Testimonials from our vermont architectural design company - quotes and comments on our home design, green building development, vt commercial architecture, and sustainable energy buildings.
"Liz took the time to really listen to us when we first discussed the style and function of the home we wanted to build. She came up with a plan for a 'contemporary cottage' that was perfect-we loved it from the beginning. She maintained open, honest communication throughout the design and building process. She has a natural sense of creativity and aesthetics, as well as expert technical knowledge and integrity. She was a complete pleasure to work with."

"While the experience of a renovation is filled with many challenges, we were pleased to find that working with Liz was the highlight... The design process was organized and grounded in reality. Liz understood our budget limitations and our aspirations for the project. Shesurprised us with a layout concept for the project that we hadn't previously considered. This made our budget go further and our overall design more accommodating and delightful... We couldn't be more pleased with the contribution Liz made to our home. With her help we turned our fixer-upper into an inspirational place we don't want to leave. We will go back to Liz when we are ready for phase two."

"Liz Herrmann came to our project with tremendous excitement and enthusiasm which was exactly what we needed... we had attempted a few other architects and design-build folks and kept walking away discouraged and frustrated. We had what seemed like to us ,insurmountable design problems. Liz very quickly saw the issues and resolved them. She then helped us from soup to nuts on every front..her eye for detail is fantastic and her style is both respectful and encouraging. We loved working with Liz and now we live in a wonderfully comfortable, well-lit, beautifully designed home. Liz also brought withher the most talented and committed builders (Silver Maple Construction), with whom we created a terrific team approach to our project. Now that it is over our family misses all of them.."

"Our builders, Salamander Construction, highly recommended Liz for our project. They said she would put the vision of her clients in the forefront. Liz was able to take our initial ideas and work with us throughout the process to create the home we want to stay in for the majority of our lives. Our house is a solid structure that fits well with the landscape and looks at home in Vermont. On the inside, she incorporated fantastic storage and shelving, and she did an excellent job of creating well-sized rooms and maintaining proportion throughout the house."

"The relationship between an architect and a builder can sometimes be a tricky one. However, when it works well a project has a far greater potential to be efficcient, affordable and most importantly, spectacular. Our experience working with Liz has been nothing but positive. Our clients have invariably been impressed with her ability to bring her talented eye to their projects while still managing to design within the scope of their budgets and desires. From a builder's perspective, I have always been impressed with her knowlede and respect for out "nuts and bolts" side of the business and how easy she is to deal with on the practical, day-to-day problem solving that comes with any project. Liz is both a pleasure to work with and a professional who consistently produces beautiful work."
