“I have built seven houses for various reasons over the years and am happy to report that my experience with Grant and Grant was the most enjoyable I have had. We converted a garage into a guest house and I now spend 99% of my time in the guest house! Those guys are first class in every department. They listen, they communicate, and they meet deadlines. I would use them again in a minute. CF”

“Carlton Architecture has a great team and are a pleasure to work with. They are easy to communicate with and easy to work with. They are knowledgeable about architecture, design and construction whether it's new construction or a remodel.”

“We came to Brent with some pretty specific ideas but no understanding of how to put it all together to make a house! Brent was patient and guided us through the project and along with his associate James, helped bring our vision to reality. I'm not very good at envisioning a 3-dimensional project such as a house but Brent and James were able to create computer plans where we could remove walls, walk through rooms and alter roofing. He also very expertly guided our project through the historic review process and managed to get approval while we were in the midst of selling our home in PA and weren't really able to participate. His sense of humor and ability to work with our builder and the Historic Resources Commission has resulted in an almost-finished beautiful home!”

“Toby Witte worked closely withe us to design the modern home of our dreams. We came to Toby with a set budget and he did an excellent job of accommodating our budget while also keeping the important aspects of the design in play. Toby has a wonderfully creative mind and is not afraid to design a plan which is forward thinking while also based in traditional concepts used by his predecessors such as Bauhaus and Frank Lloyd Wright. Toby does a great job of considering the environment in building a "green" home while also taking into consideration how to incorporate elements such as sun and moonlight into the interior of the home. His use of the many windows, strategically placed, has been a source of pleasure for us as we enjoy beams of sun and moonlight daily. Toby goes above and beyond to ensure the home is structurally sound and to ensure that proper drainage is top of mind. Toby's understanding of modern style is paramount is his design and we were thrilled with the customizations.”

“Our company worked with Retro+Fit Design on an Arts & Craft custom home in 2010. It was a great experience working with this company. They design not only a beautiful home, but an incredibly functional one as well. Jason Weil was able to design an almost 4,000 square foot home on a very challenging small lot. I would highly recommend him, and look forward to working with him in the future. Richard King Brookstone Builders Inc.”

“Maria Rusafova's skills Include her professionalism, her thoroughness, being on top of the planning and construction process. But what I liked the most about my experience with her is that she gets you and respects your vision of a house of your dreams or whatever project you request from her”

“Alice Dodson designed a house for us located on mountain property in Buncombe County, NC, in 2016. We love the house plan she designed for us and recommend her without reservation! She met every deadline she set for herself, often completing ahead of her self-imposed deadlines. She is very creative and extremely meticulous in her designs. She exceeded our expectations based on work we have seen by other architects in this area. She collaborates skillfully and willingly with other building professionals in the process. She has many years of experience and you can see this in her work product. Her fees are fair and she is very easy to discuss fees, deadlines and design decisions with. She is very knowledgeable about all parts of the building process that are not necessarily a part of her architectural design. She is very cost-conscious on behalf of her client--frequently advising us of ways to save money that we had not considered.”

“The project was a bathroom remodel disaster that SDM Designs took over and made into a place of beauty, as well as safety and security. In short, Mr. DerMargosian was a lifesaver. He took over the languishing and ill-conceived project, redesigned it in a way that not only made practical sense but was beautiful; hired wonderful, skilled professionals who got the job done within the time specified and within budget, and held my hand through the whole project. He was there to ensure quality every step of the way. He attended to the infrastructure damage and problems with as much concern as the aesthetic issues. This was a relatively small project in the scheme of things, but he gave it his exquisite attention and was always professional, always kind and helpful, always available for contact. He's a magician with designing spaces of exceptional flow and originality, with an uncanny ability to elevate his clients' ideas to spaces of surpassing beauty. I would recommend him to everyone - a dream to work with, sensitive, caring, professional, intensely creative, with years of experience both designing and compiling a team of professional workmen to execute his designs. I've seen a lot of his work and am always bowled over by his aesthetic vision, his creativity, his knowledge of materials and possibilities, and mostly, the extraordinary beauty of his creations.”

“The company I work for recently hired ACM Design to redesign a small office space into a room for client meetings. Our goal was to mimic the atmosphere of a residential space from within the walls of an office building. From the very beginning of the design process, Amy was very responsive and helped greatly in navigating our needs into what was realistic for the space. With less than 200 square feet of space to work with, we had quite the challenge, but ACM Design's creative use of space and furnishings helped our project to become a beautiful setting where clients feel at home, rather than feeling like they are in a bland and sterile office. In the end, our project finished on time and on budget and we owe many thanks to the team at ACM Design for their guidance, support and expertise. We highly recommend Amy and the ACM Design team for any residential or commercial project.”

“We wasted 6 months with another architect before finding Vellum and we could not be happier. The requirements for our home were very unique and Mark was wonderful about listening and designing to our needs. He is extremely responsive and willing to collaborate. We were able to achieve a very contemporary and interesting design while still staying within our budget. Mark and his team are a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them!”
