My husband and I worked with Phin and his team at MPG Home Design on drawing up schematics for two projects for our main residence. They listened to our wants, concerns, and ideas. They over delivered in options during the first round of schematics. This led to us exploring details of each schematic designs and coming up with final designs that were exactly what we are looking for. Our two projects are converting a portico to a vestibule/small mudroom and adding a bathroom in our master bedroom. After the schematics were finalized, Phin helped us reach out to several contractors so we could find

We were looking for a Home we could customize to suit our needs, as nothing on the market had exactly what we wanted. We met Mindi and Phin during this process and they went above and beyond even before we had contracted with them. They came to view several homes with us to help us decide on the property that could be everything we needed. I've never heard of any architectural firm being willing to do this, in fact no one was. That was only one of the reasons we selected them, they are so easy to work with! They listened to us and created a home that is not only beautiful but functional for us

We had just started exploring the idea of hiring an architect for a kitchen/great room renovation project. When my wife Erica came across the MPG website she called me over to her computer screen and said "Look at this!" We were both blown away by the designs we saw - elegant, rustic, stylish, eye-popping. Kind of, well, perfect. Erica called and left a voicemail that went something like, "We probably can't afford you but we'd love to chat." The next day we got a call back from Mindi and Phin, who were really concerned that we considered them "out of our league." They assured us that MPG works
