“Departure came out to our property after the 2013 Build-It-Green tour and talked to us about potential of building an ADU. A year later, we decided to move forward with building an ADU and again, contacted Dan Lajoie. He came out to our property with the notes and ideas discussed the previous year and was willing to spend a long time discussing our hopes for our ADU. He was able to take our ideas and create a beautiful space that works perfectly for us and our property. Throughout the beginning of the process Dan was available to answer our questions, he spent time sharing pictures and showing us ideas as well as meeting with us regularly to look at his progress. He always took our perspective into account and reworked some of the drafts to ensure we were getting what we wanted; but he also had fantastic ideas that we had not thought of and did a great job inserting his personal character into the project. Overall, we have been really impressed with Dan's patience and his ability to turn a small space into something so functional and beautiful.”

“I have used this company multiple times for single family and multifamily builds. They are very responsive and work/communicate in flexible hours that work around their clients (in this case my) timeline/availability. Highly recommend for your arch/planning needs.”

“The best way I can describe my experience with MD Architect has been nothing short of excellent. In my time with doing business with them they have always been so nice and never fail to show the perfect display of integrity. I highly recommend their services! :)”

“I connected with John to help restore our newly-purchased 1967 single-floor ranch cottage in Portland, OR. Even during our first interaction, John had a calm, approachable demeanor, and listen thoroughly to my design ideas. He followed through on listening with strong visualization through 3D renderings that made me feel as if I was standing in my home, before we even began construction. His realistic renderings helped us make some necessary design changes to improve the flow of the layout before investing in construction, which ended up being a massive cost-saving for us. Throughout the schematic design, design development, and construction documents phases, John had fantastic communication and was on time, even early, with his deliverables. We will 1000% utilize spacehouse's services again for our next home design project!”

“Architectural design and structural working drawings. Site analysis, style research and material selection and recommendations. Designed a custom mid century home for speculative sale.”

“Nathan Good is an excellent architect. He is extremely experienced. He listens well and he explains well. He works well with other professionals because he has a broad understanding of all fields associated with building and remodeling a home and he is an excellent communicator. He has great taste for all styles even though he specializes in green architecture, but it is his judgment, his vision and his wisdom that puts him apart from other architects with whom we have worked. One conversation with Nathan and we knew we had found our guide.”

“My wife and I had planned to build a new home for several years and sought out Jerry DeMarco as a designer. Jerry showed us examples of his work, including a style that we really liked. We were at first concerned about the distance between us, Jerry being located in Oregon and my wife and I located in Northern California, but that concern turned out to be a non-issue. Nearly all of our communication was done via telephone and by emailing plans and specifications between us and his studio. Most evenings during the design process my wife and I would review new design ideas and or changes to previous drawings Jerry sent to us via email. We would then write comments and call Jerry to discuss them and new design ideas he wanted us to consider. Very soon after our on-line and telephone meetings, we would have new drawings via email to review. Jerry visited our site a couple of times to get a feel for it, but the rest of the process was accomplished via those two modes. We had some pretty specific ideas about our floor plan and the exterior look of the new home. Jerry helped us through the design and build process. When the plans were finished, Jerry emailed them to a local print shop who printed them for building permits and construction drawings. He also worked with our contractor with design questions during the construction phase. My wife and I had a great time working with Jerry to create the beautiful design and building our new home. Any new custom home design for us will definitely have Jerry's name in the margin.”

“Leah was phenomenal to work with for our kitchen remodel project. Not only did she capture our vision in her design, but she helped us re-imagine the space in ways that we hadn't previously considered. She is exceptionally professional and we highly recommend her services!”

“Mr. Moon designed a house remodel for my wife and I. We were very pleased with his insight and suggestions and the upgrade of the house.”

“Andreas designed a boathouse garage with apartment above for us 16 years ago. He found a company making insulated panels so building was put together like a gingerbread house with these panels. Very heat efficient. Roof pitch allows for standing height in eves. Kitchen appliances came as one unit made in Canada. Stove with oven, sink, and under counter refrigerator. He worked with us if we had design change. We recommend Andreas highly.”
