Architetti a Friday Harbor

“Vassos Demetriou and his team do an amazing job. They designed our dream home for us, made necessary adjustments when we needed to meet our budget, and now are helping us through the permitting and building process. They are a fantastic full-service architect team.”

“Sarah is a consummate professional with a keen eye and shares a unique vision for every space she approaches.”

“Professional, friendly, skilled, clever -- that's how I would describe the experience of working with Prentiss Architects. In any design project, problems come up, but it is how the problems are solved that is telling. We walked away happy. We are proud of and are still in love with our house in the San Juan Islands, 10 years later.”

“I am a retired Interior Designer and wanted to work with an architect who was up on the latest improvements in HVAC and plumbing. I had a pretty clear idea of the layout of our new house but needed help deciding on a contractor to hire as well as some creative structural details to make our 1800 sq. ft. single level home work for us as we age without looking like an "old folks home". Haven Design was instrumental in helping us select a contractor and we have been very pleased with the results.”

“Mike at Premium was a tremendous help in the complete renovation and remodelling of several properties in Victoria. His expertise and knowledge of both the design and construction of a complex project like these helped make them all successful. There were many design decisions that were needed to maximize the usability of the space, as we transferred many of the properties into highly desirable rental suites. Our tenants loved the final designs. Mike's expertise about the the full project scope (design, permits, construction, market) prevented us from making costly mistakes, while also enhancing the properties in their completed state. We will continue to work with Mike, and can't recommend him enough. The projects that we completed with Mike yielded properties that were instantly rented to long term tenants.”

“In the realm of architecture, finding someone who not only designs a house but crafts a home tailored to your dreams is like discovering a hidden gem in a sea of stones. Matthew isn't just an architect; he's a dreamweaver, a magician who took the blueprint of our aspirations and transformed it into a tangible reality that exceeds every expectation. We purchased land near Pine Lake in Sammamish with permitted plans, but we found ourselves uninspired by the proposed house design. Despite numerous revisions, the essence of our vision was missing. Seeking guidance, we turned to Matthew, who quickly identified flaws and presented fresh design options. Entrusting him with the decision-making process, we were captivated by his vision, prompting us to halt construction and embark on a new journey to craft the home of our dreams alongside Matthew. Matthew's approach isn't just about drawing lines and angles; it's about understanding the soul of a space. He didn't just listen; he absorbed our dreams, our fears, and our aspirations, infusing them into every curve and corner of the design. His probing questions sparked conversations that delved deeper than architectural aesthetics, forging a connection that transcended mere client and architect. Throughout our collaboration, Matthew exuded professionalism like a beacon in the night. His guidance was not just about making decisions but about empowering us to make informed choices that resonated with our vision and budget. His transparent communication and unwavering support transformed what could have been a daunting process into a journey of discovery and joy. Matthew's design transcends the ordinary, weaving together elements of comfort, elegance, and warmth in a tapestry of architectural brilliance. The way he seamlessly integrated indoor and outdoor spaces, framing breathtaking views with each window, fills us with a sense of awe and gratitude every time we walk through the door. For anyone seeking not just a house but a home—a place where memories are made—I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew. His talent, his passion, and his unwavering commitment to excellence make him not just an architect but a trusted partner in the journey of turning dreams into reality. As we eagerly anticipate the commencement of construction, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Matthew for his invaluable contributions. We are truly fortunate to have had him by our side throughout this transformative process. Shweta and Shilen”

“BTW Morris is a very calm, methodical, experienced architect that listens patiently to his clients needs and wants. He very diplomatically manages to interact with all parties involved in the complex construction process whilst keeping a rational eye on budget . We are extremely happy with the custom home he designed for us after a thorough information gathering process. We can honestly say we have absolutely no regrets, and can highly recommend him.”

“Designward not only developed the renovation plans and provided the interior design services, they managed the total process. Their ability to work with the contract manager and the various skilled artisans resulted in outcomes beyond our expectations. Because of the distance between our two homes (about 2500 miles), we relied heavily on Designward to insure that all the aspects of a major renovation, furniture purchase,delivery,installation and arrangement fell into place in a timely manner. Their guidance creating an home that fells like "our home not the designer's " is one characteristic that makes Designward a top quality firm. The fact that Bonnie and Don are easy to work with and responsive to our needs made this daunting task enjoyable. We highly recommend Designward but only if you are interested in highly skilled professional services that produce quality results.”

“As General Contractors, we have had the privilege of working with Dan Nelson and the great folks at Designs Northwest Architects on many projects, some award winning. We recommend them highly and look forward to working with them on many projects in the future! ~ RGN Construction, LLC, Seattle WA”

“When we decided to do a major renovation/reconstruction of our home we had nothing more than an abstract idea of what we wanted and the process seemed extremely daunting. We had heard wonderful things about Dave from friends, whose home is spectacular, and decided to contact Dave. Dave really listened to us and asked questions that clearly showed he was paying attention to our needs. He took our very abstract idea for our home and proposed inventive design solutions that we would never have imagined. Throughout the design and construction process Dave was extremely responsive, delivering drawings when promised and holding true to his commitments to us. More importantly he was respectful of our questions and immediately addressed any concerns that we might have had. Dave was always mindful of our limited budget, balancing our wish list against what the budget would allow. What seemed like such a daunting experience turned out to be quite wonderful thanks to Dave's extensive knowledge of architecture and design, his professionalism, and the ease of which it is to work with him. Thank you Dave for our lovely new home!”
