The outcome exceeded our expectations. When we started down this path, we never imagined the end result being what it is. We never would have gotten through the process without the Stouse team! If we decide to build another house, Stouse Design will be our first to call.
A.K. and C.K.
The degree of intelligence, soul and patience that Stouse Design committed to our projects has - in our experience - never been matched by another firm. They created space for our visioning while pushing us to an elevated outcome far exceeding our initial possibility. In watching them design, develop, and manage our projects, we learned to respect our space in a way that has carried through to our family life. The spaces have truly "held" us, and have touched every person who have shared our space with us.
E.T. and J.T.
Michael and his team were wonderful to work with. The architectural design process felt like a true collaboration. We had an aesthetic in mind for our home, and they created the perfect plan with us. They were familiar with our builder and designer, and they all worked very well together. We love our Stouse Design home!
K.C. and C.C.
Working with Stouse Design is a pleasure. From my own home to client projects, we’ve built a great working relationship where the end result always exceeds expectations. Not only are Michael and Kelly professionals, they are also good people who care about your project. I would not hesitate to recommend their team to anyone!
A.G.
Stouse is a thoughtful team of professionals who love their work and are committed to the success of others. The super talents they bring to the table do include exceptional design, and they also go way beyond. They share the spotlight with other design professionals that were a part of the project; they are inclusive and welcoming as a firm, and inherently lift up others along the way.
G.K.
Your work is beautiful and it comes through with the craft with which it's executed, and that speaks to your relationships in the field. It's also unique and timeless, yet modern. Worth every penny.
