“Chris had some really great ideas for our home remodel. She got me thinking outside the box. She is very easy to work with. I would use her again!”

“My husband and I are working with Jon to design our forever home. We are about 90 percent through design development. Jon has been great throughout the process. I really feel like we’re a team and he’s been able to develop our ideas into a home that fulfills all our needs and embodies our values and aesthetics. We want a home that is healthy and functional but not oversized. Jon is very knowledgeable about healthy building materials and was able to design within our principles and I feel we have everything we need and more. The design is efficient and every inch is intentional. I am so happy with our plan so far and highly recommend Jon. He’s professional, creative, and incredibly detail-oriented.”

“We worked with Paul on an addition and complete internal re-do - bigger kitchen, bigger master bedroom. Paul is a good listener, honest, and genuine person. We ended up buying a house and he refunded the unused portion of our "retainer". From the beginning he is comfortable to work with and what he says, he does. I kind of hate to have found a house because I know he'd work wonders.”

“When we hired David Lund to design our kitchen, new bathroom and new mudroom, we weren't sure what to expect. We had never undertaken such a large remodeling project before and we were overwhelmed with getting the layout exactly right and incorporating all the "little extras" we wanted in our dream kitchen. David took a pile of tear sheets that we'd saved, listened intently to our desires and concerns, and came back with plans that were so complete that even our contractor commented they were the best plans he'd ever worked with. What's more, David's suggestions for design picks completely changed the way we think about making choices for our home. He opened our eyes to options (hello, green penny tile!) that we would have never considered, and made us become better home decorators. He also retained the integrity of our nearly 100-year-old home by making countless choices that are consistent with its design period. When the project was complete it was not only exactly what we wanted, but was also filled with details we didn't know we wanted until he put them into place. We have a lot of envious friends.”

“Jeff designed a new residential home with us in 2012. He worked with us to create our dream home and did a wonderful job listening to us to bring our vision to life.”

“We just completed construction on our new home in the White Bear Lake, MN area. We had been looking for a tear down opportunity on a nearby lake for a couple years, and when a property presented itself, we quickly sprung into action. We have identified our builders in advance (Sustainable9) and based on our vision for the home, they introduced us to Unfold Architecture. Their previous projects, both out West and here in MN, fit the mountain modern/Minnesota modern style we were seeking. From the get go, the team at Unfold were amazing partners. Through conversations and inspiration photos we shared on Houzz, they took our long wish list (maximized lake views, lower level walkout, modern but welcoming, mid-century influences) and designed the perfect house. Their houses are striking architecturally but also extremely livable and functional. They use state of the art CAD models to help you envision what the home would look like. It’s remarkable how close the house turned out in respect to the early renderings. And throughout the process, they were collaborative partners, incorporating feedback from both us and our builders, presenting us initially with several options and then honing in on our chosen design. We could not be more pleased with the process (even in the midst of Covid challenges) or the end result, which is truly the dream home we envisioned.”

“Jackie was great and helped us through a very challenging project. Our remodel is amazing and we've got lots of comments on the design.”

“Thus far, Stacy Dennis Designs, has given me a beautiful idea of what we could do with our home. Stacy's style and architectural eye has surpassed our expectations and we are thrilled to have her and her team work on several projects with us. On top of the professional knowledge we were looking for in a designer, Stacy also has phenomenal people skills where she has been able to match our speed and really dig deep into who we are and what were looking for. For that, we appreciate Stacy Dennis Designs because based on previous experience, not all companies are able to provide an all around wonderful experience and this company has done just that. We would highly recommend Stacy Dennis Designs and look forward to seeing several more projects this company completes!”

“Jim has provided us with a professional and well-thought out design plan for our new home. He listened to us about the kind of home we wanted and was able to translate that into a space that is both pleasing to look at and will fit our needs as we enter our retirement years. Jim has created design elements that make our home unique. He designed a custom valance system, using his knowledge of lighting and wood-working. He designed the pattern of exterior siding that is both creative and contemporary. Both of these while keeping in mind our particular budget and material specifications. Nancekivell Design has used our ideas about the way we want to live together to create a space that is comfortable, contemporary, and beautiful.”
