Melissa Destree and her team worked with us to consider the architecture, design and budget elements of the entire project. She created a beautiful detached garage to complement our home's character and used our existing space to bring a functional and visually appealing kitchen to life as well as transform other awkward areas into usable space. Destree is accessible and practical and always responsive. No question is dumb and no request goes unconsidered. We highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — lab999, Nov. 2014** > We used Jason Ekstrom, who is an architect with this firm. He designed our gorgeous home in Middleton Hills. He was wonderful to work with - available, conscientious, creative and practical, approachable. Since he designed our home, we have seen several other new houses in the neighborhood designed by him. You can recognize his work by the detail, uniqueness, and elegance. I believe when it is time for us to retire and sell this house, that it will increase the cache (and value) because he was the architect. **★★★★★ — Jill Destree Blumer, Nov. 2013** > Melissa Destree has helped design two residences for me. Her interpretation of her client's wants and needs is always excellent! ## Selected projects - [Refined Log Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refined-log-home-pj-vj~360947) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: This beautiful log home exemplifies rustic elegance.
