“Departure came out to our property after the 2013 Build-It-Green tour and talked to us about potential of building an ADU. A year later, we decided to move forward with building an ADU and again, contacted Dan Lajoie. He came out to our property with the notes and ideas discussed the previous year and was willing to spend a long time discussing our hopes for our ADU. He was able to take our ideas and create a beautiful space that works perfectly for us and our property. Throughout the beginning of the process Dan was available to answer our questions, he spent time sharing pictures and showing us ideas as well as meeting with us regularly to look at his progress. He always took our perspective into account and reworked some of the drafts to ensure we were getting what we wanted; but he also had fantastic ideas that we had not thought of and did a great job inserting his personal character into the project. Overall, we have been really impressed with Dan's patience and his ability to turn a small space into something so functional and beautiful.”

“I have had two separate projects with Sasquatch architecture and both came in under budget and on time. Kris is very responsive and provides excellent suggestions throughout the development of the project.”

“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.”

“I have used this company multiple times for single family and multifamily builds. They are very responsive and work/communicate in flexible hours that work around their clients (in this case my) timeline/availability. Highly recommend for your arch/planning needs.”

“Professional, creative and reliable, Pitkin architects are a pleasure to work with. Deidre is versatile - from coastal designs to desert dream homes.”

“I connected with John to help restore our newly-purchased 1967 single-floor ranch cottage in Portland, OR. Even during our first interaction, John had a calm, approachable demeanor, and listen thoroughly to my design ideas. He followed through on listening with strong visualization through 3D renderings that made me feel as if I was standing in my home, before we even began construction. His realistic renderings helped us make some necessary design changes to improve the flow of the layout before investing in construction, which ended up being a massive cost-saving for us. Throughout the schematic design, design development, and construction documents phases, John had fantastic communication and was on time, even early, with his deliverables. We will 1000% utilize spacehouse's services again for our next home design project!”

“I have known Doug more than 30 years. In that time I can attest to his honesty, and performance at the highest levels of quality, attention to detail, creativity, consistency and customer satisfaction. He brings a wealth of knowledge from his many years working at all levels of the industry. He is an intelligent, affable, efficient, straight-talking architect sensitive to customers' visions and budgets. I wholeheartedly recommend Doug for all your architectural needs! He is a true professional, fully invested in his clients and their projects.”

“Nick has been a pleasure to work with at every step of the process. Not only does he have great taste and obvious expertise, but he's also been incredibly patient as we work through our priorities for our house. Most importantly, he's 100% transparent about his role and the process—we have complete faith in Nick and would work with him again and again (if we ever have the opportunity to build another house).”

“I did a major remodel in San Francisco working with Andrew over a few year period on a fairly complex project. I found him to be sharp, professional and honest. Not one to press his design vision, he listened, offering either a pathway or excellent options from an impressive and knowledgeable background. Detailed, result producing and not your typical current-trend architect- he runs the type of firm which fulfills the owners dreams. I would highly recommend Andrew Feldon for most any project calling for imagination, solid communication and satisfying results.”

“Maria Cohen is an amazing person to work with. She is knowledgeable of all trades. She understands that the designs need to work for our family and our budget. She is honest and addresses the needs of all family members. She has a sincere approach and a good sense of humor. We have done small projects with her and are looking forward to bigger construction projects.”
