Mike took the time to understand what was important to us, listened carefully throughout the process, and brought thoughtful design ideas that elevated the final result. Communication was excellent, even during the challenges of building through COVID, and the entire experience was collaborative and enjoyable. Years later, we still receive compliments on our home. We would highly recommend Mike, Beth, and the entire Coastal Cottage team.”

“Jeff Lees designed my new home, a wonderful residence that never would have happened without his efforts. I asked Jeff to create a house using the principles of passive house design, seamless aging-in-place concepts and modern as well as traditional elements. I was thrilled with his ability to be artistic and creative in combining the above elements into a plan that fit my needs. Jeff has a wonderful sense of space and light, so your future home is guaranteed to be spectacular. He has the ability to balance aesthetics with practical design so your future home is assured not only architectural style but also functionality. The longer I live in the house the more I appreciate Jeff's skills as an architect.”

“I would highly recommend Terry for any renovation / house decorating project of any size -- big or small. This was my first time working with Terry. I live in CT and coordinated all efforts with Terry in NC. She is exceptionally well organized, proactive in her planning, excellent listening skills and brought a great deal of expertise -- just what we needed since we working virtually. I am thrilled with the outcome of the project she did for us -- truly a high quality transformation -- we're thrilled with the outcome. We had a number of initial calls to align on original goals. She asked great questions, raised a number of great creative ideas and followed through consistently. She created the design vision and helped that design vision come to a reality and within budget! She prioritized the high cost items and then found other budget-friendly options without sacrificing quality/style, in order to meet our budget requirements. To accomplish the project successfully other local resources were needed and Terry was invaluable in making local introductions and helping coordinate other support needs. Her understanding of construction and building codes was also useful at several key decision points. Working with Terry was an absolute pleasure. Terry works with high degree of integrity, worked tirelessly with great passion and with a great sense of humor and creativity. I am in awe of Terry's creative ideas and talents. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her again on future projects.”
