“I had a fantastic experience working with Steve on my garage/ADU project in Charlotte. Steve is incredibly easy to work with—always responsive, clear in his communication, knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. He took our unique vision and turned it into seamless, actionable plans effortlessly. If you want an architect who listens carefully, works fast, and delivers exceptional drawings, Steve is your guy. Highly recommended!”

“When a friend asked us who we were using for the renovation of our home in Laurel Park, we were pleased to learn that they had also worked with Tiffany Prudhomme for their own major remodeling project. That acknowledgement came with the advice, "Do whatever Tiffany tells you to do!" Well we took that advice to heart and though she never told us what to do, we trusted her recommendations and we are so glad that we did for she created a masterful floor plan that completely transformed this house built in 1960. Now the house is an open, bright and spacious living area taking full advantage of a wonderful view and the beautiful wooded nature in which the house is situated. Our builder had recommended Prudhomme Design to us as the most pleasant and most reasonable architect/designer he had ever worked with. That assessment proved completely true as she deftly navigated the unforeseen issues that inevitably are part of any large undertaking. A good listener and a calm presence, it was easy and enjoyable working with Tiffany. Working together we were able to do some of the leg work while making the most of Tiffany's time, experience, and creativity. Busy as she is, she is quite efficient at meeting requirements and expectations in a timely manner. We are more than pleased and delighted with the final result we have achieved in a substantial remodeling effort. Tiffany has our highest recommendation as a professional who combines seamlessly the responsibilities of architect and designer.”

“In January 2017 we contracted with Susan Monette to design a beach house in Pine Knoll Shores, NC. Not any house would do, you see, because the lot we bought had a huge, old Live Oak with a large limb span on it. The tree is the reason we bought the lot but we soon realized a ‘normal’ house plan would not work on the lot without causing damage to the tree. We wanted a home under 2000 sf with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths with a garage and open floor plan. Another requirement was a plan that took advantage of seeing the tree from almost every room. Susan did an excellent job of listening to the features we wanted in a house and putting those thoughts to paper. She was very patient with my many questions and edits. I valued her opinions on design and placement issues along the way. She was always timely with any edits to the plans and available to meet. The design process took about 10 months from start to finish. Then the search was on to find a good, reputable builder. We selected a builder who not only had built before in Pine Knoll Shores, but had also recently built one of Susan’s designs. Win-win! We selected Mark A. Wojciechowski of Wojo Contracting, formerly Carolina East Construction, Morehead City. During the construction phase, Susan visited the project several times and also graciously gave me some additional design advice along the way. With the attention to detail in the plans and a good builder, the construction process went very well. After 16 months of construction and 2 hurricanes, our beach home, or ‘tree house’ as we and Susan sometimes call it, was complete in November 2019! My husband and I highly recommend Susan for any new home design or renovations/improvements to your current home. She was a pleasure to work with, listened to what we were looking for in a beach home and made it a reality.”
