Home Extensions in Sidney.

“We highly recommend architect Bruce Butler of By Design. He has been wonderful to work with, and we are delighted with our new home. We had never built a house before--nor did we think it was in the cards for us to do so--so we were complete novices when we began. Bruce was very patient with our lack of knowledge and did an excellent job of educating us on the process. Based on information he gathered from us, he presented us with an initial plan that matched our vision! After that, our discussions with him were primarily regarding materials and finishes. Our dealings with Bruce were done from a distance as we lived a half-dozen states away from our building site. Regardless of this, the process was seamless. Bruce also effectively acted on our behalf with the town Planning Board and Code Enforcement Officer. Without making a single change, they signed off on our plans the very night he presented them. He also participated in our meetings with prospective builders and made field trips to see their work. Additionally, he was very proactive on pursuing cost- and energy-saving options. We interviewed other architects before selecting Bruce. After the fact, one of the other firms asked us whom we selected. We told them and they said, "Bruce does great work, I think you'll be in good hands." There’s no question that we were!”

“Tuscher Design Group is always a pleasure to work with. Their attention to detail and ability to communicate the clients needs to the professionals they work with is second to none. I highly recommend TDG and look forward to working with them in the future.”

“We never intended to live in a dream house. Good, functional, and thoughtful architecture would have been fine. But our home on coastal Maine is so beautifully designed that the builder uses it to advertise to clients! Working with Dave Johnson at Skaala was nothing less than a superb experience. Through the design phase until the last drop of paint, Dave was a reassuring presence. When we moved in we already knew every corner of the house intimately and three years later it continues to give us pleasure and a true sense of home.”

“After looking at several websites, interviewing three architects, we knew Dominic was the one for us. His professionalism, knowledge and personality make him a pleasure to work with. Dominic took some of our general concepts and personal needs and turned them into something wonderful. He even acted as a marriage councilor by resolving differences of opinion between my husband and me that satisfied us both! He was right on target with our budget and met all his schedules.Dominic's attention to detail has impressed all those who visit us. He is as talented in interior design as he is with architecture. Thank you Dominic for creating our dream home!”

“Mottram Architecture is the reason our remodel is so functional still till this day. She took the time to listen to our ideas, asked numerous questions, and really got a feel for what we wanted out of the project. Then took our old farm house and walked us through several different design possibilities which incorporated new ideas and thoughts. Much of this helped us understand what we wanted out of each area and how much space we truly wanted in each room. Mottram Architecture helped throughout the project answering questions that the contractors had. We are thoroughly happy with the finished product. The functional use of space and getting what you want out of a project even when you might not know exactly what you want is the reason we would use Mottram Architecture again and recommend using them for a remodel or new build.”

“Matthew has been incredible helpful in our research phase of building a home. They've got a good thing going up there in Belfast and more people want a home that is healthy and efficient. I hope that some day we can hire them!”

“I have worked with Tobias professionally on a number of his projects. He is a very creative architect, stretching the imaginations of the clients he works with to realize more than just their initial vision. His approach is professional and yet flexible. The homes he has designed are spectacular yet very comfortable and grounded. Toby has made the many clients I've had the privilege of working with very happy. I fully recommend his services and the chance to work with a great architect.”

“Joe built a wonderful home for me in Cape Elizabeth. Joe was a pleasure to work with and his design and attention to details was outstanding. I would recommend Joe to anyone.”

“Marcel is an extraordinary designer. We hired him to completely renovate our old kitchen and his design, communication, time frame, and just wonderful personal nature far exceeded our already high expectations. Far beyond just looking to finish a job and get out, Marcel really dug into our desires for the immediate and future functionality of the kitchen and incorporated our specific needs into the layout and flow of the space. I would recommend him with absolute confidence to anyone looking for both a "Wow" outcome and for a space that is customized to your own lifestyle and needs.”

“Mike Bournival is a great builder. We have had him do things from kitchen, to outside decks. He does a great job and will work hard to help your dreams come true!”
