Custom Build Home Professionals in Camas, WA

“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.”

“Ely was excellent in eveything he does. He is very prompt and we loved working with him every step of the way. He came up with a great studio design for our 2nd location. He quickly drafted three different proposal after taking detailed measurements of the place. All designs were amazing. Once we finalize on the deisgn, he quickly put our permit application in with City of Portland for approval. The process was very efficient. He handled all steps of the process very professionally. We highly recommend working with him.”

“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 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!”

“Dmitriy helped us design a remodel project 18 months ago and we couldn't be more pleased. He truly cares, turns documents quickly and accurately, and always follows through. Dmitriy has the expertise to know what we needed, the eye for detail we lacked and the network to support the project itself. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“If you’re looking for a very personable and enjoyable design process for your next home, look no further. After moving from out of state, we had purchased a view lot in a newly developed gated community and driving through one weekend, we stopped and talked to a neighbor who was working in their yard about their beautiful home and they recommended that we call the designer and gave us the number to Summit Ridge. We had talked to two others designers beforehand but after meeting with all three, there was no question who we wanted to work with and we couldn't be happier. The design of our home not only fits our new northwest lifestyle but its entire design was created around us. Each room was carefully planned out and is a reflection of our lifestyle. Highly recommended.”

“Angie Wieland was the architect for a major remodeling of one of the floors of my house. What impressed me most about Angie was her ability to grasp and to implement, together with our builder, the many details required to bring this project to fruition. To call the finished space spectacularly elegant would not be an overstatement. The centerpiece of the entire undertaking was a library in walnut fitted with classical decoration, a French fireplace mantel, and state-of-the-art filing system and shelving. It is a space that most scholars might strive to emulate in their moments of fantasy, but it took the skills of Angie Wieland to visualize, conceptualize, and shape the space into a brilliantly orchestrated achievement. I am an active academic scholar and this aspect of the project rose to almost utopian levels. I simply fed the architect with a few of my idiosyncratic ideas and she gave them concrete form. As for the rest of the space, a breathtakingly elegant suite looking out onto the primeval Oregon woods became the capstone to an achievement that seemed to exceed our every hope. Such synergy is rare in any architectural endeavor, but we were lucky to find that synergy with Angie Wieland.”
