### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Rio Ingram, March 2018**

> Josh does an OUTSTANDING job! He is very honest, easy to talk to and will help you design the home of your dreams. He is very transparent through the process and makes you feel like he is in your corner every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know in the Seattle area looking for architect needs.

**★★★★★ — Eugene Balogh, Oct. 2017**

> We wanted to rebuild our deck to create an indoor/outdoor space to open our main living area to the outdoors and feature our view.  Josh did incredible work designing a beautiful covered deck.  A Nanawall opens onto the deck from our living room.  Josh's creativity, gift for design, professionalism and responsiveness made him a joy to work with.  I highly recommend his services.

**★★★★★ — v2 arch, June 2017**

> Josh is GREAT to work with.  His design eye is amazing.  He knows how to make things look good, but he also takes a creative approach to make his designs work within in a budget.
>
> He knows his stuff.  Any question you need answered he has the information at his finger tips.  He can quickly understand the scope of a project and understand the ramifications any design decisions make on that scope.
>
> And above all he's fun to work with.  He lives and breathes construction and design.  His passion is palpable and infectious.  His commitment and joy shine through in every step in the design and construction process.

**★★★★★ — THOMAS HARTSHORN, May 2017**

> I have worked with JOSH on a number of projects, including his personal residence. I found him to be very professional and detail oriented. I liked the different design elements he provided.

**★★★★★ — Jesus Zavala, April 2017**

> Josh architecture is a great professional and great company that takes the time to know your business, mission statement, and local community to customize your business need and provide the most valuable options that cater to your project needs. Great professional, great company, great team, and very reliable.

**★★★★★ — Mike Henderson, April 2017**

> We did a major remodel of our home six years ago with Josh, now we are building a new house.  We met with Josh to do a cost feasibility study before even making an offer on the lot.  Based on that we proceeded.  The project has grown from a beachfront vacation cabin to the home we will move to when complete.  We love Josh's design and we hope we can fully execute it in spite of cost pressures in the current construction market.  Josh helped us find our contractor after the first three we looked at gave budget busting bids.  We have a long way to go as we have just broken ground.  In spite of that we feel it will be a home we will love and be unique with a very thoughtful, impressive, and functional design ... all thanks to Josh and his team.

**★★★★★ — Mike Peterson, April 2017**

> I have worked with Josh on several projects, and I can't wait for the next one! What a great guy.

**★★★★★ — Zach Mayer, April 2017**

> Josh is a talented designer who I have greatly enjoyed working with in the past. He has great ideas and experience with design and construction. His communication style is very straight forward and clear. He was always able to explain specific design considerations and often presented alternative options. I highly recommend his services.

**★★★★★ — A-1 NW Partners Concrete Construction, April 2017**

> I have been working with Architects for 40 years. I was so impressed with Josh. He's very Professional, Compassionate in his work. Extremely helpful at the most challenging Projects to the smallest simple projects. Would I work with Josh again? In a heartbeat. I wish all Architects mind set was similar to Josh's. He will make your Dreams come true  .

**★★★★★ — Jeremy Katz, April 2017**

> Josh did a great job drawing up plans and co-ordinating the construction of a project at my house. I have engaged him again for another larger project.  He pays attention to detail and communicated very well with me throughout the process.

**★★★★★ — Marilynn Ward, April 2017**

> I have taught on staff with Josh for several years at the Art Institute of Seattle.  I have found him to be very professional and knowledgeable and a strong asset to fellow instructors as well as our students.

**★★★★★ — Scott Berdell, April 2017**

> Josh is the ultimate professional. He works extremely hard and if there are time or budget constraints he is capable of successfully guiding the process through to completion to your satisfaction. I recommend him frequently without any hesitation.
