Erin - (homeowner) - "We own a house built in the 1830s which had a lot of walls and lacked natural light.  We knew that we wanted to improve the space of our house without enlarging the footprint, so we brought Kristin in to help us think about how to do that.  She came in, listened to what we wanted, and quickly posed a number of idea that were different than anything that we had considered.  Ultimately, her ideas became our reality, and our house is so much more livable now!  

We also realize that Kristin saved us a whole lot of money.  We were originally planning on enclosing our 3-season porch, which was going to be quite costly.  But when Kristin heard why we were planning on enclosing our porch, she helped us meet our needs with a much more modest renovation project (and price tag).  We recommend her to all of our friends who are thinking about reimagining their houses, inside or out!"  

Jamie - (homeowner- new construction) - "Working with Kristin to build our house was a truly collaborative effort. She was able to accommodate our wide-ranging ideas, and adapt them with her own aesthetic sense of clean lines and symmetry. She has experience from the construction end so she is realistic about what is possible and will honor your budget. She is patient, flexible and unflappable. The ultimate praise for Kristin is that we are delighted with how our house turned out. There is almost nothing we would have changed about our decisions because Kristin helped us make the best decisions for us along the way."

Joan - (homeowner - new construction) - "My husband and I had thought about building a small home for many years. When we met Kristin we knew we found someone who could translate our ideas into the home we wanted. She knew how to make it all fit into a small (1300 ft2) plan and we can't wait to break ground."

Doug - (homeowner) - “Kristin helped us improve the layout of our ranch house.  Although only 26 years old, the spaces were cut off from each other and didn’t provide very good flow.  Kristin created a plan that created a much needed mudroom and bathroom, increased kitchen storage, opened up lines of sight and improved traffic flow throughout our living areas.  She also improved on our own ideas by pointing out design aesthetics we would never have realized.  Thanks to her we are excited to move forward on a long-overdue remodel!”

Diane - (homeowner - new construction) - Kristin designed a house for me in 2014-15. I had lots of  ideas and requests for it to be smallish, very energy efficient, to have a work space,  to be well designed for me to age easily in, large enough to accommodate my adult children when they visit as well as low maintenance.  These were the main thoughts and desires for this structure.

Kristin took all of these ideas (and many more) and designed a home for me that I absolutely love.  She was fun and congenial to work with, which made for a collaborative experience. Innovative in her design with great conservation of space this house has all the features I desired.  Smart and experienced with building Kristin worked well with the construction crew and was available to them when needed.  She was very affordable and generous with her time.

I highly recommend Kristin regularly to those who ask me about architecture design of housing and renovations, and will continue to do so.
