Metropolis Design Group

Laura helped us design a two-story addition to our home that included a new kitchen, mudroom, and two bathrooms. We were delighted by Laura's flexibility in process, design instincts, communication, and professional network and highly recommend her. By the time we began interviewing designers, we had developed a detailed floorplan and received pricing from some design / build firms. It became clear that the design / build firms we talked to were either "design-forward" or "build-forward." In response, we worked with Laura and a draftsperson to develop a full set of bid drawings to bid our job out to builders. We had thought about our project for years and were looking for a hands-on design process where we could provide a great deal of feedback. Even during our initial consultation we appreciated how flexible Laura was about her process, and how she could listen to our thoughts, even in areas where our design differed and offer specific questions and direction to clarify our thinking. During space planning, Laura reworked our floorplan to streamline it in ways we had not imagined. She patiently questioned some of the tradeoffs we had planned to highlight areas where we could save money or make a more functional use of space. She and Mary quickly and reasonably developed schematics for our kitchens, bathrooms, and cabinetry. During finish selection, Laura quickly came to understand our aesthetic. She had an amazing knack for helping us work through areas where we were uncertain or disagreed and balanced between riffing off our ideas and stepping in when she felt we were heading in the wrong direction. Finally, we appreciated Laura's network of tile, counter, and lighting providers and the excellent pricing she has with these retailers. We appreciated Laura's support and guidance during our our renovation. She was quick to respond via email and text, and always brought patience, a positive mindset and deep expertise. We will *definitely* use her again whenever we need design advice.

Creative. Flexible. Has a heart for design. Laura and her team are great at coming alongside you and enhancing your space! No one enjoys designing beautiful spaces more than her!

I have had the pleasure of photographing some of Laura's work which is beautiful. She is wonderful to work with, a very good communicator, and has an excellent eye. Highly recommend !

How Laura melds a put-you-at-ease manner with a perfect professionalism never fails to impress me! She has a wonderful command of color and form and combines them with a practicality that can meet any challenge head on. Her relationships with her trusted vendors and craftspeople is a huge plus, too.

We give Laura Bischoff the highest praise and recommendation! We struggled with how to best use our home's space. Laura solved the problem by providing a creative design solution and ideas that more effectively used existing space, frugally, without exorbitant construction or remodeling costs. Laura is experienced, talented, a good listener, cheerful and makes the design solution process very efficient and easy. Her creative design solution for our space was brilliant! (and made us say "why didn't we think of that?") ! We were elated with the results and give Laura Bischoff the highest recommendation!

I have worked with Laura over the last 25+ years helping her sell a number of the homes she has worked on. I find that she is wonderfully thoughtful, creative, and efficient in her work. I love seeing how she can clearly see the essence of a home and what it can become. She can work with everything from traditional to contemporary, homes to lofts, and more. When I can, I like to refer Laura to clients who I know will be well served by her talents.

I've had the great pleasure of working with Laura Bischoff of Metropolis Design Group on two large projects. Laura is a dedicated professional in her field and a total delight to work with. She's on top of every aspect of a project, has a ton of resources and contacts, and is always proactive, assuring me more than once that everything would turn out just fine... and she was right! Laura would be a valuable asset on any design project.

Laura is fabulous to work with! She has the ability to think out of the box, and always can come up with a space solution. Her knowledge of all things in the design/build world is extensive. She is my go-to person whenever i need help with all my decisions!

Laura advised on the overall bath and walk-in closet design layout, tile and lighting selection. She has access to many material options and choices so the result is just what I was hoping to have- a light, airy and unusual bath with steam shower and a great walk-in.

I have known and worked with Laura for over 12 years in the industry. She is very creative, yet practical in her approach. The end result is always immensely pleasing and in line with budget!

Laura is a creative soul who designs spaces that uniquely fit a particular home and homeowner. Her choices in our home have always drawn oohs and ahhs in terms of functionality and creativity. Working with her is like having a conversation with a friend--she will tell you her opinion, but she will also offer many options to suit your needs and budget. Highly recommend.

Laura Bischoff of Metropolis Design Group is creative, practical, budget-conscious and collaborative. She recommended many outstanding resources for lighting, flooring, wall coverings and more. Everyone she suggested was professional, responsive and reliable. Laura's great eye helped me with a number of important decisions, in particular my paint color palette. I never would have achieved the harmony I was looking for without her. She is an excellent designer and advisor who I hope to work with again someday.
