“Have you ever experienced walking into a space – and realizing that you have just been transported to someplace very special?” asks Brad Weesner. “This wonderful transformation is the very reason I love interior design.” Raised in Washington, D.C., the designer has always been surrounded by classicism, diplomacy, graciousness and the international climate that only the nation’s capital can provide. “Washington is one of the most beautiful cities in the world”, he says.

Clients appreciate the designer’s prior management experience in luxury hotels, and in residential construction and real estate. “It is daunting to put something so personal as your home in the hands of someone else, but when there is a common goal of good design, this always works beautifully and our clients have seen that the journey was worth it.”

The aspects that architecture can bring to a room, and the client’s desire for functionality are always the fundamental starting point in my work. To then create a remarkable interior is my ultimate goal”. This focus is true for the firm’s residential projects as well as hospitality and corporate projects. Recent work includes the historic theater - The Weinburg Center for the Performing Arts in Frederick MD, and the 60 year old landmark - Annie’s Paramount Steak House in Washington D.C. The designer’s residential projects include a custom 15,000 sq. ft. home and a contemporary and glamorous penthouse both located in Bethesda.

The use of original artwork, wonderful lighting, calming colors are the hallmark of Weesner’s design work. He has served on the board of the Frederick Arts Council and his projects have been published in “Spectacular Homes of Washington, D.C.” and "Shore Decor" by A. Rooney, The Washington Examiner, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and Spaces Magazine.

He's passionate about Dogs , Horses (English Riding), Sailing (mostly sloops) , Entertaining (Cooking, Wine and guests at home), The Art of Conversation (He slips into big words sometimes) , Fine Cars (Coach building actually), Mentoring & Developing others (think AA Sponsorship) and more.
