“Working with Sora Design has been a great experience. We hope to work with them on other future projects.”

“I have had two separate projects with Sasquatch architecture and both came in under budget and on time. Kris is very responsive and provides excellent suggestions throughout the development of the project.”

“Mike Blondino was great to work with! He ensures that your house is exactly what you're looking for and is truly invested in his designs. He does phenomenal work and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to design a house.”

“It has been a great experience working with Matt, I have called him with big and small questions throughout the process and he has either been able to answer them on the spot or quickly get back to me with a response. He was able to fit everything I hoped for into my 700sq/ft garage/ADU project and I am excited to see it come to life!”

“We're really enjoying working with the Giulietti/Schouten team designing our new beach home. When we were searching for an architect, we looked at portfolios from many firms and were struck by the breadth and creativity of their work. The combination of artistry, creativity, flexibility, practicality, and attention to detail they bring to their work is really impressive, and has resulted in a design much better than we envisioned. It's particularly impressive when the complicated site and extreme environment of our oceanfront setting are taken into account. We're very happy with the project and feel fortunate to have found this great group of people to work with! Follow-on now that the project is finished: Our home turned out beautifully. They were extremely helpful during the construction phase, helping us with the multitude of decisions and working with our builder to assure every detail was as it was envisioned. We were really lucky to have their team to work with! We give them our highest recommendation.”

“If you’re looking for a very personable and enjoyable design process for your next home, look no further. After moving from out of state, we had purchased a view lot in a newly developed gated community and driving through one weekend, we stopped and talked to a neighbor who was working in their yard about their beautiful home and they recommended that we call the designer and gave us the number to Summit Ridge. We had talked to two others designers beforehand but after meeting with all three, there was no question who we wanted to work with and we couldn't be happier. The design of our home not only fits our new northwest lifestyle but its entire design was created around us. Each room was carefully planned out and is a reflection of our lifestyle. Highly recommended.”

“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.”

“We have worked with Equine Facility Design for more than a decade and are continually amazed at the innovative and exceptional designs we have had the pleasure of being able to collaborate with them. It is always a pleasure to work with Matt and his excellent staff. The attention to detail during design and coordination between various disciplines is a key to their many project successes. – Travis McFeron, Peterson Structural Engineers”

“We highly recommend working with Matt and Angela for your next project. We hired them to do a complete remodel of the kitchen in the cosmetic fixer we had just purchased. This house has all the bones—solid everything—but it needs just about every inch upgraded for style and comfort. We started with the kitchen and first floor to make it comfortable enough to move in. It was a big project, but these two made it easy. Not only were they professional, enthusiastic, and very talented, but they were encouraging (while remaining completely professional) when things got tough with our not-so-great contractor. They listened very well to our needs, stayed right in line with our design aesthetic yet seamlessly took it to the next level. They honored our greatest wishes and desires while highly elevating anything we could have dreamed up on our own and did so with our budget top of mind. Their ideas were innovative, fresh, and inspired. They weren't afraid to change course when needed and make suggestions and changes that we would have never otherwise considered and that have completely created the foundation of character for our new home. We went from having a tight, stuffy, ugly, crappy, and clunky kitchen and livingroom; to having a bright, open, modern, inviting, and sophisticated home. They told us in the beginning that they would get excited with us and for us throughout this project–that got us very interested because we have worked on several other projects with other teams where things started going awry and the stress elevated. These guys only took away from the stress, staying on track and enthusiastic throughout, just like they said they would. Everything was delivered professionally and on time. They exceeded our expectations at every turn and we have our dream kitchen and living room to show for it. We cannot wait to work with them again.”

“Richard and his staff were a pleasure to deal with. He was able, after some mild beatings, to assimilate our ideas and add his own to create a very useful amalgam. We still enjoy his input and appreciation of space. Our error was failing to hire him to supervise construction, in addition to designing the building.”
