The home he designed turned out great--very unique, and highly energy-efficient. Chad knew how to design in some custom touches that made the home very site-appropriate for our rural setting. He also was great in navigating through the vast number of permits required for the job, and lined up some great subcontractors to execute all aspects of the build. I highly recommend CW Design for your next complex project such as this. Bob Climo

Unfortunately we used Peter Barnum to design our addition. We paid Peter up front. Needless to…read moresay Peter cashed our check the following day, worked with us shortly, and then never completed our plans. Instead he stopped returning our calls leaving us no choice to reach out to the Better Business Bureau (case number 472997). After many months of trying to contact Peter by phone, correspondence and the BBB we had to move forward, and paid another designer to finish our plans. After researching Peter Barnum's past we found others had the same experience. Peter had almost an identical complaint noted earlier. I would strongly recommend you reviewing our case in the BBB (Case Number 472997) to validate this claim. We do not want anyone else to become victim to Peter's deceit. Peter is a con - he is extremely friendly upfront, sighting his family values and work ethics, but unfortunately that is only to get his hand in your wallet. Review included on Home Advisor 11-9-17

But Anna had a way of making everything feel manageable. She was upfront and communicative every step of the way, so I never felt left in the dark. That was especially valuable during the back-and-forth with structural engineers as she always made sure I understood what was changing and why, which made the technical process much easier to follow. Her responsiveness was top notch as well. Anna stayed on top of everything and turned things around quickly. I highly recommend her if you need an architect who is knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely easy to work with.
