MARIETTA, Ga., and SAN MATEO, Calif. — Banko Design has acquired Warner Design Associates (WDA), a senior-living focused interior design firm based in San Mateo. The studio will be renamed Warner Design Associates – A BD Studio.
Over the past 30 years, Cynthia and Mark Warner, the founders of WDA, built the interior design and procurement business in the senior living industry. Looking to pass the baton, WDA sought out Banko Design to take ownership of the company.
Banko Design, a full-service interior design firm located in Marietta, will continue to specialize in mid-level to luxury senior living new builds, multifamily and boutique hospitality.
Red Pen Procurement, Banko Design’s purchasing agency, manages and processes all of the studios’ procurement, warehousing and installations and has expanded to include procurement on behalf of other design studios, architecture firms and owners.
