Historic Building Conservation Companies in Lafayette

“I have had two separate projects with Sasquatch architecture and both came in under budget and on time. Kris is very responsive and provides excellent suggestions throughout the development of the project.”

“We're really enjoying working with the Giulietti/Schouten team designing our new beach home. When we were searching for an architect, we looked at portfolios from many firms and were struck by the breadth and creativity of their work. The combination of artistry, creativity, flexibility, practicality, and attention to detail they bring to their work is really impressive, and has resulted in a design much better than we envisioned. It's particularly impressive when the complicated site and extreme environment of our oceanfront setting are taken into account. We're very happy with the project and feel fortunate to have found this great group of people to work with! Follow-on now that the project is finished: Our home turned out beautifully. They were extremely helpful during the construction phase, helping us with the multitude of decisions and working with our builder to assure every detail was as it was envisioned. We were really lucky to have their team to work with! We give them our highest recommendation.”

“I connected with John to help restore our newly-purchased 1967 single-floor ranch cottage in Portland, OR. Even during our first interaction, John had a calm, approachable demeanor, and listen thoroughly to my design ideas. He followed through on listening with strong visualization through 3D renderings that made me feel as if I was standing in my home, before we even began construction. His realistic renderings helped us make some necessary design changes to improve the flow of the layout before investing in construction, which ended up being a massive cost-saving for us. Throughout the schematic design, design development, and construction documents phases, John had fantastic communication and was on time, even early, with his deliverables. We will 1000% utilize spacehouse's services again for our next home design project!”

“Andrew Schilling of SALT Architecture is to me the nearly perfect architect. I have worked with and hired many architects on various projects over the years and they usually seem to be either creative or technical...Andrew is both (and more). When I was interviewing architects in the Portland area to build my house he stood out from the crowd with his excellent communication skills, technical ability, deep knowledge, experience, and ability to capture our dreams and represent them in drawings. Frankly, I had expected him to have the highest bid of the group...and when he didn't I smiled and immediately accepted Now, with our project complete I am able to look back and say that it was an excellent decision on our part and I am looking forward to working with him and the SALT team with more builds in the future.”

“We highly recommend working with Matt and Angela for your next project. We hired them to do a complete remodel of the kitchen in the cosmetic fixer we had just purchased. This house has all the bones—solid everything—but it needs just about every inch upgraded for style and comfort. We started with the kitchen and first floor to make it comfortable enough to move in. It was a big project, but these two made it easy. Not only were they professional, enthusiastic, and very talented, but they were encouraging (while remaining completely professional) when things got tough with our not-so-great contractor. They listened very well to our needs, stayed right in line with our design aesthetic yet seamlessly took it to the next level. They honored our greatest wishes and desires while highly elevating anything we could have dreamed up on our own and did so with our budget top of mind. Their ideas were innovative, fresh, and inspired. They weren't afraid to change course when needed and make suggestions and changes that we would have never otherwise considered and that have completely created the foundation of character for our new home. We went from having a tight, stuffy, ugly, crappy, and clunky kitchen and livingroom; to having a bright, open, modern, inviting, and sophisticated home. They told us in the beginning that they would get excited with us and for us throughout this project–that got us very interested because we have worked on several other projects with other teams where things started going awry and the stress elevated. These guys only took away from the stress, staying on track and enthusiastic throughout, just like they said they would. Everything was delivered professionally and on time. They exceeded our expectations at every turn and we have our dream kitchen and living room to show for it. We cannot wait to work with them again.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Michael on three projects -- to the studs kitchen and bathroom remodels on our home, as well as the building of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (or "mother in law" apartment/800 SF house) in our back yard. Michael has a fantastic eye for clean and timeless designs that match the character of not only the house, but the homeowners as well. While he willingly shares his opinions, we always felt he listened to us and respected both our budget and how we actually live, work and play in our spaces. We have recommended Michael to friends in the past and would do so again in a heartbeat. (As I am mentioning 3 projects, and the space below only allows for one project cost, here is a rough breakdown: the kitchen remodel was in the $50k range, the bath in the $25k and the ADU came in at right around $100k.)”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Erich on several projects throughout the years. On building projects, hundreds of problems will arise and how they are dealt with determines the true professionalism of an architect. Erich has never missed a beat on solving the problems with me on custom door and window orders and has come up with very creative solutions. It would simplify Erich's skills to just say he is detail oriented, he goes far beyond just details. He looks at the job as a whole and somehow manages to break every component down into sub assemblies and how they interact with each other. Not just how it's to be designed and built, but does the item work aesthetically in the overall design. Simply put, he is a pro, an absolute pro. I have always enjoyed working with him and look forward to working on the next project with Erich. Shawn Shallenberger Northwest Door and Sash”

“Upbeat,and professional. Andrea has a unique world class approach to Design, probably due to her abilities as an architect and the fact that she brings a special flair from her native Argentina. She delivers clean lines with a warmth drawn from natural elements. A must for those seeking a striking original look.”

“I would highly recommend Martha for any remodel/design projects, large or small. She's fun and very easy to work with. She takes the time to listen, gets to know your personal tastes, likes & dislikes, and presents many great options. We love our new home and get fabulous comments and reviews from everyone who sees it. You'll love Martha and her ideas.”

“phil of integrate was amazing to work with: professional and flexible and timely. we hired him after meeting with a handful of other architects. he was above and beyond what we were looking for and he was with us every step of the way on our project journey. we are so lucky we found him and would recommend him highly!”
