House Plan Companies in Camp Springs

“Transforming Architecture has been outstanding to work with! So much so that I’ve hired them twice, first for architecture and then for interior design, and would happily do it again. For the ADU, the plans were truly exceptional. They designed a light‑filled space with more windows than I imagined and even included a bonus/storage room upstairs that I hadn’t expected. The design far exceeded my expectations, and my builder commented that it was the best set of plans he’d ever seen. Transforming Architecture also handled the entire permitting process and patiently answered every question along the way (insulation, drywall, sprinkler systems, foundation/stem wall, and more). Sara C. was the lead on this project, and Karen, the principal, stayed involved throughout. I later brought them back for interior design, and Grace C. has been the project lead. They have now touched virtually every room in my home and we are still moving forward at my pace. Highlights include: restoring my office to a more private, original location; transforming the laundry room into a flexible “laundry salon” with mirrors and hair dryers; creating a vintage‑inspired 1970s formal living room with a record player and floor‑model television; refining the dining room; designing a nautical, globally inspired den with globes and a 50‑gallon aquarium; giving the foyer an upscale, beachy feel; updating the basement to a 2026, older‑kids‑friendly hangout with a game table and 85‑inch TV; turning the great room addition into a contemporary space with a cloud‑style sectional sofa and large television; and a peachy-pink mid-century model bathroom with gold and black matte finishes. What sets Transforming Architecture apart is that their design comes from a strong architectural perspective meaning their furniture placement, scale, and the relationships between pieces is precise and intentional, not random. The result is a home that feels beautifully cohesive, functional, and finally grown-up rather than transitional. Karen, Sara, and Grace are a pleasure to work with: professional, collaborative, and responsive. I highly recommend Transforming Architecture.”

“I have used the services of Chris Marshall (The North Star Companies) on two occasions. The first time was a remodeling of a master bathroom which was challenging because of the slate tiles I really liked. But it turned out spectacularly, on-time and on-budget! The second time was unintended, about 6 months later when I had two mature oak trees fall on my house during a derocho, which was a major headache not only from a re-build perspective, but also as it was an insurance job. It included major repairs to the main roof (new trusses, roof and gutters), repairs for water damage on three floors and the replacement of a roof deck, the ceiling, side walls and all the custom fittings to a new addition I had completed just one year prior. Chris Marshall and his excellent team of subs not only got me back in my house within 3 months, but worked tirelessly with the insurance company to put my house back together, even better than before. Chris is one of the most pleasant people I have ever worked with, even under the most challenging of circumstances. His companies’ work is of the highest quality, and no detail is too small for them to fix. Chris personally even helped me reprogram my door locks with new keys well after hours one evening. He and his team come with my highest recommendation -- if I could give Chris Marshall and The North Star companies 6 stars for this review, I would.”

“While planning our remodel we met with several area design-build firms. JP Ward and Mary Johnston were a great team. They asked a lot of questions about how we live and our family lifestyle. They listened while we described aspects of our house that didn't meet our needs and came up with creative solutions and also made suggestions on alternate approaches to design ideas. They also described how they work and their process in a level of detail that I hadn't found when interviewing other firms. We were very confident that our home remodel would be managed with care at Anthony Wilder. We unexpectedly moved about a month later and did not engage any firm as we were selling the property. I did, however, see examples of their work and would highly encourage others to contact the firm for your design/build needs.”
