D.Clark Architects, Inc.

I'm looking for the 6-star choice because we are so lucky we found Doug for our project, and so happy with the effort he put forth for our project. Our experience with him has been wonderful and he is even a nicer guy than he is a great architect. We got to Doug through a reference after being run-around for months by a previous recommendation who decided he was too busy, after stringing us along for too long. Doug (and everyone) was backed up with Covid renovation, but when he heard my frustration in the delay he found a creative way to work us in. He made several visits to our apartment and dug through some walls to be certain what was possible and what the limits were. He looked at our idea which started as a shower expansion and showed us how we could do so much more if we removed the bathtub which we never use, resulting in a much larger footprint for the shower and a new vanity/makeup/cabinet area where the enlarged shower was originally going to go. He came up with a wonderful venting solution that we weren't focused on, and then noticing that with the new plan that we'd have to re-tile the floor, made a great suggestion to heat the new tile floor. Something we hadn't thought about. We are so excited for the new design and features of the new space he's defined. He mocked up a cardboard replica of the steam generator for the shower so that we could work in 3-space to position it in the adjacent closet, and he's made trips here throughout the project and has been available to answer our questions. We were having problems visualizing some details in discussions with our contractor and he emailed an isometric 3-D drawing shortly after our clarification phone discussion. After Doug finished the drawings, we weren't happy with the 2 contractor quotes we received and Doug connected us with a wonderful contractor who came in with a much better price and has been an absolute joy to work with. All of this was done for the reasonable price of his original quote, even though the calls, visits, emails drawings and interacting with our contractor was extra work.

We have been working with Douglas for about 11 months on ideas to remodel our house. He is very easy to work with, he listens, provides suggestions, and has great ideas. Most importantly he easily accepts our suggestions when we have our own ideas and works with them in a very dynamic and collaborative manner. We were very lucky to have connected with him. Douglas is very professional, pleasant and personable.

I would highly recommend Doug Clark Architects. Doug is thoughtful, creative, personable, honest and has an incredible attention to detail. Is quality of work and knowledge of the trade are excellent. I have had the pleasure of working with and recommending Doug for over 10 years and have had excellent experiences every time.

Doug designed an addition for our home that was quite large in scope. What was the best part of working with him was how respectful he was of the original style of the home and our own personal needs, while bringing creative and quite unique solutions to the challenges that came up. He is extremely skilled, completely trustworthy, amazingly prompt and proactive, always willing to go the extra mile, and consistently fair with pricing - almost to a fault! And to further top his already stellar performance, we purchased a temporary home during the construction that also needed a remodel and had an extremely tight timeline. Doug stepped in to the rescue and gave us a flawless design in rapid time and as always, he was respectful to our own wishes and needs. I give him my highest recommendation and know that anyone that chooses Doug will be 100% satisfied!

Clark Architects has been a fantastic partner in my residential remodel/addition project. Doug has been with us every step of the way and has provided great insights, ideas, and support. Highly recommend!
