Scrafano Architects

We have collaborated with Scrafano on multiple projects over the last several years and are actively engaged in 2-3 projects together at any given time. Elissa has an upbeat positive energy with a passion for guiding clients through the process of understanding how to achieve their goals and converting them into architectural plans that we as the builder can execute. Their participation does not stop at design, and they are eager to participate in the evolution in the project and trouble shoot issues and adjustments as they arise. It has been a pleasure to work with her and we can absolutely recommend her. In fact, we have recommended her to several clients and are engaged in a handful or highly collaborative design-build initiatives together.

We set off to find an architect who could transform an otherwise bland 1970’s box into a gleaming mid-century wonder with all of the modern conveniences. Elissa and her crew understood our vision almost immediately and created a design that was practical and lived up to our expectations. Thereafter and through the whole design and construction process, Elissa, Carol and their team out of Chicago were a joy to work with. They were flexible but they also kept our expectations and vision inline. If you want to hire a team that is practical, efficient and capable of bringing your expectations to life, Scrafano Architects is a great choice!

I recently remodeled my ranch style 1900 sq. ft house into a modern 3000 sq. ft efficient open floor pIan style. I worked with Elissa from Scrafano Architects on my home. She was creative, understanding and overall a pleasure to work. Elissa helped us create the home of our dreams!

I have worked closely with Scrafano Architects on a handful of projects now and they are extremely Talented and Professional. We have an amazing symbiosis and I look forward to working with them again soon!

I have worked with Scrafano Architects on four projects over the last 12 years and have been thrilled, amazed and over joyed with the level of care, professionalism attention to detail and talent brought to each project. Although each project was stressful with tight deadline, budgets and puzzles that often seemed impossible to solve, Scrafano Architects did their jobs so well, that it made the process and my life easy and stress free as possible. I can't say enough great things about Elissa Scrafano and her team. They are smart, cutting edge and good at what they do. Beyond that, they are truly nice, lovely people who have a passion for excellence

We hired Scrafano to re-imagine our dated, compartmentalized Chicago home. We needed additional space and wanted to create a more open living plan but we weren't sure what was possible. Elissa and the Scrafano team brought creativity, enthusiasm and momentum that really made the project happen. They knew immediately what we were going for and managed to not just bring our vision to life but improve on it in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I truly love everything about our "new" home and was so fortunate to have Scrafano Architects with me every step of the way.
