So many positive thoughts come to mind when looking back on our experience with CARMI Design Group…read more Decades of experience coupled with fresh ideas and solutions won the day for us. We knew exactly what we wanted, and relied on the team to make our dreams come true from a realistic and structural aspect. The team understood exactly where we were coming from even though our particular project was definitely "outside the box!" The technology that CARMI utilizes allowed us to literally walk though our home via VR (virtual reality) before a single hammer was swung. This allowed us to pivot and make changes ahead of time and avoid costly change orders which makes so much sense. At the end of the day, we seemed to click from our first meeting and consider each and every one of the team our true friends. Small towns do not mean small minds! The "H" Family

We work closely with many school districts in Michigan and Indiana to provide innovative, functional spaces that are flexible enough to adapt to changing curriculum, technology, and teaching approaches. CARMI takes on a diverse range of non-education projects every year, too, ranging from veterinary clinics and manufacturing plants to churches, fire stations, and apartment building renovations. We tackle every project, large or small, the same way; first, we listen carefully, then we explore and collaborate with our clients to provide the very best outcome possible. CARMI Design Group has also worked on dozens of residential projects over their 30 years in business. They can help fulfill the dream and vision for your home – from the initial design, to the construction drawings, to helping estimate the cost and hiring the contractor.

The entire process from start to finish (which can be very overwhelming!) went off without a hitch! They were patient and thorough throughout the process, making sure we understood every detail, and there are many! Having no idea what we were doing, they were able to quickly peg our personalities and our style ideas. They provided incredible graphics when we struggled with the "vision" and included our kids in the design process. They truly went above and beyond!

After interviewing many architectural firms, Bill was the only architect that asked us what we…read morewanted in our home and listened. That immediately impressed us. We knew what we wanted, we just did not know how to incorporate it in the existing home. We were not looking for an architect to control the entire project. We have been doing the general contracting on our own and Studio 21 was the perfect firm for us. They drew out the plans and submitted for permits once that was all approved we took off flying with it. We did run into a unforeseen bump on the road with the crawl space foundation where and an existing addition was done in the 1940's, three cinder blocks deep. Gregg was able to amend the blueprints for us to get us back up and running. We now have a 100% full basement instead of 5% crawl space for the addition that was existing. We have yet to finish our total gut rehab/addition but we could not have envisioned working with any other architect firm other than Studio 21. As busy as they are, they took the time to answer our questions and go above and beyond anything we could have imagined possible in our home. Words cannot express their attention to detail, knowledge and creative minds. Bill and Gregg did an excellent job. We cannot wait to move in and finally enjoy the home. Studio 21 can tailor the project for your needs. They can go as much as doing everything for you to letting you fly on your own. If you are looking for an architectural firm definitely add them to the list of the potential candidates. We highly recommend them.

We were in London when Martins did the rennovations on our home. We didn't know exactly what we…read morewere coming back to. We opened the door . . . and walked into paradise. We felt like we were in someone else's home. Someone who had a lot more money than us! Martins isn't just a builder, or a designer. He's an artist. When you bring someone into your home to change it forever, you have to trust that person. When Martins came by for our first free consultation (something other people had charged us for), he stayed for two hours. He wanted to get to know us, and figure out exactly what kind of home we wanted. To say he cares about his work is an understatement! Other people we looked at charged us for that first visit, came in, took measurements, were out in 30 minutes, and then provided some cookie-cutter recommendations. Besides his off-the-charts talent, he is honest, flexible, responsive and easy and fun to work with... not to mention reasonable. He even provided us with guidance and recommendations to bring the overall costs down. If you're looking to do renovations on your home, that not only are beautiful, but also unique and specific to you and your family, your search is over. Martins Buka will not only deliver, but exceed your expectations!

Our wish was to build a second home with green features, and the Kipnis firm was without question up to the task. He educated us about the options for building materials, helped us select a contractor, then worked closely with the contractor to make sure he understood all of the innovative design features. Other members of his staff were equally professional. Nate was highly knowledgable, yet he listened to our input and designed a home that remains today a huge source of pride for our family. He was a pleasure to work with every step of the way!
