We had a fantastic experience working with Dana and their architecture firm on a remodel and addition for my in-laws. From start to finish, they were professional, collaborative, and practical in their approach. The plans were well thought out, and they worked seamlessly with us to ensure everything met our needs. Best of all, the project was completed on time and within budget—something that’s not always easy to achieve in construction. I highly recommend Dana and their team for anyone looking for a skilled and reliable architect!

Terrific and skillful people to work with as they designed and engineered a large, bespoke waterproof deck that also enhances the structural integrity of the house. Provided references for general contractors. Facilitated things with the city of AG bureaucracy. Highly recommended.

Had Dana and Craig do the plans and design for the kitchens do it turned out better than expected. Most of the work was done remotely on our end since the house is a vacation home so we really trusted the team to get the design and all required permits. They are responsive and easy to contact which was a Hugh plus for us who did not live in the area. The job was phenomenal and attached pictures to show the great work. Notes:
- Hugh load wall removed and added PSL beams
- Craig and Dana made multiple visits to ensure the drawings were followed. The visits also had a ECN (engineering change) which can only be found when walls were removed and beams are exposed.

I have been working with them for over 10 years, and they are always one of the first firms on my list to reach out with new projects.

Very professional, creative, and on schedule.

I am looking forward to many more years together.

Logan and Dana were a pleasure to work with on a regulatory compliance task. Clear communicators, organized, and friendly.

I worked with Dana and Craig on a recent renovation. I am very pleased with the outcome.
Dana is very creative and presented several initial design options to consider. Once we aligned on the design, she made sure that the ideas and intentions were applied in all the details and finishes, large and small. This resulted in a very comprehensive and cohesive look throughout the house.
Craig’s technical knowledge was helpful start to finish. They both made the permit process easy and collaborated well with the General Contractor through to the end.
The team was creative, responsive, resourceful, and very supportive through the entire project.

Working with Dana and Craig has been great from the very beginning! Their design briefs are well articulated and really connected with the philosophy of what their clients want. They are a pleasure to work with, very flexible, and innovative. They're qualified to draw up construction documents as well as just provide designs (a key thing to look for in architecture firms!). I would happily work with them again given the chance.

This is the very best place for architecture. Dana and Craig are down to earth, their designs are creative, and they really listen. They help coordinate things with contractors and keep them reeled in. Go with them, you will be pleased.
