**★★★★★ — Blair Meeks, Jan. 2019**

> Stacie is simply tremendous. My wife and I are super happy we’ve been able to work with her on designing our new home. She took our nebulous but lengthy ideas about what we wanted and helped hone our focus into a result that we could not have imagined ourselves. We are thrilled with the design. She keeps a tight eye on cost and her deep knowledge of the business, what it takes to build as well as practical things like livability and energy savings have given us a better result through a remarkably smooth process. You expect architects to know designs and plans, and she knows those well, but where Stacie stands out and the real joy in working with her is her personality. She is a blast to work with and has an amazing ability to artfully use her knowledge and experience to listen, bring to life and then evolve projects into plans and construction that make every side of your brain happy. We would enthusiastically recommend Stacie to anyone who is considering any type of rebuild, remodel or new home construction.

**★★★★★ — nscott1982, Feb. 2016**

> Reform listened to our ideas, space needs, and how our family lives and then gave was excellent plans we love. Reform worked at our pace and helped us find contractors to bid the project with. We are very happy with our new home.

**Comment from Reform inc.:**

> Thank you, Scott family!  I enjoyed working with you all and I am thrilled you love your new home.

**★★★★★ — decaturkj, July 2014**

> The Reform team is the best of the best.  We had a terrific experience working with Reform throughout our historic renovation/addition, from design to construction and beyond.  Although nothing ever goes entirely according to plan when you're dealing with a 100 year old house, the process was as seamless as it could have been and actually a lot of fun.  We loved working with them so much that we missed them when the project was over.  We are so happy with our home!  We'll use them again without the slightest hestitation.

**★★★★★ — 315s11th, April 2014**

> Re:Form took a dusty, unused corner of our garage and turned it into my favorite room in the house.  I am now the happy owner of a "she-cave", a great spa bathroom. The two rooms (powder and bath)were designed to take full advantage of the space. Included in the renovation were a wall full of cabinets, a great shower with a bench seat and plenty of cubbies for shampoo, soap , and scrubs

**Comment from Reform inc.:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words!  We heart She Caves.  Every girl should have one.

**★★★★★ — Barb Shadomy, Dec. 2012**

> When we purchased Stonehurst, a historic home and bed & breakfast in Midtown Atlanta, we wanted to make sure our planned extensive renovation was not only true to the historic nature of the 1896 home but also met Southface and Earthcraft House's green building standards.
>
> In partnering with re:FORM we found an essential partner - their experience with historic home renovation and expertise working with the Georgia State Historic Preservation Division to ensure we received historic tax credits was invaluable.
>
> Collaborating with us from Re:FORM Architects was owner and award-winning designer Stacie Monroe, who beautifully coordinated our design and build ensuring that the result exceeded Earthcraft standards. Stacie handled the exterior architecture and her partner Erin Christman worked with us on the successful incorporation of modern touches inside the home.
>
> With re:FORM's help we were able to include important eco-friendly improvements like icynene whole-house insulation, solar panels for generating hot water, and state-of-the-art water harvesting and grey water systems without sacrificing any of our home's character defining features.

**Comment from Reform inc.:**

> Thank you, Barb, for such a wonderful review.  It is a glorious place and it was an honor to be involved.

**★★★★★ — js500, Sept. 2012**

> Stacie at re:FORM is a joy to work with.  We hired her to help us add an office/guest room and a full bathroom over our detached garage.  She is very budget conscious, always provides good status updates, and quickly turned around our project.  Most importantly to us, the design looks great and she tended to every detail.  We would not hesitate to hire her again.

**Comment from Reform inc.:**

> Thank you for such a nice review.  I enjoyed working with you guys!

**★★★★★ — Emily, Aug. 2012**

> Working with Stacie Monroe of Reform Architects has been a pleasure. We are adding an entire second story to our house and significantly changing the ground floor. Our house was quite small, and while we are adding a second story, we had to be creative about how to fit everything that we wanted. Stacie helped us prioritize our goals, offered creative ideas and solutions, and was accessible throughout the process. We highly recommend her.
