Pierce Design has had the privilege to work with Bob Swain and his talented team of Architects and Designers for more than 15 years. Bob brings incredible energy and ideas to the table for each of his projects. His attention to every detail is second to none, and the ambition and aspirations he offer his clients is impressive. With so many of his clients returning for a second, third or fourth project, it's a testament to the successful execution he and his team deliver. Robert Edson Swain clients benefit from a wealth of knowledge built upon a deep project base from luxurious custom homes to whole city master plans in China, lush award winning gardens to Fortune 100 retail expierences.
I wholeheartedly recommend RES, Inc.
