Luciole Design Inc.

I met with Annette and Mike after our first meeting to conceptualize our plans for a modern, streamlined industrial design for our backyard remodel. I found them competent, open and engaging. While Mike brings his talent for design and his vast knowlege of specifics to the table, Annette sees the picture and the overall vision. Their talent lies in how their two approaches work together. We collaborated on an exciting design that encompassed sculpture, shade, differences in shape, texture, color and scale. The project ended up containing two entertaining areas, two shade structure, gabion walls, industrial galvanized gardening containers, a giant galvanized gate and patterned, colored concrete with a full outdoor kitchen and landscaping that was completely drought-tolerant. They took into account our family's needs and gave terrific recommendations for our general contractor, Mr. Steve Dobson. While the project went above budget, that was our choice, not theirs. To top it off, they came to photograph the job and post the images on their website, with our complete blessing. We hope to work with them again. They are delightful and creative and collaborative to boot!
