Bob is a creative and thoughtful architect. He brings a delightful passion and a breadth of experience to his residential design work. Bob works hard at conveying his design work clearly. For his clients, he makes fantastic use of 3d modeling software to give them a crisp virtual experience with his designs. For builders, Bob provides detailed plans with multi-colored lines and notes that make the work of reading his plans and building his designs easier. Bob is excellent to work with.

Rob has been a great resource for us after we bought an off the grid, fixer upper in South Woodstock, VT four years ago.. He has guided us through three projects now, including outside deck and front garden area, kitchen and great room remodel, and the mud room to die for. He is eminently practical and efficient, while at the same time being creative and whimsical when needed. He is a great pleasure to work with and delivers what he promises, on time and on budget. Our project planned for next year: construction of the fern house within listening distance from our stream. Bruce and Christine from S Woodstock

Bob was great to work with and provided the ideas we needed to make the project work for us. Maintaining the character of a 200 year old house, yet updating certain aspects is a delicate balancing act. We never could have accomplished this without Bob's vision.

I have worked with Bob over many years evolving into high performance building which Bob has been a leader in driving and implementing. His research and willingness to move in new directions has put him in the forefront of the high performance building movement.

Bob Swinburne is very easy to work with. He listened very well to what I needed and thoughtfully offered suggestions with full explanations and respect. I trusted him because of this, followed his recommendations, and am still as delighted with his design as I was at first. I would work with him again, anytime.

Currently working with this architect on a custom home in southern Vermont. Works closely with us, is fastidious, smart, and patient! He blends building science with a creative, stylistic eye. I trust him completely.
