DW/B: Design Within Studio – Design Beyond Lab
Founded by architect Candace Maloney, DW/B is a Maryland-based architecture and research studio dedicated to community-led, sustainable design. With a focus on adaptive reuse, mixed-use, residential, and commercial projects, the firm integrates local materials and modern functionality to create resilient, inclusive spaces. Candace’s Caribbean roots and deep belief in community stewardship shape DW/B’s mission to make thoughtful architecture accessible to all. A lecturer at the University of Maryland, she also led design efforts for the National Endowment for the Arts’ Citizens Institute on Rural Design, advancing place-based design through collaboration and engagement until funding for that program ended this year.
