Universal Designers in Oakville

“We loved working with Killeen Studio Architects. We needed drawings to buid a laundry area in our 100-year-old St. Louis condo. The project included demolition of a closet that divided the condo’s large hall into two awkward spaces. Our new laundry is still under construction but we can already see it makes better use of the space. Mike Killeen and his team not only turned the drawings around fast, but also gave us advice, ideas and the names of trusted contractors. The whole experience was very professional, the drawings were exactly what we needed and the price was reasonable. We will certainly use Killeen Studio for our next project and I have no hesitation recommending them to others.”

“We hired Chris to help us plan out our kitchen/living room/deck remodel, as you can see on his Houzz site it turned out beautifully. It is the kitchen of our dreams! He also invisioned details that we would never hav e thought of. Most notable opening up the hallway to go through from front door to the back deck doors. Check out kitchen and living room remodel at Christopher Marshall in the architect section of Houzz. We couldn't be happier with his professional is and foresight.”

“My husband and I hired Mosby Building Arts to remodel our kitchen and to replace an existing deck with a three season room. I was dreading the thought of construction but the professionals at Mosby from the engineers, to the design crew to the craftsmen who worked on our project made the entire process flow so smoothly that before I knew it we had our marvelous living space redone and enjoying the fact that it was so much more functional than it had been before. Mosby took a great deal of time in the planning stages of our project, asking questions about what we liked about our living space and what things we wanted to change. With such great dialogue and attention to detail, we were able to create a kitchen, laundry room and three season room that is MUCH better suited to our work flow, entertainment habits, and daily needs than the original home layout. It could not have been a more pleasant experience. I would recommend Mosby to anyone who is looking to make their home a better place to live.”

“Agape was extremely professional and service oriented. They provided high quality work and finished the project at the deadline they projected. Every person we worked with was polite and skilled. Our screened porch exceeded our expectations. We had an issue with someone we hired separately to do our flooring (not recommended by Agape) and Agape stepped in when we had issues with them and completed loose ends when the flooring company refused to come back at no extra charge. I would highly recommend Agape and use them again for any future projects.”

“Donna, Allan, and their architectural support team are amazingly and refreshingly personal, creative, professional, and responsive. They were able to take an old 70s ranch with all its oddities and convert it into a new craftsman style home. They listened carefully over many conferences to come up with a creative design, worked within our budget to get us what we needed, revised and revised patiently to get it perfect, and then followed up with on the job supervision and sometimes substantive changes on the fly, including invaluable help with the governmental review process. They all worked so well with our construction crew, who had their cell numbers for on the spot questions about plans or problems, of which, one can imagine, there were many. Thanks to Donna's architectural design (the neighbors are truly in awe of the front elevation and interior transformation), Allan's meticulously drafted plans (the city review board and fire teams said they had never seen such meticulous detail), and the respectful collaboration with all involved (we are all still talking to each other after what ended up being a tedious, four year project), we now have the transformed home we wanted when we started: solid as a rock and nearly soundproof, aesthetically consistent with the older parts of the house, and the openness, light, and functionality of a new home, even if it all drove Donna and Allan crazy sometimes trying to get it for us! They did it all with a smile, and with exceptional professionalism. They certainly went the distance for us, and are just an awesome team. They have my highest recommendation as an architectural firm.”

“The Nistenhaus gentleman are outstanding. They are fun to do business with and have great style. No two projects look alike. They really listened to what we wanted and made our house look like it belonged in a magazine. It was still OUR style, which was amazing. They are also hardworking and efficient. The projects they completed with us were done in no time.”

“I enjoyed working with Dana as she helped reconfigure my space into something I had never even imagined a couple years ago. Her resources are professionals who do the job right AND are decently priced- hard to find these days. She has lots of great ideas, but as long as you tell her upfront what your budget is she will stay within your parameters. We are in the process of fixing up a house and have asked her to help with this project too. Already so excited!”

“Denise was great to work with on my kitchen project. She took months patiently helping design the layout. Once the layout was complete, she ordered all the products and saw the project through to the end. She even helped me find my contractor and floor refinishing company. I would highly recommend Denise for your renovation project.”

“I have been using Jenny Rapp now for almost 3 years. It all began about one week after I moved into our new home. I reached out to Jenny to help me with our family room. It then went from our family room to kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and now we are currently working on a living space in our basement. She was just that good that I felt compelled to use her for each space in our house. It has become our inside joke that each time she comes over I end up asking her about another room which leads to another project. By utilizing Jenny, I have saved so much time and money as she is a one stop shop and is so thorough that everything is perfect on round one. Jenny will win you over with her personality and knowledge of the business. Jenny is always filled with ideas and suggestions, is so easy to work with and there is never any pressure. Jenny has made my house a home and she truly is the best in her industry. I have recommended her to several of my friends and family and they love her too!”

“We were extremely thankful for Gigi’s expert counsel for our bathroom remodel. And for first time ever, we had a ‘design emergency’, and put a call in to her, STAT! That evening, after a normal workday, we had discovered a major mistake the tiler had made. Gigi was extremely responsive and came right over. As she looked at the situation, she calmly advised us on a few alternatives on how to correct the mistake. The issue was calmly, easily resolved, thanks to Gigi. Gigi works within your budget, is efficient, and timely. I would trust Gigi with any room design, redesign, or remodel. I can’t imagine a better interior designer.”
