We selected Contempo Studio to design our project in Bedford Park. We shared our vision and ideas for the property and he was able to bring it to life with his experience and knowledge in modern and contemporary design.
Contempo maintained an open line of communication and was always helpful from preliminary design through the issuance of the building permits.
We would highly recommend Contempo Studio and would not hesitate to work with them again.

We hired Contempo last December to help us design our house. Marin who is the architect has gone above and beyond what he promised us. He took care of getting all our permits, represented us at our hearing for committee of adjustments and did not back down when the panel wanted to reject our house. Every time we had questions he was there with a answer for us.
He has been meticulous in designing our house.
And his brother Denis is our builder and he has been been there to answer and explain every question no matter how dumb it sounded.
The bottom line is that I would not hesitate to refer Contempo to anyone and I am thrilled that we found Marin and Denis to design and build our dream house.
NO REGRETS.
Thank you Marin and Denis.

Marin, the owner of Contempo Studios has been wonderful to work with. He is focused, professional, a visionary and most importantly, knowledgeable and creative. My wife and I would recommend Marin and his team on any small or large project. They've been patient and willing to take the time to work with us even when confronted with ambiguity. Marin had been considerate and kind helping us facilitate and balance our budget when choosing materials and financial considerations.

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Contempo Studio in designing our house in the urban setting of downtown Toronto. The dedication and commitment to the project shown by the team at CS was seamless from conceiving the schematics all the way to getting the building permit from the City. The support we received from our designer was uncompromising in overcoming all the hurdles we encountered through Planning, Zoning, and Building Department. We particularly found the quick turnaround time facilitated an effective decision making process, which enabled us to move along the project time line. We are in the process of building the house, and we look forward to sharing our final product with everyone in the near future.

We hired Marin and his team to design our new home. Marin understood our vision off the bat and the final designed product is exceptional. It’s modern esthetic, open concept layout, and practical use components are all exactly what we wanted. He also exceeded expectations while representing us throughout the permitting process (including CoA and TLAB) - making himself available to meet deadlines, preparing for meetings, and most of all, caring. Thank you to Marin and Contempo!

I was referred to contempo from a friend, from the moment I contacted Marin he was nothing but pleasant and accommodating, what I appreciated was that he took the time to listen to what we were looking for. He has been an absolute pleasure, from concept to getting permits! With his help, he has allowed our design to transition to the next level! Looking forward to working with you again!

We had Contempo Studio design our new house. Marin was super helpful and supportive from the first time we met, until the project finished. Going through the Committee of Adjustment was also a painless experience because he knew exactly what to do.
Contempo Studio paid attention to all our requirements and applied any revisions effortlessly.
The end result was great and we love the design of our new house.

I hired Contempo Studio for an extensive renovation to my home. I was referred to them by friends and am very happy with the quality of work and especially service.
I was in a hurry with my project, and Marin was there to answer my calls and come on site when I needed him. I am very happy with the attention to detail and looking forward to our next project. Highly recommend this firm.

Being a builder it's very important to hire the best architectual firm . As a business owner ,dealing with several architects ,in the past has been really difficult . I started working with Contempo Studio ,3 years ago and I have to say that this company will make your life much easier . On my last two houses ,we were limited due to the zoning bylaw. I was thoroughly impressed with Marin's functinaity ,and use of space . This company will always answer your questions at anytime , and that is really hard to find . I definitely recommend Contempo wether you are a builder or a home owner .

We heard great things about Contempo Studio from friends and decided to hire them with our new build. We were ecstatic with the design that was presented to us. Since we are newbies to this, Marin has been exceptionally helpful with the entire process. Prompt, pleasant, patient, and professional! Thank you Contempo Studio. Looking forward to many more projects to come.
