Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cambria County

“We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend Timothy (Tim) Strosser of Studio 810 Design as a designer and general contractor for home improvement. In 2012, we met Tim at the Philadelphia Home Show, and were impressed by Tim’s portfolio of previous designs and building projects. On his first visit to our home in the Philadelphia suburbs Tim impressed us again with his instant understanding of our home improvement needs. We wanted to build a new bathroom in a little-used space that was attached to our master bedroom, but Tim suggested a much better solution; building an addition to the house’s second floor, and placing the bathroom in it. This way we got a fabulously looking new master bathroom that is an envy of our friends and neighbors, and avoided a mistake of building a bathroom that would be to small and not convenient. Timothy also designed and built for us a mudroom in front of our house, completely redesigned and rebuilt our patio, and changed the siding all around the house. We are very satisfied with the quality of his design and workmanship of his crew. Tim is a very experienced project manager, and he worked hard to accommodate our specific requirements during the project and to adjust all the logistics accordingly. He was able to keep the project deadlines despite very unfavorable weather conditions, the climax of which was Hurricane Sandy. During the project we occasionally changed our mind regarding some details (e.g., selection of tiles), and Tim was always ready to either accept our new ideas or, when they were not practical, offer very good alternatives. During the project we developed a trusting, friendly relationship with Timothy and many of his crew members. We were so satisfied with our collaboration with Tim that, after the first big project was completed, we tasked him with a couple of smaller projects in our house (e.g., staircase renovation), and outside (landscaping). We are sure that, with his great artistic taste, his extensive technical experience, and his understanding of individual clients’ characters and preferences, Timothy can exceed expectations of the most demanding clients. We already recommended the services of Studio 810 to our neighbors, and we recommend them to you.”

“We loved our neighborhood but our house no longer met our families needs. So after looking at new houses and neighborhoods we decided to remodel our existing house. But we didn't want our house to look remodeled or added on to. Working with Judy and our contractor we accomplished turning our existing home into a new home. A second floor was added with a master bedroom and bath and a family room was added to the first floor. Our kitchen was updated and expanded. The appearance of our home was also very important to us. My wife and I had very strong opinions of what the house should look like when it was done. Judy help us create a beautiful home, the house of our dreams. And all this was done within our budget.”

“I hired Mr. Calisti to design an addition for my 100 year-old residence. He had very creative solutions to problems and his work was impressive to say the least. Every detail was well thought out. Lee developed a great relationship with our contractor and was always avaliable to answer any questions that arose on the jobsite. I felt that Lee had a great knowledge base about the newest building concepts and was able to incorporate these ideas into the addittion without affecting the original historic aspect of the house. I highly recommend Mr. Calisti to anyone looking to use architectural services.””

“Jeff has completed several projects for me over the years. Always quality work and reasonable price. He sets an expectation and then follows through.”

“I bought a condo in fall 2017 and Darla Lindberg helped me with interior design of the condo. She understood the minimalist and modern look I wanted for my condo and she came up beautiful solutions all of which not only exceeded my expectations with the design but also met my budget. Darla understood exactly what I was looking for. She designed each of my rooms, found each of the individual furniture pieces that go well together and helped me set up the art work, decor, and the lighting. The result was when I first invited my colleagues and friends over to my house, they are stunned how beautiful and minimalist my house looks and how cozy it feels. There were many "oos" and "aahs". Darla transformed my condo into a minimalist, tasteful and modern penthouse. She's a treasure.”

“Lorna designed a master bedroom, bath, closet and laundry room addition for us. She was creative, fun to work with and very good at communicating with us. She was wonderful at creating ideas as we talked, sketching them out and helping us clarify our style. The finished design is wonderful and we look forward to having it built very soon.”

“I had them design my salon. Excellent excellent attention to my priorities and taste, with frequent organized meetings and updates. My highest compliments!”

“Shawn, the owner of the firm has been instrumental on our house addition and renovation in taking my ideas and putting them into drawings. We have had to alter and tweak quite a bit, but he is very professional and patient. I would recommend him to anyone in the area without hesitation he and his team are definitely good folks to have on your team when negotiating plans, city red tape, and cranky General Contractors.”
