Eco Homes in Coeur d'Alene.

“Andrew Schilling of SALT Architecture is to me the nearly perfect architect. I have worked with and hired many architects on various projects over the years and they usually seem to be either creative or technical...Andrew is both (and more). When I was interviewing architects in the Portland area to build my house he stood out from the crowd with his excellent communication skills, technical ability, deep knowledge, experience, and ability to capture our dreams and represent them in drawings. Frankly, I had expected him to have the highest bid of the group...and when he didn't I smiled and immediately accepted Now, with our project complete I am able to look back and say that it was an excellent decision on our part and I am looking forward to working with him and the SALT team with more builds in the future.”

“Oscar and team did an incredible job designing our lake home. I'm a budget focused guy and he was able provide thoughtful design solutions that minimized cost while maximizing the wow factor of our design. Our site was extremely steep (think near vertical) and Oscar was able to create an incredibly efficient solution by integrating structural and site design with our unconventional floorplan needs. Our project is nearing completion and Design Services NW was our best decision. Nate W”

“Rex is a fantastic professional. He did an amazing job of fully understanding the vision of my project. Any changes that I wanted or needed he was very quick to complete and discuss. Rex also has a great ability to communicate with his clients as well as with contractors and government officials. His attention detail and understanding of not only architecture but of the entire construction process was a huge help. I would highly recommend Rex and his company to any of my friends or colleagues and will absolutely use him again.”

“Designed a porch extension and small home office addition on our 1909 Foursquare. His entire focus was to make the area functional, but look like it had always been there. It's beautiful and even the mailman who has been delivering mail there for 12 years didn't realize we had extended the porch.”

“When we began our search for an architect to design a home and auxiliary dwelling unit to build on ten sloping acres in Northern Idaho, I spent hours reading bios on houzz and visiting the websites of various architects and designers. When I found Brian Reeves I was instantly intrigued. We wanted to find someone who appreciates the beauty of traditional architectural forms as much as we do, someone who would capture our vision not only for a house but for a lifestyle of hospitality, and who would also carefully consider our unique needs. As an active but aging couple with a disabled adult son, our plan is to live in community with our married daughter and her family, since they will assume our son’s care when we are no longer able to or are no longer around. I could tell by Brian’s drawings that he loved classic architecture and was extremely talented and creative. I sent him a message that started a conversation that led to the design of a beautiful home that surpasses our original vision. Brian has been so easy and delightful to work with. He is warm and approachable, listens well, and has an amazing ability to envision a three-dimensional structure from the simple sketched floor plans I sent him. He took our ideas, suggested changes that greatly improved them, and created a design that surpassed all of our initial hopes. Brian combines tremendous giftedness as a designer with willingness to listen and thoughtful attention to detail. Our builder has also commented on Brian’s beautiful design and how easy it is to talk with him. We highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a gifted designer.”

“Full service architect for our dream home. The entire office is friendly and professional with everything. They were always available for us and we couldn't be happier with our home.”

“I have the utmost respect for Copeland Architecture and Construction. They are extreme professionals in the industry. I have seen first hand the quality and dedication that they put forth in everything that they touch. I used Jeff Fountain for consulting on a downtown project and I also had to privilege to sell one of his buildings.”

“We have worked with Hendricks Architecture on a number of projects and have always found them to be highly professional, creative and easy to work with. I'm very impressed with their ability to take a client's list of design wants and needs, often times expressed with only a few pictures and emails, and transform that information into a beautiful design with a functional layout. We've recommended a number of clients to Hendricks Architecture and regardless of the home size or budget, each client is given the same level of attention and care. Nationally recognized for luxurious lake and mountain cabins, for one of our clients they designed a small lake cabin, to be used as a family retreat, that will be certified by the National Association of Home Builders Green Building Standard. Lastly, as a contractor, we appreciate Hendricks Architecture for considering our input and expertise during the design phase. We have found that when such collaboration is allowed to take place a project is more likely to stay on schedule and within a client' budget.”

“my husband and I have worked with Bryan at Edgewood on two separate occasions now. His professionalism and creativity is awesome and we would highly recommend him for any project you might have”

“I am currently working on a project with Longwell + Trapp. They have been nothing but professional from the moment I met them. They are extremely knowledgable and will help you at every turn of your project. I would like to specifically point out Cory Trapp. He does a great job.”
