WE ARE SKILLED BUILDERS & CREATIVE THINKERS
Our story
We met at BCIT (cabinetmaking/joinery) in 2001 and instantly felt connected due to our art and design backgrounds. We enjoyed one upping each other creatively while exploring our new woodworking skills. We continued to grow and learn for a number of years, working separately at various high end custom woodworking and millwork shops in Vancouver like Intempo Interiors, Straight Line Designs, Boelling Smith Design and Doug Lane Furniture.
By 2006 we were ready to start our own business and be more flexible while creating time for our new young family. We developed a life/work balance on which we have built our business. In an increasingly big, fast, automated world, we build true personal connections along with our work.
Watt Wrks remains a small shop where the whole process is realized with care, impeccable attention to detail and in our own hands. We have worked on a wide variety of custom projects over the years with local designers, architects, artists and home owners. We would love to take your ideas and carefully make them into a reality!
