Working with Randy has been an outstanding experience. From the very beginning, he showed an…read moreincredible amount of patience -- and trust me, he needed it! We changed our minds many times: details, entire rooms, layouts we thought were "final," only to realize later that we didn't want them at all. Each time, instead of getting frustrated, Randy encouraged us to keep exploring until we found the version that truly felt right for our family. What impressed us the most was how calm, supportive, and positive he remained throughout the whole process. He never made us feel like we were asking too much. On the contrary, he inspired us to dig deeper into our ideas and not settle until we were genuinely happy with the design. Another huge plus: his responsiveness. He always got back to us quickly -- sometimes within hours -- and the entire process moved faster than we ever expected. His drawings were clear, thoughtful, and beautifully aligned with the vision we were slowly discovering along the way. If you're looking for a designer who is patient, talented, extremely reliable, and genuinely invested in helping you create a home you'll love, we cannot recommend Randy enough. He truly went above and beyond for us. -- Kate & Martin

I should've looked for the reviews before I took a recommendation on this place…read more They don't listen, they make you pay for every mistake they make, it took months and months to get this done, and it was a simple remodel. I don't know if the guy I worked with didn't understand, or what the problem was, however, after meeting time after time on phone and on zoom, I still got the wrong work consistently. Now that we have submitted the plans for permits, we're still catching more mistakes. How is this place even in business ?

This was one of the worst experiences of my life!!!! Not only does Nicola Johnson have…read moreridiculously overpriced fees, but she will try to nickel and dime you every chance she gets. Nicola started out compassionate and caring until she got her final payment then she become difficult to work with. I got denied county approval with her first set of plans, finally a month or so later she got around to correcting it and gave new plans. Come to find out when I start the construction process not only did she not include the mechanical pages but she then wanted to charge me again to have them done, Not to mention every sub-contractor I had out to help me or give me a quote had nothing but negative things to say about her plans. Please save yourself a lot of money and a huge headache and use somebody else besides Nicola Johnson.

EMPAD is a commercial focused architectural firm with offices in the Mercury Insurance building on…read moreUlmerton Road. The firm designs stores such as Dollar Trees, Publix, as well as local business plans such as Green Bench Brewing's new building, as well as lots of other projects including public storage buildings which are certainly not the most glamorous but are interesting none the less for the challenges they pose to make them as attractive as possible and to blend in to areas while still being functional. The architects at the firm were very friendly, easy going, and generous with their time so I can see why they've been successful and are building a great practice with returning clients. Their office is in a modern office building overlooks great green expanses of green mangrove below endless blue sky. They've worked in various materials and design features showcasing materials and design element options for clients. If I needed a new storefront on a budget but wanted it to have curb appeal these guys would be a solid choice. I was impressed with the extent of their work and they seem to deliver well fpr their clients.

Total scam business…read more Contracted with him to design a kitchen to include design plans, structural design work to remove a bearing wall, and design front and rear porch with steps. From the get go, plan dimensions were wrong and never verified in the field, cabinet sizes were not standard and to the height we selected. We even told him the sizes we wanted. Being a retired carpenter by trade, I knew what I was talking about. The owner said he was a registered architect in Kentucky when he was not, nor registered in Florida. He has no structural engineer that works for him either. Architectural and engineering plans, along with a building permit that was to take eight weeks total was still in a schematic phase after seven weeks. He blamed me for a difficult design and that was why the time took so long. Problem was he didn't know how to design cabinets. For example, he called for a standard sink base cabinet which is 36" to be 37". Other base cabinets in plan were not standard sizes and had multiple filler strips attached. Poor design. What took him seven weeks to attempt to design was done by a local cabinet store in five hours. When I complained and wanted money back I was told my $4500 dollars was non refundable as per my contract. Now I have to take him to court to try to get my money back. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. This was nothing but a scam business with no experience. I tried to resolve this amicably with him but all I was told is money is non-refundable. See you in court Donathan Sweat, SR.

This is an influential architecture firm in Tampa that has been doing innovative projects for…read moredecades. I got a tour of the office and to meet the partners during a recent American Institute of Architecture firm crawl. Garcia introduced the firm's history and organization. He then walked us through the design process for one of their projects. I was very impressed with his mastery of the design and all the considerations involved as well as his ability to explain the design and its features in a clear and easily understandable way. He teaches USF architecture students as a side project and I imagine he's a popular professor. We also got to meet Sol Fleischman. Kind of a legend. It's great to see an important firm with great tradition that is continuing to innovate. They showed us how they use laser printers to create 3-D models of their designs. Pretty nifty. Their buildings are around Tampa and in other areas. I loved the way they considered the way the site and natural features related to the building they designed for a medical office and integrated the wetlands and views. They also consider organizational and functional issues such as the way people move through a building and how best to make people comfortable using it so it works best. Based on my experience I would definitely recommend them. It was super fun to meet the architects and learn about the firm and some of its many projects. New as well as renovations.

The guy (Brian) at Envisualize Design interprets the ideas and vision of business owner with impeccable precision, and some times he taking simple concepts and turn them in to very creative pieces.

After we purchased a 2000 sq. foot building in S. Tampa, we consulted Mr. Brian Seufert to redesign…read morethe space to make it suitable for a medical clinic. The space had been owned by accountants and was basically a box with a few offices and a conference room. Turning it into a medical office with a lab, exam rooms, administrative offices and a break room would be a challenge. But this in reality was a very small project and was obviously not going to generate a high fee. Brian never treated us as if we were a small project. We were very impressed with Brian's attention to detail, professionalism and warm, friendly personality. He took time to tour our old office and question us on our daily routines so that we could improve upon the design of our old space. He emphasized the impact of thinking through the motions of a typical day so that we could work as comfortably and efficiently as possible. Every detail was considered, down to the way each exam room door opened. He reversed the doors so that when the Dr. walked in, the patient would not be seen by anyone in the hallway. He made sure that we had enough space for charts and then a lot more to allow for growth of the practice. He handled the contractors like a seasoned diplomat and kept in close contact with us throughout the awful permitting process (which delayed our opening by 6 months). After the work was finished and we opened, he checked on us several times to make sure everything was o.k. He stopped by a few years later to see how we were. It has been about ten years since we finished our project. We still get compliments on how nice our office is and how well laid out and inviting it is. We have called him a few times over the years with questions and he always has time for us. He provides exceptional service. Our project was a small job but he treated us as if it were a million dollar project. His integrity, breadth of knowledge, talent and competence make him an easy choice for anyone in need of a talented architect.
