DSPACE is second to none! Very thorough and responsive. They made sure we were happy. If every business worked like them, there would be many more successful businesses out there. Working with dSPACE was a great fit. We wanted to create a beach house to enjoy family time and be with our kids. Summers are an important time in life to make memoriesdSPACE gave us exactly what we wanted while accommodating the realities of site and budget. At design meetings, we were able to express our desire for something beautiful. The team translated our vision into a beautiful home that is functional, especially

Building a custom home for the first time, we had a lot to learn. It was wonderful to work with dSPACE because it felt like a journey, a learning process that they were supporting us on. Kevin and the team were great collaboratorsthey listened and really cared about what we wanted. It was a happy process that we really enjoyed. I always felt they were working on a project for us, not for a portfolio.
dSPACE helped us deliver the vision for our home. They guided us on when and where it was worth it to spend, and where we could save. For example, they modified the floor plan to be more efficient

We are so happy we picked dSPACE! After interviewing multiple firms, it was clear that dSPACE was the best choice for our project. dSPACE has the talent and expertise of a big firm and all the personalized attention and focus of a smaller boutique firm. dSPACE has a modern and fresh design aesthetic, and we were very impressed by their previous projects. We spoke to just about every reference, and they all had only positive things to say.
Tom has been our project manager and is always on top of everything. He thinks through every decision and detail. We would call Tom with a question, and within

The value added by dSPACE is tremendous. Working with them and having them as your advocate throughout the construction process is priceless. My wife and I appreciate and respect their design aesthetic, and we get along famously with the team. You spend a lot of time with your architectsmake sure you like them as people. They will likely be our first dinner guests at our new house! We chose dSPACE over the other architects we interviewed for many reasons. The biggest factor was their project management service. Throughout our entire project they effectively handled every detail. We thought
