    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 19, 2014
    “As a designer, I was able to work with Paul Benigno from Turn Collaborative on a complete gut rehab of an 1880's home on a double lot in a landmark district in Chicago. Paul was great to work with from every facet - creative and thoughtful, with a broad and deep knowledge of construction. I highly recommend working with him and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the near future!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 11, 2014
    “In 2007, I wanted to convert my 3-story Chicago Grerystone into a modern Single Family Home that retained the sensibility of the home's 100-yr old history. Foster Dale Architects listened to my goals and provided several suggestions that I had not previously explored in order to meet my goals. They acted not only as my architect, but also the project's manager which included assisting me in finding the right General Contractor as well as some of the skilled craftsmen to execute the finished carpentry. It's been several years since the project's completion and I continue to be very pleased with all of the results!”
    Omar Gutiérrez, Architect
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cicero
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 1, 2015
    “Omar was recommended to me from JAR Corp. He was a delight to work with on this project. He was able to come up with Ideas that I would have never dreamed of by myself. Without Omar my project would have not been the same. He looked at wasted space and turned it into a walk-in linen closet. Everytime I open the door to the closet I say "Thank you Omar!" I would highly recommend Omar whenever an Architect is required. He will really bring your project to life.”
