THE STUDIO / SINCE 2015

WDCA studio: design, imagery and a shared vision

WDCA studio brings together interior design, architectural visualization and visual communication. Based in Palencia, Spain, we work with clients and collaborators on Spanish and international projects, with creative direction connecting every discipline.

A studio built around connected disciplines

Founded in 2015, WDCA creates spaces with identity and communicates their potential with clarity. The work connects the sensitivity of interior design with the precision of architectural imagery and the language of visual communication.

We consider how a space is used, how it is experienced and how it is presented. This perspective carries a consistent intention from the first idea through materials, lighting and the images that explain it. Each commission has its own context: the place, the client and the people who will use it.

A multidisciplinary team, a coherent direction

The WDCA team works with an extensive network of collaborators across disciplines. Interior design, architecture, 3D visualization and audiovisual production are coordinated around each project’s needs. This collaboration brings specialist perspectives together while preserving the identity of the work.

Creative direction defines the approach and maintains a dialogue between the people involved. We agree scope, deliverables and review stages so that decisions are clear and the client can take part throughout development.
