Portland Maine, ME Architectural Drawing Professionals

“We used Lauren for a complete remodel including kitchen, multiple bathrooms, playroom, and bedroom. We used her for complete architectural and interior design. She was with us from start to finish of the project and we owe the success to her. Lauren has great design skills which is completely obvious by viewing her portfolio. The equally as helpful (and likely more important) skills that she brings to the table are her attention to detail and her perseverance in dealing with the contractors. She is there at every meeting to crack the proverbial whip and is very responsive (NYC responsive ;) to email/ phone/ text. I have and will continue to recommend her without reservation.”

“Kaplan Thompson Architects is a top notch firm with energy efficiency as its major focus. They are easy to work with and are full of ideas. We have worked with them on several projects over the years.”

“Steve was a great partner to work with on our recent net zero Design/Build collaboration! Steve was able to take our detailed list of design requirements and create an incredibly functional home plan that ultimately satisfied all of our needs and desires. Highlights of our project included: - The final home plan was the product of a highly collaborative and iterative design process that relied upon 3D renderings and walkthroughs to test and review the plan at each stage of design. This allowed us to validate the plan and, where necessary, make adjustments before construction actually started. We can honestly say that there is nothing material we would change about the design. - Steve’s extensive background in modular and net zero construction ensured an extremely energy-efficient home (HERS score of 11) - Our building envelope presented some interesting positional challenges that Steve was able to solve elegantly and efficiently. - Steve not only accommodated our desire to do the interior finishing work (i.e., cabinetry, tiling, flooring, painting, etc.) ourselves, but in fact actively facilitated our ability to do so by adjusting his build plan to complete our workshop well before the rest of the house was completed. We love our new home and cannot recommend Steve highly enough! Juergen and Joan Renger Freeport, ME”

“I hired Brayden of Tuscher Design Group to design an ocean front beach house for me. The house was to replace an existing 1950's cape that was our family summer house for decades. Brayden listened to my design ideas, he understood I did not want a huge box on the ocean like so many neighbors have built, and he understood my emotional attachment to the existing house. Ultimately he designed a home that was reminiscent of the family beach house but redesigned to give greater use of space and inviting to the natural beauty just outside the multitude of windows, so even when inside you felt you were communing with nature. It was a joy to work with Brayden, he truly wants his customers to be happy with their new home design. My home had many FEMA regulations to consider through out the design process and Brayden was well versed in all requirements. I felt very comfortable with Tuscher Design Group as the architectural division of building my new home. I highly recommend the Tuscher Design Group.”

“My wife and I worked with Bob and Paul on our Addition/Renovation at our house and couldn't be more excited with the outcome. We were both new to the process and both Bob and Paul patiently worked with us as we developed the project. They were always responsive to our calls and questions and supported us even after the drawings were done and we moved into the construction phase. Would recommend them to anyone.”

“When my husband and I decided to build our “dream house” we hired Karina to help us visualize and create a fresh and different space for our new life as empty-nesters. We started from scratch on a piece of land that was a mile away from the house we lived in for over 37 years. Karina's insight was impeccable and thoughtful. Her first suggestion was to position the house in such a way that it would have solar efficiency all year long. That initial decision was the first of many that yielded a distinctive and one-of-a-kind design just for us. During our weekly meetings over many months, Karina listened intently to our ideas and made them visible on paper. We worked as a team, and with Karina's unique insight and creativity we designed an exceptional, warm and beautiful new “forever” home. We would highly recommend Schatelier Architectural Studio for any design service.”

“We took on Briburn for a substantial new residential project on the basis of their website and their stated philosophy, and a 2 hour interview/discussion. As our first and only choice, they clearly stood out among a dozen other architects in the area. We are in the midst of planning now and the process is almost painless. Their guidance is gentle and considerate; their knowledge of "green" building practices is vast. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next steps in this adventure with Briburn.”

“I have observed Kevin's continuing progress over the years and have witnessed his professionalism with attention to detail. I would recommend him highly too handle any type of architectural design project.”

“We have worked on several projects with Caleb Johnson Architects + Builders, and every one has been a great experience. Working closely with many of their architects and project leads has been an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Each and every project that we have worked on with cjab has been unique and insightfully designed. Their integration of timber frame elements into the designs has produced aesthetically pleasing spaces with a warm and inviting essence. We highly recommend cjab as an architectural service or in the design-build capacity. We look forward to the continued strong relationship and future collaboration! -Evan Dyer Rockport Post & Beam”

“We hired Anne Callender as the architect for our remodel of the Wolf Cove Inn in Poland Maine. We walked through our thoughts on desired changes but also asked Anne to think "outside the box" of what we described. We eventually selected one of her outside the box ideas and couldn't be happier with the result. Anne stuck with us along the way through the design, permitting and demolition process until we had a complete set of drawings that satisfied out needs as well as those of our tradesman and the regulatory authorities. The quality of her work and support were outstanding.”
