“Ron Brenner's portfolio displayed a wide variety of great architecture from residential to commercial. He has the education and experience that I seek. He's a great source on costs in a project. I haven't hired anyone yet for our remodel.”

“Chris had some really great ideas for our home remodel. She got me thinking outside the box. She is very easy to work with. I would use her again!”

“I hired Jeffrey with Inspire Architects to help me design a 3-season porch. He meet with my clients, answered all their questions. Design a porch and deck to meet all their needs and stayed under budget. It was easy to work with Jeffrey. I would hire him again. Alan Johnson Alan Johnson Construction LLC”

“Jeff designed a new residential home with us in 2012. He worked with us to create our dream home and did a wonderful job listening to us to bring our vision to life.”

“My husband and I are working with Jon to design our forever home. We are about 90 percent through design development. Jon has been great throughout the process. I really feel like we’re a team and he’s been able to develop our ideas into a home that fulfills all our needs and embodies our values and aesthetics. We want a home that is healthy and functional but not oversized. Jon is very knowledgeable about healthy building materials and was able to design within our principles and I feel we have everything we need and more. The design is efficient and every inch is intentional. I am so happy with our plan so far and highly recommend Jon. He’s professional, creative, and incredibly detail-oriented.”

“The team at M.A Architecture is a dream to work with. Their experience and creativity shine through in even the tiniest of details. They listen and respond well to their customers unique and ever changing needs. They handle large and small project with grace. I highly recommend hiring them for your next project.”

“David and his team provide an outstanding level of expertise and service. We hired them to help us figure out how to slowly renovate our 100 year old home, and they helped us identify what was important to us, develop a mission statement for how we approach renovations, and then they collaborated with a team of contractors and vendors to put together a comprehensive book describing our home, its current condition, what needs repairs, and how much those repairs would cost. They also included several options for the areas that we are interested in remodeling down the road. We have also used them to pick out and install window treatments that respect the heritage of the house. They are certainly not the cheapest option out there, but they cannot be beat in terms of excellence and expertise!”

“David Strand delivered above and beyond our expectations, not only from a design standpoint, but also in terms of service and expertise. He has a unique eye for design and an uncompromising standard for quality. We would highly recommend David and his team to anyone, and would absolutely choose to work with him if the opportunity approached again.”

“We just completed construction on our new home in the White Bear Lake, MN area. We had been looking for a tear down opportunity on a nearby lake for a couple years, and when a property presented itself, we quickly sprung into action. We have identified our builders in advance (Sustainable9) and based on our vision for the home, they introduced us to Unfold Architecture. Their previous projects, both out West and here in MN, fit the mountain modern/Minnesota modern style we were seeking. From the get go, the team at Unfold were amazing partners. Through conversations and inspiration photos we shared on Houzz, they took our long wish list (maximized lake views, lower level walkout, modern but welcoming, mid-century influences) and designed the perfect house. Their houses are striking architecturally but also extremely livable and functional. They use state of the art CAD models to help you envision what the home would look like. It’s remarkable how close the house turned out in respect to the early renderings. And throughout the process, they were collaborative partners, incorporating feedback from both us and our builders, presenting us initially with several options and then honing in on our chosen design. We could not be more pleased with the process (even in the midst of Covid challenges) or the end result, which is truly the dream home we envisioned.”

“The firm visited my home and spent a few hours reviewing the addition design submitted by another firm. She was amazing. She measured everything and then sat down to draw. In only a few short hours she had corrected all of the problems in the design and made so many improvements to it that I could not keep track. We were able to incorporate most of the changes without significantly increasing the cost of the project and we ended up with a house that is on a whole different scale than the one the original addition plan would have provided. If we had more time and they had more availability, we would have hired this firm to design and supervise construction of the entire project.”
