Four Square Design Studio

We started working with Andrew at Four Square almost 2 years ago with a plan to renovate, add on and build a detached apartment garage at our 1940s Sylvan park home. After doing some thorough inspections, speaking with contractors and reassessing we decided to start over and build from scratch. Andrew never skipped a beat and shared his valuable insights along the way which helped a very, let’s call it open client, start to pin down and make some decisions. A few things I loved about working with Andrew were that it seemed at times he was pulling the ideas right out of my head, his intuitive design felt like home every step of the way. It was important to me the the design was an efficient use of space, materials and the design flowed well. I can tell you we fit more into 2900 sq feet than the 100 and 100s of stock plans I looked at previously with room to grow. Bathrooms from the 2nd floor stacked nicely on those below to cut down on plumbing work, generous storage, so many bells and whistles I wouldn’t have thought about in this amount of square footage. He also was thoughtful about maximizing our existing lot and backyard. I was grateful for his professionalism, clear/concise communication, patience and creativity. The house he designed for us was better than I could have dreamed of! I would highly recommend working with them and can’t wait to share the finished project!

Brad was so easy to work with and was extremely helpful in designing our dream home! He was very patient as we were forced to make many changes during the process. Highly recommended!

I've worked with Brad Sayers for over 15 years. Brad's plans are highly detailed and the kind that I, as a contractor, prefer when building a new home. Brad never complains about making modifications and he continually adjusts to my needs. Four Square Design Studio is my go to firm for design.

We worked with Brad on our renovation/addition project. He was always professional and courteous and helped transform a 1960s closed-off ranch home into an open and spacious forever home for our family. Highly recommend him!

Matthew designed my home in 2008 and I couldn't have asked for more from an architect. He listened to my ideas of what I wanted and helped me make decisions that stayed true to the craftsman style I loved. He is very detail oriented and has unique ideas and design that makes my house stand out from the average cookie cutter home. I can't tell you the number of compliments that I have gotten. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his work.

Matt Smith provides a freshness to time proven ideas by consistently applying practical , yet whimsical, design that is sensitive to sound design pinciples. He never fails to add new interest and beauty to any space or structure with which he is involved.

Matt designed our house several years ago - he did an awesome job - he spent a lot of time on the front end listening to what we were looking for (and looking at our bulging clippings folder), coming up with several options for us to choose from, and working with our builder. Everything stayed on budget and within our time frame. I would definitely recommend him.
