“Jason is a great architect, he helped us a lot to assess our property and gave us useful advice to improve our home floors and basement. Jason Fung was very helpful with creative ideas that adjusted well to our budget.”

“Affecting Spaces did wonders with my main floor renovation. Gillian's attention to detail and professionalism ensured I had a great experience. From concept drawings and plans to renovations and furniture selection, Gillian's quality of work is top notch. I would recommend Affecting spaces to anyone!”

“I hired William Dewson Architects to design a summer cottage in Georgian Bay on a 5 acre island. Our first challenge was to figure out the site plan and where to put the cottage given numerous zoning restrictions and other natural fators. Bill and his team were great to work with throughout the whole process of defining the best site and then brainstorming the design that best suited our family asthetic. Bill's charismatic enthusiasm made our meetings fun and creative, we were all very happy with the end result and thoroughly enjoyed the design experience from start to finish.”

“Very talented and reliable designer. I would highly recommend Peter and Hausworks to anyone looking to design a custom home.”

“Gene was exceptionally professional. We were looking for a creative designer to help us build our home in an unusual residential/commercial setting. Gene's design included a floorplan for 2 storey's of residential space which included a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and millwork throughout. His attention to detail and finishes is above and beyond. We were keen on avoiding box store finishes and Gene was very willing to help us secure options within our budget. Gene's knowledge of the construction aspect of the design was key and he was open to being on-site to help throughout the job. I would (and I have) recommend Gene.”

“Our beautifully renovated second floor never would have happened without Zuzanna of Studio Z Design. I think the most important skill she brought to the project for us was how she guided us through a decision making process that was logical, well-paced and timely. Her excellent drawings showing alternative designs and looks supported that decision making. She managed the tendering professionally, and helped us reconsider some features when estimates came in somewhat higher than we were hoping. During the construction phase, we had the peace of mind knowing that Zuzanna was there to mediate any issues that might arise with the contractor. None did. I would highly recommend her services.”

“We hired Jeff and the STACKLAB team for 2 projects, and they delivered quality workmanship beyond our expectations on both. The first project we commissioned was a custom bar (top shelf). We gave Jeff a very vague idea of what we were looking for, and from there he spun off in a creative direction we never anticipated. The collaboration with other artisans he brought into the project made the custom bar a beautiful piece to behold and one we are happy to display proudly in our home. The thing I love most about it is its clean, linear design and how it appears to float on the wall. The second project was something we had not planned on, however when visiting STACKLAB's studio to discuss the custom bar, we saw some heritage redwood slabs, and decided to commission a desk from one of them (rubaiyat). We knew we wanted the slabs to retain their live edge, so Jeff showed us some design prototypes for legs he was working on. They were the perfect balance of rustic and contemporary design, so we agreed to include them in our project. When the desk was completed, Jeff and team delivered it to the house, only to find that the desk slab was several inches too long to clear the angles of the open staircase. They dutifully hauled the giant 10 foot slab back to their studio to trim an edge slightly and even brought it back the same day! I didn't envy them having to haul that mammoth piece up the stairs twice in one afternoon, but it was done without even the tiniest complaint. It is one of the most talked about pieces when guests visit, and I derive so much joy from seeing it every morning when I pass by. We enjoyed working with STACKLAB so much, that since then I've been trying to think of other projects we can commission for our home.”

“Paige has been wonderful to work with. She redesigned the layout of our small cottage. Definitely get the 3d package - the virtual walkthrough was great for picturing the space.”

“I recently worked on a design build project with Marco. The exterior and interior design layouts he came up with were great. I was very happy that he achieved maximum functionality, a layout that flows and overall beautiful exterior design. All without the need to go to committee of adjustment. This shortened our build time and saved us money. Definitely will work with him on future projects.”

“I am a Commercial contractor and have worked with Reuter Architecture on multiple projects. They are resourceful, and always looking out for their client’s interests. Greg is very creative and comes up with attractive solutions. Highly recommend this firm. I look forward to working with them again!”
