I cannot believe I am about to write a review about an architectural firm. But I am indeed. The…read morestaff at Architectural Nexus are the best of the best of the best. You know that line from Men in Black? Where Will Smith's character shows up for his "audition" dressed casually in a room of stuffy military types and they are looking for the best of the best of the best, sir!? Well I interviewed 12 firms for our project, and I say these are the 'Men in Black' of local architects. Our design team consists of Jeff and Ricky. Jeff is one of the principals, and Ricky is the primary designer on our project. They presented a timeline based on our budget for concept drawings. They both sat down with us for three very distinct phases that included multiple meetings each phase. They met with our outside partners to get their feedback. They met with our City to make sure they stayed in budget. They researched local, state and federal laws and renovation codes concerning our building. They took everything we asked for, wished for, hoped for, and made a concept drawing proposal that is exactly what we need. Some of the changes are minor, keeping the integrity of our existing structure; and some changes are vastly drastic but still keeping within the confines of having a historical building. As I type this, Ricky is compiling the budget proposal for our project so that we can work on funding. They have concept drawings that have been presented to the project team, the Board of Directors, and will be presented to the City for approval next week. They stayed on schedule, in budget, and gave us everything we asked for that could be reasonably accomplished. And they did it smiling and, literally, singing all the way. (Ricky has a song for every occasion!) Once the changes are approved Architectural Nexus will provide us with concept renderings that we can use for our fundraising phase. When it is time for the actual design and construction drawings we will absolutely use Architectural Nexus again. Their sub-engineering design firms are just as amazing as the architects on our project. We tell them what we want or need, and they have designed a plan to incorporate it in a safe and creative way. They are the best of the best of the best!

He is knowledgeable, responsive, and communicates well. He had lots of great ideas, which really helped because we had no experience, but were in a hurry to start building. He listened to our ideas and wishes too, and made them happen. We asked for lots of little changes along the way, and some big changes too. Jackson was very patient and and happy to make sure we got what we wanted and what we could afford. The price was great, and the plans very detailed. Our contractor was impressed at the amount of detail, which says a lot.

It really felt that they were helping to make our ideas become our realities. They really valued our opinions and wanted to ensure our satisfaction with the end product. There were a few things about the barn that we were not sure about, such as window placement, door locations, or a possible balcony. They had ideas and suggestions I would have never thought of. They definitely wanted to make us happy. It is obvious that they take pride in their work and are only happy if their client is happy. They really do go that extra mile!

Building a home for the first time can be exciting and daunting all at the same time. Our builder…read moresent us to Creations West to look at their plans and find one that would work for us. I'd actually already designed my own set of plans, which I brought with me at our first meeting. When we came in, Caden met us and brought us into their conference room and offered us some water. We showed him the plans we'd drawn up, which he actually was impressed with. He then explained that they would be happy to use my plans, however, to help us save money, we could take a similar plan that they'd already created and modify it accordingly. He then brought us 4 or 5 different plans that he felt would be easily modified to fit our design needs. Sure enough we found a plan and with Caden's help was able to tweak it to fit our layout. He took our plan and reworked their existing plan and quickly had a working draft of our new home. Then our builder went on vacation and we had to wait to sell our existing home to put the money down to really start the ball rolling. During that time, my wife and I would re-examine the plans and think of something to change or modify. Each time, Caden was more than willing to make those changes for us and did so in a very timely manner. He often offered some suggestions that we hadn't thought of like adding a door at the end of the basement hallway before the stairs, to help keep noise and heat in the basement. Caden even took the time to go through different online images of vaulted ceilings and fireplace settings to see what we thought would look best. He was very patient and we felt he genuinely cared that we were happy with our plans and totally understood our need to "get it right" instead of living with regrets after the fact. Creations West has hundreds of plans to choose from and as I've stated, are more than willing to help their customers design the type of house they'll be happy living in for a long time!
