**★★★★★ — vlado radic, June 2022**

> I was so lucky to find Alex to be my architect to designing the home of our dream in Marco Island, Florida.
> Quality, value, caring, creative, very friendly are the words that come to my mind when I think of my experience with Alex.
> From the beginning of the process, he has been professional, imaginative, incorporated many creative ideas seamlessly into our plan and flexible to our wants and needs. He really treated me like good friend throughout the entire project. What wonderful person to work with! I hope to work with him again and I highly recommend him to all mine friends.

**★★★★★ — Gregory Caiazzo, April 2021**

> Designer, developer and mentor only begins to describe the service that Alex Nicolas provides for the homeowner/builder.  We were immediately drawn to him because of his creative ideas to utilize our property to its fullest.  Our back and forth interaction helped to create a functional, yet beautiful design as an extension to our home.  The development and execution of the plans was only the first step in our continued relationship with Alex.  Each part of the process, he walked us through the challenges of permitting, inspections, subcontractors and so much more.  He brought balance and perspective.  In a time when it is important to get value for the investment, Alex has proven himself to be worth every penny.
>
> I would work with him on any project.  The proof is in the product which is beautiful and meets our needs.

**★★★★★ — Alexander David, April 2021**

> Alex had been incredible since day 1.  He has designed a beautiful waterfront home for my wife and I.  Being new to this custom home building process you can imagine we had a lot of questions, from our first conversation it became clear Alex knew exactly what questions to ask and has been a wealth of knowledge throughout the process.  His attention to detail and constant communication throughout the process are truly invaluable.  I would absolutely recommend!
