    Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Fort Lauderdale

    RAW Architecture + Design
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Fort Lauderdale
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 30, 2013
    “My husband and I hired Renee at RAW Design & Consulting for purposes of planning and designing a partial renovation of our 1950's home in Miami, Florida. We were relocating our kitchen and adding a bathroom to our 3/2, along with some other superficial changes. Although we ultimately chose to scale back the project significantly, we worked with Renee through the completion of the design stage and were just about ready to send the final plans to the city for their review and approval. The final plans were fantastic and included structural, mechanical, electrical and other design elements. As first time homeowners (and renovators), we really appreciated Renee's insight and constructive feedback with respect to what would and would not work for our home. Renee's attention to detail and responsiveness to our emails and other inquiries made it an absolute pleasure to work with her. She was very professional and courteous throughout the project, and made the process very simple and stress-free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone interested in a fresh take on their home's potential.”

    “United Architects exceeded my expectations in every way. The details, creativity and design excellence put into a complete remodel of my home was beyond what any other firm could have supplied. The remodel was a total renovation of 2000 sq ft walk-up/brownstone/row home type residential property with two floors. The customer service was exemplary, the work received was done quickly and efficiently. They were with me every step of the way. I highly recommend Maria Luisa Castellanos, R.A.
