| SPIRAL ARCHITECTS |

Gene is a talented and experienced architect with a long history of successful projects as well as a long list of satisfied clients. He understands how to balance form and function while always striving for the most authentic and timeless outcome. We have recommended Gene to a number of close friends and will continue to do so. Gene is a true professional and someone that we found a pleasure to work with.

My review today may not include the great opportunity of having to collaborate with Gene on an architectural project but it is an accolade to his sincerity at trying to help us make it a possibility ! We contacted Gene beginning of this year so we could bring him on board to build our dream home in Tucson,AZ. He was so prompt and so generous to have met us online and given us the time to explore our expectations under his guidance as to what the possibilities are out there and finally having us reach our goal. Our goal unfortunately did not include having to go with building a house with him as of yet but just that stimulus I received in engaging with him and envisioning an abode through his existing projects brought us to a clarity as to what we really needed as a family hence deciding upon a prebuilt home here in Tucson! This review is exclusively in appreciation to the person Gene is , which I only got a glimpse of yet his humility and assistance made me come to a very important decision in our lives at that point of buying the right house and that should say a lot about how it must actually be to work with him. For when you are deciding upon who you want to be with while trying to achieve such a magnanimous task of building your home , you sure want to be in the right hands ! And I believe Gene is the right person for that ! Thanks so much and we hope to be doing a project with you soon in the future ! Warmest regards, The Bhurgri Family .

Gene was my architect for an extensive restoration project on a historic adobe residence. His knowledge, experience, and eye for detail helped achieve a finished product that exceeded my high expectations. His thoughtfulness, commitment, and willingness to listen made that project run smoothly and successfully. While many architects I interviewed for the project seemed intent imposing their own will, Gene was able to guide and enhance the vision I already had, and bring it to a transcendent reality. His ability, along with his honesty and diligence made him a trusted friend and ally, and not merely just a hired hand.

Gene was the architect for the design and construction of our home., a nearly 2 year long project. He is extremely talented, creative, and most importantly a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail is impressive as is his strong work ethic. Highly recommend!

We can not speak highly enough of Gene Kniaz and Spiral Architects. We brought Gene into our project after struggling to reach our vision with another architectural firm. Gene listened intently to our needs and brought solutions that provided both a high level of authenticity and architectural character but were considerate of our budgetary needs. Gene did a remarkable job of integrating reclaimed materials from France with materials sourced locally to give us the authentic Mediterranean style we were trying to achieve. We were most impressed by his attention to detail and quick response to our needs. We have heard many times from our general contractor that Gene's work and accessibility are unparalleled. We give Gene and Spiral Architects our highest recommendation.
