Sustainable Design Professionals in Ajax, ON

“He's an excellent architect with a love of innovative materials and beautiful space. As a builder I appreciated his respect for budgets and ability to navigate the city's permitting process. We have worked together on a few projects now and hopefully many more in years to come.”

“Affecting Spaces did wonders with my main floor renovation. Gillian's attention to detail and professionalism ensured I had a great experience. From concept drawings and plans to renovations and furniture selection, Gillian's quality of work is top notch. I would recommend Affecting spaces to anyone!”

“We worked with Gloria to re design and re construct a 3,400 square foot home in Riverdale. The results were spectacular in the true sense of the word and a credit to Gloria's innovative and cost sensitive design. We would recommend her highly.”

“My husband and I are currently working with Wanda to update the kitchen of our Toronto century home (my estimates below are projected therefore, rather than actual, as the work is not yet complete). Wanda took time to hear our needs and wants and has been expert at helping us to clarify what those actually are. We had been stalled in the decision making stage for years, and within a few short weeks of working with Wanda, she had helped us to come up with a design that we are very happy with. It works for our esthetic and our budget and solved the design riddles that had plagued us. I had seen some other projects that Wanda worked on and whilst I really admired them, I knew my husband and I would be making very different style choices from those clients. I have been most impressed with Wanda's ability to "get" and work with our eclectic and somewhat undefined tastes as well as our thrifty budget.”

“Solares Architecture Inc. from day 1 were a pleasure to deal with. Personable and professional through out. Renovation projects, particularly in downtown are never bereft of surprises and ours was definitely not the exception! Our project was full of surprises and eventualities which where difficult to stomach as they arose. Despite our frustrations, Solares was always there to listen to us, help us re-navigate the project and provide us with alternatives at each crossroads as they occurred and gave the extra 10%. An ethos of under promise and over deliver exists with Solares Inc.”

“Gene was exceptionally professional. We were looking for a creative designer to help us build our home in an unusual residential/commercial setting. Gene's design included a floorplan for 2 storey's of residential space which included a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and millwork throughout. His attention to detail and finishes is above and beyond. We were keen on avoiding box store finishes and Gene was very willing to help us secure options within our budget. Gene's knowledge of the construction aspect of the design was key and he was open to being on-site to help throughout the job. I would (and I have) recommend Gene.”

“Natalia helped us to redo our main bathroom and deck. It was a great pleasure to work with her in these two projects. She assessed the existing space and listened carefully to what we wanted. She helped us develop our expectations and inform us about options. Natalia brought us samples after samples of materials and provided options for layouts with photographs and renderings viewed from the front and isometrically. In the end, our renovations reflected what we only inchoately hoped at the outset. We very highly recommend her for any projects needed.”

“I hired William Dewson Architects to design a summer cottage in Georgian Bay on a 5 acre island. Our first challenge was to figure out the site plan and where to put the cottage given numerous zoning restrictions and other natural fators. Bill and his team were great to work with throughout the whole process of defining the best site and then brainstorming the design that best suited our family asthetic. Bill's charismatic enthusiasm made our meetings fun and creative, we were all very happy with the end result and thoroughly enjoyed the design experience from start to finish.”

“Jason is a great architect, he helped us a lot to assess our property and gave us useful advice to improve our home floors and basement. Jason Fung was very helpful with creative ideas that adjusted well to our budget.”

“Had the great pleasure of working with Felix recently. This experience was one of a kind and I'm looking forward to our next project together! Felix is a talented architect, and a professional who is led by innovation, attention to detail and staying hands on throughout the entire project. Felix, thank you again for your hard work and for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!”
