gene mastrangeli design

We are very happy with the results of our backyard project designed and overseen to completion by Gene. Gene balanced our vision and budget with his keen eye for style, quality and function. He was always responsive, and produced new drawings quickly whenever we needed them. When the work was under way on site, he came by often to check on progress. Communication was always clear and professional, yet relaxed. Gene is a trustworthy professional. We happily recommend him to anyone looking for a quality architectural designer.

As first time home owners and renovators we were so appreciative of having Gene on our project. Right from the beginning we felt confident and had a high level of trust in his ability to help and guide us through our renovation. Gene provided us with ideas for our layout that make a long a narrow space feel functional, connected, and surprisingly wide. He was invaluable when it came to dealing with permitting, sourcing an engineer, product/finish suggestions, etc. We would have no hesitation working with Gene again on future renovations.

I've worked with Gene for two major projects now. First was our kitchen reno back in 2015. He designed everything and coordinated all the contractors, and acted as project manager throughout the whole thing. He was very meticulous and demanded perfection from the contractors. I'm sure the contractors were not happy with him, but as clients it was great to have someone advocating for us and making sure no corners were cut. The second project was a full exterior stucco replacement + porch and deck build + new windows. We did this one in 2017. Again, Gene coordinated everything with the contractors, handled all the city permits etc., and basically made the whole process as painless as possible for us. I love his sense of design, and I actually learned a lot about design through working with Gene. Clean lines, symmetry, balance, simplicity...just good design overall.

We have worked with gene on several projects over the last few years. He has always been well prepared and focused on the clients needs. His attention to detail has always proved to impressive. We look forward to working with Gene on custom projects for years to come.

Working with Gene is always a pleasure, we have returned for his services and creative insights for many of our projects. In 2014 he was the lead on designing a full third story addition: he cleverly solved how to maximize space while keeping the project within our budget. We still comment today on how his ideas really did make the results so special! He's knowledgeable, professional, creative and reliable. We think Gene's ability to understand and manipulate detail and concepts, in all stages of the project, is a very special quality, one that has consistently left us very pleased with the client/architect relationship and project results. We highly recommend him.

Gene was exceptionally professional. We were looking for a creative designer to help us build our home in an unusual residential/commercial setting. Gene's design included a floorplan for 2 storey's of residential space which included a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and millwork throughout. His attention to detail and finishes is above and beyond. We were keen on avoiding box store finishes and Gene was very willing to help us secure options within our budget. Gene's knowledge of the construction aspect of the design was key and he was open to being on-site to help throughout the job. I would (and I have) recommend Gene.
