Universal Designers Near Burlington

“We’ve entrusted Bill and his team with several projects on our 50+ year-old log cabin, and each time they have proven to be reliable, honest, and hardworking. Not only did they complete every task to our satisfaction, but they also thoughtfully highlighted important issues we should be aware of—without ever trying to upsell us. We couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of their work and the integrity they bring to every job.”

“This is my first time working with MGF Designs, but I have been quite impressed with the skillset and attention to detail that Melissa and her firm brings to project while promoting the Integrated Construction Process. Our client and contractors have benefited from her well thought out and detailed designs. When questions arise, she is only a quick phone call away and is more than willing to meet us on the jobsite to work through the details even to the extent of trekking atop a 3-story roof in the middle of a Vermont Winter to put her eyes on a situation and offer her experienced ideas. I love the fact that she is a certified Passive House Designer that is concerned not only with designing energy efficient structures, but also ensuring that they are built to an occupant healthy and durable standard. If asked whether or not we would recommend Melissa and her firm to other clients I have and will do so in full confidence in her professionalism and qualifications.”

“It was literally a "dream come true" for me to work with Michael Bird and Adirondack Design, in several respects - as a professional interior designer, as a homeowner in the Adirondacks, and as a longtime fan and follower of his work (well before I actually had the opportunity to work with him). Adirondack Design was my first choice when the time came to design and build an authentic rustic-style, Adirondack home, in 2007. I had a definite house plan, layout and details in mind - roughly drawn out on a piece of paper, and then left it to Michael to make it a reality, while also filling in with all the special touches that came with his knowledge, experience and background. He was always willing and able to take an idea or suggestion and come back with even more and better. He and his staff were a pleasure to work with - every detail was covered in all respects. A thorough project manual binder with all architectural and engineering drawings was provided, covering all the specifics involved - with materials lists and schedules noted for every last item. Michael's supervision of the construction phase included many on-site visits, and he worked seamlessly with the builders who were also excellent. He always maintained a calm and competent attitude, being available to solve problems or discuss any details with me and/or the builders. It was wonderful to work with Michael on both levels -as the homeowner, and an interior designer. He understood and interpreted all of the personal design requests that I asked for, and made suggestions that tied in perfectly with my end goals. Collaborating with him was a totally enjoyable, enlightening process that resulted in such a beautiful and unique home that is eminently livable and comfortable throughout the seasons. I would absolutely recommend Adirondack Design to those who are seeking a premier, beautiful rustic home that perfectly reflects the spirit and feeling of this unique area.”
