Had revolving door on who worked on my home. The engineering work they used took months. Mistakes with HVAC and terribly managed. > Love the design work but cannot recommend. > > 100k design and not happy at all. Very sorry to say. **★★★★★ — Artisan Builders LLC, Feb. 2020** > I have worked with Steven Jallad of MHK Architecture on many Colorado custom home projects. Although most of our projects have taken place in a long distance business relationship, I could not ask for a situation that could work any better. My building company is located in Telluride, Colorado and I am very excited to see MHK expanding into the area. As the director of residential design, Steven Jallad has such a good eye for proportions and being able to integrate all the needs of our clients. The work we have created together is simply stunning. I look forward to future collaborations with MHK Architecture, they are an impressive company with a great group of designers. **★★★★★ — Dennis Winkleman, Sept. 2018** > Mitch Lehde was the architect we chose to build our "dream" retirement home in South Carolina. Having built 7 houses previously, I can say unequivocally that Mitch was the best architect we ever worked with. His ability to understand our vision and transform it into reality made the building process the best we have ever experienced. And the detail and execution he brought to the process was unparalleled. Perhaps as important, he is an individual of exceptional character, integrity and honesty. We built this home "long distance" and we knew Mitch was representing our best interests. My highest recommendation to Mitch and the firm. **★★★★★ — Fairview Custom Homes, Aug. 2018** > MHK is the local industry leader with a broad array of architectural services and resources serving the Carolinas to Florida and beyond. We've hired them for several projects recently and have been impressed by their organization and skillful communication (in addition to their stellar design work). If you're looking for a custom home or commercial building, MHK is the clear choice for the Southeast US! **★★★★★ — NANCY STEARNS, July 2018** > Mitch Lehde of MHK Architecture provided me with professional assistance in modifying a plan for my home that needed substantial revision to suit my needs. He not only incorporated all of my "wish list" hopes and dreams to make my home perfect for me, but also made design suggestions that complimented the style of the home and my personal taste. He is a perfectionist in every minute detail and I could not be more pleased with his design plans and the result he created. He also went above and beyond in helping me resolve some construction issues, long after he had created the architectural plans for me. He is a pleasure to work with, patient, kind, understanding, and unbelievably intuitive. I would highly, highly recommend him!! **★★★★★ — Donna Wyman, July 2018** > We were fortunate to hire Mitch Lehde of MHK Architecture & Planning to help with design of a much-needed gut renovation to our home—and are thrilled with the final product! Mitch is a terrific listener and collaborator who offers creative solutions throughout the design/build process. **★★★★★ — Mike Burns, July 2018** > My company, Galt Innovations, has worked with Mitch for several years now. We are extremely lucky to have such a talented individual to call on for our architecture and planning work. Mitch and his staff are attentive, pay attention to detail, creative, and fun to work with. As a builder, having good plans makes all the difference. I admire their work so much, that I had them design my personal home. I cannot recommend Mitch and his team highly enough. **★★★★★ — Dennis Winkleman, Sept. 2017** > Mitch Lehde was the architect who designed our dream retirement home. The home was completed in 2012 with a project cost of over $2,500.000. Mitch's ability to translate our ideas into a stunning home were unparalleled. His involvement in the project from conceptualization to completion was critical to our building process, especially since we were building in South Carolina but still living in Wisconsin. I can recommend him unconditionally and would not hesitate to use him again. In building 7 homes during our lifetime, his expertise and guidance made this last building experience the best. **★★★★★ — George Biediger, Sept. 2017** > We worked in close collaboration with Mitch Lehde to design and manage construction of this lake house designed to evoke a renovated mountain lodge. Mitch was very flexible and responsive in incorporating found repurposed materials and natural materials which included locust logs for the deck and porch posts, poplar bark siding and mountain laurel for railings and accents. He also collaborated with our builder to build this house which was awarded the SC Home Builders Assn. Pinnacle Award and was featured in the Summer 2015 At Home magazine. > > I highly recommend Mitch Lehde **★★★★★ — NANCY STEARNS, Sept. 2017** > I was building a new home, with a very general floor plan in mind... Mitch Lehde customized it for me and I could not be more pleased with the design, function, and attention to detail that he integrated into my final result. Mitch is very easy to work with and his creativity, knowledge, experience, and intuitive skills came together to give me my dream house... I would highly, highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — Bruce Pasquarella, Sept. 2017** > Mitch was one of the most creative architects I have had the pleasure to work with. Being a preferred builder in the Cliffs communities since 2006 I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of architects. Mitch's attention to detail and ability to understand his customers needs are in excellent. Choosing Mitch and his team to design your project would be a decesion you will be 100% satisfied with! **★★★★★ — William Anderson, Sept. 2017** > MHK (or Mitch) who we worked with, really listens to the client, which can be rare in this field sometimes. But that ability really gives him a fantastic general feel for what the customer is looking for. So instead of forcing the architect's view onto the customer, he asks questions, listens well and then provides endless helpful suggestions/ideas to make the finish project even better than the client imagined! We highly recommend and could not have been more pleased! ## Selected projects - [Telluride \| Alta Lake House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/telluride-alta-lake-house-pj-vj~5788011) - Location: Telluride, CO - Photos: 35 - Description: Mountain cabin in the woods - [Lake Park Estate; Old Naples](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-park-estate-old-naples-pj-vj~2832652) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: Take a breath of fresh air as you step into this beautiful coastal-contemporary home, designed by MHK Architecture and constructed with Aercon AAC concrete.
