Building Designers in Lennon

“From the time we first met Scott in person, we felt completely confident in his abilities to help us design our first home. Scott was extremely personable and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, which was no easy feat since we have little experience with the home design process. He is very knowledgeable in Michigan code and energy-efficient homes and made some great suggestions on how we could increase the R value of the house, which was very important to us. He offered advice about which type of insulation to use, what windows would be most cost-effective yet eco-friendly and how geothermal could be used in our home. He also pointed out some flaws in the floor plan we brought as inspiration and helped us design a well thought out, functional layout that will for our family for years to come. On the exterior, he offered many ideas on how to give a new build some character and make it feel inviting. Scott delivered our plans very quickly and when we had revisions, they were done promptly. When we decided to change the roof pitch to add more head space to the second story of our cape cod, he called to discuss truss design and potential increased home costs to ensure we were making the best decision. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a passionate, talented architect that has your best interests in mind. He is prompt, professional and detail oriented and his plans were outstanding. Our house will be built over the next 9 months and I cannot wait to see his vision come to life!”

“Studio Z was the architect on a large home remodel project in which I was the interior designer. It was great working with Dawn. She was very easy to communicate with, very personable, and very open to collaborating with me on design ideas. I know that the clients on this project spoke very highly of Dawn as well. They thought of her as both friendly and professional. The home turned out beautifully and I know that the clients love the end result. They could not have been more pleased with her work. I would highly recommend Studio Z Architecture to anyone.”

“Our architect of many years retired just prior to our decision to build a new house. We were concerned about using a new architect on such a big project but my husband and I were impressed with Jenna the first time we met her. Jenna understood our vision and worked patiently with us throughout the entire project. Jenna is creative and professional and we will definitely call on her the next time we need an architect.”

“Having enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with Rob on several homes, we wholeheartedly recommend CBI Designs for the quality and professionalism of their work. Their attention to both detail and client requirements, apparent within each home, is truly what separates CBI Design Professionals. We look forward to working with Rob and CBI in the near future!

“Our experience with Tim has been wonderful. He listened closely to our vision of the home we wanted to build, viewed and drew a topographical of the sight, made wonderful suggestions and designed a home even more beautiful than we could have dreamed. He was always willing and pleasant about making the adjustments we asked for. His knowledge of the entire building process allowed us to be ahead of the game when bringing in the trades. An exceptional experience.”

“My husband and I originally worked with Brad and Theresa Angelini in 1991 when we bought our home. We did a whole house renovation. In addition to detailed architectural drawings they provided three dimensional models showing what the home would look like after the renovation. It was an absolute delight to work with them and a major plus to work with a husband and wife team. Over the years we have worked with them several more times on various projects including expansion of a room through an exterior wall, redoing the deck, roof, and siding, adding additional windows to the home, etc. Each time they have been wonderful to work with. Brad and Theresa are very thoughtful, creative, responsive, practical, genial, and professional. We highly recommend them.”

“Molly Bachelor was our architect for a recent project that involved a new front porch with Azek deck and steps and a cedar ceiling, a new exposed-aggregate concrete front walkway with a solid steel blacksmith-crafted handrail, LED path lighting on cedar posts supporting the railing and along the walkway and driveway, and new paint on the plywood panels between the redwood siding on our midcentury modern home. Molly did an excellent job of listening to our needs and desires, and then developing a plan that would enhance the curb appeal and increase the safety of our home. Her design respected the style of the house but gave it a unique flair. She connected us with a contractor who was as pleasant to work with as she was. Molly was easy to reach when a question was raised or a decision needed to be made – by us or by one of the contractor’s crews. We are delighted with the results and highly recommend Molly Bachelor as an architect.”

“Patrick is a strong communicator and an attentive listener. He balances both with kindness and confidence. When working with Patrick, the focus is not on himself, but on the client and their project experience, parameters and preferences. Patrick engages his clientele in dialogue to establish a strong understanding of who they are and how they live. I am so thankful to know Patrick and to have welcomed him back to West Michigan since his latest move from Birmingham.”
