House Extension Professionals in Westlake, OH

“Our company worked with Chris on the large contemporary renovation in Bratenahl. The project offered many challenges from concept, thru design to construction. We have done several projects of this type. Working with Chris was a pleasure that is not always experienced on a complex project like this. His attention to detail, communication and involvement in the project allowed for the entire team to establish a solid relationship with the owner and enabled us to complete the project as expected and with the highest quality.”

“After raising our family in a traditional four-bedroom two-story home, my wife and I wanted to downsize into a ranch home in our same neighborhood. The home we purchased was a 1970’s era three-bedroom ranch with “good bones,” but badly in need of updating. We brought Jeremy in from the Onward Design Collaborative even before we closed on the purchase to share our ideas and get his input. In short Jeremy incorporated all the items on our “wish list” in his design, opening up the living area, adding master suite with a walk-in closet and transforming a sunroom from an added-on porch. His detailed drawings were accurate, and he worked well with our general contractor. The results were fantastic and on-budget. We love our completely remodeled ranch “forever” home. Thanks again to Jeremy and Onward Design Collaborative for help making our dreams come true. Gary & MaryBeth Smith”

“Having been in the design-build industry for 25 years and completing multiple high profile projects in Ohio and Florida with William Fugo, I am able to definitively state that he is most outstanding professional I have ever collaborated with. His skill at developing project parameters sets the tone for devising design and functional concepts for each project. This approach is consistent regardless of the size of the project. Large projects including those designated: “Wilderness,” “Valley Overlook” and “Canalside” were complex whole building renovation and additions - yet the attention to detail was maintained throughout the process. His ability to bring highly creative and effective designs to the client is consistently remarkable. Coupled with this architectural skill is the very rare skill to carry the design process to the projects interior. The ability to design interior elements to improve traffic flow, food servicing, senior living amenities, architectural details & finishes, lighting, color selections and furnishing selection & procurement while collaborating with other professionals ensures the finished project routinely exceeds expectations. William Fugo is a methodical project partner. His work is always organized, documented clear & concise and timely. This directly impacts the ability to keep a project on budget and on time. He works exceptionally well with owners, clients and other professionals. This capability also includes the ability to collaborate with technical specialists, contractors and trade professionals - this skill is a source of great relief during the complex construction process.”

“Adam came to us highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. We reviewed Adam’s website which showed an excellent sense of design. During our initial meeting, Adam listened to our ideas and asked questions about what was important to us. Adam provided a comprehensive list of questions in order to understand our vision and needs. During the schematic design process, we were provided with plans that faithfully accommodated these needs and desires. At the end of the process, we received detailed construction documents, which were aided by Adam’s 3D renderings, resulting in accurate building estimates. During construction Adam successfully addressed various issues and problems arising from either unforeseen circumstances or contractor errors. We feel Adam has continually protected our interests, and ensured that the constructor made no changes without our approval and has been an advocate against attempts by the contractor to add on additional fees. Adam is passionate about architecture. He has been involved in every aspect of the project, while being responsive to our design goals - generously offering thoughtful advice throughout. Overall, our experience has been superb. We strongly recommend Adam and A|O.”

“We just completed our second whole house renovation with the Clemens Pantuso Architecture team. They are masters in the way they balance the needs of each one of us, while maintaining the integrity of the original century home in the community. They are now part of our extended family and are always our first call when we get the urge to work on another project. There is no one better!”

“I have worked with Weber Architecture for over 10 years. Silvia and Gerry go above and beyond to create projects that are not only beautiful, but well thought out and perfectly executed. The care and creativity that goes into each design is evident in the final result. They are true professionals and a joy to work with.”

“Schill Architecture designed our home back in 2004. Working with Steve was an absolute pleasure. My wife and I had never built a custom home, and were not sure what to expect. Steve was very open, honest and helped us learn about the process, not just provide us with a service for a fee and we move on (like many architects and builders do). Steve did not build our home, but kept in touch with us during the construction process, and still takes the time to keep in touch, over 8 years later! Steve has evolved his business into not only design architecture, but now design and build. I personally take making recommendations very seriously, as my reputation is on the line when I recommend someone. Steve Schill and Schill Architecture is the only architect or design and build company that I will recommend.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Bill Eberhard to fulfill my law firm's space needs for about 20 years. He's gotten much uglier in that time, but remains one of the most talented and dedicated architects that I have encountered. Bill has a unique inherent ability to design spaces that are functionally succesful and are works of art at the same time. Then he commits himself to making sure that the actual construction meets his high standards. The result is a space that you can be very proud of and which fits like a glove. I highly recommend him to anyone considering an important project.”

“I hired Darla for my kitchen design in 2011. It turned out amazing! She is very creative and respects a budget. I was so happy with her services that when it was time to gut our bathroom, Darla was the first person that I called. For that project, and for the remodeling of our family room, Darla acted as designer and contractor. Again, we were very happy with her services. She is professional, reliable and gets the project done on time and on budget. If you are not satisfied with something, she fixes it. She is a delight to work with and I have referred her to many of my friends.”

“You won't find an architect more dedicated to detail and construction quality than David. I've known David for over 30 years and followed his work. Please be sure to check out some of his interiors as well as renovations, etc.”
