“MSA San Antonio, provided architectural services for my new home. They are a very capable provider. I have 20 years experience as a custom home builder, but this was my first experience with MSA. The pre-plan meetings with my family were very well handled. The final product and followup was very professional. I couldn't be happier with the home.”

“I have worked with Steve on multiple projects over the years in both New York and Nantucket MA. It is always a great experience working with him so I keep seeking him out for advice and assistance on whatever project I have. It started with an apartment renovation in NY based upon a recommendation from a seller who decided not to sell her apartment that I loved. He did a makeover on the apartment I later bought which had already been improved but not in my style. We added built-ins throughout, refinished floors, refaced cabinets, chose paint colors, and all furnishings in a style that felt uniquely my own. He had an excellent way of learning what I like and do not like and made the process for me very efficient because I almost always loved at least one of the options he presented to me for furnishings, curtains, carpets etc. Later we did a bathroom renovation which is a jewel box and very unique. A few years later he took a one day turn around trip with me to Nantucket to scope out my new beach house and came up with a very clever strategy for access to a second floor loft previously served by a ladder. This added tremendous utility to the space. He designed the new kitchen as well. He designed a brand new much expanded deck, and subsequently an outbuilding along the lines of a tiny house. I love working with Steve and hope to have more projects in future that we can work on together. Highly recommend!”

“ZDB never let me down, and they never gave up to their commitment. They also never turned around in the middle of our project and gave me any unnecessary invoice. I'm no stranger to architects, they know the rules, and so do I. I wouldn't have been satisfied by anyone other than ZDB.”

“Great customer service and responds to questions and calls very quickly. Love their 3D renderings. They really helped me visualize what our custom home will look like. Visits sites too.”

“Lex has a high degree of knowledge with structural and engineering aspects of design, so important for integrity of the project but also greatly streamlined the print review and permitting process. Lex also offers an amazing level of architectural design and detail that create a unique and blended project with the existing home. One would be hard pressed to find an architect with Lex's level of expertise, knowledge of architectural elements, along with such an amiable and pleasant attitude. Lex listened well to my ideas and wants, and did an amazing job of designing and incorporating my vision into his amazing vision. Couldn't be happier.”

“Bill was very professional, prompt with changes, and knowledgeable. We found his insights to be helpful and him to be very easy to work with. Great service at a great price.”

“Michael Imber is quite simply one of my favorite architects. Michael's work has a perfect balance of beauty and utility, as anyone who reviews the body of work shown here can see. His projects convey a thoughtful consideration of the traditions and spirit of the particular locale, as well as careful attention to the lives and aspirations of his clients. Michael is a warm and intelligent man, and he and his talented staff are supremely capable. I'm certain that any client lucky enough to be working with Michael G. Imber Architects will enjoy the process and will be very pleased with the results.”

“We hired Agruppo to design this addition for our home. Andrew listened, engaged us in dialogue and pushed us to imagine the best design and usage for our needs. We could not be happier with the entire process and, of course, the final product- our amazing sleeping house! We came in with ideas and Andrew added his magic and turned our dreams into a fantastic reality. Agruppo designed the entire project and also oversaw the construction phase. What we appreciated most was his honestly and attention to detail. Just as impressive was his directness during construction when things (as is the norm during construction) didn't always go as planned and the fact that he kept us within our budget. We would recommend Andrew and his team to any family expecting a first class design plan from a firm who is honest, loyal and ready and able to put in the hard work and time needed to complete a project that exceeds expectations. -Celina & Bernhard Bley”

“I've been working with JMS for the past 4 years since I started working for a custom builder as an interior designer, and I've enjoyed the process of seeing the creation of architecture that I haven't seen a match to it in San Antonio yet. The entire team is very professional, very patient and above all very creative. Just recently, I became a lucky owner of a home that the architecture of it was designed by JMS, and I'm loving it!!!”

“Patient, Creative & Responsive. Working with Jim has been a real pleasure. He was able to turn our conflicting (what he wants vs. what she wanted) statements into a GREAT Floorplan that we're both really excited to build now.”
