Architects in Manchaug, MA

“Glen is absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to hire him for my next project. He has such great new ideas”

“Megan was wonderful to work with. My project involved working with an older structure with a lot of constraints. Megan took the time to understand my needs, was creative in suggesting multiple designs I could choose from. She is detail oriented, responsive, punctual and fairly priced.”

“Michael was so easy to work with, flexible, had great ideas, and was knowledgeable about the market place. We had a great experience with Michael, from start to finish.”

“Light House Design was the architecture firm I hired for a major house renovation involving knocking down interior walls, adding a four season porch, moving a bathroom, adding a deck and front entryway, as well as new windows, roof, exterior siding, and electrical system. They provided a thoughtful and attractive design in keeping with the style of the house. They listened to our goals and suggestions and often incorporated them in the drawings they created. When they disagreed, they explained why the suggestions were impossible or undesirable. Very attentive to detail, and cost conscious. They were also helpful in providing an objective viewpoint of the contractor's work”

“My wife's disabled father was moving in with us and we had to re-vamp the downstairs bathroom to accommodate him and his his walker. We asked InSitu to design a handicap accessible bathroom that would also fit our sense of design. Wow! We couldn't believe what our gutted bathroom turned into, and then some! InSitu proposed something that nobody else even thought of: opening up the floor over the basement for a step-down tub/shower! We (wife and kids) now step down three steps into a jacuzzi tub with double shower heads and no curtain to hide the tiling and keep kid-generated mess under control. My father-in-law showers in a different bathroom upstairs, but the toilet "grab bars" were disguised as the toilet-paper/magazine rack on one side and the counter top on the other. Worked like a charm for my father-in-law. Tons of storage space, too, and a big mirror my wife can see the back of her head in. InSitu organized an army of different workers who did great work in a small space. Guests now inevitably comment on the great bathroom and only on careful inspection realize that it is actually handicap accessible.”

“My wife and I knew immediately upon first meeting Terry that we would be working with a kindred spirit who would guide us through our first home building project. It had always been a dream of ours to work with an architect to design a house we would call home. Terry was able to coax out of us what we wanted in a home but never had the language to describe properly. He transformed our vague concepts into a home that perfectly meets our families needs and nurtures our souls. The exterior of the house looks like it grew organically out of the ground, adapting perfectly to our challenging site. Even better, Terry was able to tailor his services to meet our budget while still achieving these spectacular results. If more architects incorporated Terry's holistic approach to home design, the environment would benefit, humans would be happier, and the world would just be a better place.”

“My wife and I used Genevieve to create a renovation plan for a very old house in North Grafton, MA, originally built in 1833. The project is still underway and I don't have finished pictures, but the work she did to move the kitchen, add a new bathroom, a new master bedroom with bathroom and walk-in closet and create functional storage was exactly what the house needed. She also made all of the plan without having to move doors and windows. Just a brilliant plan. As soon as I have finished photos, I will update this post. I highly recommend her services.”

“The team at Bryanoji is top tier. They put together a great theme for building a sustainable home that this integrated into all aspects of the site. The attention to placement, function, and efficiency stands out. Most importantly, Brynajoi's work will stand the test of time.”

“Thorne Design & Build designed and built 3 projects in our Victorian home - a kitchen remodel, basement transformation and full construction of a study and loft. I did not want to stop remodeling! Each project was unique, creative and beautifully designed and constructed. Duncan (owner), worked closely with me to understand my interests for each space and then designed something that met our aesthetic interests and budget. - The kitchen featured a built in nook, reclaimed wood and a stain glass window. - The basement included water proofing, an acid stained concrete floor, and reclaimed pieces for cabinet doors. - The study featured a live edge desk, a full custom ladder to a sweet loft, pipe railing and a diamond large window. I highly recommend Thorne Design & Build.”

“Acorn/Deck House now a subsidiary of Trudeau occupies a storied place in the history of American manufactured housing and an equal place in the development of North American modern residential architecture and design. That this company has remained operational and served customers in some form almost without interruption since 1959 is a significant feat given the ups and downs of the real estate and housing markets. That one can still purchase from them the replacement parts and upgrade materials, obtain accurate blueprints for houses built over 40 years ago and converse with people who have absorbed and can relate the experiences and technological developments that have effected these houses makes for a situation unique in the housing industry. In this sense the extraordinary legacy of the Deck House continues to grow. Deck house owners today can expect knowledgeable advice rooted in decades of experience as regards upgrading the energy performance of the older deck houses. They can purchase replacement beams, flooring and exposed cedar ceiling materials that will match and fit houses built in the 1960's and 1970's. They can purchase stylistically consistent components to add on to these houses. They can be referred to builders experienced and knowledgeable as regards the style and construction method. That the original mission of Deck has been expanded to a broader range of style and to create the Next House system bodes well for today's home buyers and builders. As a custom home builder who also offers kit house options and works on the restoration of classic mid-century and modern homes. My relationship with Deck House has been essential.”
