“If a designer’s doing specs in spreadsheets, I don’t know how they’re doing it... I don’t know how they sleep. It gets very complicated, and I don’t know how you keep up with revisions and rounds. I would say, sign on to DesignSpec.” — Larah Moravek, @dutcheastdesign
Interior design is already complex. Managing specs, revisions, and endless rounds shouldn’t be.
DesignSpec brings everything into one place, so you can focus on the design, not the chaos.
Side-by-side windows.
Manual SKU entry.
So. many. tabs.
Sound familiar?
If you’re on an interior designer still stuck in Excel, there’s a better way. Just ask the team at ROW01.
Meet DesignSpec, the only specification writing tool you’ll ever want to use again.

Dutch East Design introduces The Waymark, a reimagined adaptive reuse project in the heart of Chattanooga.
Originally built with a rich architectural history, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern hospitality destination that honors its past while creating a fresh experience for today’s traveler. From warm, layered interiors to inviting guest rooms and social spaces, every detail was designed to feel elevated, comfortable, and deeply connected.
The Waymark is a celebration of thoughtful reuse, proving that historic spaces can be reimagined into something entirely new while still retaining the stories that make them meaningful.

Even the smallest details matter in interior design projects.
This custom server station was carefully designed by @handwerk_design using DesignSpec to align seamlessly with the surrounding millwork at Wildflower NYC.
Every element, including the Arts and Crafts inspired hardware, was fully resolved ahead of fabrication, leaving no ambiguity in how the piece would be built.
📽 On site at Sir Henry’s Bar in NYC with Gregor Bugel, Founding Partner at @handwerk_design and Fiona Sanipelli, Cofounder of DesignSpec.
The vision? A layered space made up of smaller, distinct moments, each bar offering its own experience while still feeling unmistakably
Sir Henry’s. Cohesive, intentional, and full of character.
When it comes to bringing that vision to life, flexibility is everything. Handwerk turned to DesignSpec for a more dynamic, real-time approach, ditching static spreadsheets for a tool that evolves with the project.

Designing a rooftop bar in NYC is hard. Delivering a 455-item venue? Even harder.
At Bar Cima, located in the Grayson Hotel, NYC, Dutch East Design created a mezcaleria inspired by Mexican heritage. Deep soil tones, agave greens, and layered materials, bring the space to life all without cliché.
Behind the scenes: 455+ FF&E specs across 19 categories.
With DesignSpec, the team kept budgets aligned, linked specs seamlessly, and generated reports for every stakeholder, fast.
The result? A rooftop space that feels effortless, but was anything but.

In architecture and interior design, creativity has always been the foundation, but not always the focus. Roles like specification writing and the weight of manual data entry have historically pulled designers away from the work they’re meant to do.
Ruby Ramirez, Founder of Studio Ramirez and ROW01, speaks to a shift happening across the industry, where tools like DesignSpec take on the admin load, freeing designers to get back to designing.
Because in a creative industry, creativity shouldn’t be a side task, it should be the main event.
