His creative ideas and knowledge of construction has helped to create the perfect designs for my clients. He is thorough in details which makes the contractors job so much easier to budget and build. I have personally used him for my family’s home and have referred him to my relatives as well. Michael is truly an asset to have in design and construction **★★★★★ — CKC Custom Homes, April 2019** > Michael is excellent at his craft. He has the knowledge and experience that can assist you in bringing your plans to life. He is a hardworking individual who cares about his clients. I absolutely love working with Michael, he is patient and he listens. He is able to create a unique masterpiece for every client. Thank you for all of your hard work. **★★★★★ — Johnnie & Hope Martinez, April 2018** > We loved working with Micheal and would recommend him to anyone looking for a designer to turn their vision into reality. He is the consummate professional while also making the experience very personable and enjoyable. He takes the time to listen to your vision, understand your "wants", and then helps to translate that into reality. He will help you to understand what is possible and also guide you to other solutions based on his valuable expertise. We are building our own home with UBuildIt and the first time we talked with Michael we knew he was the designer we wanted to work with. If you want to truly experience designing your home, Micheal should be your first and only choice. **★★★★★ — Margaret Tuschinski, Aug. 2017** > I can't emphasize enough how highly we think of Michael Hyden. He helped us turn our likes and dislikes and functional needs into our dream home. Thoughtful consideration went into every aspect of the design as Michael really listened to us talk about our family and our lifestyle. Even things we thought were just fun conversation found their way into the design. Michael was so wonderful and really made the process fun. He was very flexible with our crazy schedule and, based on what I hear from folks who worked with other designers, he made the whole process super fast. I've never heard anyone say they really enjoyed the design process, but we sincerely did. I hope to never design another home because we really do have a dream come true, but if we do Michael will be our first and only call. **★★★★★ — Jay Parker, Aug. 2017** > Hyden Design Group has been designing homes for us for almost 30 years. He has consistently designed homes plans that have endured the test of time, the innovative floor plans seem to hardly ever become dated and they have consistently resold faster and held their value better than other homes in the neighborhoods we have built in. Thank you Michael Hyden for a job well done and the good times we have shared!! **★★★★★ — Jeff Brown, Aug. 2017** > I would recommend Hyden Design for your next project. Michael was very flexible when we needed to meet to discuss our project. We had ideas in our head and Michael was able to start sketching the ideas and turned them into an excellent home design. With his experience he was able to make suggestions and talk us through pros and cons for each of our ideas. Now that the project has moved from ideas to paper and on to the construction phase, Michael still checks in on our project. **★★★★★ — Dawn Kulpa, Aug. 2017** > I recommend Michael to everyone I know that is entering the home design process of building. My husband and I are building our own home, and we were truly fortunate to have found Hyden Design Group. Michael was professional, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly listened. We entered the process with a strong concept of what we wanted - Michael took those ideas and turned them into a design far better than we could ever have imagined, while being respectful of our budget. We can't wait to move in to our custom home next month. Thank you Michael! **★★★★★ — Edward Bajec, Aug. 2017** > I have used Michael Hyden (Hyden Design Group) for various new home construction projects since 1997. The latest was started last fall and should be completed this month ... project cost in excess of $500,000). I found Michael easy to work with, able to take a concept or idea and generate a number of designs and/or options to evaluate and select. I've worked with different designers and architects over the years in Cleveland, Chicago and now San Antonio and have found Michael to be the most consistent in accuracy and detail. **★ — Mike C, Aug. 2017** > We engaged Mr. Hyden based on a recommendation received, and recently let another designer go that drug out our plans for 9 months, and had some shortcomings in the design. We had our original plans 80-90% done, and took time out to list the EXACT changes and concerns that didn't get done with the previous designer. Mr. Hyden met at our property/office and took the plans, notes, our check, and some sketches back to his office and began to work on it for 2 weeks. During the initial consult Mr. Hyden stated we only get so much meeting time with him, and it's so much per square foot. He then proceeded to enlarge and inflate our plans, and conduct a pointless meeting with a rudimentary sketch that had numerous errors. We had absolutely no need for this secondary meeting since we covered EVERYTHING in the initial meeting and our plans were nearly complete. We just needed our plans with the changes discussed, and then a meeting to discuss minor items. This plan was like starting from day one! The real aggravation came when we already paid the previous designer over $2500 and then Mr. Hyden took another $250 for wasting our time. In the attachments You can see the plan we had that's more detailed and the plan that was sent to us. **★★★★★ — Joanna Ellis, April 2017** > We are new to Texas and are very fortunate to have come across Michael. All the information he gave me was wonderful and he has been so helpful in pointing us in the right direction to get started. Looking forward to all the possibilities and dreams this company can make come true for us. Thanks again Michael ## Selected projects - [Canyon Mist San Antonio Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/canyon-mist-san-antonio-architecture-pj-vj~2254408) - Location: Boerne, TX - Photos: 50 - Description: Canyon Mist 3600 sq ft Home, this home was designed to fit the lot, it's actually two different houses connected by an open covered area connected by a portico, or "friends foyer."
