“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“As a structural engineer, I've worked on many projects with the Balcones team. Their attention to detail & thoughtful coordination have made them a pleasure to work with. I believe owners & owner's reps will appreciate their quality customer service and attention to detail as well. I highly recommend them.”

“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.”

“How fortunate we were to have Ignacio Salas-Humara as our architect! He worked closely with us and our builder throughout the process to insure that the integrity of his conceptual design was realized. Ignacio chose low maintenance contemporary building materials and techniques to give us a unique design that took full advantage of the views afforded by the site. He is very accommodating to our likes and needs regarding interior design issues of which he is also very adept. Ignacio worked tirelessly to locate alternative acceptable products and solutions to help keep us within our budget. His positive, friendly, and accommodating personal demeanor has made the project fun and exciting for us. He has made our dream house come true. " The Goat Sheds" home project pays homage to a way of life that supported our family for generations.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I would highly recommend Neel. After interviewing a handful of Austin architects, yy husband and I hired Neel (out of WImberley, TX) to help us draw plans for a small bunkhouse (~1500 sq. ft) on some property we own in the Texas hill country. We wanted to use an ICF product for the house and Neel is very well versed in drawing plans using ICF (Insulated concrete forms). The product produces a home that is not only incredibly energy efficient, the walls are over 12" thick and give a fortress like feel within a small space. The house has blown us away. Neel took a small footprint and created a truly unique space that flows so well it feels twice as big as the plans indicate. The ceilings soar close to 20 feet and he has truly gone the extra mile to help source some beautiful timbers for us to use for the ceiling, beams and porches. His involvement throughout the whole project has helped us stay on schedule and budget. It is evident that he takes great pride in his work and sees our bunkhouse as a work of art (which it is). We are so pleased and will post pictures of the entire project soon.”
