Lindy Small Architecture

Lindy was just a perfect match for my clean, modern aesthetic. She was a pleasure to work with, a good listener, and very professional. My project far exceeded my expectations on all accounts. I give Lindy the very highest recommendation possible.

Lindy was the best architect we could have hoped for - her design of own home far exceeded what we thought would have been possible. She responded to all our requirements, and her creative thought process and execution of the design has made our house one that we absolutely love. Lindy was a pleasure to work with, professional, and one of the most talented people I know.

Lindy is great to work with. She is practical and comes up with great solutions for best utilization of the space that we would not have thought of ourselves. She has been very helpful during the project and when issues come up during construction, she jumps on them quickly to not hold things up. I think that Lindy's process is very good so I recommend that people that hire her follow that process. It ensures that you will be happy with the result.

Lindy is one of the best modern architects I know. Beautiful elegant designs. Lots of thoughtful detail. She is equally capable in both single room remodels as well as designing a house from the ground up. And, she is great to work with. Good listener and turns clients into friends.

Designed a new residence from scratch in 2002-2003. Designed a guest suite addition in 2011. Very clean, contemporary aesthetic. Great spatial sense. Spatially efficient. Very open to client participation in the design process. Created multiple alternative sketch designs of basic program for client review and discussion. Creative/innovative solutions to design challenges. Focused and fast. Tight attention to detail. Cost conscious. Firm, but cooperative with contractor and subs. Stayed on top of the project throughout the cycle.

Lindy Small has twice provided residential design services for us. We were so impressed with her ideas, guidance and execution of our kitchen/family room/dining room/guest bathroom remodeling project 10 years ago that we asked if she would work with us again on a master bedroom/bathroom remodel last year. Lindy's design aesthetic really resonates with us, and we would happily ask her to finish the house if we could! Both projects surpassed our expectations and we are thoroughly enjoying living in our new spaces. Lindy is also very selective in finding the right contractors for her projects. They need to be as aesthetically driven as she is in order to deliver the quality and craftsmanship her design demands. If the contractor comes recommended by Lindy, you know you're in good hands. Lindy stays on top of her projects and keeps them moving along. She is a wonderful person, in addition to being an inspired designer. Anecdotally - my husband, a commercial and academic institutions architect, readily acknowledges that Lindy is the best at what she does. Highly recommend Lindy.

Lindy's designs start with a remarkable attentiveness to the clients' needs that spins into innovative and executable architecture. Rarely do we builders get to team up with someone whose ability to visualize a beautiful end product can be translated so easily into a set of building plans. Lindy's respectful of the building team and honors her clients' wishes while arguing for the art that will be the home she envisions.

Lindy designed our home for us in 2004 and we liked working with her so much that we hired her again to do an addition to our house when we realized we needed another bedroom/bath. Lindy was easy to work with, listened to what we wanted, what we needed, then added her great creativity and practicality to design our beautiful contemporary home. I had a hard time picturing what the spaces would look like seeing just two dimentional drawings so Lindy made quick paper models allowing me to get a real feel for the house before we proceeded. She has a great sense of humor. We enjoyed working with her very much. Thank you, Lindy, for a lovely, livable space.

Lindy Small designed a beautiful "small" house for me that is currently (as of June 2014) under construction. Throughout the process she has provided me with the very best service, everything from the creativity of her design to her exacting attention to detail. We are using a lot of new technology in this house, and Lindy has been most willing to explore the possibilities and practicalities of everything I have asked for. She has attacked every obstacle presented by my design criteria, by the scope of the project, by city building and planning, and by the terrain and the topology of the building site with cheerful enthusiasm. I told her from the beginning that I would be very hands-on during this project, and she has never resented or otherwise objected to my involvement in every aspect of design and detail. In fact, her eagerness to listen and share has turned our professional collaboration into a wonderfully pleasant experience. She also suggested several consultants and a contractor with whom she had worked before and who share her high standards, and that too has made the project go more smoothly. Besides her professional credentials and experience, Lindy is creative and communicative. It's a good combination in an architect.
