David: Turning Vision into Reality with Professionalism
A very sincere thank you Adam for posting such a generous review on my behalf, I really appreciate it. Working with you over the years has been a fantastic experience for me and I am truly grateful for your openness to my ideas and your own creative vision. As a team, I think we were able to collaborate really well together and the end results have been stunning. For any Designer, having a client trust them with multiple projects over the years is truly the greatest compliment and for this I am also very grateful. Thank you again for the many opportunities in which to grow and develop my design capabilities and our collaborations together which helped to create a home and property that you and the family can enjoy for years to come. Looking forward to the next one, in the meantime, take care and all the best!
Many thanks Simon for taking the time to post this review, I know you guys are knee deep in construction right now, so it means that much more to me that you found the time. You and Meghan were a pleasure to work with; you were both exceptionally organized from the start and had a very clear vision of what you were looking to accomplish. Both of these elements combined to help this project move so effortlessly and efficiently. I love what you guys are doing to the house and can’t wait to see the finished build. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything. Thanks again and take care!
A very sincere thank you Christine and Ben, for taking the time to post such a kind and generous review. You guys were amazing to work with, your relaxed nature and easy going personalities really made the entire process and experience that much nicer. I am so happy that everything went as smoothly as it did and we were able to expedite the permits. I can’t wait to see the finished space, especially the serving counter that will combine the new kitchen with the converted garage area. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need anything else from me. Thanks again and all the best!
Thank you so much Brent for taking the time to post this review, it means a great deal to me. Working with you and Jackie over the years and having had the opportunity to collaborate on your forever home is something that I will always be grateful for. It’s always nice to see stages of the project progress and be completed and I love how living in the same house evolves and feels new again with the completion of each stage. You guys were an absolute pleasure to work with and I welcome the chance to do it again in the future. Take care and all the best!
Home Extention - garage with rooms, bathrooms above.
A sincere thank you Eileen for posting such a generous and kind review. I know you guys are juggling a lot right now, so it means that much more to me that you found the time. You and Ken were such a pleasure to work with and I am thrilled that we were able to optimize that side of the house and address so many of your needs in the process. To go from an open side yard that was disorganized and unsightly, to a full integral garage with a guest room, bathroom and study above, I think really helped to maximize the property (and its resale value) and will certainly give everyone a little more space as the kids get older. I can’t wait to see the finished build and please do reach out once it’s completed. Thanks again for the opportunity to collaborate, take care and all the best!
Home addition and alterations design
A sincere thank you John for taking the time to post such a generous HomeStars review. I know that the project is under construction and that you guys have a lovely new baby to care for as well, so it means that much more to me that you found the time and energy to post this on my behalf. You and Tina were wonderful to work with; you were pragmatic yet flexible and were clear with regards to your needs for the project. All of this helped us move through things very efficiently and really contributed to how smoothly the entire process was. I also greatly appreciated your perspective on things and as an Engineer your professionalism and attention to detail. I think we made a great team and I am very excited to see the final outcome when construction is completed. Thanks again for the opportunity to collaborate and take care!
Architectural Drawings for Full House Reno
A sincere thank you Laura for the kind and generous review, I really appreciate you taking the time to post it. Working with you and Tim on this project was a pleasure, you are both so relaxed and easy going and I think that the three of us collaborated very well together. I can’t wait to see how the new third floor addition integrates with the remainder of the existing building. I am excited to see how seamless the exterior of the building will look and whether or not you will be able to tell that the third floor is in fact new. I love the idea of renovating buildings in a way that keeps the original character and blends the new with old seamlessly, and I think your house will be a fantastic example of this. In addition, I am excited to see all of the new interior space and the many tweaks we came up with for each floor level. Overall, I think the house will be stunning and I look forward to seeing it once complete. Take care and all the best!
Thank you Sheryl for such a wonderful review, I really appreciate you taking the time to post it. Working with you on your house has been such a fantastic experience, I am always blown away as to how different a space can feel when you remove a few walls and optimize sightlines and flow. The transformation of your ground floor from what it was to what it is now is remarkable, it’s hard to believe that the overall dimensions of the house have not changed, considering how much larger and more open everything feels. Collaborating has been so much fun, I love the energy you bring to every meeting and your openness to my suggestions and ideas. I think we make a great team and I can’t wait to see the finished product, and hear all about the first dinner party you host once you're back in the house. Thanks again and all the best!
A very sincere thank you Sara for posting such a kind and generous review on my behalf. I know how busy you and Alex are, so this means a great deal to me. Although I very much appreciate everything you have said regarding my abilities and approach, I would give more credit to you and Alex for having the capacity to absorb so much information quickly and make smart decisions from it. Long story short, I think we worked great together and the end product is a testament to this. I think the proposed additions to the home will truly unlock its potential and deliver the space and functionality your growing family needs. I can’t wait to see the finished build!
Finally and to echo your review, please rest assured that I will continue to be available should you need me during the construction stage, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you think I can be of service. Thanks again and take care!
