Incredibly happy with the emphasis on our accessibility needs, and how Ryan and Curtis were able to integrate those into an incredible floor plan. Thank you!

What a great experience! The 42 North team was great to work with throughout the design and building project. Their assistance in choosing our builder and design team was also great! Thanks to the entire team for making our dream lake house a reality.

Five Stars! Our experience with Ryan and everyone at 42 North Architects was absolutely wonderful! Ryan was able to really optimize where our house should be located on the property to give us the best views. We are truly thankful for his professionalism and skills and share this with everyone we know who is looking for an Architect for their next project.

Ryan and Travis are very knowledgable! They are both very personable and friendly to work with, which makes any process and experience so much better! We had much of our house plan designed/drawn up, and they were willing to take us on and finalize everything for us, which we are so grateful for! Would highly recommend 42 North!
Geoff and Stacey Eldred, Lowell, MI
Very professional. Listened to what we wanted & also gave helpful suggestions. Very fast response when we asked for changes.
Nick Hendriksma, SAUGATUCK
Ryan was able to take our thoughts of what we wanted our dream home to be and put that into realistic drawings. We were building the home ourselves and knew what our floor plan would be, but struggled with how to put it altogether. Ryan did that for us and was extremely patient in listening to both of our opinions and wishes for what we wanted.
Kim and Tony Maggini, Rockford
This is our second time building a home but our first time using 42 North. The overall design of our current home certainly exceeded our expectations. We love the layout of our home and it fits the needs of our family perfectly. Our house was featured in the Parade of Homes and the feedback we received from that was very complimentary. 42 North also went above and beyond by making it out to the construction site regularly to help oversee the build process while providing us with invaluable input. It would be difficult to overstate our satisfaction with Ryan and his team.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Ryan on OUR home. I emphasize our, because he listened to what we wanted, asked questions about where we were at in our lives, and guided us in the right direction. He did a great job of letting us make this our very own! Thanks 42 North

Ryan listened and understood our desires and needs – he even sorted thru the hundreds of Houzz pictures I saved! He visited our site numerous times. He ‘got’ us. With his thorough research for our project, he nearly nailed it with his first drawings. We made some minor changes thru the process and the result is our perfect empty nest.
MARK & KATHY O, Grand Rapids, MI
Ryan and [the 42° North team] are the best architects I have had the pleasure to work with in 30 years I have been in the construction industry! We teamed up and completed a couple very successful projects in Michigan. I’m now looking forward to again working together on some projects in Texas.

"When we decided to build our home, we were pretty naive to the process. We are blessed to have met Ryan and 42° North to help educate us on the process, and point out specific things we never thought of. Ryan has been the single most important asset in our home-build process - not only designing us a house we absolutely love, but also looking out for our best interests when dealing with other parties, such as builders, vendors, etc. The integrity that the guys at 42° North have is rare, and something that shouldn't be taken lightly. They are swift to hold your hand through the process, and the design work is top-notch. Ryan's communication is also amazing, making the process with him stress-free and easy going. 42º North is the only architecture firm we will ever recommend and use should we decide to build again. We're happy to take a friendship out of this year-long process as well, and that is something that you can never put a price on."
