“It's rare to find an architect that immediately grasps your clients' vision, especially when they don't know what they want (or need)...often times, it's a process that takes many meetings. Jim was able to work with my clients and create a completely new, unique and wonderfully artful design that transformed an average home into a showcase that will both functional and beautiful. His attention to detail will be evident in every aspect of the home design.”

“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.”

“Alethea is amazing! She was an integral part of the team when we remodeled our entire basement, renovated our kitchen and added a large porch in the front of our home. She was the key person to help select all of the interior selections and after the work was completed, assisted in the interior furnishings as well. We did a second project with her as well. We added a laundry room that is the envy of my neighborhood. She designed and drew up all of the plans and worked well with all of the subs. Many friends have seen her work in my home and have hired her as well- both to help in structural changes as well as interior work. They all have been happy. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is true to her word, very organized and keeps you informed throughout the project. These are rare qualities. I am happy to talk with anyone who has any questions. Thanks!”

“Leigh worked with me when I moved from an antique colonial cape to a large center chimney Federal circa 1780. He drew up a design to finish out some required work on the cape for stairs and cabinets. When I bought the Federal he walked through the home and prepared a plan of attack for making the house more livable for the twenty-first century without destroying the beauty and authentic character of the home. Leigh is able to design for many styles of home in a way that brings out the best of the existing building while providing for the needs of a modern home owner. His work is done professionally and timely. I would not hesitate to work with him again.”

“Mitch is very knowledgeable with both the city codes and as well as the construction standpoint. It amazes me how quickly he can put out quality plans.”

“This is an amazing site. I very much enjoyed the photos of the cabins. Each of the homes are works of art. I know from experience that Stephen meets deadlines and comes close on budgets. Stephen's knowledge enables him to create not only sensible, workable, and creative spaces but also a home that is not only unique but expresses who you are. Stephen is the architectural designer you want.”

“Our project, which took approximately 3 1/2 months from start to completion, included both a kitchen and basement remodel. Anchor Builders recommended that we use Fluidesign for our design work. Fluidesign did the layout and consulted with us on all phases of the project. They were available and helpful at every phase of construction. In addition to producing an excellent floor plan, they assisted with major and minor decisions including selection of appliances, cabinets, lighting fixtures, carpeting, paint colors, etc. All the options available would have been very overwhelming without their help. The design team was always attentive. Shelly and Carrie helped us transfer concepts into reality. They did so by listening to us and offering us choices that reflected our wishes and their excellent taste, We feel very confident in recommending their services to others.”

“I want to start by saying that not only would I use SKD architects again, I would ONLY use them. I tore down and replaced the home I'd lived in for twenty years. Steve Kleineman and I began with a discussion where I described my thoughts for my new home. He came up with a drawing which was close. One meeting later he had designed exactly what I wanted. Steve included the level of detail I desired, and, designed several pieces of furniture for specific spots, each on it's own, a masterpiece. My home is custom, inside and out. You will not see this home anywhere else. He designs for the person. Additionally, there is nothing trendy about his designs. I doubt that fifty years from now anybody will be able to say that this home is "typical" of homes built in the early 2000s. Outside, Steve carried out details from the inside making his plan cohesive and beautiful. He was careful in his design not to hurt existing old trees and was not only respectful of my existing lot, he made the very most of it. I had no idea for the entire first twenty years that I lived in my home that my lot could have the beauty it does today. When building began, Steve worked closely with the builder to insure that my vision was carried out meticulously. It felt as though he was working on his own home, that's how involved and accessible he was. Because of it, my home is perfect. He listened closely to my needs and was easy to get along with. When I made changes, he kept the up-charges to a minimum, in some cases actually reducing the price. Construction on my 5,000 square foot home took less than one year from the day they tore down the old house (not as emotional as I'd have thought to see it go) until moving in to my new warm lovely home; slightly under 11 months to be exact. I have seen larger homes, but never any done with any better attention to detail. It is perfect. Feel free to call if you need additional information about this build, but know that I felt it was as easy and enjoyable as it could possibly have been. The only thing I enjoy more is living here.”

“TreHus has worked with/for Dan on a number of different projects spanning two decades. Dan has a unique ability to see a home or commercial space’s potential while honoring its original character. In the design of the now famous Wild Rumpus bookstore that has captured the imagination of so many young readers, Dan designed a ceiling that looked like it had cracked open, revealing the sky above (really a mural). In a former masonic lodge/business meeting space, he created a room that can function as a basketball court, movie theater or performance space to suit the owners’ varied interests. In a home on Lake Minnetonka, he designed a butterfly roof that pays homage to the home’s original 1960’s architecture and creates a two-story wall of windows, opening up panoramic views of the lake. In other words, he is excellent at thinking out of the box to capture each space’s best possibilities.”

“We have used Randy's talent and abilities on own home remodel and also our business build out. We remodeled our home in 2002 and I am amazed at the number of times I see the "latest trends" appearing in print that he offered to us in 2002. Our business site is appealing to all who enter and the design elements are thoughtfully creative as is his use of color and texture. He is very involved in all aspects of the build and design, which makes the process very streamlined.”
