My design experience will systematically guide you through your project, even when you have difficulty expressing your ideas. I can see possibilities and find solutions that you may not otherwise consider. It's my goal to simplify the design process and make it an enjoyable experience. Please read a few past client reviews to see what others have said. CUSTOM: Every lot, every view, and every client is different, and so is every home I’ve designed. This is likely the reason you’ve had difficulty finding plans online that “check all the boxes”. Discussing a new project with a client (I feel) is my strong suit. I pride myself in paying attention. I take notes and ask thoughtful questions to help drill down to the essence of what my client is communicating. This conversation results in a very specific list of “must haves” for the project. It’s then my aim to come back with a design that incorporates ALL of those desires. The majority of our projects have been in the 2,000 — 5,000 square foot range, but we’ve done larger and smaller homes as well. The set of construction drawings that I provide are typically referred to as a “builder’s set”. These plans have all the information that most building municipalities require in a set of blueprints. I’ve completed projects for people in many states. While I’m based in New Castle PA, and the majority of my work is in the greater Pittsburgh area, I’ve also been designing beach houses along the Florida panhandle since 2001. AVAILABILITY: I’m available most days for a free initial phone or zoom call to discuss your project.

He did a fantastic job. Very thorough and professional. Would definitely recommend. ### All 110 reviews **★★★★★ — rmhiatt09, July 2026** > Mark was outstanding to work with on our complex remodel. He made the entire process easy, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable. From the start, he listened closely to our ideas and then offered creative, thoughtful alternatives that ultimately led us to a design far better aligned with how we actually use our space. His vision, responsiveness, and ability to elevate our original concept made a huge difference in the final plan. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for an architect who brings both expertise and true partnership to the project. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Your house is about to undergo a major transformation! It was a pleasure to be a part of the process. Can't wait to see what it looks like on your amazing lot! **★★★★★ — Dominic Peters, July 2026** > Unbelievable architectural design experience from start to finish. Mark helped us create our dream house effortlessly and guided us through the process step by step. As first time builders, this was a pleasant experience. Mark was very professional and responsive throughout the operation. His knowledge, expertise, and creativity really helped shape our dream house into a reality. The attention to detail and progressive vision turned our project into unique one-of-a-kind modern house that differentiates from the rest. The house plans and 3D renderings were easy to navigate. If my wife and I have to build another house in the future we would most certainly choose Green Team Design again. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you, D.J.! I really look forward to seeing your house get built; and seeing it every year when exiting the Fairgrounds :) Thank you for all the referrals as well. Much appreciated! **★★★★★ — Jason Maggi, July 2026** > Mark gave our project a ton of time and thought and provided us with many, many renderings.

We cannot thank him enough! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks, Jason! Your builder will do an amazing job with this!! **★★★★★ — Taylor Kennedy, July 2026** > Very helpful throughout the whole process.

He was easy to communicate with and always responsive when we had questions or needed to discuss changes. Overall, he made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and manageable. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable architect. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you so much Katlyn! You and Casey were the model client and that made it easy to collaborate on this renovation!

We’re thrilled with the final design and can’t wait to see it come to life. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks for being great clients in return. You were so easy to work with!! Best of luck during the build. **★★★★★ — Daniel Elder, May 2025** > Mark worked with us to design our home it’s a self build so I had probably an unusual amount of questions and asks but Mark answered everything in a timely and orderly fashion using videos and images to describe what he was talking to made it feel like we had face to face time anytime i didn’t understand something. Mark took a wish list that I thought was impossible and unrealistic to meet and met everything on it. From the first meeting where he really helped peel back the onion and find out what we truly wanted to last meeting where we wrapped up the journey couldn’t have gone smoother. We have a beautiful house design and plans that are easy to read and follow. Thanks Mark!!!! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > I really enjoyed working with you both. It was quite a puzzle, but we got it all worked out and I'm excited to see this house get built! **★★★★★ — Marie, April 2025** > I can’t say enough about how great Mark was to work with! His professionalism and knowledge, paired with his incredible communication skills and willingness to adapt our project to our multiple requests made him invaluable to our renovation process! We highly recommend him!!! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you, Marie. I am looking forward to seeing the final product! **★★★★★ — HU-197164202, March 2025** > Mark did an amazing job!!

Wishing you the very best experience during the build process. > Mark **★★★★★ — Becky, March 2025** > We were hoping to completely update our home as well as increase the square footage but were unsure of where or how to start. We found Mark and the Green Team Design online after extensive research and we just felt like he would be a good fit for what we needed. We were right! Mark is an excellent listener, answers all questions and explains details clearly. He is extremely patient (believe me we had many limitations in our house that we wanted to work around and Mark hung in there and persisted). He listened to what we wanted and suggested ideas that we hadn’t thought about, got back to us in a timely matter when we had questions or concerns and was quite knowledgeable regarding the whole process. We highly recommend Mark whether this is your first experience like us or you already know what to expect, you absolutely can’t go wrong with Mark. We’re very happy with the finished plans and can’t wait to get started! Thanks, Mark! Becky and Bob **★★★★★ — Bill and Holly W., Feb. 2025** > My wife and I really enjoyed working with Mark. He was professional and courteous. He did a fantastic job listening to what we were looking for and even provided some great ideas we didn't think of ourselves. We are really looking forward to putting on the addition Mark designed for us. Highly recommend him to anyone needing designs and plans. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > I think the addition will function really well for you, and tie in nicely! Thanks to both of you for being so easy to work with. **★★★★★ — HU-294664448, Feb. 2025** > ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ > Working with Green Team Design was a fantastic experience! Mark was amazing to collaborate with—he truly paid attention to our ideas and plans. He took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life beautifully.

After our initial meeting, we understood why. His attention to detail and thoroughness are impeccable. He made great suggestions that my wife and I never thought of. He also answered every question we threw at him. His communication was great, and he kept our project on schedule. We are very happy we had Mark design our forever home! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Ryan, Thank you for the review! I'm looking forward to seeing your house get built this coming year. You were both really great to work with! Best of luck during the build process! **★★★★★ — Kevin Heasley, Oct. 2024** > We are moving back to our home town and hired Mark to work with us on a design for a new home. The build is a few years off but we wanted to begin the process as soon as possible. This is our second build where we learned quite a bit about the process and expectations from our first build. > > We showed Mark a general plan where we collectively discussed options and variations. Mark brought several ideas to us we didn’t think about which made huge changes. One example was keeping lines of site through hallways, doors and windows which keep the flow of the house uniform and consistent. We discussed room heights, kitchen/pantry layouts, garage and basement options along with lighting and electrical options. Mark was great to work with. We had about a half dozen iterations of the plans and profile views with minor changes and ideas through each pass. > > We would highly recommend using Mark based on his knowledge and experience and look forward to his involvement through the building process. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > I'm glad that your build is basically right around the corner. It will be fun to see the progress being made. You were both great to work with. I wish you all the best during the build process! **★★★★★ — Kelly Grafton, July 2024** > Mark is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, he is just incredible! He is so patient, never gives up, shows any and all options! He truly cares about perfection and making sure the client is happy. He is so responsive and passionate. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mark! He is a true gem! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks, Kelly! This house of yours is going to be outstanding. I cannot wait to see it completed. Your collaboration game was very strong...and YOU were great to work for and with! :) **★★★★★ — Brenton tokay, May 2024** > Mark was great to work with. He completed the project ahead of schedule and communicated clearly throughout. He even did the leg work of reaching out to our local municipality and discussing our project with them to make sure there wouldn’t be any unforeseen issues. Lastly, Mark is affordable and a great teammate to have working on your project with you. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks Brenton!! I appreciate the kind words!

He made sure to listen to every want & need that we were looking for in our lake house plan. He stayed in constant communication with us during all steps of the process & made sure that we were satisfied with everything that he did along the way. We were working with a very tight lot so we were pretty limited on what we could & couldn't do, but Mark made use of every, single inch & corner that we had. We were very pleased with Mark & would highly recommend him and the Green Team to anyone that is looking to start a plan from scratch! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you Cecile!...yes every square inch for sure! I look forward to seeing some progress pics along the way! **★★★★★ — HU-859805365, Jan. 2024** > Mark was such a pleasure to work with!

Thanks again! **★★★★★ — HU-677218960, Nov. 2023** > I couldn’t have had a better turnout with Green Team Design!!! Mark had done an outstanding job providing me with new ideas, detailed layouts from room to room, and real values in scale that feel right. All of this through super helpful videos that further explained the recommended changes which made the whole process very easy. Overall Mark was very knowledgeable and simply a great person to work with, flexible on scheduling, and quick to respond. I highly recommend Mark for any new home construction!! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > It was really fun doing some design consulting work. I've only done it a couple of times in the past, but really enjoy it! **★★★★★ — Thomas D. Schulte Jr. Lt. Colonel USAF (reti, Nov. 2023** > We worked with Mark and his design team on our house for our Christian farm ministry, west of Columbus, OH. As an engineer, I was more interested in the mechanicals/functionality or the house whereas my wife and daughter were more concerned with aesthetics. Boy did we have Mark and his team working hard to placate us both but let there be no doubt, Mark’s team delivered high quality work that we will use to build our future, “best ever”, home. > Mark and his team’s knowledge, coupled with their experience, delivered more than I ever expected. We have other houses we will build on our property and one decision is already made. > Green Team Designs is our “go to” for all future house designs. > Thank you Mark and your team for helping make our dream a reality. > God bless. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > You all were a joy to work with! This was a great experience for us as well!

He was patient and thorough, and helped us understand how a well-designed house functions. He welcomed our input during the entire process. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks, Robert! I wish you and your kids all the best as you move forward. **★★★★★ — Mike, Oct. 2023** > Mark from Green Team Designs was great to work with. You could tell from the first meeting that Mark was a professional and had a passion for what he did. He brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table when were going though the initial design stages. He delivered in a timely fashion on what we agreed to be completed, and went above and beyond to help us get the exact design we wanted for our home addition. We absolutely love our designs and can't wait to see it in real life once its built. I would definitely recommend Mark and his Green Team Design team to anyone looking for architectural designs and plans. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks, Mike! Wishing you and your wife all the best during the build process! **★★★★★ — HU-632382352, Aug. 2023** > Mark was incredible to work with. His knowledge and expertise is second to none, and he makes the overall design process as efficient and fun as possible. Would recommend him ten out of ten times! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Hello! Can you text me privately so I know which client this was, please?

They were easy to work with, and provided valuable feedback and recommendations on our designs. We are glad to have used Green Team Design, and look forward to seeing the plans come to fruition. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks, Mark! I think the layout is going to work out really well for your family! **★★★★★ — Erin, July 2023** > Mark and his team were fantastic to work with. We were in a time crunch and he was able to get everything done, including revisions, in the timeframe we needed. He gave great recommendations of things we had never even thought about. Would 100% recommend. **★★★★★ — HU-462280443, June 2023** > Green Team designs, and Mark Green in particular, were wonderful to work with. We went to Green Team Designs with a set plans that we liked because of the interior space and floor plan but wanted to modify by expanding some rooms, taking out walls, removing a bedroom for more patio space, just to mention a few of the changes. We did not like the exterior of the home, at all really, and wanted to change that. Mark was very patient with us as we designed and redesigned the interior and exterior of the home, as we changed our minds several times. Mark helped us through it all and had some really great ideas. By the time we were done, it was a completely different home, in a great way. Couldn't be happier. I highly recommend, Mark and Green Team Design. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you for everything! All the best during your build process. **★★★★★ — Mark Kotch, May 2023** > Mark at Green Team Design Inc. was great to work with! His pricing was competitive and his attention to detail and communication were quick and top notch. He helped us turn or ideas into our future dream home! We are very pleased with our final plans and would recommend Green Team Design to anyone looking for house plans. Very pleased with the final results and he set us up with a engineer at the end of the process which was very affordable and stamped and added the final structural detail. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Mark and Benna! Your house will be very attractive!! Cannot wait to see how it turns out!! Would love to photograph it at the end! **★★★★★ — Anthony Fidram, April 2023** > My wife and I have had aspirations over the years of what we envisioned our home remodel/renovation would look like - good news, we were wrong! > > Working with Mark was an amazing process. Much of what we believed we wanted was all taken into consideration during our fact finding stages and turned into something truly amazing. Mark has a gift when it comes to seeing/hearing/understanding your wants and needs and delivering you with an amazing vision. > > Our project was definitely more complicated with multiple additions, first floor reno and the need to create continuity of these newly created spaces. He managed to take a hefty list of wants and needs and turned them into a home that feels as if it was always intended to be. > > For anyone looking to design a home from the ground up, or turn their existing into their dream home, I'd fully recommend Mark and his services! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks Anthony!! Your first line made me chuckle!! :) > You both were a pleasure to work with! Good luck with the build process!! **★★★★★ — Ashley Greco, Jan. 2023** > If you need a design or plan, you need not look further. Our very reputable builder connected us with Mark and his team at Green Team Design, Inc. who helped create a fully custom build home design for us. Mark worked with us from beginning to end and we have been very impressed each step of the way. Most people seem to have a house plan that they have chosen from a website, but we wanted to start from scratch to truly get exactly what we wanted. We decided to build a 4000 square foot fully custom home. We explained to Mark what style we were after over just a few conversations and sent a few photos. At first, we were apprehensive with how a 4000 square foot completely custom, luxury home design could come into fruition by primarily working via phone, text, and zoom; but we were completely put at ease as soon as Mark sent over the first draft! Mark seemed to naturally know exactly what we wanted and oriented our ideas into a fully custom design. At every point in the process, we were able to say "what about this idea?" and he would instinctively know how to bring our idea to life even better than we could have imagined. Mark has innumerable great qualities including: excellent communication, detail-oriented, talent, experience, creativity, kindness, and we could go on. Mark will truly bring any idea/dream that you have to life and we couldn't be more grateful for his expertise. We highly recommend working with Mark for any design project! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > I somehow missed this review from you. I really appreciate your kind words, Ashley! You were a joy to work with! **★★★★★ — saralemango, Jan. 2023** > I’m so glad I came across Green Team Design when I was looking for help with my home project. Mark’s communication was top notch, his turnaround time was quick and the entire process was so smooth. > He really understood what we were looking for and had creative solutions to maximize the space we were working with. > I couldn’t have asked for better. Highly recommend working with Mark! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Sarah, You were super easy to work with and I appreciate the comments! **★★★★★ — Chris Presnell, Jan. 2023** > This was my first project with Mark and I was not disappointed. He was timely, efficient, detailed, and forward thinking. > > I am a civil engineer by trade and a contractor on the side so I have a lot of experience with CADD drawings. Marc not only added extra detail in the drawings but provided design details that only required my verification. Fantastic work. > > Fast turn around, easy to coordinate with, cost effective, clean and detailed product. I plan on using him for all my projects. Glad a friend recommended him! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Chris, Thank you. I look forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — HU-381078403, Jan. 2023** > Mark and his staff did a great job in designing our addition. Communication was clear and follow up was prompt. My wife and I are extremely happy with the final results and would recommend using green team design for any construction project. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks to you as well, for your part in make it a smooth process! **★★★★★ — heidiirr, Sept. 2022** > Mark really had his hands full when he began working with my husband and me to design our new build house!! He asked us if we wanted coffered ceilings, and I said “Yes please, with cream and sugar!” Mark was so patient with us and never made us feel bad about our lack of knowledge. He made so many excellent recommendations and he was able to conceptualize what we wanted even though our verbiage and descriptions were so novice. Mark is one of the most professional individuals I have ever worked with, so respectful and understanding. I absolutely love the design he created for our home. He totally nailed it. I highly recommend his services! > > Rich and Heidi Irr **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > I totally forgot to respond to this after having read it (almost 3 months ago!!...my apologies!). That you so much for your (very) kind words and for taking the time to write a review. You were very fun to work with!! **★★★★★ — HU-188364941, Aug. 2022** > Green Team Design was a recommendation from our builder so there was a certain comfort level we had at the very beginning of the process. Our comfort level with GTD just got stronger from there. Mark was great to work with. He had an intuitive sense of what would work and what would not work as well with every idea my wife and I came up with. Sometimes my wife and I were all over the board with ideas and wanting this and wanting that. Mark was very patient and guided us in a consultative way that made us feel so much a part of the process. Mark had a way of even making us feel like his ideas were ours. We almost felt like we were the designers. Mark's talent is very impressive. At several points throughout the process Mark would create a video that would take an idea and bring it to life just to see if it was what we were thinking before he incorporated it into the full drawings. Watching an area of our house be drawn before our eyes in a video was very helpful. This highlighted areas we were thinking about and going back and forth with to show us what it would look like before working it into the larger design. We highly recommend Mark and his team and would definitely use them again. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > So glad we were able to help! It was a great "fit"!...and you were wonderful along the way! :) **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2022** > Mark was easy to work with. We had a good idea of what we wanted and he helped make the changes we needed that we could not figure out on our own. His turn around time was quick and he is responsive. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. You were easy to work with as well. :) **★★★★★ — Jesse, Aug. 2022** > Mark helped us with a sophisticated custom design. His attention to detail was excellent and he was able to deliver exactly what we had in mind. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you Jesse! Your house is going to be beautiful!! **★★★★★ — joanlisaac, June 2022** > I hired Mark as my architect to design my dream beach home on St. George Island, Florida. I was not looking for a cookie cutter home and Mark was able to create a very unique and contemporary modern beach house. Mark listened to my "wish list" and developed plans that exceeded my expectations. > > Mark was able to include everything I wanted (luxurious kitchen, oversized master bathroom, chefs walkin pantry , expansive porches, coffee bar, floating stairs etc.)while staying within my construction square footage budget. > > The outside of the house is just as beautiful as the inside. The home is designed to capture the beautiful ocean views and natural daylight that makes St. George Island a tropical paradise. Mark's architectural expertise has resulted in creating a home that I will be proud to call home. Thanks, Mark! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > I am always (ALWAYS) amazed at how kind client's are with their feedback!! This is no exception!! Thank you so much for such a nice "review"!! It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — HU-889946853, June 2022** > Mark did an excellent job in translating our rough floor plan sketches into finished drawings. I would highly recommend him for any design work. He was easy to work with and was very responsive. **★★★★★ — HU-763928996, May 2022** > Great customer service and communication! We enjoyed working with Mark and felt very involved and included in the design process. We felt like our voice was listened too and we enjoyed the process! Thanks Mark! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you. I appreciate it! Good luck with the build! **★★★★★ — k8smiley, April 2022** > Mark was an asset to our new construction home build process. He was very thorough in explaining our options and including every detail we requested in our design while keeping us on track within our target. We highly recommend Mark as a subject matter expert to support the first time home builders move through the process smoothly. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > You both were very open to learning about the process from the get go, and that lead to a great dialog throughout the design phase. I think the plan that emerged will really suit your growing family well! Enjoy the build! **★★★★★ — Chuck & Karen Klousnitzer, March 2022** > It was a pleasure working with Mark Green from Green Team Design. Mark took our thoughts and turned them into solid plans for our dream home! We shared screens on numerous occasions so that we could discuss our floor-plans in greater detailed specifics. The whole process was painless and handled with professional and creative care. Way to go Mark and team! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks to both of you...you also made it painless!! :) **★★★★★ — Kyle Quintero, Feb. 2022** > I highly recommend Mark and his team. My project needed to get some floor plans immediately to keep on schedule and Mark worked very quickly to provide quality drawings, he responded immediately with any questions or concerns I had and was very attentive to all the details. I will definitely reach out to Green Team Design on my future projects. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Kyle, I'm glad we were able to help! Good luck with your project!! **★★★★★ — ljkridge, Feb. 2022** > Mark provided plans for remodel and renovation of existing single family property. He was responsive and quickly answered any of our questions, changes to plans or concerns. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you Laurie and Jim! It was a pleasure working with you both! **★★★★★ — Dave, Feb. 2022** > Let me begin by saying that Green Team Design, Inc. was the fourth (4th) designer we used for our project. That's right, fourth. Mark with Green Team Design was the ONLY designer to actually respond to us and kept us updated. He showed up when he said he would, did what he said he would, and charged what he said was quoted. A fair price for honest work. In today's world that means a lot. > > Our project was a 24'x24' addition to a split entry home. The new design removed the split entry and turned the house to a true ranch. Mike's design was exactly what we were looking for. He threw out ideas that we never thought of and got the project done on schedule. > > Words can not express how grateful we are for Mark and Green Team Design. As stated, the designing and prints phase for our project was an absolute nightmare before Mark got involved and we are very pleased with our results! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Dave, I was happy to help! Thanks for the kind words. **★★★★★ — su brower, Oct. 2021** > Professional work from start to finish. Mark listened to us and provided a design that reflects our dream and budget **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > It was really nice working for you and your daughter! **★★★★★ — incredadele, Oct. 2021** > Mark and his team have been BEYOND satisfactory. He took the time to have a conversation regarding my vision, understanding my personality and my realistic parameters. I can't wait to see his creation fully built in real life. I will recommend Green Team Design to anyone who is looking for a top shelf design experience. Everyone deserves to be in their own sanctuary and he has helped me realize how wonderful mine can be! Thank you for all of your hard work. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you! Your Cottage in the woods is going to be very special! **★★★★★ — debra\_m\_fox, Sept. 2021** > Had great ideas. Was very easy to work with, quick to respond, kept things on track when vendors were involved. My husband and I would both highly recommend Mark Green! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks to the both of you for being so great to work with!! **★★★★★ — Kimberly Rice, Sept. 2021** > We got to work with Mark when we needed to find someone to help us design our dream home. > While there are many designers to choose from I’m so glad we picked Mark! > He was kind, responsive, listened to exactly what we wanted and was truly patient with us. > He added his input which aligned with our vision and helped make our home even more beautiful. > Not only is Mark our designer we feel like he’s become a friend. > We highly recommend Mark at Green Team Design! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Really had fun getting to know you and working with you on your project! **★★★★★ — HU-28869057, Sept. 2021** > We are very happy with the designs for our large home addition. We had many factors to consider with current layout and expanding multiple rooms as well as adding multiple structures. Mark brought all of our dreams for our future addition to life and we are very pleased with the results! We strongly recommend speaking with Mark about your home design needs! **★★★★★ — HU-584128484, July 2021** > Working with Mark was an easy and smooth process. Even though I changed direction at the beginning, Mark was very accommodating and was able to get us back on track. He was available every time I had a question or wanted to make a change. He also made the changes quickly, allowing us to view and make comments accordingly. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Just wanted to thank you! It was a good experience for me as well! **★★★★★ — soucekelias, July 2021** > What a pleasurable experience working Green Team's Mark Green. By experiencing a needy builder and shellshock from architects, we were in a very bad place. We found Green Team's review, contacted them, and Mark Green got back to us within the hour. Mark is more than a sounding board: he represents a fresh approach to building -- from his meetings to how he follows-up with (when--usually later that day, with what-- visual 3D model). He never rubbed the wrong way yet challenged us; and he ultimately presents a final product that we both very much were happy with and there was never a question of 'how much' or 'timing' because milestones were communicated. We can't say enough positives about our experience. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks so much for such a lovely review!! It is MUCH appreciated. I enjoyed both your enthusiasm for your project and despite a difficult builder personality...you always remained positive and upbeat!! All the best with the rest of the build process! **★★★★★ — Greg Radford, June 2021** > Wanted to thank Mark and his team for help on a recent residential project. Things were done professionally, on time, and on budget. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Greg, Thank you!...I look forward to helping you out again in the future! **★★★★★ — HU-176973195, April 2021** > Mark and his team were AMAZING. Truly ah-mazing. Mark approached our project with tremendous amounts of kindness and patience. We appreciated that he listened to our wishes and goals for our new custom build home. When my husband and I hit a mental road block for design, not only did he offer suggestions, but he gave us a different perspective on how to look at areas of the house and adjustments that would benefit our family in the long run. For all the uncertainty that one might have for doing a custom home, Mark and his team put that to rest immediately and has made the process fun and memorable. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > I was so glad to help with the designing of your new home. Wishing you all the best during the building process! **★★★★★ — HU-951192683, April 2021** > Mark Green was a pro to work with all the way through our design process. He always made us feel like we were a high priority. Mark communicated openly and was very patient with us. Very friendly to deal with and creative. > > Mark took the time to explain each phase to us in detail. He is a very good listener. Overall, we were very pleased and would highly recommend his services. > > Jason and Jessica Hoppa **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks a lot, Jason. Your house will be the most impressive on the block, without a doubt! :) **★★★★★ — Greg Martin, March 2021** > We worked with Mark and our builder on a new modern home design in Oakmont, PA. Because of covid we never actually met in person but that really wasn't an issue at all. Mark was very quick, cteative and responsive. We love out home design! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you! I really appreciate it! This process was really smooth working with you as well. **★★★★★ — Andy Shieh, March 2021** > I hired Mark to bring my vision and ideas to my future new luxury home to life. I was extremely particular on what I wanted and where/how I wanted them. Mark took my vision and “professionalized” them by infusing his expertise and experience. I didn’t really set any time frame on my close to 10,000 sq/ft project, but in the 4 months that we worked together, Mark was VERY prompt in responding to all of my communication (text, e-mail, and phone calls). He was also receptive to my input, desires, and needs. He listens, he is experienced so he knows what you’re talking about when you wanted things in certain way, and he is professional. I found working with him very easy and productive. My experience was positive from our very first phone call to the end. I am in love with my new house design and I am so glad that I chose Mark to be the one to extract it from my head and bring it to life on paper/PDF. Mark’s cost of service is more than fair and after my journey with him, I would’ve paid more if he’d charged more. If you’re reading this review because you’re in the hunt for a house designer for your new build or renovation, then give Mark a call after you read this. You’ll thank me later. Mark, if you’re reading this, once this house is built, you and your wife will definitely be invited to the house warming party to see your masterpiece in person! Thank you for your hard work and attention to my project. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Andy, I forgot to jump back on here and thank you for such a thoughtful (and kind) review. Much appreciated!! **★★★★★ — Heather Goodchild, Jan. 2021** > Mark is outstanding! > > > We are newbies to the custom home design process. Mark made it simple, collaborative and helped us get to an end result that is our dream home. Mark thinks and cares not only about how the home will look, but how you will live in it. This approach really helped us think through the flow of the home. In addition to Mark's technical skill set, we really appreciated his proactive communication style, we always knew where we were in the process and what the next step would be. Mark is knowledgeable, approachable, efficient and a straight shooter. We would absolutely recommend Green Team Design and will use him again for future projects. > > In appreciation, > Heather & Jameson Goodchild **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > I'm a person who likes their ducks in a row--and the Goodchild's ducks were all lined up before we ever met! So thorough--they knew what they wanted and had thought through everything. They were top notch and very easy to work with. **★★★★★ — Darren Dauberger, Nov. 2020** > Mark was great to work with. He was willing to make, what I thought would have been impossible to design, possible. Additionally, he was always quick to respond to any questions I had within a few hours. I highly recommend Mark for all of your home design needs. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Can't believe I never responded to your review, Darren! Thank you! **★★★★★ — Greg Formosa, Oct. 2020** > We can’t express how great it was to work with Mark Green regarding the design of our new home. Mark provided an excellent experience from start to finish. His attention to first intently listen to our unique needs and desires, provide us with his very valuable feedback and then ultimately design our home was all encompassing. The end product well exceeded our expections with regards to the final design as well as the quality of the plans and 3D renderings provided. When undertaking a large investment such as the build of a new custom home, investing in the Green Team Design Services is a must. We are so glad we did. What a great and most valuable experience! Thanks again Mark for all of your hard work and dedication. We now consider you to not just be a valued part of our build but also a valued friend. Thanks again. > Respectfully, > Greg and Sandy Formosa **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Greg, Can't believe I missed responding to your review here! Thank you so much! **★★★★★ — HU-38022482, Sept. 2020** > Was hired to completed design specs for a very large addition to an existing house. Very easy to work with, and extremely accommodating in listening to design requests and changes. Quick on deliverables. Very meticulous and professional. Provided input and suggestions when requested, and offered various scenarios for consideration. Would highly recommend to anyone considering a design firm, and would not hesitate to hire if we have another project. **★★★★★ — Darci Wise, May 2020** > Mark was extremely professional throughout our project. He is precise, organized, insightful, and has excellent communication skills. We really enjoyed working with him! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Byers, Aug. 2019** > Mark from Green Team Design is very professional and great to work with. He listened intently to our family's desires and quickly explored options for an addition and remodeling project. He communicated effectively through emails, Skype, and phone calls making changes to plans quickly. He is very creative in the designs he creates by utilizing space effectively and making rooms flow together. He provided us with videos in which he talked through the plans and provided a 3D visual of the project that helped us visualize the project. It was just what we needed to help us have a sense of peace about our building project. He also contacted our builder and an engineer to discuss the project and reached out to others when he had questions. Mark has been so helpful and a great resource during this process. We are so excited to have a final plan and for the project to begin in the near future. If you are looking for help in designing your future home or an addition, we highly recommend Mark and his team they are truly remarkable. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thank you Byers family. Happy to have achieved a plan that all members of the family are excited about! You were great to work with! Mark **★★★★★ — Jeffrey Sollie, May 2019** > Six months ago our company decided to search for a solution for drafting issues we were dealing with. After reviewing Green Team Design on houzz I decided to make contact. We are very glad we made the call. Mark and his team have been able to adapt to and solve every issue we had. We have found Mark to be very detail oriented as well as insightful. Green Team Design has added value to our products. If you are looking for someone who listens to your ideas and can add value to your project, make the call like we did you will in good hands. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks Jeff. Everyone at Jubilee Builders has been great to work with! **★★★★★ — HU-175790284, April 2019** > Mark made our design process thoroughly enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. From day one the process was easy and stress free. The communication was impeccable and the frequent updates provided to us along the way kept our minds at ease. Mark is truly talented and was able to perfectly interpret what we wanted. Not to mention creative when we weren’t quite sure exactly what we wanted. We definitely recommend Mark and Green Design Team to anyone looking to build. Our design plan is everything we hoped for. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > You both definitely had your act together as to what you wanted...very clear goals always helps the process. Thanks so much for the kind words! > Mark **★★★★★ — brian showman, March 2019** > He did an outstanding job designing our custom home. He listened to all our wants and needs and designed the perfect layout and home for us. He is very easy to communicate with. He breaks everything down in his design agreement so you know what to expect throughout the entire project. It was a pleasure working with him and we would highly recommend him to anyone else!! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Brian, Thanks so much! Wishing you both all the best on your self build! > > Mark **★★★★★ — sumitup, March 2019** > We had an outstanding experience with Mark. He has worked on three projects for us and every time has been a great experience. Mark began each by investing time with us to thoroughly understand our vision and priorities for the project. He then turned our ideas in designs that exceeded every aspect of our expectations. When changes or “new ideas” came from us, he was more than happy to incorporate new thinking into the final design and process changes in an efficient and timely manner. When it came time to hand the drawings over to our builder, the builder was really impressed with the level of detail and quality of the drawings. Our builder raved that the quality of Mark’s work exceeds nearly all drawings that they get from other designers. That is a true testament to the quality of Mark’s designs and drawings. We would recommend Mark for any new home or addition project. Our family looks forward to working with him again in the future! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Dan, It's been a pleasure working for you. You new addition is going to be wonderful! **★★★★★ — arg73, Nov. 2018** > Mark was so easy to work with and, after going through this process several times before with others, this was by far the best experience we've had designing a home. We were able to do everything by email, making it so much easier. He gave us virtual tour videos of the exterior along the way so we could get a feel for how the exterior was really going to look, which helped me a lot. He was always quick getting things back to us, and made any changes we wanted quickly. Next time we are designing something, he'll definitely be who we call. The cost was a fraction of what we've paid in the past, and the process was much more efficient. **★★★★★ — Lou and Chick Sarris, Sept. 2018** > my wife and I are getting ready to build a home at the beach and interviewed 3 architects to build plans for us...WE Chose Mark Green...Anytime you are building 100% custom it is hard to put your vision to paper...Mark Green has the ability to draw the perfect home through our thoughts was absolutely amazing! 3 or 4 phone conferences and the plan was in place....work ethic, character, personality and the ability to create what you think is really cool! > Thank you Mark, we will recommend your services to anyone looking to build a custom home anywhere.

He listened to our ideas and applied them directly to our floor plans both creatively and in a timely manner. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and kept the lines of communication connected. We didn’t have to wait long to here back when we had a question and he also made our requested alterations quickly and concretely to our specifications. Mark made the process fun and easy.

Your home is amazing and I can't wait to see it! Hope you enjoy it for many years to come!! > > Mark **★★★★★ — Bill Carrington, March 2018** > It was an absolute pleasure working with Mark on this project. He took the basic concept and turned it into a working reality. Excellent plan layout as well a color graphics help bring reality to the concept. The design work was finished on time thus allowing the construction to begin as planned. If there is ever a need for design services in the future I will go directly to Mark. Top notch all the way! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > You guys responded almost instantly to everything I sent, which really kept things moving along! Thank you! Great looking house! **★★★★★ — Jason cruise, Feb. 2018** > Mark designed a complete second floor master suite for our existing home. It included a full master bath, sitting area, two walk in closets and a balcony overlooking our swimming pool. He was prompt, extremely professional, flexible, creative! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Jason, So happy we were able to get you exactly what you were after! I think it's going to turn out great! Thanks again! Mark **★★★★★ — sgifamily, Dec. 2017** > Mark did a great job in drafting the designs of our new family beach house. He followed our initial layout and made recommendations for possible improvements. He achieved all this in a timely and professional manner. The final drawings were shown with a 3-D exterior rendering complete with color. This allowed us to have a good look at what the beach house would actually look like when completed. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > It was so nice working with the both of you to create these house plans. It's a simple design, but sure does have a lot of character! Thank you! **★★★★★ — Rivers + Steel City Homes, Dec. 2017** > Mark was very responsive, paid close attention to detail, had great insight on the subject matter and was reasonably priced. It's always great to work with someone that cares about your project as much as you do, and takes the time to listen. I was impressed with such a demanding schedule how quickly and efficiently he made it happen. I would highly recommend working with Mark and would hire him again. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > An unusual project...first of it's kind (for me). The client wanted to take a former single family home (mansion) which had (poorly) been turned into a few apartments (in the past) and turn it into 10 Airbnbs while keeping the historic feel to the home. We kept a great percentage of the trim and character intact. Definitely a success! **★★★★★ — MK Homes, Inc, Dec. 2017** > We are a custom home builder and work with Mark to design homes for our customers. He is always a pleasure to work with- he is very responsive, he works hard to translate and deliver what the customer needs and wants, and he wraps up the project with accurate and detailed plans. Can’t recommend him enough. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Thanks, Kim. We have a mutual respect club going here...because you and Matt are really easy going; so down to earth; and (also) a pleasure to work with! **★★★★★ — Jewel Beetle, Dec. 2017** > Mark was very professional and friendly from day one and listened to everything we wanted to do. He came back with realistic goals and pricing that addressed our needs, including researching local regulations relating to our house build. Our revisions were dealt with promptly and professionally. > Thanks again Mark for designing our dream home. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > This is the perfect example of being able to work long distance with a client: Yasmin lives in Toronto; I'm near Pittsburgh, and the Lot was in Eastpoint, Florida. We never met in person, yet it worked smoothly and seamlessly. She had a clear vision of what she wanted and was so very easy to work with. It was my pleasure! **★★★★★ — GQ IMAGE, Oct. 2017** > I am probably one of the worst people to deal with, my expectations are through the roof, my demands are out of this world, I expect everything to go my way with no exceptions, I only take perfection, anything less is unacceptable. Can you imagine dealing with me? When it came time to design my dream home, I interviewed and met with \*\*3\*\* home designers. I tortured all of them. One just quit and ran for the hills, the other failed miserably, Mark Green on the other hand made my vision a reality. I cannot say enough good things about Mark Green. His vision and design is out of this world. Also to give you an idea of the complexity of my home design, I have TWO cars on display IN MY HOUSE!!! Yes in the house, not in the garage. One of the two cars is on a turn table. Please don’t evener think it can’t be done. If you can DREAM IT, MARK GREEN CAN DESGIN IT. **★★★★★ — msuethomas, Oct. 2017** > Mark designed the addition we are adding to our home. We gave him the ideas we had and he took them into a whole new wonderful direction. He was very creative in giving us all we hoped for plus more. He's very respectful and easy to work with. It has been a pleasure doing business with him and highly recommend him to anyone searching for help designing their dream. Thank you!! **★★★★★ — CRMR, Oct. 2017** > Mark was very responsive, quickly understood our needs and worked with our builder to ensure we met our functional and aesthetic goals on budget. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > So glad you chose the design option for your addition that best compliments the existing structure. Good luck with the build process! **★★★★★ — David & Dawn Hilliker, Sept. 2017** > Mark Green did a fabulous job helping us design our home. From our original base plans we created the perfect home for our lifestyle. Mark made it easy by guiding us through the process in a methodical yet creative way. Marks experience and expertise along with a good measure of patience made our home designing experience one that we are truly grateful for and will treasure as our plans become a reality! **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > I appreciate the kind comments! This project certainly had interesting challenges, but (as a team—client, builder and designer) we got through it with flying colors. The layout is definitely a "winner" in my opinion! See you at the site! **★★★★★ — Holly Harrison Interiors, July 2017** > What a pleasure Mark was to work with! He made everything so easy while designing our beachfront home. As an interior designer, I definitely had my own ideas. I presented Mark with a very rough layout; Mark took the plan and ran with it. He was patient through the entire process. The final plan is perfect and we are anxious to begin construction. I would highly recommend Mark, and we will turn to him again for any future projects. **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > Your design came together quite nicely and (you) knowing what you wanted made it easy. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Keri, July 2017** > Mark designed us our dream home. It is absolutely perfect and everything I wanted and more.

We came to Mark with some rough ideas of what we wanted for the inside of the house, then I shared numerous photos of different things we liked from Houzz. Through this, Mark came up with a design that was exactly what we envisioned our future home to be. Any updates or changes were handled and turned around very quickly, and we are looking forward to seeing our dream home become a reality within the next year! **★★★★★ — Luci Rause, Sept. 2015** > Mark was extremely responsive and proactive in regards to our remodeling plan.

We highly recommend him to anyone that wants to work with a very good professional home designer that will continually work with you and respond quickly to questions/comments, **Comment from Green Team Design, Inc.:** > The project price range was close to $250,000.

At 3,024 sq.ft., it's a pretty simple, straighforward design with clean lines, a great layout and spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico. The open, floor plan is spacious. There's ample room for moving around the house without bumping in to one another. And the crisp, all-white interior theme is carried throughout allowing sun light to bounce off every surface making the house a happy place to be. - [Dankert Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dankert-beach-house-pj-vj~3026134) - Location: Saint George Island, FL - Photos: 25 - [Longstreth Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/longstreth-residence-pj-vj~2740782) - Location: Moon, PA - Photos: 14 - [Trinity Place Modern House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/trinity-place-modern-house-pj-vj~7327240) - Location: Gibsonia, PA - Photos: 48 - [Hilltop House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hilltop-house-pj-vj~7327290) - Location: McDonald, PA - Photos: 11 - [Valencia Modern house](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/valencia-modern-house-pj-vj~7327230) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Craftsman New Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-new-build-pj-vj~6314693) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 46 - [LeMasters House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lemasters-house-pj-vj~6290624) - Location: Pittsburgh, PA - Photos: 27 - [Cronin House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cronin-house-pj-vj~6283346) - Location: Pittsburgh, PA - Photos: 12 - [Smell Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/smell-project-pj-vj~6693205) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - [Shock Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shock-residence-pj-vj~2756334) - Location: Moon, PA - Photos: 11 - [Hertzler New Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hertzler-new-home-pj-vj~6314706) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Dark Contemporary Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dark-contemporary-home-pj-vj~7346008) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [White Contemporary Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-contemporary-beach-house-pj-vj~2124654) - Location: Eastpoint, FL - Photos: 1 - Description: Client from: Florida House location: St. George Island, FL Description: 2,685 sq.ft.; 2BR/3.5BA Comments: "An architect did our plans but the house is too big, too expensive, too modern.

If your project needs an engineer's stamp, which isn't always the case, I can introduce you to licensed engineers I've worked with in several states. This ensures your plans meet all regulatory needs. **What types of projects do you specialize in (custom homes, remodels, additions)?** We specialize exclusively in residential design, focusing on custom new homes, additions, and remodels. With over 20 years of experience and hundreds of projects, we're adept at transforming your unique ideas into detailed plans, whether it's a new build or enhancing your current home. **How do you help clients design within their construction budget?** I help clients design within budget by focusing on cost-saving design considerations and efficient use of space. I also strongly recommend bringing a builder onto the team early in the process. Their working knowledge of costs is invaluable for keeping the project on track and within your financial goals. **Do you design fully custom homes?** Absolutely, designing fully custom homes is our core expertise. We believe every client and property is unique, so we don't use stock plans. We meticulously combine your ideas, wish list, and inspirations into a one-of-a-kind design that perfectly fits your family and lifestyle. **Can you work with the builder I select, or do you recommend specific builders?** Yes, I can certainly work with the builder you select. My construction drawings are known as a 'builder's set' and are widely accepted. I also recommend involving your builder early in the design process, as their input can be a real asset for budgeting and constructability. *FAQ content may be generated based on the Pro's Houzz profile and website.* ## Ideabooks - [Misc](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/155146487/list/misc) — 14 ideas - [Mid-Century Modern exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/153540188/list/mid-century-modern-exterior) — 14 ideas - [Lichtenstein Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/151614400/list/lichtenstein-residence) — 9 ideas - [MP202](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/148756269/list/mp202) — 9 ideas - [Southwood house](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/148200033/list/southwood-house) — 13 ideas - [Dougherty Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/145158728/list/dougherty-residence) — 4 ideas - [Goodchild Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/143161433/list/goodchild-residence) — 5 ideas - [Hondru Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/131515990/list/hondru-residence) — 133 ideas - [Hanchak remodel](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/123407502/list/hanchak-remodel) — 11 ideas - [nice exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/121833749/list/nice-exteriors) — 1 idea - [merklin addition](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/121313850/list/merklin-addition) — 20 ideas - [carriage house living room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6878679/list/carriage-house-living-room) — 15 ideas - [carriage house kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118671119/list/carriage-house-kitchen) — 9 ideas - [carriage house m.bed](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118671133/list/carriage-house-m-bed) — 3 ideas - [carriage house m.bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118671118/list/carriage-house-m-bath) — 5 ideas - [carriage house w.i.c.](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118671716/list/carriage-house-w-i-c) — 1 idea - [carriage house office](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6507074/list/carriage-house-office) — 8 ideas - [Peacock @ Ivy Way](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/115293010/list/peacock-ivy-way) — 55 ideas - [hertzler residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/103199538/list/hertzler-residence) — 74 ideas - [dietrich house](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/96843009/list/dietrich-house) — 139 ideas [See all 36 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/greenteamdesign) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
