“Working with Mr. Taeik was one of the best decisions we made! His passion for his craft is truly exceptional, and he approached our project with the same care and dedication as if he were designing his own home. He didn’t simply create a house—he thoughtfully designed a beautiful, warm home that genuinely reflects who we are. The space feels both refined and welcoming, with an outstanding level of detail evident throughout. Since moving in, our lifestyle has been elevated, and we take immense pride in our elegant surroundings. We are deeply grateful for his vision, creativity, and unwavering commitment to excellence.”

“Xiomara and the team at Paredes-Grube were a pleasure to work with during the renovation of our turn-of-the-century home. We were specifically looking for an architect with experience preserving the charm of older houses, and several neighborhood recommendations pointed us directly to Xiomara. We felt we were in good hands from the initial consultation through the design process and the completion of the construction documents. Their recommended network of contractors and kitchen designers was excellent; the professionals we chose did such a beautiful job that we could not be happier with the result. At our initial consultation, Xiomara listened closely to our vision and asked insightful questions about our lifestyle and how we planned to use the renovated spaces. We truly appreciated the thoughtfulness of her approach and her focus on functional design. We iterated on concept drawings until we were happy with the proposed layout. At each step, Xiomara explained in detail why she designed things a certain way or why certain requests were not feasible or recommended. The flow of the house now makes perfect sense; the rooms were planned to maximize every square foot, even accounting for future furniture placement during the earliest design phases. The detailed design documents followed, including all side elevations, which we refined further. Xiomara and her team were always responsive to our revisions. They were knowledgeable about projected costs and town regulations, and they were incredibly patient as we explored every possible design option. As a result, we are confident that we ended up with the best possible design for our needs. One area for improvement—which may already be addressed for more recent clients—would be the inclusion of 3D renderings. While we worked primarily from 2D elevations, we believe 3D models would have helped us grasp the geometry of the additions more easily and allowed for even faster decision-making. Finally, the construction documents were completed without any major issues. When a few revisions became necessary due to unforeseen structural conditions and town official requests, the team delivered them with a very quick turnaround.”

“We had the more amazing experience working with Space & Mark. Hayk is an exceptional architect whose precision, creativity, and deep understanding of space transformed our vision into reality. He designed a home that is not only beautiful but also incredibly functional and timeless. Hayk has a rare ability to balance aesthetics with practicality — every layout decision feels purposeful and perfectly suited to how we live. His calm, thoughtful approach made the entire process smooth and collaborative. Working with Karen (Interior Designer) has been one of the most rewarding parts of building our home. From the very first meeting, she truly saw us — our taste, our lifestyle, the feeling we wanted our home to have — and she wove all of that into her beautiful vision with such grace. Karen has an eye for details that most people would never even think of, yet those little touches are what make our home feel so special and so “us.” What touched us most was how deeply they cared… not just about the design & layout, but about making sure we felt heard and happy every step of the way. Walking through our finished home, we’re reminded of their heart, creativity, and dedication in every room. We couldn’t be more grateful for the love and thoughtfulness they poured into our home.”
