“Larry is very easy to work with, and has a lot of great ideas and helpful suggestion's. This is a first house that we have started from the ground up and he treated each of our questions with respect even if it wasn't something that could be done. He would then explain why it would or wouldn't work.”

“Gretchen designed a new bedroom addition & covered front porch for our 1935 bungalow. It all fits in so well, most folks don't realize the room was added. She incorporated all of our requests creatively - including a sunrise window - even tho' the addition faces northwest - a feat that seemed impossible.”

“The Boston Harbor House After two years of failed starts with contractors who couldn't understand the difference between colonial and craftsman, I did what I should have done in the beginning - I met with Sheila Swalling, who immediately understood blending historic design elements with modern conveniences. We were working with a small waterfront lot, and the goal was to recreate a stone house of the type you see along the shores of the east coast and Europe. It was also very important to have total privacy from the street while keeping the feel of an inviting cottage. Sheila's floorplan brilliantly accomplishes including everything essential on the first floor. Family spaces upstairs include an office, a library in the open hallway with coffee service for the upstairs bedrooms. The third floor, a kids' sleeping porch, is perhaps the most special room of all with the roof angles, the skylight and dramatic 180 degree water views. Besides the constrained footprint, we were also against a hard deadline for permits. Incredibly, Sheila nailed every detail after meeting with me only three times, and she produced all the drawings (structual, electrical, lighting, drainage) needed to proceed in a very short time. I hugely recommend SwallingWalk to anyone looking for a great architect. You will find that Sheila isn't just an amazing responsive professional, she's also wonderful company on the most personal of projects - your home. HUGE recommend from me!”

“Had my kitchen counter tops and back splash redone and they did a fabulous job. It has changed the entire look of my kitchen and was under $1000. I would definitely recommend this company, and will hire them again when needed.”

“I purchased a home built in the 1950’s that appeared to not have any interior updates since being built. Meghan helped me transform the house into a beautiful, modern home that reflects my personal style while being mindful of my budget. She gave good guidance when I was having trouble making up my mind and took the time to truly understand my style. Meghan is fun to work with, organized and professional.”

“This professional comes highly recommended by many friends and family members and I look forward to working with him on our first home in the Pacific Northwest and hope to do many other projects with him as we continue to grow our investments in that area.”

“Kim helped me navigate hoops and end up with the commercial property of my dreams- easy to work with and attention to detail.”

“Chris and Michaela are experts at what they do and most importantly, passionate about design. We had them draft a set of plans for our entire house, comprising several projects. The process took a few months because of changes on our side regarding the scope of the projects and what we were trying to do (more than initially anticipated once we got inspired). Chris and Michaela were extremely understanding and always available to chat or meet when we needed them. The final plans that they left us with are, beautiful, functional, very detailed, and included 3D renders as well as product pictures and serial numbers so that we knew where to buy thins like the visualized faucets and light fixtures from as well as the cost of each item. We couldn't be happier and strongly recommend you consider Vital Form Studio for all of your design needs!”
