Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers Near Carol Stream

“12/12 Architects were so wonderful to work with. They gave us so many options and ideas that we hadn't thought of, and helped us achieve a whole house renovation that really works for us. We love the results! Cinda also recommended our contractor, which made the process smooth and easy. I would recommend 12/12 Architects to anyone looking to come up with ideas for their home and who wants a functional, stylish design. They really listen and try to come up with designs that work for your project and family.”

“My project with D1 recently ended and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. Everyone I worked with from Brian in design to Mabel in architecture and to Linda in architecture design to Peter my project manager, were extremely helpful with the design process, easy to work with, and patient with me. Their Builder Trend site makes it so easy to do everything and communicate with the team. I did a first floor remodel and after interviewing many firms, I chose Design First because they thought out of the box and reconfigured my kitchen in a space I never before considered while also taking into consideration design elements I wanted to incorporate. I credit the wonderful experience I had to my project manager Peter. He is first class. Not only was this my first remodel but I’m also a first time homeowner and Peter answered every question I had, was patient when I changed my mind on windows or wanted to see other options for range hoods, and he provided great recommendations for tuck pointing that were out of the scope of our assigned project. During the demo and construction stages I was out of the country twice and Peter was always available to talk, he sent me photos and messages of the work in process to make sure I knew and was happy with what was going on. It was a relief to have this constant communication because I was able to change the shape of am arched doorway while abroad which I love. When problems or hiccups arose, as they will, Peter was straightforward, responsive, and got things done. When my range hood was blemished, Peter and Keith were the first to say it’s need to be redone and were just as unhappy as I was. Knowing that they expected the same outcome I did showed me they cared about the quality of the finished project as much as I did. Peter also took care of minor cosmetic touches and walked me through some system maintenance issues. Peter is great to work with because he is responsive, direct, friendly and easy to work with. I trust Peter and have already recommended him to a good friend. When I decide to tackle other projects I will contact D1 and Peter. Thanks so much!”

“Mike was a pleasure to work with. We built a home and had Mike draw up the plans. He made our dream home come to fruition. As with all custom home building, there were some surprises that came along the way. But Mike helped us navigate through them. In the end, we came to finally having our dream home.”
