Home Extensions in Anacortes.

“In the realm of architecture, finding someone who not only designs a house but crafts a home tailored to your dreams is like discovering a hidden gem in a sea of stones. Matthew isn't just an architect; he's a dreamweaver, a magician who took the blueprint of our aspirations and transformed it into a tangible reality that exceeds every expectation. We purchased land near Pine Lake in Sammamish with permitted plans, but we found ourselves uninspired by the proposed house design. Despite numerous revisions, the essence of our vision was missing. Seeking guidance, we turned to Matthew, who quickly identified flaws and presented fresh design options. Entrusting him with the decision-making process, we were captivated by his vision, prompting us to halt construction and embark on a new journey to craft the home of our dreams alongside Matthew. Matthew's approach isn't just about drawing lines and angles; it's about understanding the soul of a space. He didn't just listen; he absorbed our dreams, our fears, and our aspirations, infusing them into every curve and corner of the design. His probing questions sparked conversations that delved deeper than architectural aesthetics, forging a connection that transcended mere client and architect. Throughout our collaboration, Matthew exuded professionalism like a beacon in the night. His guidance was not just about making decisions but about empowering us to make informed choices that resonated with our vision and budget. His transparent communication and unwavering support transformed what could have been a daunting process into a journey of discovery and joy. Matthew's design transcends the ordinary, weaving together elements of comfort, elegance, and warmth in a tapestry of architectural brilliance. The way he seamlessly integrated indoor and outdoor spaces, framing breathtaking views with each window, fills us with a sense of awe and gratitude every time we walk through the door. For anyone seeking not just a house but a home—a place where memories are made—I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew. His talent, his passion, and his unwavering commitment to excellence make him not just an architect but a trusted partner in the journey of turning dreams into reality. As we eagerly anticipate the commencement of construction, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Matthew for his invaluable contributions. We are truly fortunate to have had him by our side throughout this transformative process. Shweta and Shilen”

“I am a retired Interior Designer and wanted to work with an architect who was up on the latest improvements in HVAC and plumbing. I had a pretty clear idea of the layout of our new house but needed help deciding on a contractor to hire as well as some creative structural details to make our 1800 sq. ft. single level home work for us as we age without looking like an "old folks home". Haven Design was instrumental in helping us select a contractor and we have been very pleased with the results.”

“Professional, friendly, skilled, clever -- that's how I would describe the experience of working with Prentiss Architects. In any design project, problems come up, but it is how the problems are solved that is telling. We walked away happy. We are proud of and are still in love with our house in the San Juan Islands, 10 years later.”

“Troy Philp of Millennium Design designed our whole-house remodel as well as a new garage and mudroom. One of the overall changes we wanted was creating universal accessibility throughout. We are particularly pleased with the roll-in shower Troy designed to replace the Jacuzzi tub. We found Troy to be creative and personable as he helped us decide how best to create big and small livable solutions.”

“We have had the good fortune to have benefited from Nina LeBaron's expertise for nearly 20 years on numerous projects. Nina was responsible for our first extensive remodel 18 years ago and we have relied on her excellent taste, judgement and critical eye on various renovations. Nina has the rare ability of an architect to remain mindful of not only the client's vision but the budget and the impact her recommendations will have on multiple platforms. Her research is remarkably thorough, her attention to detail exceptional and remains a joy to work with from the start of a project to completion. We heartily recommend Nina LeBaron for all sizes of projects; from large to small.”

“As a general contractor, I have worked with Greg on two historic restoration projects, and have found him to be knowledgeable, a great listener, and possess a high level of skill in assessing the needs of clients. Wholeheartedly recommended.”

“We would highly recommend Stig Carlson as an architect for your project because he listens to our ideas, he understands that this will be our home, not just his design. Stig has the unique ability to diffuse a situation where the individuals disagree on a particular issue, to move beyond this point until the two have had an opportunity to discuss their views and then later he will remember to readdress this issue. Stig manages to keep the project moving forward when dealing with county officials who give vague guidelines by requesting specific details of what they will and will not accept. He is an effective advocate for your project and provides an excellent set of drawings for you and your builder to help eliminate unexpected costly and time consuming change orders His kind and gentle manner is well suited for any client, yet strength and knowledge arm him for county regulatory rhetoric. We are most pleased with our soon to be built home. Sharon Vaughn and Bruce Porter”

“I have been in buildings he has designed and I am very impressed. I am awed by Richard’s style - clean, crisp, contemporary, making the most of view opportunities and space optimization. I will definitely use him when I am ready for a remodel, and I highly recommend you contact him for at least a consultation. I will be surprised if you don’t sign on after that. Alice C., Burlington, WA”

“Matt and Adina Brewster are highly competent in the design and building of green and sustainable homes. I worked with Matt and Adina during their recent expansion into their new commercial space in Bellingham, Washington. They were personable, professional and responsive during the process. I recommend them highly.”

“I recommend Mike Trafton, founder of Telesis Design. I've reviewed several concept works for clients of his for cost and constructability and enjoy his design work. I recently had an opportunity to recommend him to a client for a joint project; Mike came through with a great value package!”
