studioSTL, Inc.

STUDIO STL was professional, personable, timely and created a beautiful design that we used that we would not have thought of. We would never hire an architect other than Simon Little.

Our project was/is a 1915 two-story house with a full, unfinished basement. The basement & foundation were new-ish and solid. The main floor was cut up into multiple small spaces with a horrible old kitchen. We hired Simon Little (and StudioSTL) to redesign the space turning the full, unfinished basement into a Weaving studio for my wife including a utility space, a commode and a guest bedroom and to re-design the main floor by into a large open space, a bedroom and add interior stairs to the new studio. Simon created an excellent design that took our limited budget into account, and organized the house around its best assets ( i.e. the lovely view of Admiralty Inlet and Mt Baker to the east.) Simon's work was timely and organized and sensitive to our absolute lack of remodeling experience. He included our contractor in design meetings and brought in someone for the heavy lifting (engineer) when we were wanting support walls moved or shifted. The concern for safety was welcome. Simon also walked us smoothly through the permitting process. The first half of the project is 97% done and the next half is beginning. Thus far the planning and preparation provided by StudioSTL has been spot on. Many thanks to Simon Little for his good work on our behalf.

Simon Little (Studio STL) is the architect we chose for our remodel. We didn’t come to him with a simple project, either – it’s the comprehensive remodel of a 3,200 square foot barn-style building we’re converting to a beautiful, single family residence. The previous owners were going in a remodel direction we felt didn’t suit the house or its location. Simon’s design gives our house the functionality and style it was lacking. It isn’t often you find an architect with his level of creativity balanced with budget-conscious judgment. Furthermore, as professional tradespeople ourselves, we’ve had the opportunity to work off several of his designs – each has been an accurate, creative set of plans (and beautiful!). He’s very professional and timely in all his correspondence. All around, Simon is a pleasure to work with.
