Building Designers in Akron

“Peter and his team designed and built a beautiful forever home for us. He was willing to offer suggestions, but was always more interested in what we wanted. His process with us was not what I would consider fast, but "right" was much more important to us. I hope to live here the rest of my days. I guess my highest praise would be that I recommended my son and daughter-in-law have Peter design and build their next home.”

“Our company worked with Chris on the large contemporary renovation in Bratenahl. The project offered many challenges from concept, thru design to construction. We have done several projects of this type. Working with Chris was a pleasure that is not always experienced on a complex project like this. His attention to detail, communication and involvement in the project allowed for the entire team to establish a solid relationship with the owner and enabled us to complete the project as expected and with the highest quality.”

“Hallie is the architect for a remodel of our home. The project is a large one, requiring many changes, both large and small. She has been easy to work with, always willing to rearrange things as our desires changed. She's offered great suggestions for solutions and resources, and she is affordable. A real pleasure!”

“As a colleague & friend i have known the principles, Jim & Bob at Westwork Architectural Studio in excess of 15 years. Over the years we have designed and developed outdoor space and landscapes for a number of the properties that they have designed & developed. Westwork's attention to detail and creativity is unmatched. Their design principles & support staff are always at the forefront of their field and true artisans of Architectural design & details. I couldn't be more excited about the potential of working more together in the future to help their clients dreams become a reality. That being said, i would highly recommend Westwork Architectural Studio for your next design & development project.”

“Having been in the design-build industry for 25 years and completing multiple high profile projects in Ohio and Florida with William Fugo, I am able to definitively state that he is most outstanding professional I have ever collaborated with. His skill at developing project parameters sets the tone for devising design and functional concepts for each project. This approach is consistent regardless of the size of the project. Large projects including those designated: “Wilderness,” “Valley Overlook” and “Canalside” were complex whole building renovation and additions - yet the attention to detail was maintained throughout the process. His ability to bring highly creative and effective designs to the client is consistently remarkable. Coupled with this architectural skill is the very rare skill to carry the design process to the projects interior. The ability to design interior elements to improve traffic flow, food servicing, senior living amenities, architectural details & finishes, lighting, color selections and furnishing selection & procurement while collaborating with other professionals ensures the finished project routinely exceeds expectations. William Fugo is a methodical project partner. His work is always organized, documented clear & concise and timely. This directly impacts the ability to keep a project on budget and on time. He works exceptionally well with owners, clients and other professionals. This capability also includes the ability to collaborate with technical specialists, contractors and trade professionals - this skill is a source of great relief during the complex construction process.”

“I purchased beautiful textiles for my home from Asimou Architects and Design. The pieces are rich and textured, perfect addition to my home. We use our large wool Moroccan blanket as a stretching mat with the kids or a beautiful throw on the master bed. We are very happy with the quality of the pieces we purchased. Stacy was wonderful to work with.”

“I worked with Christen (Sensitive Information Hidden) on a bathroom renovation project in the summer of 2022. She listens well in order to make appropriate recommendations on layout and product components. Our tastes in color and design were in sync. A great part of her work was she brought sample selections to our house. That meant not being overwhelmed by so many choices in a store. She worked well with the renovation company, keeping them focused and attuned to quality work. I remain very happy with the end result. I highly recommend Christen. She is a great design partner.”

“KC Design was able to, not only capture our dreams, their design also made it flexible for the future, energy efficient and unique. Thank you KC Designs for all your help and advice during the process!”

“After raising our family in a traditional four-bedroom two-story home, my wife and I wanted to downsize into a ranch home in our same neighborhood. The home we purchased was a 1970’s era three-bedroom ranch with “good bones,” but badly in need of updating. We brought Jeremy in from the Onward Design Collaborative even before we closed on the purchase to share our ideas and get his input. In short Jeremy incorporated all the items on our “wish list” in his design, opening up the living area, adding master suite with a walk-in closet and transforming a sunroom from an added-on porch. His detailed drawings were accurate, and he worked well with our general contractor. The results were fantastic and on-budget. We love our completely remodeled ranch “forever” home. Thanks again to Jeremy and Onward Design Collaborative for help making our dreams come true. Gary & MaryBeth Smith”

“I am a builder and hired Labocki Design to design residential home blueprints for a family I am building for. My clients as myself were impressed with David and his knowledge of his profession, problem solving skill, and expedient changes. He finished in a timely manner, and within the estimate initially given.I would certainly recommend Labocki Design to anyone. John Nell President Nell Homes Co.”
