Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in LaPorte

“As a Chicagoland kitchen and bath designer, I have worked with the dSPACE group on a number of residential kitchen and baths. They are a talented and professional group. Great ideas and inspired designs flow from the studio on Lincoln Ave. A pleasure to work with on every job.”

“Hired to select and evaluate potential sites on our property adjacent to a wetland. After site selection designed a rustic modernist cabin that was environmentally conscious and leveraged the views and available light. Was a great process from the beginning. Truly an amazing, thoughtful and considerate, Fred is an amazing architect and craftsman. We hioghly recommend him.”

“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.”

“We have purchased three entry doors. The quality of the products and the customer service provided by Nicks Building Supply has been exceptional with each purchase. The doors have attracted much attention and many compliments. I have already successfully recommended Nicks Building Supply.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Currently in the process of using M2Ke. Going through design phase now. Very professional attitude and easy to work with. Have not broken ground on project yet, but wanted to put a good word in for M2ke. I will add another review (builder & designer) upon completion of project.”

“G.M. Fedorchak & Associates provided outstanding service and exceeded all our expectations. The quality of their designs along with the follow-through they provided was truly outstanding. We could not be happier with their work, professionalism and expertise.”

“Melissa has helped me with COUNTLESS projects right now and her touch has made each one elevated. From something as small as selecting just the right paint color for my new bathroom or recommending cabinet pulls for my kitchen, to designing my yoga studio’s logo and blade sign, creating elevation visuals and even designing a back patio - she has been a godsend. Her simple approach speaks to my more minimalist side but it also somehow ended up being cozy and cheerful. I think THAT is real talent!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Indigo Ink (but not during one of my projects., please!)”
