“Departure came out to our property after the 2013 Build-It-Green tour and talked to us about potential of building an ADU. A year later, we decided to move forward with building an ADU and again, contacted Dan Lajoie. He came out to our property with the notes and ideas discussed the previous year and was willing to spend a long time discussing our hopes for our ADU. He was able to take our ideas and create a beautiful space that works perfectly for us and our property. Throughout the beginning of the process Dan was available to answer our questions, he spent time sharing pictures and showing us ideas as well as meeting with us regularly to look at his progress. He always took our perspective into account and reworked some of the drafts to ensure we were getting what we wanted; but he also had fantastic ideas that we had not thought of and did a great job inserting his personal character into the project. Overall, we have been really impressed with Dan's patience and his ability to turn a small space into something so functional and beautiful.”

“Bucca has been great to work with. I appreciate the follow up, communication and attention to detail he has dedicated to my project.”

“Nick has been a pleasure to work with at every step of the process. Not only does he have great taste and obvious expertise, but he's also been incredibly patient as we work through our priorities for our house. Most importantly, he's 100% transparent about his role and the process—we have complete faith in Nick and would work with him again and again (if we ever have the opportunity to build another house).”

“I have worked with Neal Huston and Associates many times for both commercial and residential projects, as an owner (end consumer) and as a third-party general contractor. NHA's work is timely, relevant, and cognizant of the client's needs and wants. I would highly recommend Neal Huston and Associates for any commercial or residential design.”

“Tom was hired to design our home, develop construction documents and construction administration. Tom worked with us consistently throughout the whole process. He was always available for consultations on very short notice. He sited the house perfectly on the property so we have fabulous views out almost every window. He also quickly found solutions for a few small problems encountered during the construction phase. Overall, he was great to work with, both personable and professional. He created a beautiful and very liveable home for us that we will enjoy for a long time to come.”

“My husband and I worked with HD Architecture to design and help build our retirement dream home. The project came with some challenges, in that we had a long list of must haves, a limited budget, and we, the homeowners, were 2,200 miles away from the home site for most of the project. I knew after meeting Gary Holbrook for the first time that he was the right architect for our job. In fact, we didn't interview anyone else, because his skill set and demeanor were such a good fit for our project. The residential design process is a great exercise and really makes you think about how you live and what you need and want. And what you think you need but don't. It is imperative that you trust and respect your architect. We were so fortunate to have that relationship with HD Architecture. Gary is a great listener and brings experience and expertise to the project that I know will serve us well as long as we live in our new home. HDA is a full-service firm, meaning Gary will work with you from the start of the design until building completion. That was imperative for us since we were building long-distance. It became evident shortly after construction began that Gary is also very skilled in the field and highly knowledgeable about construction. He also worked well with our builder, helping solve problem issues, while respecting our budget and looking out for our interests. Our new home has been a long-time dream, and, quite simply, we couldn't have realized it without him. I highly recommend the services of HD Architecture, Bend, Oregon.”

“We hired Erik Oldham to design our custom home in 2012. This was our third custom home and we interviewed several architects with some clarity concerning our needs. We liked the house drawings on his website and were encouraged by his Yale education, but the singular aspect of Erik, which sold us, was his capacity to listen. In a very short period of time, he had determined the scope of our interests and with 3-D interactive imagery, was able to guide us to refine and complete our design. He was able to show us pictures that captured the style of what we liked. Erik differed from the other architects we have worked with, in that he has a background in Fine Arts and an interest in how the interior design and decor will fit. We provided him with the measurements of the furniture, which we wanted to keep, and he made the house fit around them. Erik was proactive throughout the building process and interacted with the builder and subs to clarify and explain what he intended. He also provided the most detailed and exact drawings we had ever seen. This included framing details for every complex joint or change. Erik also helped us with the colors and details for the interior and we have been very happy with them. We are happy to recommend Erik Oldham.”

We eagerly recommend Tozer Design to all of our clients and will continue to do so.”
