Michael Did a great job on our home remodel. Communication was excellent, he was always available to talk us through the process and answer questions. Work was done in a timely manner, and the end result was fantastic! He even came in under the project budget, a welcome surprise, thanks Michael!

We have a mid-century modern house and wanted to add a new kitchen. The old galley kitchen of 1953 just wasn't working for us. Michael helped us every step of the way. We were able to add a modern large kitchen and keep the unique style that attracted us to the classic lines of our new home. We now have a kitchen that flows naturally into a dining and living room area. It's an open floor plan the runs 56 feet and leads into a glass wall and sunroom giving an additional feeling of openness. The old kitchen is now a beautiful laundry room. Michael is a creative thinker and a good listener who was able to capture our hopes for this project.

I am a contractor in the Eugene/SpringField area. I have had the opportunity to work with Michael on several occasions. Both on my job sites as well as we hired him to do drawings for my shop and kitchen/bath remodel. On all occasions Michael was very professional and very easy to work with. We gave him Ideas for our remodel and he gave us back even better ideas and reasons for the ideas. For my shop I also had a design idea and the drawing I received back was exactly what was visioned in my head. On the professional contractor side Michael was very professional and answered any questions I had about the design and details. His drawings are complete and easy to read. I will hire Michael again both for my personal and my professional life. I recommend Michael's services.

Wanted an Interior and exterior design consult. Michael's ideas, presentation and personality are impressive. Phase one of project complete and it is better than we had hoped! This company listened to us and is great to work with. Phase two in 2017.

I type this review from my new home office that was expertly designed by Michael at Agate Architecture. My husband and I presented him with a home that was in desperate need of an addition. Not only was his design aesthetically pleasing, it was smart and functional. Because of Michael's flexibility we were able to complete our addition on budget and we have a beautiful end result. We are exceedingly excited about our new space and our neighbors tell me they love how the home looks too! Michael is a pleasure to work with, has tasteful designs and created for us exactly what we had in mind. I highly recommend Agate Architecture.

After seeing and admiring Michael's work in a friend's kitchen, we met with him to discuss our project goals. We immediately hit it off. He had an uncanny ability to pick fixtures and suggest design elements that fit our style on the first try. Additions to the scope such as redoing the stairs and removing an old upper deck made a world of difference to the end result, and we even managed to stay very close to our original budget expectations. I could not be happier with my new kitchen, dining room, stairs, and laundry room! My (high) expectations were totally exceeded. I recommend Michael highly and can't wait to see what he does next.

Michael Soraci was great to work with. My wife and I hired him to help us design a kitchen remodel for our 1947 house. We wanted something that was both modern and also respected the character of the house. This is a project we talked about for years but could never get on the same page. He got us there! Michael is a great listener and had command of very good computer tools to help us visualize the details of his design proposals. He advised and offered feedback for us on all of the details from big design issues, window selection and down to the small details such as colors, tiles, counter tops, cabinet knobs etc. Michael kept within his own budget for design services and was respectful of our overall project budget with his design suggestions. We are very pleased with our finished product which was completed within our budget. We recommend him without any reservations.

Michael Soraci was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. His attention to detail was fantastic. Nothing gets passed him. He was consistently available throughout the project and made sure everything was correct and to our satisfaction. He has a friendly professional attitude that made the whole experience comfortable and easy, especially to us "newbies" to the building/remodel world. No question was left unanswered. We would/will work with him again the next time we have any building plans.

We were very happy working with Michael on the remodel job. He communicated well, understood what we wanted, had good ideas, listened to our ideas, and was a good problem solver. when the inevitable unexpected came up. He's first rate.

We contacted Michael Soraci to design a larger kitchen for our home. We had a galley kitchen and only knew we wanted more room for moving around and counter space. When Michael met with us, he looked over our home and talked with us about our lifestyle and what it was that we wanted to accomplish with this remodel. He noted our large garden in the back and how much we loved growing flowers and vegetables. We also like to spend time out of doors in good weather. After meeting with Michael just a few times, he had a concept for us to look at. The end result was more than we ever imagined. He incorporated a lovely sun room addition that allowed the kitchen to be more functional and a full wall of windows that brings in the warmth of our lovely garden while prepping and cooking family meals. He added a wrap around deck for enjoying meals or just sitting around. It is now like being outside while in the comfort of the indoors. Thanks to Michael and his sense of feeling of space and recognizing his client’s needs while carrying them out with beautiful design.

Mr. Soraci has been very patient with us in the design phase of a complex project. We have made several adjustments along the way, and he has been very attentive to our needs and suggestions. He always has a work around and a way to make things happen!! We have been very pleased with his services. I highly recommend.

We worked with Michael designing our master bedroom suite. Michael is creative, energetic, enthusiastic, positive, respectful and funny. We loved all of his ideas for our space and would recommend him without reservation.
