Christa Kerrigan, Principal and Director of Business Development, and Robert Lyon, Principal and Technical Director, came into corporate ownership in January of 2019. The WSA leadership team also includes five additional Principals. Reputation and Experience WSA’s nationally recognized studio of passionate architects designs spaces for education, community, worship, government, commercial, multi-family and senior housing, and healthcare clients. Extensive knowledge and experience in the sectors we serve, combined with creative compassion for our clients, enable us to produce award-winning architecture that has been recognized locally and nationally. Our understanding of urban architecture – including historic preservation and adaptive reuse – and our expertise with renovation, preservation and tax credit projects make us the architect-of-choice for clients building on a mission. Process and Approach Flexibility, adaptability and sustainability are hallmarks of lasting architecture. At WSA, we help clients make efficient use of their space by providing flexible and adaptable designs that allow them to elegantly accommodate unanticipated changes. Our internal teams, comprising professionals with diverse skills, varied perspectives and critical thinking, work hand-inhand with clients and their stakeholders to leverage our own extensive knowledge base as well as those of specialists. And we coordinate with developers, builders, and community leaders, guiding the development process through necessary approvals, to ensure our designs are efficient, sustainable, responsible, and of course cost-effective. Design Philosophy We believe good design reflects the client’s personality, culture, and purpose. Each project should express the client’s distinct character and should be built on an in-depth understanding of their vision for and intended use of the space. Our work is also inspired by context, creating environments that are woven into the fabric of the community and serve the end-users. As such, we aim to make your vision timeless, while promoting sound environmental stewardship. Flexibility, adaptability and sustainability are hallmarks of lasting architecture.

WORSHIP & PERFORMANCE
BAY AREA CHURCH ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND
DESIGNING SPACES FOR A HIGHER PURPOSE For faith-based organizations, creating spaces that strengthen the connections with their community (both inside and outside the physical structure) and that flex to changing worship needs while serving as an extension of their ministry is paramount. The changing landscape of worship facilities can mean adapting non-traditional spaces, blending technology with traditional worship environments, or creating spaces from housing to community centers that support the broader community within the context of ministering to the entire community. WSA design spaces that reflect the personality and culture of each ministry and serve the individual needs of the community. We have helped over 200 churches across the United States re-imagine their use of space as a tool to help their ministry advance its vision. Our Worship practice comprises multiple design professionals who have earned designations as Certified Church Consultants. We understand the nuances of various worship styles and denominations and are recognized leaders within the faith community. Our professionals are frequent speakers on design trends at national conferences and serve on the Board of the National Association of Church Design Builders. We are experienced consensus-builders and leverage our deep experience in this sector to help reduce stress levels for leadership and ensure a smooth design-build process.
