Sheila Jane Reynolds

I began working with MelArch in late May, early June 2018 of this year. Matthijs Melchiors has been very attentive to me and my needs for my yoga studio. I am excited to be working with him and his team, Jason Beane. They totally think outside the box and have given me more insight to my business. Once I find a contractor for this job, we are set to get started!

Comment from MEL/ARCH architectural studio:

It has been a true pleasure working with you. I cannot wait to see the design come to life. It will be stellar. Thank you very much for your review!

Greg Heitzman

We were offered the chance to put our DREAM LIST together for a project with Mel/Arch, and THEN offered the opportunity to discuss the pros, cons, and COSTS upfront, THAT is what I think enables Mel/Arch Architects to stand out. They listen to our wants and needs and communicate back in ways that we understood, not architectural-speak. Communication was the key for us. We will use them when the project comes to fruition.

Matthijs is good to work with and was diligent in completing the drawings. We enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to others. He also did a good job co-ordination the work of the other professionals, like Civil, structural & MEP engineers to get all drawings completed and approved by the city. We would definetly plan to use him & his company again.

We are currently working with MEL/ARCH on a major remodel project renovating half of our house and building out a backyard space. Matthijs Melchior has been a great pleasure to work with, he has listened to what we say we want and in turn offers solutions that are better for us than our original ideas. In addition, he’s taking great care and respect to the original design of the house. We live in a 1950’s modern that’s been renovated a couple times before by previous owners… Matthijs is helping us make the overall renovation more inline with the original architecture, but with his creative twist. Matthijs has also approached the renovation in a way that will maximize our savings by offering design solutions that will be more cost effective. We look forward to working with MEL/ARCH through this project and know we’re in the good hands.

When we first approached Matthijs for our project he told us that Mel/Arch Studios believes good design can truly improve our lives. From start to finish Matthijs brought passion, enthusiasm and creativity to our project. Never hesitating to tailor his expertise to our unique needs. He is an artist in the truest sense of the word. We highly recommend Matthijs to anyone who is looking to create sustainable, smart and beautifully designed spaces!

I have had a very successful experience working with Melchoir Architecture (Mel/Arch). Matthijs Melchoir has been a delight to work with and his professionalism and consistency has resulted in a residential plan that I am thoroughly happy with - and I am a perfectionist! He helped get all the elements I wanted into the plan while utilizing the space efficiently. Thereby, he was able to keep square footage down and consequently control overall cost. It has been a satisfying experience and I can confidently recommend him.

MEL/ARCH was a referral. I wish all the recommendations I have received were as good as this one. This firm is easy to work with and came to the table with great ideas. I have yet to feel uncomfortable about changing my mind as often as I do, we probably could have built a dozen homes just with all the changes made. He also made sure that we stayed within budget. Thank you Matthijs for your professionalism, expertise and dedication in creating my home.
