She is very personable and she listens. We enjoyed our time of discussion, sketching and working out the final design features. She was readily available and visited our jobsite often. She went with us to visit several wholesalers to pick out cabinet style, wood finishes, fixtures, stone and quartz. Overall, the project was a great success. We will certainly choose Maria for our next project. > > Bernie M **Comment from Maria Lawler Architecture LLC:** > Thank you for the kind words Bernie, I truly appreciate the feedback. **★★★★★ — Claudette Beauchamp, July 2026** > Working with Maria Lawler on the design of our home was nothing short of a gift. > > She came to us through a trusted architect’s recommendation, and from our very first conversation, it was immediately clear why she is so highly regarded. > > Over the course of a year designing our Central Coast home, Maria guided us through every phase with remarkable patience, creativity, and professionalism. We began by sharing inspiration images and early ideas, and she met us with enthusiasm, openness, and thoughtful insight at every turn. Maria consistently presented multiple design directions, clearly articulated her vision, and helped us refine our ideas far beyond what we could have achieved on our own. > > What truly sets Maria apart is her rare ability to balance inspired design with real-world practicality. She was always mindful of our budget while ensuring the home remained beautiful, functional, and true to our goals. Her guidance helped us make confident, informed decisions without ever sacrificing the integrity of the design. > > Despite being based in Oregon, communication was seamless throughout the entire process. Regular video meetings, in-person sessions when possible, and even site visits during construction made her feel fully present and deeply invested from start to finish. We never once felt like we were working with someone at a distance. > > Her attention to detail is exceptional. Every drawing, presentation, and recommendation was clear, organized, and beautifully executed—transforming what could have been an overwhelming process into one that felt smooth and manageable. Maria truly supported us every step of the way. > > Beyond her talent, she is a joy to work with—meticulous, creative, responsive, and deeply committed to her clients. > > We are profoundly grateful for her role in bringing our home to life. If you have the opportunity to work with Maria Lawler, don’t hesitate—you will be in exceptionally capable hands. **Comment from Maria Lawler Architecture LLC:** > Thank you for the kind words Claudette, great clients like you are why I love my work! ## Selected projects - [Portland Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portland-pool-house-pj-vj~7883785) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 14 - [West Linn Mid-Century](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-linn-mid-century-pj-vj~7056195) - Location: West Linn, OR - Photos: 11 - [Portland Bungalow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portland-bungalow-pj-vj~6736293) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 30 [See all 3 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/maria-lawler-architecture-llc-pfvwus-pf~1866671352) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
