Meyer Design

We worked with both Steve and Jessica and the concepts and ideas they presented were more ideal than we could have imagined. Our goal was to minimize wasted space on the first floor instead of adding on. Almost a complete redesign of the kitchen turned into our dream house. MD design is friendly, creative and responsive. Highly recommend using this power team for your next project!

Steve did an amazing job designing our new home. Steve, Jessie and the entire team made the design process very enjoyable. Steve and Jessie’s creativity gave us so much more than what we expected. If you are looking to design your next home beyond the ordinary I highly recommend Meyer Design, you won’t be disappointed. Bob and Laura Budnik

Meyer design designed a new construction home for us, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Their process was excellent from the very first meeting, and their creativity helped us make our vision a reality. Because they are so good, they are very busy, but the final product is worth the time it takes to go through their process.

I've been able to work with the Meyer team on a number of projects. They do a great job of helping the clients understand how important it is to have a fantastic plan set before diving into a big project. Too often I've worked with architects that offer a quick turn time or low costs only to have clients frustrated with the lack of details spoil the project later. From a business perspective I value that Meyer has a process that they follow. They are not flying by the seat of their pants trying to make each project work. They know what they are doing and what needs to happen to make the project work. Oftentimes when designing a large project clients just want to get to the finish line. From the experience of Meyer they recognize when to hit the pause button, take a deep breath and make the details right the first time. The last thing I'll say is that they know what it takes to get a permit approved. Each city or municipality has different rules. It is confusing to many and frustrating to all. Meyer knows the rules, understands what is required and gets the job done and the permit approved.

Great experience with Meyer Design! We are so happy with our spaces, they imagined what we could not. They are highly functional and beautiful!

We hired Meyer Design to create the plans for our new home. Steve and Jessie were wonderful to work with helped us design a home that is perfect for our family and how we live. They really took the time to listen to our wants/needs and came up with creative and innovative ways to construct our home while being mindful of our budget. We have been in our home for over a year now and can honestly say that we would not change a single thing. Building a home can be a very exciting process but can also be a very overwhelming process with many decisions to make. Steve and Jessie were available to answer any questions and alleviate any concerns throughout the process. Their knowledge and expertise are second to none and will help guide you to a new home that you will absolutely love!

Meyer Design helped make what could've been a very overwhelming process enjoyable! We were lucky to work with Steve and Jessie! They helped bring our thoughts and ideas to life. There were so many things where we didn't even know where to begin but the team helped guide us through and made sure we were aware of the pros/cons of each vision. Our neighbors have all shared how beautiful the design of our house is and we have Meyer Design to thank for that! I highly recommend Meyer Design to all and will continue to call on them for any design and architecture needs!

Steve Meyer and his team are total pros. We lived out of state during the time we worked with Steve in designing our home and he was very flexible in meeting our schedules. He was also very flexible in using our input in some key design considerations and brought his wealth of knowledge and expertise into the final product. We could not be happier with the outcome of our beautiful home and would strongly recommend Meyer Design to others.

Both Steve and Jessie have been amazing from start to finish. They have helped me with a unique project involving moving a historic house in Geneva, Illinois to a vacant lot that I own. They have worked efficiently, have been excellent about communication, and have always treated me with respect. They really know everything there is to know about architecture, and appreciate historic structures as well. Their charges have been extremely reasonable, and the quality of their work has been superb. I give them the highest possible recommendation, and will continue to work with them in the future.

Meyer Design was a wonderful asset to our project. Thanks to them we will have the house we always dreamed of that works for our lifestyle.

We had a great experience with Meyer Design. Steve’s vision for our house exceeded our expectations. He was able to incorporate all of our requests into the plan, and come up with innovative ways to do it. It was a very pleasant experience working with Steve and Jessie. Highly recommend the team at Meyer Design!

We have been so pleased with Meyer Design we have worked with them on two houses in the last five years. Steve stresses the importance of really understanding his clients and how they truly live while designing a home. He captured the character we desired perfectly and we continue to be amazed with our new home. He was very patient with us as we strove to build the best house possible within our budget and took the time to explain the pros and cons of things we were contemplating. He was also available throughout the build process to answer questions for us and our builder. In short, I can't imagine considering working with another architect or designer on any future project!

Steve Meyer is exceptional to work with. He is a fantastic listener and has the ability to convert our vision into reality. Our home designed by Steve not only looks beautiful, it flows perfectly. The natural light in every room is phenomenal! The process was so stress free because of Steve. We felt very comfortably going to him with any questions or concerns. He knows our area well and made sure the detail to our home was unlike any others. We wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

What a GREAT Farmhouse in Kentucky! That's EXACTLY the kind of house that I want...and what a great location!

Steve Meyer & his team have been fabulous to work with. Being new to this area, we needed assistance with keeping our new home on trend for the area yet maintaining the ideas we really love from our old home we built in another state. Steve was integral in guiding us towards a positive resolution. He has designed what we think we be a very beautiful & functional home for our family. We cannot wait to get moved in.

Steve Meyer is a very intelligent and professional architect. While working with Steve he was very attentive to our thoughts and how we wanted to live in our space. His designs reflected our vision perfectly and he met every single deadline. We would not hesitate to recommend his design services. Working with Steve and his entire staff was a very pleasant experience!

We are currently watching Steve's design come to life, and couldn't be happier with it! He was a pleasure to work with, took all our ideas to heart, and created the home of our dreams! We had some ideas that he was more than willing to include, but that he encouraged us to think twice about for one reason or another, and he ended up being spot-on every time. His staff was attentive and friendly. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Meyer Design!

The Meyer Design team did a great job designing our home. They were a pleasure to work with and we ended up with exactly what we wanted.

Working with Meyer Design was a complete pleasure. The constraints of our in-town lot were met with a creative solution that focused on both the functional requirements and design aesthetic that we were searching for. The collaborative mindset provided by Steve and his team allowed us to fast track our project resulting in a home that combined an innovative interior plan with a traditional exterior that neatly nestled into an existing neighborhood.

Steve was our architect hired to design our dream home. He and his team were thoughtful and considerate of our needs but still "thought outside the box" in giving us functional yet design conscious ideas. There is no else who could have created a better home for us!

Steve did a great job listening to everything that I wanted in my dream home and making all of my wishes come true! We love our new home and it all started with Steve Meyer Design!

Great architect and team! We completely switched our completed plans after we changed our minds. The team pleasantly worked with us til we got it right... No complaints. Highly recommend Steve, he listened to all our needs and delivered on all of them with a specific square footage in mind. The use of space is brilliant! Couldn't be happier.

Steve and the Meyer Design team have been working directly with us for over 10 years and have continued to produce innovative and unique designs for our clients. Their creativeness and approachable process make an intimidating process easy and fun and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a complete design experience.

Steve Meyer has helped us to design two homes and we couldn't have been more pleased. He is a tremendous architect, with a great attention to detail, incredibly innovative and a great listener. He was able to understand our vision and translate it perfectly into a beautiful home. One of the unique features of Steve's designs are the rooflines and ceilings that he is able to produce. Each room in the house can have a unique ceiling which makes the home individual and so custom. We highly recommend Steve for his exceptional work, friendly attitude and his ability to translate one's ideas into print in such a unique and remarkable way.

Complete remodeling of a 30,000 sq. ft. professional business building. From the planning stage all the through to completeion, they were fantastic to work with. Always prepared with options and when the plans were complete, the work was outstanding. People today, still compliment the location on how it looks!

When my husband and I first made the decision to build new construction in Naperville, we found ourselves picking out all the Lakewest Builders houses as our favorites. Not only because we'd heard Lakewest was the best rated builder in town, but also because these were the houses where we felt "the architecture made sense" for day to day family life. Turns out that the "sense" behind all these coherent and attractive houses comes from Meyer Design. We had toured dozens of houses in our price range that had every trendy and expensive finish in the book, but still featured awkward floor plans and a mishmash of competing design elements. We showed up to the first meeting with a multipage list of architectural "Loves" and "Hates" as well as some pretty fussy requirements for day to day functionality. When Steve Meyer came back with his preliminary set of drawings a few weeks later I was so surprised and happy. There it all was, every concern addressed in a way that made sense, both for us now and later for resale. We've also had great success bouncing ideas off of Jessie Otte as well, as we refine the look of the house with the help of our builder. It's a great team, I recommend Meyer Design highly.

We built a house with Meyer design and the design process was comprehensive and always attentive to our desires. The 3-D images and videos were perfect to avoid costly design changes. Saved a lot of money in the whole process. Great team and have already used them again for other projects.

We collaborated with Meyer Design for the interior design/decoration of a beautiful new home designed by their firm. They were consistently helpful providing us with floor plans, details and very knowledgeable, which helped us immensely when making field changes. Their help was crucial to provide the client with the best interior possible. They were always very professional and went out of their way to work on this project. They helped us meet deadlines and stay on budget. The home was (grand total) over 8,000 square feet that included a full finished basement.
