Home Addition Designers in Grand Rapids, MI

We can also help you design additions that flow into the rest of your home. That way, you can add spaces for your hobbies, in-law suites, extra rooms for your growing family, and more.

What Makes Us Different from Other Architecture Firms in Grand Rapids

You might have an idea in your mind of what architects are like if you’ve worked with one before—pretentious people who aren’t actually listening to what you want or need. Toss that picture out the window when you choose us as your design partners

Since we’re designing your home that you’ll live in for years to come, we want to make sure it has everything you need and looks exactly how you want it to. We value design agnosticism, friendliness, and good listening skills above all else. That’s why we opened our firm—to get away from uptight architects like we just described!
