“We have been living happily with our addition for 15+ years and love it. When people ask us about the addition we say “it’s a Blutt” and tell them about Michael and the process.”
Ann & Danny
“We now have a gravitational point where we can entertain. We can cook and have friends with us rather than being in a separate room. We spend more time on the deck, the roof provides us the ability to be outside in under most all weather conditions and when hot the outside fan provides cooling when there is no breeze.”
Barbara & Jim
“My husband and I are extremely happy with the completed project. We asked Michael to design an addition for our house to remodel our kitchen, open up our family room to the new kitchen, rebuild our garage to be 3-car and create a Master Suite above on the second floor. He came up with such a beautiful design and he thought of every detail so that our contractors were able to follow the plans with no issues.”
Alison & Chris
“The appearance of the house from the exterior is virtually unchanged…the addition was done in a manner which seamlessly matched the original architecture.”

“Michael listened to what we wanted and incorporated an addition that blends into our home perfectly. It looks like it was always there and is true to our antique colonial. I hate to sound boastful, but I continue to get many compliments on the kitchen.”
Ann
The renovation has allowed us to host large events at our home and be the ‘go to’ location for holidays. The addition has created a much better flow to our living space and made us happy to wake up in the morning in our beautiful Master suite.
Alison & Chris
“Communication is the key to ensuring that the process is smooth. We feel that the goals we looked to achieve were communicated, well-understood and translated into the final project with minimal wasted effort.”
Fran & John
“Michael listened intently, he looked at the space as an open space free of everything and proceed planning things out for us. This was an interactive process, as things change from planning as we went along and as things changed he would incorporate the ideas in.”
Barbara & Jim
“We are very pleased with the way our project came out. The functionality and feel of the house were greatly improved to fit our lifestyle.”
Fran & John
Process
Our design process usually follows a typical path and the phases can be generalized to include:
Setting Goals – Documenting Context – Design options – Cost – Construction
Depending on the specifics of the project and client, each phase in the process varies in terms of time, complexity, and expense. Each phase is specific to the project at hand, where for new construction context is limited to the site and site issues, for a full renovation of an existing house with an addition the context can be very elaborate.
All of this leads to a complex set of decisions, discussions, and choices which in the end develops into the realization of your goals. There are innumerable changes, good and bad, that may be required along the way and we strive to educate you about the significance of each of the decisions as we move through the process so as to be able to achieve the greatest sum of the parts from what is available.

“Our addition did not change how we live but we really cannot imagine living in the house long-term without having made the changes we have. It is just a more comfortable and better laid out house now, making it more pleasant to live in.”
Fran & John
“The design was completely detailed down to the quality of the products to be used in the construction. That detail was extremely helpful in order to have an end product that looks like what he and we envisioned.”
Alison & Chris
“Michael is so easy to talk with and he really “got” what we were looking for immediately. His understanding and depth of knowledge made the process so easy.”
Fran
“Michael was very receptive our goals and changes. We spent many evenings going over plans at our dining room table. He was very patient with us…our ideas and pictures. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better.”
Barbara & Jim
“
“After having lived in the house for a couple of years (prior to the renovation), we came into the process with a good sense of what we were trying to achieve. We felt that there were good, healthy and productive discussions to refine our goals. Michael was receptive to our thoughts and also knew when to push back a little to get us to see or consider other approaches.”
Fran & John
Michael spent time with us to make sure he understood what we were looking for. He asked good questions to find out what was most important and provided his experience to reign in some of our more ‘wild’ ideas. He reviewed design options with us to get our feedback and reworked things from our feedback without any push back or frustration.
Alison & Chris
“It was clear that Michael was interested in helping us achieve our dream addition within our budget and timeline, allowing us to stay in the neighborhood we love and expand our family.”
Ann & Danny
“Michael provided many options that we did not even think about or consider even though we thought we had considered everything.”
