Sustainable Design Professionals in Belleville, IL

“We hired Chris to help us plan out our kitchen/living room/deck remodel, as you can see on his Houzz site it turned out beautifully. It is the kitchen of our dreams! He also invisioned details that we would never hav e thought of. Most notable opening up the hallway to go through from front door to the back deck doors. Check out kitchen and living room remodel at Christopher Marshall in the architect section of Houzz. We couldn't be happier with his professional is and foresight.”

“We loved working with Killeen Studio Architects. We needed drawings to buid a laundry area in our 100-year-old St. Louis condo. The project included demolition of a closet that divided the condo’s large hall into two awkward spaces. Our new laundry is still under construction but we can already see it makes better use of the space. Mike Killeen and his team not only turned the drawings around fast, but also gave us advice, ideas and the names of trusted contractors. The whole experience was very professional, the drawings were exactly what we needed and the price was reasonable. We will certainly use Killeen Studio for our next project and I have no hesitation recommending them to others.”

“Worked with Jenny now on several projects. All turned out great! Actually way better than I could have imagined. Fun to work with, great ideas, helped me navigate through all the zoning and permitting and found me a great contractor. Looking forward to my next project.”

“Susan Bower did an outstanding job as the architect for the remodel of our condo at Lindell Terrace in the Central West End of St. Louis, MO. We purchased our condo for many reasons but one of the principal attractions was that this particular building allowed us to easily take down walls to open up the space and redo the layout to our liking. Susan was instrumental in helping design the perfect home for us. She started by trying to understand our vision and then offered alternative designs that took our initial thoughts and translated them into the clean, modern, practical, beautiful and elegant look we wanted. The use of lighting, something we had not focused on, was a creative way to enhance the space and give it a perfect atmosphere. Also, her vision on how to use all the space (where to put doors and where to move walls) was simply the best use of the space to achieve our goals. Besides her talents as an architect and designer, Susan demonstrated professionalism, competence and an ability to relate to people. Her communication skills and construction knowledge were evident when she was asked to help find solutions to construction related issues. She has been a pleasure to work with in all facets of the project and we highly recommend her for her design skills, her people skills and most of all her ability to take our vision and implement it adding her own spin to make it the perfect home.

“Studio Lark helped transform two very out dated bathrooms into two beautiful bathrooms. They provided new floor plans to help us make more efficient use of space; our once small bathrooms seem very spacious now. Aaron and Jessica are very hard working and responsive to the many changes and questions I had. They made the remodeling process easier than it would have been if I was working on my own. My husband and I are extremely happy with the finished product!”

“We've had a series of major renovations on our home and Mark has done the design/drawings for each phase of construction. We gutted a basement that required lowering the floor to get better ceiling height. We added a master bath/laundry upstairs. And most recently, we redesigned our kitchen and added a family room and office off the back of the house for a more open floor plan and additional living space. Mark did an excellent job of keeping the design in line with the look of the rest of the house, but the floor plan is more open which is hard to find in older homes (ours is close to 90 years old). We have loved the new addition and Mark did such a great job of figuring out what we really wanted and making it all work. I would highly recommend Mark for your next renovation or new design project!”

“Phillip Durham is truly a pioneer in architectural design. He has built his firm around the principle of exceeding client expectations throughout the design process. In addition to Phillip's array of credentials and expertise, his firm is power-packed with a professional team of designers whose vision and approach to modern/contemporary design is simply unparalleled in the industry. I would HIGHLY recommend Studio Durham as an elite architectural design firm to take on any design or renovation project. -Josh Gidcumb Broker/Owner/REALTOR/Developer CU REALTY GROUP, LLC Keller Williams Realty 2441 Village Green Place Champaign,IL 61822 josh@curealtygroupllc.com c-(217)202-0517”

“I've been a deck builder, home modeller, contractor, etc for over 30 years (John Oliver Custom Decks). I know Eric both professionally and personally for about 17 of those years. Eric is great to work with as he is always accessible to answer questions while I'm working for one of his clients or one of my own. He's both reasonable in his approach to any job site and represent the needs of both the property owner and contractor in a manner that makes sense to me where the job can proceed without delays. I would say his logical disposition and expertise in his field separates Eric from many other architects and planners that I have worked for.”

“Jim offered great ideas for our home- he has a great feel for maximizing space and functionality. We really enjoy workign with him and highly recommend his work!”

“I have worked with Architect Randall Comfort for over twenty years now. Since the summer of 1993 my company has completed numerous construction projects that were designed by Randall and each experience was nothing less than professional. Randall possesses a unique creative talent that I find rare in this cookie cutter age of design and construction. I have worked with other design firms and found that they often fall short when it comes to creativity. Not only has my company worked directly for Randall's clients but I have also employed Comfort Architecture in a design-build capacity on many occasions. Randall always provides very detailed complete sets of working drawings that make my job as a contractor easier. Many of the local muni- cipalities I work in recognize the quality of his work and the permitting process is often expedited. One last note regarding Randall's services. His customers and my company have used and bene- fited from incorporating a schematic design phase into the project. A qualified contractor can often provide preliminary pricing to help create a sound budget before the construction drawing process begins. Comfort Architecture has always met my expectations and I am sure will meet yours. Respectfully submitted by, Kirk Ostertag Ostertag Construction Company”
