We found their team to be professional, creative, detailed, and proactive. We look forward having more projects together! **★★★★★ — Don Tankersley & Co., Oct. 2020** > We had the opportunity to work with Jeff and Jenny on a remodel and addition of a John Storrs house in the SW Hills. I can not say enough good things about our collaboration. Amazing existing home, wonderful site, dream clients, and their ideas for the new space were unique, bold, and spot on. It is always delicate to add on to an architecturally significant house, and they did it with grace, respect and without fear. We at DTC hope to work together on many more projects in the years to come. Keep up the good work. **★★★★★ — Paige & Jeff Bennett, Jan. 2020** > Jeff and Jenny made it easy to work with them, and it felt like a collaborative process from the very beginning. They took the time to get to know us and this was critical as the architectural design and interior finishings developed. The end product reflects us in all ways. We appreciated their regular and cohesive communication, as our home was designed and built all while we were living 2000 miles away. **★★★★★ — L C, Jan. 2020** > This highly recommended design studio was able to sort through numerous ideas for our new, contemporary home and create a common thread and color scheme that was carried seamlessly throughout the house via fabric, tile, paint, flooring, lighting and furniture selections. Their studio is well connected within the community and worked with trusted craftspeople to create custom pieces specific to our wishes and space requirements. Our home turned out welcoming, serene, and functional in design. > The designers were good listeners, attentive to details, and provided consistent and effective communication throughout project. We appreciated the timely deliverables, and the fact that appointment times were kept and productive throughout the process. **★★★★★ — somogyimann, Jan. 2020** > I have had a pleasure to work with Jenny on two projects. Her personal attention to every detail put me at ease. Her great sense of aesthetics and creative mind resulted into a beautiful living space what far exceeded my expectations. She also designed our custom made furniture and guided me through decision making when it came to buying other pieces. I would highly recommend her services. **★★★★★ — Birdsmouth, Aug. 2016** > Working with Jenny and Jeff was a highly professional, creative and collaborative experience and I would recommend them highly to any of our clients. They provided great details on the plans and the lines of communication were always open and responsive. It was a successful partnership between us as the builder, the design team, and the clients-- one we hope to replicate again in the future. On top of it all, the design was not only stunning, but it made great use of the space and functions perfectly for the clients lifestyle. Great team, and great work! **★★★★★ — Cristina Yen, April 2016** > I have worked with Guggenheim Studio for the past several years with our two condos and my business. Jenny is observant and a good listener. She offers insight and solutions that take your needs and wants into consideration with taste. I trust her sense of aesthetic and judgement, and I cannot imagine working with anybody else! **★★★★★ — Master Furniture Makers LLC, April 2016** > I have worked with Guggenheim Architecture + Design Studio for several years, creating fine furniture and cabinetry for their clients. Working with Architects and Interior Designers since 1998, I have found that many just opt for copying current trends...that is not the case with Jenny and Jeff. Both strive to bring original and innovative designs to all of their projects. They work as a great team ! I have been very impressed by their love for meticulous attention to detail and their ability to communicate their ideas well to the craftsperson. Jenny and Jeff have been a true joy to work with and I highly recommend them ! **★★★★★ — Carley Kahn LLC, April 2016** > I am always so excited when the Guggenheims choose to use one of my textiles. Their work is so beautiful and original, it is thrilling to see how their spaces come together. Beyond working together professionally, I will also be hiring them to design a master bedroom addition to my house. From the initial meeting, it was clear to me that Jenny and Jeff have a real gift for creative solutions, attention to detail, and the talent to create modern yet warm spaces, which is just how I want my home to feel. **★★★★★ — Megan Mayfield, April 2016** > I work for Ferguson Bath, Kitchen, and Lighting Gallery and have worked with Jenny and her clients on several projects, helping them with their selections. Jenny has a knack for timeless, classy design and is thoughtful when it comes to guiding clients in their decision making. She is a great listener, always has a smile on her face, and is a pleasure to work with! **★★★★★ — Cascade Contracting, April 2016** > We have had the pleasure to work with Guggenheim Architecture on both a professional and personal level. All of our experiences have been great. The personal attention both Jenny and Jeff gives to their clients mirrors that of our own at Cascade Contracting. When Cascade teams up with Guggenheim Architecture on a project the clients can rest assured they are in great hands and will enjoy their building experience. **★★★★★ — Akos Construction, Sept. 2015** > We've done three projects with Guggenheim Studio and love working with them. On our most recent project they were able to come up with some great solutions to maximize our floor plan and we were thrilled with the results. Their attention to detail is highly appreciated and we love the creative and beautiful designs they develop. Looking forward to many more projects together! **Comment from Guggenheim Architecture + Design Studio:** > Thanks so much for your review – we look forward to our next project together! ## Selected projects - [Palm Springs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palm-springs-pj-vj~7742070) - Location: Palm Springs, CA - Photos: 23 - [Greenleaf](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenleaf-pj-vj~7576629) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 13 - [Haiku Maui Compound](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/haiku-maui-compound-pj-vj~4202129) - Location: Haiku-Pauwela, HI - Photos: 24 - Description: Inspired by the Scandinavian barn vernacular, this Upcountry Maui cottage and barn for Cloth and Goods' Melissa Newirth and Crossing the Threshold's David Johnson provides a peaceful minimalist retreat and respite for family gatherings.
