**★★★★★ — Michael Daly, May 2017**

> Devin did the planning and supervised the initial planting for our back yard.  The pictures are just after planting, so very early stages.  We will be adding plants each year and see how it develops.  We were very happy working with Devin.  He was very agreeable to listening to my wife's ideas and how to incorporate them into the plan.  We are currently working with Devin on the front yard this spring.  Can't recommend him enough.

**★★★★★ — Carol Hammond, May 2017**

> Devin is exceptional. Besides being very easy to work with, he was pleasant and always available. Thanks to him I have a gorgeous home! I highly recommend!!!!!

**★★★★★ — leslie faber, Jan. 2017**

> Kimmel Studio provided a wonderful garden design that enhanced the appearance of my property in a tremendous way. I have received many compliments and I plan to use Kimmel Studio for all my future projects.

  - Location: Queenstown, MD
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: "With its simple geometry and bucolic setting overlooking a quiet river of the Eastern Shore, this gem at the edge of a field could easily be mistaken for a working barn. Vertical wood cladding leads the eye upward. A silo is wrapped in corrugated steel and secured with cables set at uneven intervals that gradually increase as they march up the silo, replicating an actual farm silo. Opening a pair of two-story barn doors on the gable end, you could easily imagine tractors, farm animals, bales of…

  - Location: Queenstown, MD
  - Photos: 18
  - Description: Inspired by tidewater farms of Maryland's Eastern Shore, this home was designed as an ensemble of buildings connected by enclosed and open porches. The modern farmhouse looks as if it were composed of structures that were built over time, and that were then connected. This helps with the overall massing and scale of the home. The tidewater home features river views on three sides. Photography: Pete Albert

Four and a half, semi-forested acres with many well-established trees and vegetation surround the stone country home. T…

  - Description: Kimmel Studio Transforms Old Barn into Stylish Rustic House This clever conversion transforms an old and dark barn into a comfortable home.

The owners wanted to infuse new life into the space. The design by Kimmel Studio transformed it into an informal yet sophisticated multi-purpose space. Because Kimmel Studio added a sleeping…
