Heritage Building Conservation Services in Lakewood, WA

“I was looking for someone deeply experienced in technical domains, (architecture, construction, and fabrication) to fit the requirements of my custom home, the Galer Street House. Thomas was tasked with production of the interior custom cabinetry and associated custom woodworking. From our first meeting, Thomas’s communication, experience and broad background gave me confidence that he would understand the complex geometries and be able to deliver the high-end quality needed for this application. From the custom handmade walnut cabinets, custom furniture-like features and being always available to help me when the details needed his attention, he delivered. I was not disappointed. In addition, when challenged by architectural details and budget constraints on the exterior of the home, Thomas, owner of Studio Walker Architects, Inc., was able to take a large burden off my shoulders with his durable design/build approach, which was substantially less expensive and also resulted in a better overall appearance. Thanks, Thomas!”

“I have know Jared now for over a decade. He has great attention to detail and communication. I have worked with Jared on a couple of projects now and always enjoy his company. If you are looking for a quality designer then Jared is your man.”

“Andrew helped us file for an Alt-2 permit with the NYC DOB. He also helped us with our co-op board package. His services included initial consultation, measurements, architectural drawings, plumbing plan, statement of work being done, filing of permit (with an expeditor), permit pulling, and other certifications required by our board. Andrew was very responsive and flexible. He was able to set up an initial consultation within 24 hours. He came prepared and measured our apartment during the consultation. We executed the contract and the first payment was made shortly thereafter. Andrew has completed all of the work in his scope and has done an amazing job. Even during the renovation process, he went above and beyond his duties and continued checking in. Andrew has provided an A+ experience and we have already recommended him to a couple of friends. He's a class act and will respond very quickly in a professional and polite manner.”

“Röm Architecture Studio was the brains behind our significant remodel. As an architect myself, I had high standards for both professional service and the design solution. Not currently working in residential, I needed someone who could take my handwaving and concerns and turn them into solutions. Carol Sundstrom listened to our wishes and dreams, and suggested a novel idea. Our initial reaction was to be stunned - she was relocating rooms around the floor plan of the house but in the end, it works just the way we wanted it to. Our remodel was complete a couple of years ago and it is not only a lovely space but it fits our family's lifestyle. Accessibility for wheelchair users was a high priority for us and she accommodated our needs gracefully.”

“Larry is very easy to work with, and has a lot of great ideas and helpful suggestion's. This is a first house that we have started from the ground up and he treated each of our questions with respect even if it wasn't something that could be done. He would then explain why it would or wouldn't work.”

“Andrew designed our remodel/rebuild on Mercer Island - Island House on his website. His insight and attention to detail are unmatched. He beautifully integrated the existing design and structure into a masterpiece view home.”

“WE LOVE OUR HOME: The idea of designing the perfect house is a daunting task. There are dozens of thought and ideas rolling around in your head that have to be captured and translated into a final plan. On top of this, you don’t get the immediate satisfaction from these design ideas due to the many months it takes to turn them into a physical reality. This is where your Architect comes in. Having this magic ability to translate your dreams into an actionable design and then a physical dwelling is a gift. Darren of Coyote design has this gift. We have lived in our home for over 5 years now and I can honestly say I would NOT change a thing! Noting I was spending a few million dollars on my project, you can probably imagine my tensions were high as we started out with an empty lot and blank slate. Very quickly I could see that Darren got it. In no time the process became fun for my wife and I. We were able to bounce ideas and find pictures similar to samples from this website and Darren would make these ideas reality. Even the “chances” we took turned out to be some of the most satisfying features of our home. The end result was our project came in on time, on budget and most importantly right on the mark. WE LOVE OUR HOME…The Fox Island Haven.... ”

“After hearing countless horror stories about the remodel and construction process, I have to say that architect Jeff Babienko and his team at bARC have made the journey better than we could have ever imagined. His approach, vision, professionalism and attention to detail are nothing less than top notch. Babienko has a very thorough up-front exploration process that we thought a bit excessive, but discovered that it is this very process that allows him to steward the project with all the nuances of "feel", aesthetic and functionality that we were after with the remodel. While we forgot certain elements of what we wanted along the way, he and his team did not. It was amazing! The entire journey was a very collaborative, seamless and an entirely transparent process. His expertise as the interface with the construction team was invaluable and we can't imagine having done it any other way. We won't work with anyone else!”
