As the silly Seinfeld reference goes, Art Vandelay would be totally jealous of the work that MGLM…read morearchitects do. Mark Garzon has been an immense help on two projects for the crib. During a kitchen redesign, Mark sketched a clever reconfiguration of our refrigerator and washer/dryer layouts. This new arrangement breathed new life into the dining area and opened up space! His ideas are sophisticated but he's able to execute the approach in a way that's practical so the contractors doing the grunt work are able to run with it. And let me tell you from the horror stories I've heard when designers/engineers/contractors can't see eye to eye, you don't want to be caught in the middle of that my friends! Especially if it's in your own house! Mark also made some great recommendations for a custom marble coffee table. My handyman Uncle had a beautiful slab of marble in his backyard for years and was kind enough to donate it to me. We wanted to design a minimal steel base that would complement our modern white leather couch in the living room. Mark drew up some plans -- but perhaps most impressive was that he was able to point us to a metal worker in Suburban Chicago! A graceful referral such as this is priceless! To end it with a Seinfeld nod... if you need help with your next design project.. these guys are the "Master of your domain!"

Having hired MGLM to design and oversee the build-out of my retail store and company headquarters -…read moreI couldn't be happier with the quality of the design, the construction, and the attention I received throughout the project. Matt and Elizabeth are creative thinkers who don't compromise function for aesthetics - an important trait in architects who dream big and then when it comes time to living/working in the space, you realize how dysfunctional "the big design" is. I'd attach pictures of my store if I could (maybe you can see it in my profile, not sure about that). I can't tell you the number of compliments I receive and I can't adequately explain just how great it feels to be in the space. My parameters included a "green design" with all recycled materials and Matt and Elizabeth researched the options and were able to keep me in budget, on time, and in keeping with the strict eco-friendly guidelines I required. I wholeheartedly recommend MGLM and look forward to having the opportunity to work with them again.

Been working with Kent on a custom home build and couldn't be happier. Very responsive, polite, fun…read moreand his cost are right down the middle. What more does one ask for? Being in the industry as a GC/Builder I came to him as one (a family) that's new to the town of Valparaiso and not knowing anyone. I believe in spending your money where you live. So, after my wife and I left Chicago for good when we experienced the public school system, we did just that. We called around and interviewed and he was our top choice. Kent accepted our cad drawing (layout) that we had created and our requests for for help in completing the structural and MEP work so we can submit for permit. Very happy client on this side of the screen.

Very professional. Arrived right on time for our consultation. He really had some interesting ideas…read morefor my bathroom project. I say this mainly because his thoughts mirrored my own exactly! After we finished discussing the project I had initially contacted the company about I thought that perhaps they might be a good fit for our master bedroom project we were planning for the spring. Once again, his ideas were amazing! However, while we both had the same thoughts on some things, he blew my mind when he completely came up with the idea of moving the door, taking out not only my closet but the hall closet and the bedroom closet across from the master bedroom! All of this was needed in order to move the door. That was all absolutely amazing and perfect! Unfortunately, when they came back with the quote on my bathroom it was a bit outside of my budget and I had to set them on the sidelines for the time being. We haven't made a decision at this point and, quite frankly, I'm not sure anyone else is going to measure up. We'll have to see. These guys are a tough act to follow!
