Andrea Swan - Swan Architecture

From initial consultation to the end of our extensive renovation project, Andrea was great to work with. A creative and talented architect, she listened to our desires and expectations and transformed those ideas into a cohesive and beautiful structure. In fact, the renovation was truly a renewal of our home. She interpreted our design aesthetic, melding what existed with new spaces. The experience was exciting and gratifying. And today, our abode is a wonderful place to live.

We’re so grateful to Andrea Swan and team for designing our custom Lakeside home. She collaborated seamlessly with my husband and I, our builder, interior designer, landscape architect and many others to create a home that perfectly suits our lifestyle. She was also respectful of our budget and advocated for a program that met our needs. Her energy and flair for the creative made the experience a delight. Thank you!

Andrea and her team did a great job listening to what we wanted in our new home, and designing it to fit our needs. High quality, attention to detail and very easy to work with. Our home turned out beautiful!

Swan Architecture designed the house of our dreams. They were wonderful to work with and their design epitomizes excellence! Warm, cozy, functional, clean, and unique are just among of the characteristics we love about our home.

Andrea and her amazing team were terrific to work with! They did a great job of listening and working to understand what we were looking for and translating that into a beautiful design. They also did a great job of enhancing and improving on our ideas.. our house turned out beautiful. The entire team comes to the table with a positive, client-first, can-do attitude. Andrea and team are great at attention to detail and have a high standard of excellence for their work. We highly recommend Swan Architecture!

Our experience with Andrea was exceptional - from our early meetings imagining all of the possibilities, to the final stages of bringing it all together and finalizing every last detail. She is incredibly creative and talented, but also equally passionate about understanding her client's dreams in order to create a home that achieves their goals. She is every ounce a professional - knowledgable about every detail, passionate about the quality and integrity of the design, and committed to meeting her client's budgets and deadlines. As first time home builders, we relied heavily on her and her team to help us navigate the entire process, and could not be more thrilled with the result!

Andrea and her colleague Constance were a joy to work with. "Everybody" told us that this was a terrible idea .... it would be torture.... and we would end up divorced. But no. They made the process fun and rewarding and ultimately a tremendous success. We would do it all over again with Andrea. We should be moving into our new and amazing house in 3 weeks with big smiles.

Andrea Swan is undoubtedly one of the most talented, if not the very best, residential architect in the Twin Cities. My wife Frances and I became aware of Andrea when we took note of a strikingly beautiful new home in our neighborhood, and immediately decided that we wanted to work with the architect that had designed it. Andrea is, simply put, an architectural genius. Our home, while completely unique compared to other homes she has designed, still has all the attributes of Andrea's signature look: cohesive, balanced, elegant, refined and exquisitely detailed, always wonderfully pleasing to the eye, and never appearing to "try too hard." I have always thought that one measure of genius is the ability to explain complex subjects in simple terms, and I think Andrea meets that measure in her ability to express complex designs in clean and deceptively simple ways. To top it all off, Andrea and her team were extraordinarily easy to work with, and we never once were disappointed in our dealings with her. In short, Andrea Swan is an extraordinarily talented and pleasant professional at the top of her game.

Andrea and her team at Swan Architecture were amazing to work with. Their attention to detail and follow through are second to none. We will strongly recommend our future clients to work with the team at Swan!

Andrea Swan could not have been a better fit for us. Her ability to listen and bring to life our dream was amazing. Our goal was to have our home become apart of the nature that surrounds it with a welcoming and cozy atmosphere for our family and our guest, and she certainly hit the mark. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.
