Sparano + Mooney Architecture - Salt Lake City, Utah

We worked with Sparano Mooney on a complex large residential project and found them very professional and accommodating of the sometimes changing environment. Their designs were absolutely stunning. It seems like they read my minimalistic Swiss mind. The team also brought in an incredible partner to design the landscape in concert with the home on an untouched reserve. We could not imagine a better partner for any of our future projects.

I have had the pleasure of working with John Sparano and Anne Mooney on several large design projects. They are both some of the nicest people you have ever met. Thorough, creative, think-outside-the-box type of architects that you only dream of working with and learning from. They are extremely honest, forthright, detail-oriented, and have a great sense of accountability and follow through. Each time I have had the opportunity to watch Sparano and Mooney in action, I am beyond impressed and revel in the opportunity to learn from them, their business, and their work ethic. They get to the soul of a project, they really explore what the structure means and the potential of the space. This is truly what architecture and being an architect is all about.

Anne Mooney and John Sparano were the dream team for building our home. Their distinct vision paired with their flexibility and patience resulted in a spectacular and unique home. We can't recommend them highly enough!

After interviewing several architectural firms, I hired Sparano + Mooney in September to design a new home. We negotiated a design fee and I put up a large deposit. In early November, in response to my prompting, they finally offered me 5 "concept plans." When I saw their drawings, I was astonished. None of the five plans had any relationship to the available views. In a host of ways, the plans made no sense. I had hired this firm because I thought we would communicate well, that they were listening. These preliminary plans indicated otherwise. I didn't feel I could risk getting any further into the project. I told them I would not be going forward and asked for a refund of the remainder of my paid deposit. It took them several weeks to do the accounting. Of course, since they had my money, I had no leverage at this point. Besides their self-described "brushstrokes" (the 5 unusable concept plans), they had visited the site twice and reviewed the CCR's. For this, they charged me 20% of the project cost, double what I had expected to pay. When I protested, they became quite nasty and refused any further consideration. If you choose this firm, read your contract carefully. You may want to specify some percentage of charges should an early exit become necessary.

Sparano + Mooney Architecture are literally, in my humble opinion, the best World Class architects! They have literally exceeded my expectation in the work that they have done and literally manifested my dream restaurant. Although i'm in a shopping center, once you walk in, you literally are in another world that feels like i'm the only one in the shopping center. A lot of people tell me that they feel they are in Europe, or in LA or New York. Their design is simple, yet elegant, and has a very European touch to it. The sense of feng shui is superb, the way they designed everything, flows so perfectly. They were so diligent with the contractors and on top of everything. So detailed oriented like no other i've seen, and i'm OCD, yet they surpassed me and are truly impeccable with their work! They are amazing, i can't express my sense of gratitude enough! I think who every goes with them is extremely lucky, because they will exceed your expectations. Thank you for changing my life guys, many blessings on your lives...

I just called and spoke to the secretary (lady who answered)... After I told her what I need done, she decided that I just need a structural engineer to draw up the plans for permits. Since her office wouldn't be the right fit for that small of a job, she took down my email and sent me a few engineers who could help me. Short & sweet. Much appreciated!

They are so creative and detailed in their architecture. I would highly recommend them!
