I met with Helen Lee to do a site visit on a property I was considering buying. What struck me more…read morethan anything was her deep knowledge of the building (she has designed in the building before) and her ideas for making the space livable for the way I want to live through my retirement years. Of course she was professional but she was also compassionate and caring. It was clear to me that she wanted to use her skills to design a space I would be more than happy with.

Incredible architectural and design firm Helen Lee is so…read morecreative and knowledgeable, we are always excited when we meet with her. She helped us totally remodel our home taking it from a yellow, southwest hacienda style to a fabulous sophisticated modern structure. We absolutely love our home, and think the world of Helen!!

This is an odd duck in terms of gift stores. Apparently there are a lot of architectural firms in…read morethe vicinity of this place that might create enough of a demand for a store like this. Surprisingly enough, there's a lot of cool things for sale, like an architectural history of St. Louis, as well as some diagrams and plans for new developments in the area. This feels like a functional gift shop, where information is sold, rather than trinkets. However, you can buy trinkets, but of a more sturdy quality. They have some really cool St. Louis snow globes available, and some architectural models for the more adventurous hobbyist. I would suggest this to Downtown visitors who are acclimating themselves to St. Louis. It's actually quite informative to glance at the architectural history of the area before venturing off into other parts of the city.

The AIA is the professional organization representing Architects. They have a very nicely designed…read morestorefront on Washington Avenue that functions both as their office and a bookstore / gift shop. They stock many books that would be of interest for architects or those interested in architecture. But they also carry a nice array of gifts and objects d'art related to architecture. As an example, they have some nice postcards, 3d building puzzles, models, paintings, etc. They tend to feature artwork done by local architects such as sculptures or photographs. Anyway, it is a nice little place to take out-of-towners if you are downtown - especially if looking for some St. Louis keepsakes that you can't find anywhere else in town. As a bonus, it gives you an excuse to walk around in the lobby of the Lammert Building, a restored gem of a turn-of-the-century office building downtown.

We have worked with Greg on four projects now and this was, by far, the most extensive project. We…read morepurchased a villa home and completely redid the interior. We wanted a more open floor plan, a reconfigured master suite, redesigned kitchen, redesigned bar, new fireplaces, new recessed and art lighting, new whole house audio/visual system, new screened porch, and high quality finishes throughout. We chose Greg because he delivers quality. We have had a dozen homes in four different states and built or renovated each of them. Greg has a great team of people that focus on what the customers want and work to deliver the best quality. We would choose him again!

I don't think I would want to work there, though. It's one of those "open floor plan" offices with a couple closed door offices for the "C-levels". Come'on big wigs...commit! They have a "big ass fan" on the ceiling that's labelled as such that looks awesome and industrial.

Chris, his wife and his supervisors make sure all the work if of the highest quality. The cabinets and granite countertop with back splash are spectacular. They took an odd, interior room with no windows and turned it into a highlight of my home. Who could ask for more? AND their pricing was quite reasonable. Construction projects always feel costly, but for the price, I got an amazing upgrade to my home.
