“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.”

“Tammis is very easy to work with. Her range of taste is quite large. She is extremely professional and has a wide range of ideas to suggest. I am very happy with the basement remodeling project we did together. The basement is stunning. Its comfortable yet has elegant touches that elevated it to quite an upscale environment that maximizes the small space. The use of Shoji doors throughout makes a huge statement with very little footprint. Brilliant design, comfortable space.”

“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.”

“TDG did an amazing job with transforming a non-functional 1950’s bathroom and closet to functional. They did a great job listening to our families’ needs and desires and providing us with options that would fit our families needs best. Phillip was very responsive and delivered great results!”

“My husband and I have followed Michael Klement, the Principal at Architectural Resource, at the Ann Arbor home shows and remodeling tours for years. His passion for the work he does is evident in everything he does, and is delightful to listen to during his tours. We've visited every home that has been open for tours and no two are alike. His talent is so broad - from respecting a classic Italianate design, to creating a found-art energy efficient modern masterpiece. He excels at listening to what the customer is looking for and delivering perfection. He blends brilliant design with smart, efficient, architectural engineering. After years of dreaming of what Michael could do for us, we were finally in a position to consider hiring him. He met us at our home and talked with us about our "ultimate vision of living". We can see how this approach could lead to the perfect personalized homes that we had toured. He walked us through the design process and laid out an estimate for pricing. After the meeting I was so energized and excited that it took 2 hours to fall asleep (it was way past my bedtime!). Ultimately, we couldn't find a piece of empty property with the location / features we wanted for a price that would allow us to build new with Michael. So we purchased a home with "potential" and are saving up for the chance to do a remodel/rebuild with him on this property. We wouldn't dream of working with anyone else.”

“McIntosh Poris did three projects for us. First...Michael Poris refurbished a condo of Architectural Record and did so while maintaining every significant element with no comprimise. Second, a home that has won national and international acclaim--has been published widely and even made it into a resource for the top homes in the world--not because it is huge and grand, but because it is relatively small but miraculously placed within a small lot with the back all woods. Third, a total buildout of a new office space that is over the top. Michael is brilliant, extremely talented, an excellent listener and very thorough in all he does. I recomend him to everyone that needs great design by showing them our house and office, then there is no explanation needed. He was hired in 2005, 2007 and just now in 2013 for the new office.”
