Arthur P. Ziegler, one of the founders of the movement we call Historic Renovation said, “You cannot hang a building on a wall like a painting, you have to find a new use for it.” With such a vast array of buildings already existing, we find great satisfaction in helping client’s breathe life back into singular structures and entire neighborhoods. We believe in it so much, we renovated the W.A. Dye Chili Factory in Wichita’s Old Town area for our own offices.
Our hearts want to save old buildings, but in fact it is the economic reality that wins the day. Our experienced team keeps up to date with the very latest in economic and tax incentives and guides those who wish to find new uses for old structures. Thinking of a project? Let’s let our hearts and our minds work together. Eaton Hotel “I believe that the completion of this project was due, in large measure, to the commitment and dedication of the four partners and to their willingness to do whatever it took. WDM was one of those wonderful partners and I recommend them, without reservation, as experts in their field who would make a superb partner in the restoration or redevelopment of old/historic sites.” Joan B. Cole Former City of Wichita Council Member Former Advisor to the National Trust for Historic Preservation Plymouth “After a devastating fire, church leaders were determined to restore our historic sanctuary to its original 1920s ambience. WDM was selected as the project architect because of our confidence in their reputation as a firm that specialized in the restoration of landmark structures. The final outcome was authentic in every respect and the worship space was enhanced in ways that greatly improved the functionality and beauty of our sanctuary.” Steve Wood Building Committee Chair Plymouth Congregational Church U.S. Courthouse “The Federal Courthouse in Wichita is recognized throughout the system for its historic character and attention to detail. In a time when many court buildings are being torn down or abandoned as outdated, the Wichita building is a restored treasure made totally serviceable with up-to-date systems and facilities, thanks to the efforts of WDM Architects through a variety of projects over the years.” Cy Houston Project Manager Government Services Administration WDM We could toot our own horn here, but why not come by our office sometime when you find yourself in Wichita’s Old Town and see for yourself. Perhaps it is the sophisticated yet casual atmosphere of our own office that has played a role in WDM being consistently nominated by the Wichita Business Journal as one of the best places to work. Come in, sit down, and let’s collaborate on your next project. |
