Alexandra and Will Crayger

My wife and I started our home building journey about a year ago as we began engaging with a few design builders in the area. We quickly realized that the design builder path was not right for us and began looking for a reputable architect in Tampa. We’re so happy we did as we discovered Don Sharp and his team at Sharp Design Studio. Working with the team at SDS has been such a wonderful experience. They have helped us tremendously throughout the process beginning with a series of discovery sessions to better understand what we’re looking for, to working with the City of Tampa on the design exception process, and sticking with us throughout the build process to work with the necessary contractors. We couldn’t be more happy with the SDS team and would happily recommend them as a great partner for those looking.

Comment from Sharp Design Studio:

Thank you so much Alexandra and Will! We really appreciate the great review and enjoyed working with you on your dream home!

Don Sharp and his team are all A+. Sharp Design Studio did an amazing job designing our home and went out of their way welcoming our son when he was born. Thank you Don for being a cut above!

Comment from Sharp Design Studio:

Thank you Matt! It is so nice working with you and Corrie on your dream home.

Jeannie White

Sharp Design Studio, with their incredible staff, made designing our home an Incredibly wonderful experience. They took every idea, need and want that we had and helped us design our dream home. I have built many homes in my life and have never worked with such a positive, energetic and talented team. I would recommend them to anyone, especially those who want something different, unique and extraordinary!

Comment from Sharp Design Studio:

Thank you so much Jeannie. We really enjoyed working with you all.

hummel_jessie

Don Sharp & team have been absolutely amazing since day one! My husband and I have dreamed of building a detached garage with a mother-in-law apartment above. We knew the addition would need to match our current home, and meet all county restrictions, and frankly, weren’t really sure it could be done! Within a shorter time period than anticipated, the team successfully transformed our ideas into a beautiful design and within all restrictions! Don’s experience shined through as he was able to take our ideas and make them better than we could have imagined! He is one of the most creative and innovative individuals I/we have ever met, yet remains wildly humble and is so pleasant to work!! Also, I am acting as my own general contractor – Don & team have gone above and beyond with helping me learn/understand the entire process, are always very responsive, and have proven to be eager to help! Sincerely cannot wait for that next project that will allow us to work together again!

Sharp Design is an innovative architectural firm, catering to homebuilders that excels on every level of design. After going over our big picture goals and specific requirements for a new lineup of plans, Sharp delivered very quickly with the quickest turnaround times I've ever experienced! In addition, the team at Sharp is meticulous on details, creativity, innovation, and focused on listening to their customers, allowing them to create homes with that "Wow" factor. Lastly, Sharp is great at communicating with you every step of the way, from initial concept plans, through CD's, all the way to construction of the home. We highly recommend Sharp Design Studio should you need either a custom home designed or a new plan lineup to sell in a subdivision.

Pioneer Homes

We at Pioneer Homes have had the opportunity to work with many great design firms over our 42 years in the home building industry. Sharp Design Group has been our “go to” design firm for the last 10 years. The Sharp Design team is always on top of understanding a market and delivering designs that are right on point. Delivering on time and attention to the details of the customers needs are a strong suit of Sharp Design. We would not hesitate to recommend Don Sharp and his extraordinary design team to anyone looking for a dedicated design firm.

Andrea Hawk

The team at Sharp Design Studio has been a true pleasure to work with designing our new custom home. Everyone that we have contact with, including the owner, Don Sharp, is hands-on, very responsive and extremely accommodating. We started out with ideas for a single story home and eventually developed our custom floorplan into a two-story, unique and gorgeous home with custom touches throughout. We threw so many crazy ideas and changes at the Sharp Design team, and they would always surprise us with solutions and even new ideas to better the project. Working with the right design team is critical in building a custom home, and we are so thankful that we chose the BEST design team!

As a custom builder, we searched and interviewed many architects and designers. Sharp Design Studio's team welcomed us and far exceeded all of our expectations. They walked through every step of this process with us and provided expert guidance. Don and his entire team has in-depth product knowledge, design experience, and excellent construction administration. We highly recommend Sharp Design Studio to anyone interested in working with a top notch design team.

Two Trails | Sustainable Building Consultants

The Sharp Design Studio Team is one incredible group of talented individuals! We have worked on several projects with them and every one has gone flawlessly. Their follow thru on detail is second to none. They listen to a clients needs and deliver an outstanding design. From our perspective, they understand sustainability and how to incorporate low or no cost green features in a home that will add value to not only the design but also the client. They have won several green and sustainable awards that we were also a part of. they deliver on time and within budget. That in itself is something difficult to find in most design firms. i look forward to working with this team on many more projects and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great design team.

Drew and the two trails team,

All members of Sharp Design Studio are consummate professionals and are also a pleasure to work with. Their knowledge of the industry can only serve as a great contribution to any housing provider.

Richard Dombrowski

It has been my pleasure knowing Don Sharp, owner of Sharp Design Studio, for many, many years. Having spent nearly 17 years in the homebuilding business and another 8 in the general real estate business, I have had numerous opportunities to work with Sharp Design Studio and, to say the least, it has NEVER been a disappointment. Their team is meticulous, creative, innovative, and customer-centric. In addition, when they commit to getting something done within a certain time period, it gets done! My highest recommendation for any company would be that I would work with them again in the future. I would not hesitate to work with and/or refer Sharp Design Studio.in the future!

Mike Walsh

I've worked with Don Sharp for many years and have always been fascinated by his creativity and comprehensive approach to home design. For years Don designed homes on the West Coast of Florida for Ryland Homes, a national home builder, winning numerous accolades both within and outside the organization. When Don Sharp is involved, you can be assured of not only outstanding work but also being treated with the utmost respect and professionalism.

Jenna Slakman Suplicki

Sharp Design Studio stands out above ALL the rest. Unbelievable designs with such incredible attention to detail. Every design can be customized and tailored as desired and it's as if they are building it for themselves. I am having a house designed by Sharp Design Studio as I write this. They designed my previous home and it was amazing, but now we need to down size into a 2500 sq ft home (our other home was 4100 sq ft). I have seen all of their designs in Innisbrook alone and I was blown away. If you don't use this company, you are wasting your money and time and will be disappointed. You get what you pay for.

Don Sharp designed 2 craftsman style homes for us a year ago which will CO in a few weeks. They are magnificent. Don listened to our vision, improved upon it, and created exactly what we hoped for. Everyone on the Sharp Design Studio team is a true professional in their abilities, creativity, details and responsiveness.
