**★★★★★ — speedy61, Nov. 2014**

> Scott designed our home, which is under construction. He took all our input, revised the plans many times based on our input and came up with a plan that totally nailed the site. He saw things that we never would have. He kept deadlines and kept us moving. He also gave us realistic advice about costs, even though it wasn't always what we wanted to hear. He's been with us every step of the way during construction but only when necessary. He doesn't hoover. Within the industry, every sub we've used has been thankful for his very detailed plans. He's a perfectionist. In short, anyone thinking of building a house couldn't do better than Scott Gilbride.

**★★★★★ — Cherie Myrick Interiors, April 2013**

> As an Interior Designer I have been fortunate to work with Scott on several projects over the years.  Scott is able to filter his clients ideas and translate them into reality effortlessly.  I know that when I work on a project with Scott it will go smoothly and he will be there to see the project through to the end.

**★★★★★ — paulawatts, Feb. 2013**

> I have had the extreme privilege of photographing Scott Gilbride's architectural work in Oregon.  Not only am I constantly amazed at the beauty and design of his homes, I am blown away by how his client's talk about him and his work. When all is said and done and it's time to photograph the new residence, his clients are still raving about Scott and the attention to detail and care he provided. Across the board.
> In addition, his unique architectural design elements and ability to seamlessly  incorporate the connection between the exterior environment and the interior architecture makes Scott the best.

**★★★★★ — Dansky Handcrafted LLC, Feb. 2013**

> Working with Scott Gilbride always makes us hone our skills, his projects are cutting edge, thought out and beautifully proportioned. The spaces he plans and the natural lighting he provides always makes our cabinetry shine.

**★★★★★ — Nicholas Watts, Feb. 2013**

> We worked with Scott Gilbride many times. We have been able to photograph numerous projects that Scott has been the architect of. Each project proved to be exceptional in quality and creativity of design.
>
> Scott is very professional and enjoyable to work with. These qualities are the most valued ones anyone might want  to be apart of any architectural design project.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Flooring?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you share details about the flooring used in this home gym please?

A: I believe it was marmoleum - not sure which color.

**Q: What are the lights on the ceiling?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I want to install downlights on my deck where we have a corrugated ceiling but have been told I can't do that. What sort of lights are these?

A: These are just recessed cans - the lights were boxed with metal trims with some depth, so they are slightly proud of the corrugated metal - yes it can be done -pretty simple.  Best to show your crews these photos.

**Q: Beautiful place!** *(in Photo Questions)*

I'm remodeling my vacation house in Tumalo and want to create this same rustic modern vibe. What kind of floors are these? They look old, but the house is obviously new.

A: reclaimed oak

I love the art! Please share the source. Thank you!
