all your great ideas, creativity, and construction counselling over the years. We really appreciate it and your patience.The end result is amazing – people are blown away by your design.
