Steven Laurin & Company

Prior to building our house twenty years ago, my husband & I asked two highly recommended architects to compete by making elevations drawings for us. We had very clear ideas of what we wanted, but no idea of how the house might actually look. There was no contest after all. Steve took everything we had described in random notes and made a symphony. Now at a point in our lives where downsizing is upon us, we have once again turned to Steve. The challenge this time is an 1850 town house which will need extensive restructuring & reconfiguring to accommodate our need for light & a more open floor plan while, at the same time retaining its Victorian charm; marrying the old & the new. We have total confidence in Steve because of his professional experience, his knowledge of historic styles & period details and his awareness & sensitivity to the needs of the contemporary life-style. For the client unable to read plans, his skills with computer 3D imaging make the vision extremely attainable & his remarkable ability as a draftsman make building from his plans an easy job for the contractor. Steve is always available to answer questions or give advise whether to the client or the builder.

I have worked with Steve since 1980 when he designed my house. Steve makes extremely accurate drawings which are important to both the owner and the contractor. I ran a local construction company in Newport RI, and Steve designded and prepared plans for many of my clients. He is a pleasure to work with, and he is open to client requests and client preferences. He is very professional, and imaginative in his designs. I highly recommend Steve for your project for either a new house or a renovation.

Could not have been more pleased with every aspect of Steve's work. We were amazed with the design Steve developed from the information we supplied. During construction my contractor commented about the feasibility and accuracy of the prints. No revisions ever had to be made. It was a pleasure working with Steve. If I have the chance, would love to do it again.
