Building Designers in Sherburne County, MN

“Tim did a remodel of our office using a creative design that seemed to increase the overall space, while respecting existing structures. He has also done some projects for our homes through the years. I highly recommend his services!”

“Liz is a true professional. I have worked with her on several remodeling projects over the years and each process was smooth, efficient and timely. She is truly knowledgeable and experienced. She is currently working on our cabin and I’m impressed.”

“Bruce has done a number of CAD drawings for us. He is easy to work with and brings many ideas to a project including energy efficient components. The renderings that he generates help clients have a better visualization of what we're proposing to build. We have every hope and desire to continue using his services.”

“Brandon designed our cabin for us and was always available to make modifications. He is very responsive and has great knowledge of everything! No question or inquiry will go unanswered. Very professional and meets targets on time. If you’re looking to build a house from sketches on the back of napkin or looking to do an addition, he is the guy to get the job done!”

“Spring of 2014 my husband and I started planning our lake home. We had never built a home before and were tackling a cottage style custom home. After 8 weeks of pulling my hair out with terms I didn’t understand, countless hours researching on the internet, my lack of confidence in my ability to convey “charming” and “quaint” regarding the finished home would look, I was at the end of my rope. Marla Waseka, Graceful Spaces, was recommended to us by a friend and when we met her we connected immediately. It started with a simple, “so you are looking for a story and a half” cottage—and we were off and running. Marla is very knowledgeable, creative and resourceful. It was clear that the bulk of the decision making would be on my shoulders. With that said, my whole attitude about planning and building has changed and it now building the lake home that we are proud of is becoming a reality. 1. She took my random thoughts, ideas and pictures I had of likes/dislikes and helped us create the vision of what “our” cottage home would be. 2.She is our advocate and has provided so many creative options for design “issues” as we have gone along with the project. Her gentle guidance on design options and design alternatives has been so beneficial to our success. 3.When my eyes have glazed over and start to roll to the back of my head, Marla took over with the decisions—and this happened frequently! She understands what we want and can step in to make sure we get it. 4.Marla guided us on areas to save and where to splurge. In addition, she hunted down materials for our cost saving. She found us a reclaimed door that is half the cost of our budget and so unique and perfect for our space. And by the way, she’s always kept our budget at the forefront of our discussions. 5.In addition to all these other accolades, Marla has worked exceptionally well with our builder and subcontractors. Our lake home is not completed but we are so excited with each new stage of development. We highly recommend Marla Waseka of Graceful Spaces and will be using her again in the future!”

“Darin is one of the most talented Residential Architectural Designers I've ever worked with. We've been working together on a number of projects ranging from New Home Construction, Kitchen Remodels, Basement Finishes, etc. for almost a year now and I'm constantly overwhelmed by his creativity, his service to my customers, and the overall professional nature that he takes with everyone of my projects. I highly recommend his services and look forward to working with him every chance I get.”

“David Strand delivered above and beyond our expectations, not only from a design standpoint, but also in terms of service and expertise. He has a unique eye for design and an uncompromising standard for quality. We would highly recommend David and his team to anyone, and would absolutely choose to work with him if the opportunity approached again.”

“Talysssa and John are a great team. They have helped us over the last several years on numerous projects and we are very pleased with their work. They are very responsive, knowledgeable, effecient and friendly.”

“My husband and I did a complete remodel and add on to our home. We hired Paul to design our new home. Paul is very knowledgeable in all aspects of construction which was beneficial to our budget and the builders. His drawings were detailed and several parties involved complimented him on them. Paul is very easy to communicate with and was never pushy towards us on a design or idea that we did not want. Paul did a phenomenal job on all the little details that in the end gave our house texture and beautiful character (square walnut railings, refurbished beams, wood encased walkways, etc.). Paul was always available and quick to respond to us and all parties involved. Overall, I highly recommend Paul!”

“We had the pleasure of working with John on our second story addition. He was professional, creative, and an excellent listener. He masterfully combined our ideas and goals with his own ideas and experience to create plans for our home that have worked perfectly for our family.”
