Louisaの建築家

“After interviewing several architects to design a home for us in Rockbridge Baths, VA, we chose Candace Smith. She totally fulfilled our expectations. She was an active listener as well as a creative collaborator. She was able to blend our ideas for a home with the skill and knowledge needed to develop building plans. The end result is a stunning as well as functional home overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. We met frequently with Candace Smith on the building site and in her office to ensure that the house would meet our expectations which included placing the house in just the right location to maximize the views. Additionally, she joined us in interviewing prospective builders and worked with him throughout the construction process. In sum, Candace is a superb architect and it was wonderful to work with her and her staff.”

“I hired Kendra Guiffre', owner of blueply design, as the architect for my vision of a modern minimalist house built out of the city on 8 acres of land in the country. From the beginning I was impressed with Kendra's professionalism and commitment to the project. Her work ethic was beyond my expectations on every level of the process. Kendra was a team player; always responding positively to any construction issues as the house was being built. There were many meetings in regards to problem solving throughout the entire project. She never failed to be prepared with creative ideas for solutions. She was readily available as well as for required meetings on site. Kendra's creative approach and use of space was astounding and of course added so much to the finished project that added much enjoyment to the practicality of living in the house. Without a doubt if I had another big project like the one she did for me, I would hire her to be on board as part of my team. She is exceptional in client relationships. A job well done with Kendra by my side!”

“In addition to being a very talented designer, Ann excels at really listening and understanding her clients' lifestyle, budget and taste and translating those needs into beautiful form and function. She is a one of kind designer and a real pleasure to work with!”

“Diligent, conscientious, clear. Matt's design was exactly what we wanted and his project leadership gave us great confidence that the project would be completed as expected. And it was!”

“Peter LaBau is a rare Architect in that he has outstanding design sense coupled with an innate knowledge of what is in fact possible from a build-out perspective when it comes to managing towards a budget. Simply said, he does not design in a vacuum with no regard to cost. Peter and I have had the opportunity to work on a whole house renovation project in Boston as well as a build from scratch house project in Park City UT. In both cases I found Peter's work to be outstanding, timely and as I mentioned mindful of budgetary goals. The two projects Peter and I collaborated on were drastically difference in style and location however they both shared one key trait, in a sense both projects were design/build efforts. One as part of his own firm at the time in Boston and the other in conjunction with a Park City builder where we created a virtual design/build shop between Peter's architectural services and our contractors on the ground building capabilities. What has continued to draw me to Peter's architectural services has been his gift for understanding a particular genre of architecture and not injecting unnecessary or unidentifiable traits into the style. He's well honed at keeping a project within a particular genre and can offer a complete vision of what any given project could or should be while being mindful of the clients perspective and recognizing that while he has valuable opinions it is not ultimately he who will occupy the space. Peter also has an amazing gift of visualizing the space while it's on paper and conveying every potential detail to his client vividly both in words and in drawings. I've found that to be of great benefit over the various projects we've worked on together. Above and beyond architecture Peter brings so many valuable skill sets to any project he's engaged in. He's incredibly professional, he's prompt, he's responsive, he's an excellent project manager, he challenges contractors to do things right and he also has extremely high interior design skills as well and was instrumental in things as mundane as color choices, tile selections and layout, fixtures and furniture layout. All in all Peter has proven to be a great architect for me and my family and I look forward to working with him again on another project!”

“Greg went over and above on what seemed like an impossible project... transforming a 1940s 860 ft box into a beautiful farmhouse hidden in the West Virginia hills! More to follow including pictures!”
