Genesis Architecture, LLC.

It has been over 10 years since we built our home designed by Ken Dahlin but the enjoyment has never faded. Ken's vision and artistry captured our ideas and desires which we everyday appreciate as we walk through the house. I remember that we the clients, created a design process that was lengthy, but never tired of it. This due to the fact that we so enjoyed being involved that we were constantly adding and changing the plans to suit our needs. We finally arrived at the result that is spectacular. We still look to Ken for any advice on projects that continue to develop around our home Thanks Ken Michael Birndorf

I have had the pleasure of working with Ken and his team on at least one home per year since 2001. Each of his designs is unique and well-thought out. He is sought after for his Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired concepts, and takes organic architecture to a fresh new level. Ken's use of natural materials makes the homes feel timeless. If you are interested in living in a breathtaking three dimensional sculpture customized just for you, Ken is your man.

I highly recommend Ken Dahlin and Genesis Architecture. It was such a pleasure to have Ken and his team shepherd the Christensen House project through a massive remodel. His redesign was both thoughtful and stunning. Ken took the time to understand my family's needs and preferences and to really listen. He then translated that into a visually stunning design that functioned beautifully and was a joy to live in every day. We had plenty of "surprises" during the remodel and Ken always remained calm and unflappable. He and his team were also very mindful of the budget and costs. We loved working with him so much that we hired him and Genesis again in 2015 to do our lake house! Truly a wonderful architect!!

Genesis Architecture and its principal architect, Ken Dahlin, were extremely knowledgeable and professional in the design and construction of our Frank Lloyd Wright inspired new home. They have a great understanding of Wright home design principles; they listened to our thoughts and needs for a new home and gave us just what we wanted, a home based on Wright's design principles. Their work quality and responsiveness was great. They included us in all aspects of the project. We are completely happy with Genesis Architecture and our new home they designed for us.

I've had the pleasure of working closely with Ken and his team through all phases (Planning--design--construction--post construction) of my "complex" lakeside home build. I couldn't be more satisfied with Ken's professionalism, the quality of his design and his thoughtful guidance throughout the entire project. The creative energy that Ken and his team brought to this project was unparalleled. I would strongly recommend Genesis Architecture to anyone contemplating a custom home build.

There couldn't be a better architect than Ken Dahlin! He is brilliant. We have used several other architects in the past, both in Massachusetts and Wisconsin, and have never had such an extraordinary experience. His design ideas sing! He has flexibility and humility, and is easy and fun to work with. He knows how to respect the interplay of nature and structure, and used sites magnificently. He is just finishing a second project for us. The first project he did has been in use for five years now, and it has been a joy for living and working. We also used him for kitchen and interior design, and I find myself thanking him whenever I cook! He also works in a cost effective way, and both projects came in on budget! I can't imagine that anyone could find a better architect or designer anywhere!

Genesis Architecture's sense and sensibility of design aesthetic is outstanding. Ken Dahlin's projects are among the most creative architectural endeavors, yet there is a calm simplicity in the mood he orchestrates through his thoughtful work. While he often pushes the envelope of design and creativity, Ken finds ways to incorporate natural materials that lend an organic feeling. Genesis Architecture goes beyond simply specifying custom materials, they research products to provide "the best" installation for their clients. Genesis Architecture manages their projects efficiently and respectfully. They understand that every person on the construction team is a key player helping manifest the design vision for their clients. Working on projects and collaborating with the team at Genesis Architecture is something I look forward to whether it is consulting on the use of wood or co-designing custom millwork and cabinetry. It is truly remarkable working with Ken Dahlin and I highly recommend Genesis Architecture.

We had been researching architects for a prairie style house for several years. We saw Ken's work at a home show in Milwaukee. We knew he was the right person from the start. Ken came up with a design that was better than we could imagine. He worked with us on changes to get exactly what we wanted. He understood the need to fit the home to our lifestyle. Ken and his staff are true professionals. Communications were excellent and prompt. Phone calls and emails were always returned. The details in the drawings were first class and there was never an issue with contractors not knowing what was intended. I acted as the general contractor and Ken and his staff were always available to assist when questions did come up. I would highly recommend Genesis Architecture to anyone looking for a top notch architect.

We were attracted to Genesis Architecture's beautiful craftsman and prairie homes and home designs. We wanted a custom home that blends the craftsman and mountain architecture styles into a custom lake home designed for our lake property and lake living. Ken blended mountain and craftsmen styles to meet our tastes. We started the design process with a list of functional and lifestyle requirements. Ken took our inputs and designed a home that fits our life style and the lake setting perfectly. Our home is a wonderful gathering place with family and friends, many which describe it as an amazing home.

Through our years long, and continuing relationship, we have taken advantage of Genesis Architecture's unparalleled ability to deliver inspired and creative home design and architectural services. The principal portion of those services lead to the construction our contemporary home in Lake Geneva, WI, that was completed in 2007, with the addition of an integral swimming pool in 2011. This architectural masterpiece continues to amaze us whenever we are there. How the principal of Genesis envisioned the gorgeous end result--inside and out--that was little-changed from the first creative iterations must be analogous to a composer hearing the score and he writes the notes. This ability continues to be reflected in smaller design projects implemented subsequently. We could not recommend this Company more highly.

When we wanted to build a home based on Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian Natural House elements we knew we would need to find an architect who was completely well versed in Wright's language and principles. We found that architect in Ken Dahlin of Genensis Architecture. An examination of Ken's work clearly demonstrates his respect and incorporation of Wright's principles in all of his projects. Although most of Ken's works were of a larger scale, he was clearly excited about our small home project that was more in line with the human scale espoused by Wright. From beginning to end Ken carefully assimilated our needs and desired Usonian details and produced a design that while, taking advantage of current building technology, captured the spirit of the Wright Usonsian home, as can be appreciated in the photos on his Houzz webpage. Ken was always accessible throughout the project and took the time to work closely with the builder and subcontractors to ensure the successful execution of the design. Having now spent 6 months in the house we have been delighted with the result and constantly discover new details which accompany a thoughtful design. We highly recommend Ken and Genesis Architecture for anyone looking to build or remodel.

We hired Ken to design a unique, modern home tailored to our tastes and lifestyle, and he delivered an innovative design that far exceeded our expectations. The abundant natural lighting, sensitive detailing, and humanly scaled spaces speak to our souls… we still say "Wow!" to ourselves every time we return home. In addition to being a gifted architect, Ken is a strong team player. He eagerly collaborated with the specialist designers also contributing to the project, and provided excellent support to the builder every step of the way during construction. Ken has earned our utmost respect, and we enthusiastically recommend him as an architect.

Kenneth Dahlin is a truly talented and professional architect. His attention to detail and his modern designs are what set him apart from the rest. It's a genuine pleasure to work with Kenneth on his client's projects. We are brought in early in the design process before the home design is even complete. Cohesion between the architecture of the home and the landscape is the end result. If you're looking for a custom, one-of-a-kind home, we highly recommend Genesis Architecture, LLC.

We are the owners of the Delafield Modern and enjoyed working with Ken Dahlin. He was always professional, calm in the midst of building chaos and very understanding of what we wanted to accomplish on the budget we had. We loved his style of homes and wanted to capture the simplicity yet glamour of modern design.

We are the owners of the Leenhouts home addition. Ken not only is a fantastic designer, he is personable, devoted, and reasonably priced. Could not have asked for more. Love living in his beautifully designed spaces.
