Structural Engineering Companies in Lakeville

“I engaged Harry to develop plans for a redesign/rebuild of a detached garage/studio. I very much enjoyed working with Harry. He listened to what I was looking for, both stylistically and with respect to the practicable use of the space, and designed a structure that I'm very happy with. It was an incremental and collaborative process and the final product is something I like visually and that also fulfills competing requirements (storage space, working space and guest space). The final plans look great. Everything was done on a timely basis and I thought fairly priced, especially given the quality of the work. I'm looking forward to turning them into a finished structure over the summer of 2019.”

“We engaged Highland Architectural Design to renovate our small Lakeview cabin. We had retired and would be living in the house full time for six months a year, before heading south for the winter. The new pattern of use changed our needs. Jim Schriner, HAD's principal, spent many hours on site with us to determine our expectations, before he put pencil to paper. The cabin had been cozy, dark, and small, with low ceilings and now we wanted to open up the space, let in lots of light, create a loft play space for our four grandsons, and still maintain a woodsy feeling, and maximize our view of the lake. We wanted to maintain the existing kitchen and bath and master bedroom, while removing everything in-between. This was a complicated project, on a difficult sloping site. Jim prepared some sketches of the new exterior, and we talked some more. We found him to be creative and a very good listener. He was responsive to our needs, concerns and questions. When we settled on the final design, we felt that Jim had successfully translated what we felt we wanted into a very creative, indeed, dramatically beautiful design, that appeared to be exactly what we wanted. Once we engaged our contractor, Jim maintained an active engagement with him as construction proceeded. While we never asked him to do so, he visited the construction site frequently. The job turned out spectacularly. As we've lived in the space we love it more and more each year. Our grandsons love the huge loft. We love the comfiness and openness. It could not have happened without Highland Architectural Design.”
