“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.”

“Kaufman Homes has used Doyle Residential Design Services in the past for design services. Jeff has building experience and understands design from aesthetic, practical as well as structural aspects. Jeff is a detailed designer, thinking thoroughly through his designs. I would highly recommend Jeff!”

“Nathan Good is an excellent architect. He is extremely experienced. He listens well and he explains well. He works well with other professionals because he has a broad understanding of all fields associated with building and remodeling a home and he is an excellent communicator. He has great taste for all styles even though he specializes in green architecture, but it is his judgment, his vision and his wisdom that puts him apart from other architects with whom we have worked. One conversation with Nathan and we knew we had found our guide.”

“Peter has done a great job for us on two different homes. Peters insights on our remodels we helpful and saved us money. I would highly recommend Peter. Shawn Mayfield”

“A wonderful design experience working with Cindy and Jim Russell! We are working on a tiny home project with them and I cannot express how much I appreciate their professionalism, vision and devotion to the principle of good design and livability in a space that is not only small, but efficient, livable and oh so stylish. We knew great design was essential to living well in a small space and we were frustrated with how much really BAD design, poor construction and ghastly material was out there. Ideabox resonated with us right away, Jim and Cindy are knowledgeable, collaborative, smart, innovative, fun and very good at what they do. We are still in the design stage, so unfortunately, I have no photos to share, but next year I will!”

“We hired Anderson Shirley Architects to design our new residence for our retirement, and work with our contractor during the construction phase of the project. John Shirley was the firm's principal in charge of our project. We first met John and Karl when they came to our rural building site to check it out and talk to us about the site and its relationship to the kind of house we had in mind. They talked about the land, how to design a home that would work with the land and surrounding countryside, about designing a house with both indoor and outdoor rooms that would bring the outside in, and ways we could ensure a light filled house, a plus for Oregon's grey winter days. They were reading our minds on these issues. We concluded they were not only anticipating our concerns, but that they would be open to the kind of participation in the design process we wanted. We were not disappointed. We worked with them over two years on the design for a modern 2,800 square foot home, with lots of light and real integration with the land. We were as involved as we wished to be. The design process took two years because that was our timeline, working with John and Karl from another state before we moved to Oregon, and we wanted to go slowly. Construction took another year. Our time lines and budget were met. We really enjoyed working with John and Karl. They have breadth and lots of talent, and their people skills helped us work through the inevitable challenges that arise during the construction phase of a complicated building project. We very much recommend them to others. Photos of our home are shown on the Anderson Shirley website under Northwest Modern Rural Residence.”

“We highly recommend Kent Cannon! His years of construction experience add to his skills as a draft person enabling him to be both creative and functional with his design work. His knowledge of local requirements will keep your project on track. His calm and thoughtful demeanor helped stabilize what can be a tumultuous process. We appreciated his professionalism, honesty, work quality & patient willingness to meet our expectations and deadlines. Kent utilizes state of the art technology to give you 3-D views of the work in process which helps you to visualize what the drawing will look like in real life. If you need a draftsperson, consider enlisting Kent's professionalism to move you toward your goals.”

“Cheryl has a great understanding of marketing and messaging coupled with a creative eye for photography. She's a stickler for the little details that make a photo truly remarkable. She plays a big role in the success of the messaging for my company.”
