“My wife and I have worked with Richard on several projects, from a bedroom addition to cottage retreat and finally art studio transformation. We keep coming back to Richard, because in addition to his architectural problem-solving skills we always know that we can count on his creativity, attention to detail, and excellent project management abilities. From the beginning design consultations to product selection and placement, no detail is overlooked and Richard's own enthusiasm for our projects almost seemed to eclipse our own. Richard's attention to detail begins with the first client meeting, making sure that he understands your vision above all else before he ever picks up his pencil to create. In working for us, he helped transform an attic space of our home into a stunning master suite, bringing transitional elegance that gave needed spark to our space, while respecting the historic integrity of our century home. Later, when we bought our northern getaway, he transformed the drafty, characterless barn of a building that we had purchased, into a truly one-of-kind masterpiece that was at once a home, and at home in its setting. Later, I came to know Richard as an artisan supplier on some of his projects. Through this I experienced his attention to the overall project vision and client expectations from behind the scenes. And, like any good conductor, he made sure that all of the contractors on the project were in tune and playing together, so that the final melody was harmonious and advanced to the final vision and to the client's ultimate delight. I would have no hesitation recommending Richard for any project, from the mundane to the marvelous.”

“We have had a good experience working with Lester from Imagine Your Home as we went through a home reno project. He helped us from the start when we just had some basic ideas of what we wanted to do. His knowledge and experience in the building industry shone through as we stepped our way through the project. We would certainly recommend him to anyone looking at either building or renovating their home. We took our early 80's bungalow and freshened it up, added a 2 car garage and office, and got a bigger kitchen out of the deal, which was what we wanted in the first place. Lester has been very good at using creative ideas to utilize space in a practical way, and make it look nice at current with 2013.”

“Justine is amazing at what she does. She is highly proficient, experienced and delivers continuously amazing results. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a true professional to add to their project.”

“10/10 recommend! The team at Southwood Homes exceeded our expectations with their swift and efficient design process for our new detached garage. We couldn't be happier with the final outcome, which perfectly complements our home. We highly recommend Southwood Homes for any home design project.”

“My husband and I had a completely fantastic experience working with Christine. When we approached her to meet with us to be our potential designer we had some definite home plans in mind but many questions were still keeping us up at night. We were very nervous when it came to finding the right person for this job as we wanted the relationship to feel natural and comfortable. On that first visit everything just clicked. She is not only extremely personable and very easy to talk to to, but she is highly knowledgeable when is comes to her craft of home design. We signed up with her on that first meeting. Christine had our first set of drawings sent to us within a week after our initial meeting. It was great to see just how much she captured after only a few hours going over what we had in mind. The process flowed nicely after that until we were finished tweaking things here and there. Any changes we made were taken care of promptly on Christine's end and she was always good at offering her opinion when we just weren't sure. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone looking to design the home they've seen in their dreams.”

“Oh my gosh! I was absolutely thrilled with the service Aka Architecture provided me for my dream loft apartment - a third story renovation in a Queen Anne Victorian Building, where I also run my business. The mixed use of my building made this project very tricky logistically. However, Aka Architecture handled the permit logistics amazingly, with outstanding professional communication between myself as the owner and my City's Building Department for a smooth ride to an official permit. As for the design itself...Wow! Gorgeous! The apartment design is sheik and modern, keeping to my original vision of a dream living space, while magically maintaining much of the historic prestige of the exterior. Aka Architecture also kept the entire project from start to finish within the range of my original budget. Amazing! Aka succeeded in superseding all my expectations on every aspect of the job. Thus, Aka comes highly recommended by me to you! Do not hesitate to give them a call. You will not be disappointed. In fact, I think you will be as satisfied and fulfilled as I was! All the Best! I hope all your big design dreams come true!”

“Very professional. Design was very well done and is very user friendly! Communication was great, many interactions with Designer and all steps were completed professionally. Designer helped us with the purchase of materials and searches for contractors and other tradesmen to complete project. Very thorough with all aspects of project.”

“This firm is excellent from the friendly staff to the quality drawings in your hand. They have innovative design ideas but are also very sensitive to finding the dream in your own imagination. The details on the drawings make it easy to understand what the Building Code requires and how to make it happen. A big thanks to the professional service you provide!”

“Kevin Crozier designed our Boathouse with living quarters above. Our footprint was pre-determined by local bylaws, which was a limitation.He listened carefully to our needs, from both a function, direction of light and shade, and style point of view. He put together three very different draft plans, all of which surprisingly, met our criterion. After careful deliberation, we concluded that the plan that we initially liked the least, was by far and away the best for our needs. Kevin stuck to our schedule, and was extremely helpful in evaluating the three draft plans, as per their strengths and trade offs. He was able to be critical from a technical point of view.. He made adjustments to the chosen plan, based on suggestions that we discussed. Kevin stayed within budget throughout the process. During construction, we realized an addition to our design, would add tremendous utility, and Kevin quickly put the addendum together, so that construction was not interrupted. He did a great job for us, and we would call him first for future projects.”

“His company completed 2 jobs for us which we were, and continue to be very happy with. Nothing but good things to say The first project was a beautiful modern library. The design was innovative and met our aesthetic requirements of an intellectual space as well our wishes to have warm and functional family space. The room continues to be our haven. I grew up surrounded by close family and stimulating books and the room captures the essence of that coziness, warmth and stimulation. The second project was a food/wine cellar. Again innovative and cool aesthetic. He has a natural eye for selecting/showcasing the beauty of wood, and in the case of the cellar blended this well with metal and concrete for a industrial look tempered by the smoothness of a bamboo grain and polished aluminum.”
