I have enjoyed working on several projects that were designed by Charlie & Co. We do finish carpentry work and I provide bids. Their drawings are clear, accurate, simple to read, and the elevations are perfect. I recommend Charlie & Co, the project will be off to a great start!

We have worked with Charlie & Co, as well as visited several of their homes. Their work is amazing. They are able to create a diverse array of architectural styles, which is quite remarkable. Their homes make a beautiful statement, and they have meaningfully made an impact on the Minnesota architectural and design landscape. Not only are they passionate about design, they are extremely talented, professional, and easy to work with. Additionally, our clients couldn't have been more pleased with working with the firm. We highly recommend Charlie & Co. Design.

We are absolutely thrilled at the end result. The custom-designed contemporary home reflects our desire to combine modern design with warm and inviting elements. Charlie and his team listened carefully to our desires, and thereafter did a nice job balancing our feedback with appropriate push-back to avoid major "design errors". As said, the end result was a beautiful new home. Also strong kudos to our builder Elevations who worked closely with Charlie on the design process as well as building the house.

My wife and I worked with Colby to design our spectacular new home. Colby was a professional in every sense of the word and a pleasure to work with through the entire project. He was consultative along the way and worked with our vision and style to create a finished product that exceeds our most farfetched expectations. Truly a pleasure.

Charlie and Co designed my new home in St. Paul and I am beyond thrilled!! Not only is the finished home stunning but the entire process was a Joy. From working directly with Charlie to the meetings with his staff every time we were together they made sure to walk me through what was happening and truly listen to what I was looking for. If you are looking for an Architect I would highly recommend Charlie & Co. Design.

Charlie has been an absolute pleasure to work with from the moment we identified the property. He truly unlocked the potential of the lot by maximizing its views while accommodating the rich history of the surrounding neighborhood. We could not be happier with the home and would strongly recommend working with Charlie and Co.

We hired Charlie to draw plans for a kitchen design that soon led to a full main level remodel. We spoke with many architects, but his ideas and approach won out. He was able to help us accomplish all of our needs; form and function, keeping with era of the home, working within the space constraints, blending an old addition to the rest of the home. Most rooms were a complete remodel and others were some simple yet drastic changes that he recommended. He worked well with our designer, contractor, cabinet maker, and us. The communication level was incredible. At the onset the cost for the design seemed a bit high (still reasonable) but in the end it became clear that our great plans were well worth the cost. In fact, probably saved us money. At no point were we ever having to make decisions on the fly, he accounted for everything.
Charie is also very passionate aboit his work. Fun to work with somebody that is so plugged in.

We have had the wonderful opportunity to team up with Charlie & Co. on many projects, each project has resulted in great success using beautiful architectural details and building materials. What makes Charlie & Co. stand out from other architectural studios is their incredible ability to listen to the clients wishes, follow up and adhere to tight deadlines, offer superb project management while also introducing new ideas and have fun working with a collaborative team. We admire their work and integrity and highly recommend Charlie & Co.
Looking forward to our next project together!

As a general contractor/builder, I have worked with Charlie and Co Design on several projects and will continue our relationship. I enjoy the creativity in the designs as well as their ability to continually change depending on the vernacular of the surrounding neighborhood. The entire team is easy to work with and listens throughout the process. They are an integral part of my team in creating great spaces for clients. They have not only worked on our model home projects but also several client homes - the interaction and coordination with all involved has been very professional. I can highly recommend them!

After a lengthy search of architects for our new home, we luckily found Charlie & Co. We fell in love with their work on Houzz.com and were hoping they would be able to take on our project which had a short timeline and was located in Canada. From the moment we spoke with Charlie and Colby it was the right fit. They are true professionals who are client focused, friendly, creative and possess a can do attitude all the time. The process of working with them was an easy one with open communication and an incredible attention to detail, which was critical due the fact that we are out of the country. We could not be happier with the home they designed for us or with the experience of working with them. We would highly recommend Charlie & Co. to anyone looking to build a home!

After a very strong recommendation and meeting Charlie , we hired Charlie & Co. Design to design our kitchen remodel. The project turned out even better than we could have imagined. Charlie listened to everything we wanted, and his design was absolutely perfect! He worked extremely well with our builder and decorator. He was efficient, an excellent communicator and very enjoyable to work with. The details of his design are superb. Now one year later, our kitchen functions exactly the way we wanted it to and looks fabulous. Charlie did not miss any detail. We would highly recommend Charlie & Co.

We highly recommend Charlie & Co. They are a team of talented professionals who bring creativity, passion and wisdom to the design process. We were asked to use Houzz.com to identify our tastes and preferences. Both my husband and I created IdeaBooks to clearly communicate our wishes through visuals and words. Charlie & Co then applied their unbiased approach and offered fresh ideas to create our dream home - including managing back to a budget with 'value engineering’ options. Bottom line: Charlie & Co took our ideas, listened to our needs/wants, and produced a beautiful home that exceeded our expectations!
