Their expertise and attention to detail left me thrilled and fully satisfied. Throughout the entire process, they promptly addressed any challenges that arose during the design and permitting stages, ensuring that all requirements and modifications were promptly attended to. This seamless support allowed us to proceed without any interruptions. I wholeheartedly endorse Mark and his team, and encourage anyone looking for modern house plans, or to build their home from the ground up to hire Mark Stewart Home Design. **★ — HU-984956771, June 2021** > Mark Stewart caught our attention with his designs we found on his site. In our initial consultation with him he seemed very professional and easy to work with. This is where it ended. We provided him with a lot of information to begin with, and yet it still took him more than three times the time he said and was very impatient with snide remarks when dealing with changes. I attempted to address this with him and thought we had worked things out, but his slow responses and poor attitude continued to the point where we decided to find someone else. When I notified him of this, he responded curtly and critically instead of attempting to identify the problem or work things out, and certainly didn't offer any compensation for not being able to complete the project; his initial deposit was more than the total cost for who we used. We were willing to pay the triple to quadruple rate he charges if we would have received the product we expected from him, but the unprofessionalism, in both attitude and results, were disheartening and disappointing. It definitely seems Mark has creative talent, but if you don't want to deal with a prima donna, look elsewhere. **★★★★★ — Josh Brakel, Dec. 2018** > Mark and his team are very dedicated and easy to work with! > Marks unique ability to translate your ideas into reality makes a stressful process enjoyable. > They never gave us the feeling they were just trying to "get it done" . They wanted us to love it, and we do! **Comment from Mark Stewart Home Design:** > Thank you very much Josh! > You have been a pleasure to work with and your home is going to be wonderful! **★★★★★ — Country Air Custom Homes, Dec. 2018** > I have been in construction business since 1995 and used many home Designers and architects and Marks company is by far the most professional and detail oriented company I have used. I strongly recommend them and plan to use them for future projects **★★★★★ — StraightLine Design, Dec. 2018** > We highly recommend working with Mark Stewart. We found a plan online oh his that we loved, but it wasn't quite perfect for our family. Mark helped us redesign the plan and customize it to what we had been thinking and dreaming up. He was so easy to work with, very responsive, and reasonable when we had to make changes. He communicated with us well and really listened to our goals that we were wanting to accomplish. When we build again someday, we will definitely be working with Mark Stewart again. Thank you so much for helping us create our dream house. **Comment from Mark Stewart Home Design:** > Thank you Eric! The feeling is mutual by the way. You were a breeze to work for, and I cannot wait to see pictures of your beautiful home! **★★★★★ — HU-528773366, Dec. 2018** > Mark is very talented gets things done on time. His staff is responsive and very helpful. I enjoy the large selection of plans. **★★★★★ — Erik Nyseth, Dec. 2018** > We looked at a few designers prior to selecting Mark Stewart for a custom home design. Ultimately, Mark has exceeded our expectations in every way. I don't think we could be happier with our choice. Not only is Mark priced competitively compared to the other options, but he does incredible work, is very responsive, and is great to work with. I can't say enough good things honestly. **★★★★★ — Bill Seroyer, Dec. 2018** > Mark Stewart Design did an incredible job for me on a home design project. I am absolutely thrilled and satisfied with their work. Most importantly, every issue that came up during the process of design and permitting, was responded to immediately to correct, create or cure any requirements or changes we needed to continue without interruption. I would highly recommend Mark Stewart Home Design and feel free to contact me for information or comments. **Comment from Mark Stewart Home Design:** > Thank you a ton Bill! We really have enjoyed working with you too! **★★★★★ — HU-127509553, Dec. 2018** > Mark listened and took the time to really get what we wanted. We did a great deal of fine tuning and he was very patient with revisions we requested. I think we probably exceeded the time he has budgeted for our plans by a fairly significant amount but he stayed with us and produced the plan we were looking for. He then stayed with us again when the plot plan was subjected to an inordinate number of pretty minute revisions required by the building jurisdiction. My five star rating is both for how graciously Mark stayed with us through the process and the really good plan he produced. We had a unique constraint, integrating our home design with an existing historic building and Mark hit it out of the park. **Comment from Mark Stewart Home Design:** > Thank you so much! Really appreciate you taking the time to post this.. > MSHD **★★★★★ — HU-616722343, Dec. 2018** > Mark Stewart Home Design has been a pleasure to work with! They have gone the extra mile with making sure that we are satisfied with their designs....customer service is top notch! **★★★★★ — M Young, Jan. 2018** > We are planning to build a custom home in Central Oregon and were introduced to Mark Stewart by our prospective home builder. We have found Mark to be very pleasant and easy to work with. He took our ideas for our future retirement home/family gathering place and put them to paper. While we had very clear ideas and opinions about what we wanted, Mark would use his expertise to make recommendations and changes where needed. We live in California and have had to work with Mark via the telephone or e-mail. While we were a little nervous about this initially, this has proven to be very efficient. He is always quick to respond to our messages and requests and gets the revised plans to us in a very timely manner. We highly recommend him and would definitely work with him again if needed. **Comment from Mark Stewart Home Design:** > Thank you very much Ron and Maybelene! > You have been a true pleasure to work with and I love the results of our collaboration! **★★★★★ — Mike Riddle Construction LLC, Dec. 2017** > As a Custom Home Builder, I had the pleasure of working with Mark Stewart to design the 2018 Home Builders Association “Showcase Home” in Salem, Or. After seeing Mark’s creative and eye catching plans on the internet, I had to call him. On the 2nd ring, Mark himself answered..... the owner of a very successful Architecture firm answering his own calls.. impressive! He responded to my inquires with confidence and enthusiasm. Mark not only delivered on every due date promise, the plan he created from my not-so-easy list of requirements was exceptional. Mark was refreshing to work with! I would HIGHLY recommend you give him the opportunity to exceed your expectations to transform your dream into reality. ## Selected projects - [Barn House Plans](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barn-house-plans-pj-vj~7204854) - Location: Wilsonville, OR - Photos: 8 - Description: Discover our newest collection of Modern Barndominium Plans and Barn Style Home Designs, perfect for homebuyers who appreciate the rustic yet comfortable and spacious feel of barn houses.

What brand, type, etc would you recommend? A: Thank you for your purchase! It is an amazing home... Milgard would be my first choice in a vinyl window. If you are in a position to consider wood windows, Marvin has an incredible line.. **Q: Estimate cost to build** *(in Photo Questions)* We are planning to purchase and build this model. But are concerned about the costs to build this model. We live in Gardnerville, Nevada and were wondering if anyone has built this design yet? We noticed the smaller version was built MMA-640 for between $50,000-$75,000. Does that cost include everything from start to finish (engineering plans for foundation/electricity/plumbing hookup)? A: With the windows and stone shown in this one costs could be $150 per sq. foot.. If you were to substitute different siding, it would save significant money.. The best place to get an estimate though is through a local builder or two.. Things differ in various parts of the country.. **Q: Siding color** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you mind sharing the siding color? A: Hi timandshannon! I Unfortunately, we do not know what siding was used for this home. **Q: Design Dilemma** *(in Design Dilemma)* Theoretically, If you have brown doors and windows and beige couch which color would be more preferable for the laminate flooring? A: You don't have to use either of those colors. A shade between beige and brown would probably be best. **Q: Another area needing advice** *(in Design Dilemma)* My staircase has a wall about half way up that has a shelf area to put something.. Just painted and now I need to put something there with pictures on or some kind of wall art on both sides. Any suggestions is kindly appreciated :-) A: I agree with Nancy; I would lean towards just putting a single statement piece in the center, and avoiding putting anything on the sides. If you did do something on the sides, I would avoid putting anything large in the center and just keeping the same motif across all three panels (family pictures, art pieces, etc.) **Q: Cabinet Hardware Dilemma** *(in Design Dilemma)* Please help! We are doing a small reno on our kitchen. Having the ceiling removed and painting kitchen cabinets in off-white and do not know what hardware to use, polished chrome or polished brass? New hood and all appliances are stainless steel but the brass is so much softer visually. What to do? A: I'm siding with tedbixby, a satin nickel or black would be perfect. Brass doesn't quite go and chrome is going to be too much visually. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-13.*
