It became a "while you're at it" project, and we wound up gutting the whole first floor, as well as the 2 upstairs bathrooms. Kevin joined us at the outset and immediately grasped our life style and our tastes and created spaces that reflect who we are and the way we live. He miraculously updated the interior while maintaining the original colonial architecture and character, creating timeless spaces. He was generous with his time and energy, giving us time to make choices and decisions, gently nudging us in another direction when he intuitively knew we would be happier with the end result. Kevin maintained a positive attitude throughout the process, buoying up us as we hit all the inevitable snags and delays, and remains a good friend and advisor to this day. He comes with our highest compliments and recommendation.

Kevin Dix designed a new build of a 3600 sq ft coastal vacation home used by my family a friends…read more He quickly understood my goals for the property and was able to translate that into an architectural design that fit the way I wanted to use the home. The house beautifully fit on the island where it is located and Kevin designed the home to take into account the best attributes of my lot. He also took care of all of the design as well with thoughtful interior finishes that beautifully fit the form and function of the vacation home. He worked from the beginning to get our feedback on the direction he was recommending and to unify the big picture decisions for the build with the details that would create the feel and style of the finished project. His vision in the architectural design was then effectively brought to life through excellent communications with the general contractor overseeing the construction after I selected a contractor using his design documentation in the bidding process. Our vacation home is a joy for my family and all of the extended family and friends with whom we share time in this special place. The design makes a wow first impression, but more importantly it has had an enduring quality for family and loved ones who love having time with one another in this home. I can't imagine how Ii would have built a vacation home like this without the vision and attention to detail that Kevin brought to the project.

I totally relied on her extremely good taste for the design, and she created simply stunning window treatments in both my dining room and master bedroom. She also did decorative pillows and other slipcover items as well as repairing several other sets of window treatments. Because of an illness in my family, I was unable to give her much direction, just told her what I needed, and she ran with it. She also hung up all my pictures and artwork. Most important, she was so nice to work with, and so supportive during a very difficult time. Her work is exquisite, with great attention to detail. She really takes time to understand what you like, what you're trying to achieve, and how to work with what you have already. I could not recommend her more highly.
