Bathroom Designers in Detroit

“We hired AR to help us transform our single story midcentury ranch into a home that was large enough for our growing family. We asked for a house that would foster family time, while enabling solitude. A house that would evoke Frank Lloyd Wright at the curb, while looking at home in our beloved neighborhood. A house that would fill our everyday life with beauty, while standing up to the rigors of small children. AR absolutely nailed it all. They truly listened carefully to what we wanted, which at times meant pushing back on what we expected in order to deliver something better. On top of everything else, they designed a truly forward looking, astonishingly energy efficient home. The true test though is that now that we are living in the house they designed, we couldn't be happier. It functions so beautifully for the lives we live, that we are often struck by how grateful we are to live in this incredible home. We renovated this house with the view to spend decades here, but if we ever need to hire an architect again, we will absolutely go with AR again.”

“I approached Meadowlark with the need for a significant renovation to transform a poorly laid out bathroom/spa into a safe, first floor accessible bathroom suite for an elderly client/friend following a fall and broken hip. I laid out an aggressive goal of compressing the design/build schedule as my friend would need to remain in a rehab center while the project was completed. The following business day Meadowlark’s President Melissa Kennedy met me on site and brought their head of construction, and project manager ready to get to work. (I was impressed). I provided them with a clear scope of work and challenged them on how much they could compress the schedule as we needed the project finished yesterday. Eight weeks later we brought my friend home from rehab to a much safer, redesigned home. The eight weeks included both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. At the top of the list of Meadowlark’s strengths are their people and leadership, and willingness to challenge themselves. Most contractors would have politely explained that my goals were unachievable. Second would be their handling of inevitable issues that arise in any remodeling project. I can’t say enough about Sarah Petersen, our Project Manager, who was key. A firm is only as good as their employees and pool of contractors, especially in our circumstances, and Meadowlark has a pool of high quality contractors. As we neared the completion concerns arose about everything being ready for a safe return home, and Melissa and Sarah met me onsite on a Sunday morning to review remaining work. The relationships Meadowlark has with their contractors became clear by how contractors responded to insure final details were completed. Meadowlark was also able to include refinishing the home’s wood floors and incorporate a new powder room and laundry facilities to the project scope without delaying the schedule. Due to the circumstances the project was structured on a time and materials basis. There are few contractors I would trust with this arrangement on something this size. While transparency could have been improved I am satisfied with the resulting total costs and Meadowlark deserved every penny of the margin earned on this project. Overall A+.”
