Testimonials

“I’m sure (my wife) told you how thrilled we are with the house. Your design has made it really something beautiful from every exterior vantage point.  Your extraordinary vision of incorporating a “silo” effect for the staircase has made it a truly innovative structure that never fails to impress anyone who sees it.  Your interior detailing only adds to the marvelous “barn” effect. Your exceptional creative use of limited space to provide three bedrooms and the family/play rooms and eating area has made it a place our children love to come to, which was of course the whole idea. In short, you did a fantastic job which we will always be grateful.”  -Allen Rosenshine

“Our great good fortune was to find an architect who saw all this as a challenge and who funneled his great creative energies into the design.  We are delighted with the result.  The “new house” is functional and energy-efficient, but more, it is a dynamic work of art.  I think even if we become deaf, dumb, and blind, we can live in this friendly and stimulating house” - Marcella H. Congdon

“Thank you for our lovely store.  It’s a pleasure to us to come to work and our customers love it too.  It is much admired and lots of architects come by to inspect.” - Audrey Heard

“The house is really grand.  I hope that you are pleased too. Mark & Allan executed your lovely details with such care and skill.  We are very happy about everything. Thanks for your wonderful design and enthusiasm.” - Jeannie Johnson

“We can’t wait to show you the house when it’s done. It’s so wonderful, watching it “emerge” from the plan has been a great experience.  We’ve had nothing but great experiences with Steve Grills and all of his crew and subs.  How lucky can we get? Your plans were so thorough that there have been no surprises. . . .I wish you could hear the many compliments as friends marvel at your design.  Tim and I couldn’t be more pleased.  Everything is just as we’d hoped” - Pam Cronin

“It is been so much fun working with you over the last year.  Thanks for your great design and good advise”.
Faye & Michael Richardson

“On a visit to Gillette Castle in December, I had a chance to see the entrance for handicapped people that your firm designed for us.  I thought it blended beautifully with the building.  It enhances access without in any way marring this historic building.  Thank you for your efforts”.
