We absolutely loved working with Brad and his team at Skinner & Skinner Architects. The whole experience from the first meeting ( where he basically asked how we wanted to live in the house) to completion of this great infill home was beyond our expectations.

Report
Brad and his team at Skinner Architects were great to work with. They are passionate about building, listened to our everchanging plans and were always willing to discuss options. Our house has changed considerably, Brad had the vision to take our small reno and completely change the look of our home. Our builder said numerous times that these are the best drawings he has ever worked with and praised Brad's thoroughness and foresight. Thanks for everything; it is hard to believe we are at the same house!
