“We can highly recommend BLDG Workshop with complete confidence. In contrast to the many bumps along the way of our renovation and addition, the design process was exciting and enjoyable. Nathan and his team of professionals were timely and efficient, good at communication, and willing to work with the trades we had hired; however, their best attribute is of course their smart, inspired design! Our favourite part of working with BLDG was the collaborating... they are the experts but they listened to our ideas and were excellent at incorporating our whims and wishes. We will definitely be contacting BLDG the next time we build!”

“We worked with Gloria to re design and re construct a 3,400 square foot home in Riverdale. The results were spectacular in the true sense of the word and a credit to Gloria's innovative and cost sensitive design. We would recommend her highly.”

“Gene was exceptionally professional. We were looking for a creative designer to help us build our home in an unusual residential/commercial setting. Gene's design included a floorplan for 2 storey's of residential space which included a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and millwork throughout. His attention to detail and finishes is above and beyond. We were keen on avoiding box store finishes and Gene was very willing to help us secure options within our budget. Gene's knowledge of the construction aspect of the design was key and he was open to being on-site to help throughout the job. I would (and I have) recommend Gene.”

“I hired Gabriele and his company, Geometra Design in June 2012 to design a 3,500 square foot, 2 storey home that I will be building in south Etobicoke. Gabriele was able to complete concept design, committee of adjustment application and meeting, building permit design and application in less then 5 months. He was able to accomodate all aspects of the building permit requirements, including mechanical engineer, structural engineer and final renderings. His professionism and approach to the project, including deadlines was unsurpassed. He was able to facilitate all my needs, from design to building permit application (which in Toronto in not easy). His knowledge of the new digital building permit application requirements, made my application process very easy. I was told at the City of Toronto building department that most people do not have all the documents in the required format, but my application was perfect. I am very pleased with his work ethic and ability to respond to all requests. He was very easy to work with and I would recommend Gabriele and his company to anyone who is looking for a knowledgable architect, who can take any project from start to finish with ease. I look forward to working with him again soon. Gino C - Wynford Homes Ltd.”

“Marin has great vision when it comes to design. He is able to come up with great use of space and function. Contempo studio has a talent in modern designs and it shows through their work. We are very happy with our modern house which is being built in Park Hill Rd currently. We still call Marin with questions for our construction and suggestions on materials and he still continues to provide great costumer service.”

“We came to CAB Architects after we purchased our home last summer. With the current Toronto housing market, we knew it would not be possible to find our dream home; we had to make it. Brian and Charisma made this process as simple and as straightforward as possible. Renovations are never easy, but it helps to have good people helping you work through it. CAB provided us with a few creative schematic options, developed our favourite one, and helped us find reliable contractors to work with to execute the design. We are so happy with our new home, and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.”

“Solares Architecture Inc. from day 1 were a pleasure to deal with. Personable and professional through out. Renovation projects, particularly in downtown are never bereft of surprises and ours was definitely not the exception! Our project was full of surprises and eventualities which where difficult to stomach as they arose. Despite our frustrations, Solares was always there to listen to us, help us re-navigate the project and provide us with alternatives at each crossroads as they occurred and gave the extra 10%. An ethos of under promise and over deliver exists with Solares Inc.”

“I hired William Dewson Architects to design a summer cottage in Georgian Bay on a 5 acre island. Our first challenge was to figure out the site plan and where to put the cottage given numerous zoning restrictions and other natural fators. Bill and his team were great to work with throughout the whole process of defining the best site and then brainstorming the design that best suited our family asthetic. Bill's charismatic enthusiasm made our meetings fun and creative, we were all very happy with the end result and thoroughly enjoyed the design experience from start to finish.”

“Jason is a great architect, he helped us a lot to assess our property and gave us useful advice to improve our home floors and basement. Jason Fung was very helpful with creative ideas that adjusted well to our budget.”

“The house that John Shnier of Kohn Shnier designed for us was our first venture into the design and construction of a completely custom house We had no idea prior to starting how much time and commitment was required to complete this undertaking, but at completion we felt that the effort that we put into it was well spent. We are absolutely delighted with outcome. Working with John was an education in design, and was far more complicated and extensive than we had anticipated. Who knew that there were so many details to consider? We learned a lot about design from John’s rigorous and restrained approach. He limits his palette of materials so that there is a coherent feel that extends throughout the house, and we will never forget his directive that “no part of the house should look impoverished”. He encouraged us, wherever possible, to maintain the same standards of finishing. At no point did we feel that John was in a hurry to complete our project and move on to the next one; on the other hand, he spent no end of time designing, and re-designing, even once construction had begun. His perfectionism is obvious. The house is rich in fine details throughout, and it requires careful observation to observe many of them, unless one is looking specifically. The large windows flood the house with light and bring the outside in so that our yard feels like an extension of the family room which leads to it. We continue to appreciate and enjoy the house after 5 years of occupancy. For us, the house exudes an air of understated luxury and is always a pleasure to return to whenever we have been away. As with any project, its success depends on the planning and we feel that the outcome is exactly as we had envisioned it prior to the commencement of construction. There is nothing that we wish we had done and equally important, nothing that we regret.”
