Sustainable Sedona

We had a great time working on this project. Our project was a complete renovation of an older home with the addition of a new quest suite. Thanks

Paolo is professional, talented, thorough, creative, thoughtful, engaging, intelligent, and sensitive to our home's history and surroundings. It was true pleasure working with him. His taste is exquisite and his design for our home is timeless. We strongly recommend him to anyone seeking a fabulous home.

I am just finishing my 3rd project with Paolo at Sustainable Sedona. He is so easy to work with. he is not locked into "his style". He listens to what you want and how the space needs to function and then he offers options. He is very open to feedback. This firm really understands that this is your space and work hard to get you exactly what you want - even if at the beginning you are not sure what that is! Execution of all my projects has been flawless because he does all the work upfront.

What a wonderful experience it has been working with Paolo on the remodel of our house. He really listened to what we wanted & gave us such good advice. He is also very conscious of pricing which we really appreciated. His taste is impeccable! We are so grateful to have had him guide us through this project!!

Re-designed our master bathroom which was old and outdated. Listened to our wishes & recommended both quality contractor & quality products. Design was great. We would recommend Paolo highly!

Paolo is in fact one of the most thorough, detailed, and creative designers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His designs are cutting edge, crisp, clean, refined, very well thought out all the way down to the last detail. Paolo is easy to work with, well versed in the design in and outs, understands how to make finishes work within their vast realm of possibilities, etc. etc. I could go on and on. I would definitely recommend Paolo of Sustainable Sedona if you are thinking of a very nice custom, high end, project.

Paolo Scardina of Sustainable Sedona is an architect with whom I have worked on several projects. His professionalism and focus is exemplary. In dealing with clients and Homeowner Association board members, he is also quite a diplomat, knowing what to say and how to say it. Abundant experience shows in all aspects of his business from the subtle design details he brings to his projects, to the way he expresses himself in all forms of communication. Just a real pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Paolo whether you are a homeowner looking to design a custom home or a builder looking for a great architect.

Paul was a fantastic designer from project start to finish. I think the three biggest benefits I got (there were 0 drawbacks) were: 1. He is a very good listener, which resulted in me getting the design that suited me. 2. He is very knowledgeable, so he could both guide our discussions and produce a well thought out design. 3. He pays great attention to detail. I could give his drawings to my bidders with full confidence that they would have a clear understanding of scope. No one had questions about his drawings. I would work with Paul again in a heartbeat.

Paolo's company helped do an interior redesign of a home my wife and I purchased in Cornville, AZ. He and his partner, Ryan, were recommended by our realtor. We met and discussed what we needed and perhaps wanted. Paolo was very attentive and an excellent listener. He came back with some real interesting designs and possibilities. We negotiated where we wanted to go and meshed with his ideas for design. The construction took several months to complete (it was a 95% re-design - kitchen left for later.) His fresh ideas were quite a welcome from the standard and at times mundane. He walked us through his proposal and kept with us every step of the way as the projected evolved. The end result was fabulous, and it has been a joy living here. The seller's realtor came by and was totally blown away by the changes we ended up making.

I had an impossible kitchen floor plan in my 20-year-old house and was at a loss on a re-design. A friend recommended Paolo and he came to the rescue. He worked out a wonderful design under tough circumstances - we had to reuse the cabinets and incorporate them into the new design - not an easy task. The beautiful wood the cabinets are made from is no longer available and they had to be re-cut and re-purposed. Plus I wanted a splash of color. This is where Paolo especially shined gently guiding me away from bad decisions and making alternate down-to-earth suggestions. The measurements told me I was over-doing it and, again, he gently guided me back to reality, still incorporating everything I wanted in a kitchen but in a better work-flow. The end result is spectacular. I now have a workable floor plan than makes sense, is easy to work in, and makes me smile.

When you need a remodel done and need to consult with a design firm, Paolo & Sustainable Sedona are a fantastic choice. I would say the best choice, actually. Their attention to fine detail, knowledge of making the most of limited spaces and creating more space within limited quarters, Paolo has the knowledge and can do it all. He and Ryan, the whole team completely knocked it out of the park. His detail and knowledge of energy efficiency is what is needed in todays building market. Thanks again, Paolo!

Sustainable Sedona (SS) applied their visionary skills to provide interior remodel plans for our home. Space constraints were a major issue for us yet SS was able to apply innovative techniques to provide maximum utility. Also we were seeking a contemporary style. The years of experience SS bring allowed them to select appropriate wood species and complimentary hardware resulting in a very modern look. Also SS did a stellar job integrating appropriate lighting to the plan. The result........SS helped us turn a house into a home. Highly recommended.
