Building Designers in Coloma

“Holly helped my fiancé and me design our dream home over the course of fall/winter 2022. She was so open to all of our ideas and put our minds to rest when we had thoughts that seemed "out there". She also had great feedback and ideas of her own to include that she thought would go along with our aesthetic of the home. One of our favorite parts was being able to do a virtual walk-through of the layout to review the smaller details that would not show up in a basic house plan. We added several little details at that stage that we are very excited to see when building begins. It was also wonderful that she drafted a basic electrical plan and included notes on the plan about future things we wanted to account for. We would absolutely recommend Holly and her team!”

“After a few false starts with others in the area, Keystone has been a breath of fresh air, with timely service, reasonable rates, and great customer service. It's also clear that Keystone's technical advice is very sound. Being an engineer, my curiosity can be unwelcome in technical areas, but Ven has helped me fully understand the merits of his work. He's also helped our builder bring solid plans to reality, with little of the friction you might expect between architect and builder. Working with Keystone has been a rare pleasure in today's world; not only has the quality, cost and thoroughness of Keystone's work been excellent, but their sense of urgency has helped keep our rehab project timeline intact.”

“Great to work with very responsive and uber creative and talented. HIGHLY recommend! You will be very happy with results!”

“ADIDA, Inc., is a pure joy to work with! We have worked with Valentina on several projects. She always brings fresh ideas that meet or exceed our expectations and that of our Clients. She takes the time to listen and incorporate the client's must-haves with what will work in their space and really goes the extra mile to make sure their needs are met. Valentina also makes herself available when it works for our Clients schedules, which makes scheduling meetings easy and convenient. She really cares about how you will live in your home and you can see that in her details. We are eager to work with her again!”

“From start to finish Amy was amazing to work with. She took the time to enter fully into our project, listening to how we wanted to live in and use our home and then coming up with renovation plans that far surpassed what we could have hoped for. She will do whatever it takes to meet a deadline and is attentive to every detail. She works exceptionally well with others, always eager to work with and meet contractors and sub-contractors. She understands construction well, which is a great asset as you are going through a renovation. We could not say enough about the quality of our experience with AeH Designs. And the final product, our renovated home, is more beautiful and more well-suited to our needs and wants than we ever thought it could be.”

“We interviewed 3 architects and chose John Allegretti based on his previous work and enthusiasm for our specific project. We wanted to go from a 1-1/2 story, 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath to something more. Our lot size is 33 x 132 ft. which isn't much to work with. Our location on lake Michigan's Silver Beach is extremely desirable but our home was not allowing us to take full advantage of available views. John created a full second story complete with a master suite (bedroom, bath and living area) and walk out second floor deck. This deck offers privacy and another beach view perspective. We now have expansive views throughout our home. (John used glass railings throughout.) We ended up with a more spacious home than we had envisioned. John also presented our project to the local planning commission (we needed variances), and remained engaged throughout the project which was a big help to us. We would work with John Allegretti and his associates again.”

“We really enjoyed our experience with Spalding Design Group. We presented our ideas of a 3500 sf addition on to an 1870 farm house with both thoughts and pictures. John picked up our vision right away and honestly we met with him one other time to finalize....Spalding got it right from the beginning. The attention to space and flow, not to mention combining the old house with the new really showed the expertise that is offered. We highly recommend Spalding Design Group”

“Kil Architecture/Planing was recommended to me by an esteemed colleague in the Notre Dame School of Architecture. I'm glad I took his advice. We worked closely together over several months to develop a unique house that suited me very well. Sam Lima did most of the detailed work, and did an outstanding job researching and realizing the prairie style. We did have a hiccup with the woodwork that necessitated some do-over, but I'm glad I did it. After five months in the house, I think the product is fabulous. I really appreciate the fine scale detail work and quality in the design.”

“Jesse Hibler is an excellent architect, talented and responsive to concerns. We built a home with his guidance over the last eighteen monthsa And we are extremely satisfied. His design captured the feel we were looking for, and we Feel he came up with a plan that suited our needs, both in style and function. Jesse has a fun personality and we really enjoyed the design phase of our project.”

“We have worked with Buccellato Design for the past three years to design, build and decorate our home, and there is no doubt that they are masters at their art. Kevin and Aimee bring 20+ years of experience, extensive academic training from the leading classical architecture programs in the country, and an unwavering commitment to timeless, quality, appropriate architecture to each project. The experience and process of designing, building and decorating our home with Buccellato Design was enjoyable and smooth, and produced an outcome beyond our expectations. This was our first endeavor in designing a home, and while we had strong feelings for what we wanted our home to convey, we had no experience in actually making it a reality. The Buccellatos not only listened to us as we described the kind of home and atmosphere that we wanted to create, but they patiently and meticulously captured our vision, which was often in bits and pieces, and at the end of the design process presented us with a complete, articulate, stunning set of plans that exceeded what we could have hoped for. Every detail of our home, from the most insignificant to the greatest, was considered, evaluated and planned for. From design to construction to decoration BD demonstrated a masterful understanding of each material in our home; the texture and feel, durability, appropriateness, how the material would fit with the whole scope of the home, what it would communicate, and how it would age. Their communication with us throughout the entire design and building process, whether responding to a question or providing a progress update, was professional, consistent and detailed. They also worked within the budget we had originally set. The presence of BD on site during the eighteen+ month process of building the home was invaluable. If we had never been able to step foot on site during construction it would not have been a problem, as BD and their team monitored progress on literally every inch of the home, sent regular status updates and photos, and caught any mistakes made by contractors. In our case, we actually were limited in our ability to be on site as I was on bed rest for seven months during the construction and decorating phase. Many of our friends who have built homes have told us that they needed to be on site multiple times a week, checking for mistakes and ensuring appropriate progress; for us this was not an option with my medical limitations. BD and their team didn't miss a beat, monitoring and ensuring progress and quality during this time. The final product of our home, which did not suffer in the least from our inability to be regularly on site, is a testament to their meticulous administration. The team at Buccellato Design are a delight to work with, as professionals and as individuals who are the epitome of class and quality. Every person who has stepped into our home has been astounded by the quality, character, warmth and detail that our home exudes. Without any hesitation we would recommend Buccellato Design and their team to anyone desiring to create a timeless, enduring, and beautiful home or project.”
