From start to finish, Tatiana patiently listened to our ideas, concerns and constraints, and then timely submitted some design options that resonated with our ideas and style. Tatiana also referred us to some quality contractors that she felt had a strong history of reliability, delivery and the capability of seamlessly executing our custom design. The end result was phenomenal, and exceeded our expectations. The remodel came in on budget, with very few change orders necessary, and Tatiana's design and guidance on materials throughout the construction process was tantamount to the remodel's success. We would gladly recommend Tatiana, and we are looking forward to our Phase two remodel! Tatiana is patient, kind, trustworthy, and incorporates her clients' ideas to create something greater than just the design itself. We were blessed to find her. **★★★★★ — HU-49187449, Nov. 2024** > Tatiana was a phenomenal addition to our team when we built out our renovation plans for our home in Sammamish. We contracted her for the interior and exterior design portion of our project. With her background in architecture, she was able to provide us with excellent feedback on the overall look and feel of our home. The plan set and details were so well thought out. She went as far as to assists us with issues she saw within our architectural drawings, which honestly saved us money and time in the end. With her skill set and knowledge she would be a valuable asset to any new construction or remodel project. We definitely plan to use her again in the future and can’t thank her enough for what she did for our home. It’s beautiful! **★★★★★ — Sophia Chung, May 2024** > Tatiana was the architect of our custom build and working with her was an absolute dream! We had a particularly challenging front-slopping lot and Tatiana was able to push through the constraints of the lot to come up with a house design that we absolutely fell in love with. I really appreciated how she really listened to what we wanted, but also pushed back when our ideas didn't work. Throughout the entire process I was so impressed with her knowledge and expertise of every single detail of the design and building process. Her attention to detail and styling is incredible as she even extended to help with some finishes during the build process. I loved working with Tatiana and would recommend to her anyone in a heartbeat. **★★★★★ — Ilia Gilderman, April 2024** > Space Lab did a tremendous job, taking the initial design which we were not happy with, from another company and delivering an amazing house, following our crazy requirements and pushing back to keep it reasonable and sane. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — McNeely-Templeman Home, Feb. 2021** > My husband and I had an extremely challenging whole-home remodel, which was an original lake cottage from the 1950's with an addition done in the early 1990's. We love our location but the home layout made it so difficult for us to enjoy our space, let alone entertain guests. We had a list of improvements that were a mile long in order to make the house our dream home! > > I cannot begin to say how fortunate we are to have discovered Tatiana Darnell and Space Lab Design Services. The design work Tatiana did is nothing short of miraculous! > > It was so reassuring to work with a professional who is so skilled at taking her client's vision and dreams, expanding upon them and delivering a project that exceeds all expectations. Tatiana is not only an amazing architect but has an impeccable eye for interior design and finishes. We collaborated frequently and I loved that she worked directly with our contractor and project manager as we expanded scope or added special touches. > > I whole-heartedly recommend Tatiana Darnell's design services and would love to work with her again on any future projects. **★★★★★ — Sofiya Pylypenko, Jan. 2019** > Tatiana has helped us with a few development projects and is our trusted go-to expert on architecture. Her designs incorporate functional floor plans and aesthetically pleasing exteriors. > What’s more, Tatiana is always organized and professional which leads to a streamlined design process. Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — Sheri and Tom B., Jan. 2019** > It was such a pleasure designing our dream home with Tatiana Darnell. Her expertise provided peace of mind, she was very professional and truly listened to our requests. In fact, we fell in love with her initial exterior, design drawings. We enjoyed working with her and only wished we could have actually built our home. Due to unforeseen life circumstances, we had to halt the final design process, but if the opportunity occurs again, we will surely re-hire Tatiana. We will miss working with her and we can honestly say you won't be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Inna Garkavi, Dec. 2017** > Working with Tatiana Darnell is an incredible pleasure, and an honor. She exemplifies all of the professional and personal qualities customers should look for when they are choosing an architect for their project. Tatiana has a vision of space, great sense of style and proportions, imagination, experience, respect for the client’s budget and time, great communication skills, patience, and honesty. Tatiana listens to and understands the client’s personal taste and their requirements. She is always able to fuse them with the surrounding landscape and the technical constrictions of the project. She has the ability to utilize these constrains, and to turn them into opportunities for an out of the box solutions. She is a fast yet thorough decision maker, who sees the big picture, without losing track of minute details. All of these qualities are what make Tatiana an outstanding Architect who takes great pride in her work. **★★★★★ — Bob Klug, Dec. 2017** > Tatiana Darnell is the owner of Space Lab Design Services, an architectural and interior design firm, in Kirkland. The staff of the Miele Experience Center in Bellevue recommended her. They told us that she was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. We needed an architect to take over the plans and advise our contractor because the original architect had recently passed away. For Tatiana, it was not an easy entry point into our whole house remodeling project. But she has been an exceptional find. She is very creative and offers design options where we can pick what we like and then fully refines the preferred choice. Her ideas are fully grounded in solid engineering principles which she carefully explains when we ask. On top of that, she is extremely prompt and responsive. We’ve never had anyone who turns around work so quickly, often overnight when we make an inquiry or ask a clarifying question. Her skills have greatly helped us. **★★★★★ — Vijaye Raji, June 2016** > We worked with Tatiana on our custom home project. During the course of five months we worked with her, I’ve been impressed with her depth of knowledge, out-of-the-box thinking, and the professionalism with which she handled every situation. Tatiana earned our trust early on and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks, whether it is making sure our preferences are accounted for or the architectural review comments are addressed appropriately. She was very effective in figuring out what we wanted from the home and translating that into great designs. **★★★★★ — Scott Holsapple, June 2016** > I have been working with Tatiana for nearly a decade on various beautiful residential projects and it has been an absolute pleasure in every aspect. In our professional relationship I have not only enjoyed her wonderful nature and demeanor with other colleagues and clients, but her exquisite attention to detail. > Tatiana possess a great talent for communicating with clients, distilling their vision and helping them to navigate their way through the often challenging and complicated process of designing and implementing their dreams. I greatly admire how she does this with such a calm style graceful manor. Her dedication to her craft and the required process more than qualifies her for any project she chooses to pursue. ## Selected projects - [Modern Mediterranean](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-mediterranean-pj-vj~7568390) - Location: Clyde Hill, WA - Photos: 35 - Description: This Modern Mediterranean residence for a family of four, relocating from California, was designed to have timeless and familiar aesthetic in their new NW locale.
