We purchased a small lot on the Overseas Highway in Key Largo and wanted to build an artistic storage building there. Our realtor recommended Mathew who was working for a friend of his at that time. I cannot say enough good things about Matthew and his work ethic. He answers emails quickly. He has superior knowledge of the building codes which are extensive in Monroe County. It was a difficult task getting all of the required elements in the plan as well as maintain the beautiful design. Matthew is extremely talented. I would recommend him to anyone.

Had a chance to work with Matt on a new house project in Ramrod Key, and having spent many years in an Architectural Office myself, I was extremely impressed with Matt and the quality of drawings! Easy to work with, easy to reach and responsive to any and all questions. The drawings quality was excellent as well, went thru plan review without one request for clarification or extra notes, which says a lot. Looking forward to working with him on future projects!!!!

We were recommended to use Matthew Fowler by a well-known general contractor in the lower Keys. I cannot say enough how easy and reassuring it was to have Matthew design our downstair's addition plans. He was extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. We will definitely be using him again for any future renovations on our home here in Key West. Thank you Matthew for your patience and expertise.

We contacted Matthew to assist us with our building project and he was responsive, professional and knowledgeable. He was very familiar with the local buidling codes and helped us navigate the permitting process. His drawings were delivered on time and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We are so happy that our engineer referred us to Matthew. His professionalism was impeccable and his ideas were exactly what we were looking for in our new home. Matthew listened well to our likes and dislikes and designed the perfect style home for us. He is truly talented and we highly recommend his services. - Russ & Joann S.

We had been wrestling with matching our desires and concepts for a new build to the general aesthetic of an island site for some time. Matthew came aboard at the 11th hour and was able to swiftly coalesce our ideas, existing engineering plans and the feedback from the HOA-ARB into a beautiful design that we can’t wait to see completed. If you find yourself in a situation like this, we cannot think of anybody better to turn your dreams into a reality. If you want to avoid this altogether then contact him on day one.

We enjoyed working with Matthew. He was responsive, timely, interested in the project outcome and very familiar with the county requirements for permits. I think Matthew truly enjoyed working on our deck project with stainless cable and teak hand rails. Matthew also helped us provide plans to rebuild a wall of our home that was destroyed by Irma. We would highly recommend Matthew and believe you would be very happy with his work
