Universal Designers in Maunawili

“There is nothing finer than building with a great team! We have had the pleasure of working together with Dian on a number of fabulous projects. Each of these builds have been complex and unique, she has been the key to the success of the project on every occasion. Dian listens and hears what our clients are asking for, she communicates well with our craftsmen so together we develop the best methods to construct & create. She is responsive and always alert regarding the importance of timely decision making and material purchasing, which helps us stay on schedule and budget. Dian is skilled with colors, textures and furnishings. She is an excellent designer who I can highly recommend.”

“We had a great experience with Phillip White, Laura Ayers and staff when building our new home in Manoa. They are professional, friendly, responsive to our needs as well as giving us superb ideas for the creation of our new home. They worked as a positive team, that really got along on all levels. Their working environment made us feel comfortable and welcome. We highly recommend them for any new clients/projects.”

“Victor "Dean" Sinco is an excellent architect and he has an excellent team of drafts-people at Entheos. He is both creative and practical. He comes up with ideas that look good but are also cost-effective. He knows how to make new construction match original construction. He is great at supervising the work and coming up with solutions on the spot for any problems. He has always responded to me in a timely way. He has done both large and small projects for me. For one large project, he designed a guest suite addition to my house that added a laundry, kitchen, and screened porch to an existing bedroom and bath. At the same time he designed a roof extension, a new laundry room plus a solar water heater room, and a complete renovation of two bathrooms, one of them handicap. A few years later, he turned a walk-in closet into a half-bath plus a smaller closet and turned garage storage into interior storage. Recently, he designed a fence, gate, and lanai for me. I will continue to use him for any future projects.”

“Plus Interiors did a great job for us! From the Armoire They made for Granny to the closet doors we had made for our bedroom. The staff is friendly, the sales crew professional and the installation crew on time clean and efficient workers. I'm looking forward to getting our new kitchen cabinets from them also. It has been a pleasure working with employees who enjoy their job. Sam”

He is also highly intelligent and can solve many problems of design and construction that other architects have problems with.”

Joan has attention to detail. Her ability to listen to what I envisioned for my living room space and to quickly draw a floor plan was very impressive. The consultation and outcome of the project is definitely worth $400. I highly recommend Joan for any design project.”
