Basement Conversion Professionals in Clinton, MI

“My husband and I have followed Michael Klement, the Principal at Architectural Resource, at the Ann Arbor home shows and remodeling tours for years. His passion for the work he does is evident in everything he does, and is delightful to listen to during his tours. We've visited every home that has been open for tours and no two are alike. His talent is so broad - from respecting a classic Italianate design, to creating a found-art energy efficient modern masterpiece. He excels at listening to what the customer is looking for and delivering perfection. He blends brilliant design with smart, efficient, architectural engineering. After years of dreaming of what Michael could do for us, we were finally in a position to consider hiring him. He met us at our home and talked with us about our "ultimate vision of living". We can see how this approach could lead to the perfect personalized homes that we had toured. He walked us through the design process and laid out an estimate for pricing. After the meeting I was so energized and excited that it took 2 hours to fall asleep (it was way past my bedtime!). Ultimately, we couldn't find a piece of empty property with the location / features we wanted for a price that would allow us to build new with Michael. So we purchased a home with "potential" and are saving up for the chance to do a remodel/rebuild with him on this property. We wouldn't dream of working with anyone else.”

“We worked with Stan Monroe to design and build our home on land we had purchased several years earlier. Stan listened as we discussed how we wanted our home to work, and designed a floor plan that met our expectations in the contemporary style that we liked and that took into considerations the features of the lot on which the house was to be built. Interesting design features were incorporated as the design of the house evolved, and the result is a wonderful family home that is beautiful, comfortable and welcoming to guests. Any elements that exceeded budget were our own choices, and deadlines were met throughout the process. Some of my favorite design features are the ceilings, curved walls and the custom glass front door that Stan designed. He insisted that a glass door was the best choice for the front of out house. We did not like the front of the house being wide open to the street. Stan designed a sand-blasted pattern on the glass in the door that gave us privacy, and added a beautiful design element that echoed the other curves in the house. We have been in our home for 16 years and still love the design. The entire process was a pleasure.”

“Doing a home renovation is scary, because who knows if you're being taken advantage of at any point? Thankfully we chose Angie to be our architect and it made everything so much easier. She listened to us and gave us more than we knew we needed, all while being delightful and reassuring throughout the process. On top of the excellent work, the open lines of communication and willingness to answer our questions in a way we understood made it all way less scary.”

“Scott and his team are an "out of the box", creative, and prompt design group. I have hired them for numerous projects since 1998 and have never been disappointed. One project he did was in Idaho and Scott did everything via phone and email; the end result was amazing!”

“KJM Design Studio was hired to do architectural renderings for an addition to our log home. Kyle's work really helped us visualize the finished project and provided a plan for our builders to work from. We appreciated the creative insights Kyle brought to the project.”

“Damian Farrell is architect’s architect. After interviewing over four architects for our mid-century modern remodel, it became clear that ideas do not come quickly to many architects. Most in fact required us to commit to over $30K to get even a faint idea of what they were thinking. Not Damian. He came with a sketchpad and after a 20-minute conversation, he started drawing. It is hard to describe the pleasure of living within a wonderfully designed home. The light, the angles, the view – all of these carefully arranged without being obvious. A Damian Farrell design feels right. Plus, Damian easily saved us twice his fee on on materials and labor. We recommend Damian for any design need, from multi use commercial to furniture. He is the best - the absolute best!”

“The consummate professionals. Deep knowledge of structure and aesthetics. Listened closely and incorporated our ideas and offered new insights. I wouldn't consider another project without them.”

“I have worked with other designers in the past and it always seems to be a long process to get to the final decisions on design. Maria is quite the opposite. She is able to drill down to the taste and goals of the client very quickly and present a proposal. Maria is very talented, professional, and straight forward. I own a home improvement company and have hired Maria to work on my home personally, and have worked with her professionally. I take advantage of every opportunity to collaborate with Maria on projects with my clients and they are always delighted with the results.”

“I hired Phil to plan the conversion of an unfinished attic into a master bedroom suite. Phil drew up the plans, recommended an excellent contractor to do the actual work, and was very helpful with advice during the design phase and the construction phase. The result was a great space. I was so pleased that I hired Phil to design a mudroom and back porch addition to my house, which I hope to complete in 2018.”

“Scott has a natural ability to understand complex issues, present solutions and move quickly to working drawings. In addition, and due to the over 30 years he has spent doing architecture, projects evolve naturally so additions look as if they were originally a part of the home. new construction is also a strong suit for Scott, as is considerable experience translates the visions of his clients to satisfying reality and years pf pleasure for owners and builder alike.”
