ATELIER INC.

We live in Tucson and were looking for a new Miele dishwasher this summer amid Covid 19. I mention Covid because shipments of appliances from the manufacturers have been delayed because of it. Even though Steve Johnson at Miele knew that we lived in Tucson, he graciously provided information and help, even advising me just today about not using any stainless steel cleaner on the Miele G7000 stainless steel models because of their protective coating. He was far more helpful than either of his main competitors and a pleasure to deal with. We sincerely wish we could have purchased the Miele through Atelier and Steve, but delivery and installation 200 miles roundtrip from Scottsdale made the purchase non-competitive. Thank you again, Steve Johnson and Atelier, for your understanding and all your help. It is much appreciated.

Steve Johnson of Atelier designed two separate projects for me. First he created a Mission style kitchen for a historic house in Phoenix which included vaulting a ceiling with complicated angles, and designing oak cabinets which complimented my Stickley furniture. It was the kitchen which made everyone say, "Wow!". He then did a complete remodel in a two-storey townhouse, moving walls, rebuilding a fireplace, changing wall, ceiling and floor surfaces, and installing another amazing kitchen and two bathrooms. He listened to everything I wanted, and used his own creativity to make both projects much better than I could have ever expected.

Steve Johnson at Atelier, Inc has done 3 jobs for me. He did an interior design for my Oregon beach house in the mid 1990's, did the design to combine two condo's into one large unit in a high rise in 2007 and in 2010/2011 he designed a complete remodel of my Chicago loft. Not only is Steve a top not professional, but he REALLY listens to the client's needs and "wants" to incorporate into his design. He is creative, ethical and easy to work with. I was especially impressed by his ability to include maximum storage into my small Chicago loft, while making it still feel bright and airy. Steve is excellent on follow-up; responsive to client questions and input and committed to making sure the client is happy with the end result. I HIGHLY recommend his design services. While located in Scottsdale, AZ., he is available to provide services anywhere int he states/globally. All 3 of my projects were located out of state and they were all completed successfully.

Steve not only designed the awesome kitchen and bathroom remodel, he also did all the drawings and plans for the lighting. His plans for the kitchen were cutting edge modern and functional at the same time. He has such attention to detail and his knowledge of design and function show in even the smallest details. At every step of the way he went above and beyond to be helpful. He even assisted with choosing the colors to paint the entire house. He worked with the cabinet installer on a daily basis to expedite the project. He provided a quality person to install the Poggenpohl cabinets. Steve is a gift to work with and a delight to have in your home. He has made our project fun and drop dead gorgeous!!
