VARINA W. (VIKI) WOOSTER
Creator Of Quality Home Designs, With A Passion For Excellence.
WHO AM I?
When you purchase a stock plan through a publisher, the designer often remains anonymous. Wouldn’t you like to know who designed your home?
My Career
I am a Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD) (not an architect). Over my career, accolades have included receiving several national design awards and serving as a judge for that national awards program three times. My dedication to the profession led me to serve at several levels of leadership in the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD), and I was the first woman to serve as National President (2012 – 2014). In 2020 I received the great honor of becoming a member of the AIBD College of Fellows. In 2021 I completed the Sustainable Homes Professional course through the Earth Advantage program.
Me
I love to laugh, I love my family, I love the outdoors, and I love to have adventurous fun. The pictures? Of course there’s the necessary business head shot. Then you have the unvarnished, un-made-up me, a little older, a lot grayer, grinning as I get ready to go skydiving on a special birthday.
After many years of custom work, I have phased into creating ‘stock plans’. These are home designs with pre-drawn construction documents (plans) which you buy online. My stock plans continue the consideration that has always guided my designs: understanding how real people live in real homes.
— That means each stock plan is given the same care as any custom project.
When a structural engineer refers you to a potential client, as they have, or when a tradesperson in the field does the same, that is a huge compliment
— That means my designs consider how the house can be constructed durably and efficiently, and that my plans are well-drawn, and easily understood.
I specialize in right-sized homes that address energy efficiency, occupant health, sustainable practices, and long-term livability.
— That means your home will be comfortable, functional, durable, beautiful (of course), and will be the best I can make it
