TESTIMONIALS

Our experience with Greg and his team was first rate. We interviewed a number of architects and toured homes designed by each and Greg’s approach to design was by far the best. After our first meeting to discuss our concept and share photos of homes that we liked, within three days he produced a set of plans and elevations that became the basis for our new beach house. His understanding of sight lines and views produced a house that took advantage of both the rising and setting sun. He angled the house to take advantage of both the Ocean and the Bay, an approach that we were at first skeptical of, but he convinced us that the finished product would exceed our expectations, and it did, We loved our whole experience with Greg and wholeheartedly would recommend him to any of our friends.

Dear Greg:
We want to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks for a job well done. We are delighted with our house plans and are anxious to see our lot transformed into our home.From the day that we met until the final meeting, you were always readily available and worked hard to make our dreams a reality. Not only were you accessible, but also, you were an excellent resource person with whom we could discuss ideas. Most of all, we were impressed by your ability to listen as we made you aware of our vision. You always offered valuable recommendations when asked, but never imposed your will. It was always about our dreams and the most efñcient way to achieve our goals.
We were most grateful as you guided us through the bidding process. What a learning experience that was! lt was most helpful to be able to consult with you freely. We treasured your knowledge and experience.In addition, we want you to know that we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone thinking of designing and building his own home. Please feel free to use us as a reference.We look forward to you seeing the completed project.

Dear Greg,

In years ago I came to you with a plot of sand and a folder filled with pictures and ideas. You listened to my thoughts and requests (bedrooms big enough for eventual cribs and provisions to expand at some future time) and came back with my dreams fulfilled. This year we worked on that expansion. The new blends so seamlessly with the old that it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. My family and I cannot thank you enough for creating a beach home. We have come to treasure and enjoy.

Again, thank you so very much,

Judy Sauders

Dear Greg:

It seems like only yesterday that you met with Pris and I. While you had the requisite sketch pens and bungee paper (and Pris is still fascinated at how you draw upside-down), what you possessed that was most important was an interest and sincerely caring attitude toward what we hoped to accomplish in our beach home.
Needless to say, we are thrilled with the results. Your ability to really listen, and then design, produced a great set of plans. As a long time builder, I particularly appreciated the fact that the plans were not merely a set of great ideas, but a very useable builder-friendly set of prints.
Working with you was a truly pleasurable experience. Your ability to translate Pris’ ideas was masterful. Working with the constraints of lot size in the Bethany Beach ocean block as well as being mindful of the rich cottage tradition that is Bethany, you helped us produce an exceptionally livable home with truly distinct architecture befitting its location.I’ve always said about the hundreds of homes I’ve built that there are no perfect homes, however Pris and I think you got us awfully close to perfection and we thank you for all your effert. We have a home we can all be very proud of.

Yours Truly,

Ralph F. DeSena

Your suggestions, experience and enthusiasm made working with you a real joy. You know that we would relsh the opportunity of doing another project with you in the future.

Greg,
Thank you very much for providing the creative design of our new home. Now that we have occupied the home, we continuously find new features that enhance the advantages of living with water views. We started with some basic thoughts of the rooms that we wanted and desired room sizes. But, with your ability to provide new ideas, listen to our reactions and respond with alternative options, we were able to generate continuously improving results.
I appreciate that you began the process by visiting the home site to assess the lot size, the possibilities for different foundation positioning and the advantages for maximizing the potential for gorgeous views. The design had to deal with the challenges of an unusually shaped lot. But, your creativity enabled us to get the combination of desired rooms, room sizes and, as it turns out, water views for every room. Thank you for your patience, listening capability, receptivity to our thoughts and responsiveness.The delivered material was very professional, with solid engineering, clear explanation, detailed specifications and the artist view, provided, was comforting to have a picture of the expected finished product. Our builder and several contractors commented on the helpfulness of the drawings.Your follow-up has been greatly appreciated. Thanks for visiting the construction in progress, responding to our questions and offering suggestions on detail.

Again thanks for making a normally difficult activity, and enjoyable, creative process.

Dear Greg,

Just a note to say “thank you” so much for creating our wonderful new home in Delaware. Tom and I are so excited and pleased with the outcome and we have you to thank for putting the whole design together. The experience that we had with you was one that left us appreciating all of the detail that goes into building a new house of which we truly had no clue. Along with your expertise, we enjoyed our meetings as they were always very informative and enabled us to actually visualize the space from all directions plus your uncanny way of being able to picture what we wanted and being able to put it on paper. You made the process a pleasure. It was serious yet light and we plan to enjoy our home for many years to come. Thanks again so much and we look forward to enjoying a glass of wine, a martini or both on our deck…the sunsets are amazing!

Sincerely,

 

Sue Utterback and Tom Buckwalter
