“As first-time remodelers, we weren't sure whether we should consult with an architect or that we could even afford one. We discovered Tony through a mutual friend. Before we met with Tony, we had pared our wants down to the following three items: * Work-from-home office space * Updated & expanded kitchen * Media room to provide our growing kids their own indoor space Our expectations had been boxed in by our 1969 tract home. Tony not only exceeded those expectations, he blew us away with an innovative design that at once met our needs, freed our curbside frontage and interior experience from the tyranny of the cheap tract box, and met all the practical requirements of budget and city regulations. Tony held our hand and supported us through the permitting process. His adaptability and responsiveness saved us thousands of dollars in permit fees. Tony's contacts led us to the perfect builder/contractor. Schedules and budgets were never in question. The few inevitable gotchas and change orders were taken in stride and didn't blow up our budget. In short, we enjoyed our remodeling experience largely because of Tony's influence. We've lived in our new space for 3 years now and we're still happy. Tony was the best thing to happen to us and our remodel.”

“Claire was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her design was tasteful and accommodating, and she worked extremely well with my wife and I to come up with the best bathroom solution for our master bedroom. I would work again with Claire without hesitation, and I highly recommend her to anybody looking for a great architect.”

“Jeff Potts at SDG designed us an incredible, award winning guest house! What I particularly like about Jeff is his open and approachable style. We've worked with many architects over the years and many simply don't want to listen to the client. Jeff listens and then delivers a design beyond your expectations. I would highly recommend working with them.”

“We have hired Thom Torvend to design 2 homes for us in the past 10 years, as well as buildings for our business. Thom is exceptionally creative and his designs are timeless. His attention to detail is impeccable making his homes stand out amongst all others. Apart from Thom's design abilities, he has great rapport with all contractors, and vendors. A real pleasure to work with him. Made the design process a real joy. Thom is very good about designing what the client wants and keeping within their individual style. Thom is also good at providing the client with several options to choose from in certain aspects of the projects. Thom Torvend continues to maintain a reputation of designing high quality timeless homes, as well as commercial buildings. I will post photos upon completion.”
