WE+ Architecture & Design is a husband-and-wife-led studio specializing in residential architecture and interiors. Founders Will & Emmanuela create sophisticated yet livable homes, rich in materiality and tailored to each client’s lifestyle. They foster a collaborative and open design process—guided by dialogue, exploration, and a deep respect for their clients’ vision.
Their work is rooted in a shared belief that design should be both idea-driven and deeply personal. Every project begins with curiosity and conversation, evolving through thoughtful analysis, iteration, and creative problem-solving. With a global design sensibility and a passion for details, Will & Emmanuela draw on diverse influences to shape spaces that feel timeless.
Will Goethe
Partner, Lead Architect
Will brings a strategic, systems-driven approach to design rooted in clarity, collaboration, and problem-solving. With a background in architecture and construction, he’s as comfortable on-site with a builder as he is sketching a concept in the studio. His process is shaped by a deep respect for craft and detail, and a belief that beautiful design emerges when function and form are in harmony.
Will studied Architecture at SCAD and honed his skills working on high-end residential projects across the Northeast before co-founding WE+ with Emmanuela. His work balances rigor and restraint, often guided by materiality, proportion, and the sequencing of space. He thrives in early conceptual phases, helping clients uncover the core idea that drives each home—and then seeing it through with precision and intent.
Emmanuela Martini
Partner, Design Director
Emmanuela leads the design vision for WE+ across both architecture and interiors. With her M.Arch from Parsons, she brings a holistic, cross-disciplinary approach to each project—balancing spatial form, materiality, and lived experience. Her work is deeply influenced by the clarity and warmth of Brazilian modernism, where simplicity of form meets richness of texture and light.
She approaches design as a layered narrative, considering not just how spaces look but how they feel—how they move, age, and are inhabited over time. As Design Director, she guides projects from concept to completion, ensuring coherence and intention across every detail. Her process is rooted in curiosity and conversation, shaping environments that are elegant yet grounded, modern yet deeply personal.
