Design Traditions

I have worked with Kim for over 7 years after a referral from another builder. She is extremely talented, very efficient and a true pleasure to work with. I have completed 7 projects with Kim and she has done a tremendous job on every one! The projects ranged in price from $850K to over $2,000,000. I cannot recommend anyone higher than I would recommend Kim. She is absolutely incredible!

We worked with Kim to design a new home and guest house in the Sierra Nevada mountains near Lake Tahoe. We enjoyed working with her and found her to be very professional and knowledgeable about home design and construction. She is a good listener, patient and was always open to making changes as the design process unfolded. We were thrilled with her creative design concepts and her timely completion of the project. Her periodic input during the construction phase was much appreciated which kept the building contractor on his toes. We would highly recommend Kim to others seeking a very gifted home designer who is easy to work with and who produces professional, timely and high quality house plans.

We hired Design Traditions to design our ranch home in Texas . We were all over the page in what we wanted. Kim Gilpatrick kept us focused and delivered a beautiful, efficient home of our dreams. She took our style, personalities and blended that with her talent. If we were ever to build again, she would be immediately hired .

Kim Gilpatrick (Design Traditions) is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond in all she does. From the beginning of our project (building a new home) she was determined to make it uniquely ours, not a "cookie cutter" design but one created to fit our family and our needs and the vision we had of our future home. Kim spent many hours sitting on our property, sketching and designing the plans to fit the land. She took the time to get to know us and how we, as a family, lived and functioned on a daily basis - whether just us or when we entertained a small or large gathering. She began by drawing up several different "renderings" and from there we gave her our feedback and she would listen, change and create. As we worked through the design process "our home" became a reality. Kim is extremely talented and creative. She truly listened to what we wanted and researched and gathered any and all things that would help to produce the home of our dreams. She enjoys the design aspect and takes pride in designing a project that is distinctive. Once the plans were finalized, Kim didn't leave us to our own devices, but stayed with us through out the building process as well. By doing this, the integrity of the design was maintained. She helped us with the material choices both inside and outside the home. If you are seeking someone to design a home or business that is beautiful, creative, stunning, inviting, and one that flows, you need not look any further. Kim will exceed your expectations! We have enjoyed our home each and every day since it's completion and there isn't anyone who enters that doesn't exclaim, "What an incredibly beautiful home!"
