“This team did an excellent job with our renovation plans. The finished space exceeds our expectations and adds value to our home!”

“We met with Ileana to discuss possible renovation ideas to our 1960s house to open up the space and to re-think our upstairs bathrooms. She designed the project in a way that allowed us to consider the two pieces (upstairs and downstairs) both separately and together. We originally thought we would focus on the upstairs initially, but we were so happy with the redesigned first floor that we ended up deciding to tackle this project first. We contracted with a local company to do the work, and they have had no problems following Ileana's architectural drawings.”

“Karen at Transforming Architecture was reccoemnded by my real estate agent as she had done work on his home. At our first meeting she gave us an idea of the scope of the projects she has accomplished and the fee structure. She really listened to our ideas and concerns for our kitchen renovation. Karen presented 3 visions for our renovation, one with exactly what we asked for and then two other options. The third design presented involved moving our kitchen and creating an open floor plan. This was beyond anything we could have imagined o our own and made the best use of the space and our renovation dollars. We are currently under construction but Karen is readily available to answer questions and make edits to the design. It is a pleasure to work with her and I can't wait to see her vision come to fruition.”

“Scott was incredibly helpful, he explained a lot to me and gave me advice even after he knew I was not going to use him as an architect, he still took the time to make sure I was on the right track and told me things to ask the architect I was using instead to make sure my project was done right. The only reason I did not go with him was because the architect I originally got a quote from was less expensive because I was tweaking a design they had already created, versus starting from scratch. Otherwise I would have chosen Scott. He is a good person, very helpful and seems like an incredibly knowledgeable architect. I would recommend him for sure.”

“I have used Design Depictions for multiple projects. They have always been very professional and responsive. Their ideas and engineering practices have been very helpful. I look forward to my next project.”

“Dan was an amazing resource for my house renovation, helping me at all stages of the project. He assisted me in figuring out the financing and then worked closely with me in an iterative way, going through various options to create the plans for what ultimately became my dream home. Dan's value was in combining a keen artistic eye with great structural and engineering knowledge as well a through knowledge of the permitting process and economics of house renovations. He also introduced me to a terrific contractor who proved invaluable and well as vendors and suppliers who were great. Renovating a house can a daunting and sometimes scary process, but Dan's good counsel, sound advice, first-hand experience, and architectural skills made the process exciting, fulfilling, and even fun. I highly recommend him.”

“Continuum was extremely helpful working with the City of DC. They have a deep knowledge of the building and zoning code and years of experience working in Washington DC. Continuum was invaluable getting our occupancy and accessibility items approved. We are already working with Dave and team on our next venture!”

“I contacted Laura about helping us determine if our 105 year old row house could handle a rooftop garden. Because older homes used different building methods, often without today’s building codes as reference, there was no easy way to easily tell if this could work. Laura knew the right person to contact and brought in an expert engineer to assess the situation. Both he and Laura concluded that the roof would have to be completely rebuilt in order to start the project. This was more than we had planned. In the process, however, we were able to locate the best area to create an interior access to the roof, which it presently does not have. You can image getting the AC on the roof serviced is quite a pain. From the beginning of the project, Laura was extremely professional, patient and accommodating. She knew the right questions to ask and answered all our questions thoroughly. It was such a relief to have an experienced architect managing the project and communicating all the details throughout. Most importantly, Laura helped us make a major decision with confidence. She saved us countless of dollars, time and probably nightmares had we selected someone less knowledgeable. Although we won’t get to enjoy her state-of-the-art, architectural designs for our rooftop garden as I had envisioned, I’ll enjoy recommending her services to clients and friends. Maybe she can build one for them that we can enjoy.”
