We worked with Strand Design in the design of our new home in St Paul. They were terrific. From the initial concept design, through the creation of the building plans and right up to completion of the project, they remained engaged, enthusiastic and responsive. AND, we are thrilled with the outcome! I recommend them without reservation.

We worked with Strand Design to develop a cabin for a lake lot we have in Wisconsin. We wanted something that was clearly a cabin but with a very modern architecture. They proposed a modern rendition of the classic A-Frame cabin. This is not your grandfather's A-frame, it is very spacious and modern with very clean lines. We are very happy with the design and everybody who has seen it is impressed with the architecture. Strand Design was very easy to work with, listened to our needs, understood our lifestyle and delivered a gem.

Amazing attention to detail, creative, professional and easy to work with--I would highly recommend David and his team. David met and exceeded my expectations in the design of our house from the thoughtfulness given to the overall scope of the project down to the selection of materials. His aesthetic is uniquely beautiful.

David and his team were great to work with! They were very professional and gave the utmost attention to details, which translated into a beautiful and functional space. David also made sure to stay within my budget while still meeting all my desires and more. The team was also very meticulous and organized. David has a great eye and creates gorgeous designs. Cream of the crop by far.
