Richartz Studios, Inc.

Richartz Studios was invaluable during our renovation that consisted of adding a second story to our 1938 home while preserving the original look both on the inside and creating an exterior that was true to the house and our neighborhood. Richartz paid attention to every detail and provided flexibility for future adjustments. A small but critical example of this is placing a light switch on a wall in a hallway so if we decide to put a door on the hall passage later, the switch is in a place that would still be functional. Living in the Pacific NW, we always try to bring more light inside and Richartz delivered a well thought out plan for our renovation that captured more light, more openness to the outdoors and more functional space for our family. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Kevin is a talented architect. He is creative, flexible, and easy to work with. He can help value engineer projects if cost is a key factor. He helped us think through both details and the big picture, but important factors in long term happiness with a remodel.

The wonderful thing about working with Kevin is that he goes out of his way to find solutions for his clients that are creative and allow him to deliver a design that fits the client's needs. He really listens to his clients, offers lots of knowledge and a perspective based on his years in the business. He approaches the process with integrity and strives to help his every step of the way.

I've enjoyed working on a number of projects for Kevin Richards, the principal Architect at Richartz Studios, Inc. Kevin's balanced, organized and efficient approach to design problems give each of his projects and his clients a confident platform for success right from the first meeting. His projects are completed on time and on budget and his teams are carefully selected to ensure success. Kevin has impressed me with his enviable rate of repeat customers; from restauranteurs to homeowners, Kevin's clients appreciate his attention to detail with his designs and his skill and vision solving challenging problems. From the siting of buildings, to navigating the permit process and managing his teams to produce detailed and accurate Construction Drawings - Kevin's leadership and vision exceed his clients expectations every time. I look forward to working with and learning from Kevin on future projects and collaborations.
