Report
This architect took our wish list and sketches and came back with amazing plans for an addition to our 1970s fixer upper. Friendly personality pleasant to work with on the minimal changes to arrive at exactly what we hoped for (actually better than we hoped). Drawings are done by hand which I suppose is rare at these times however we love the old school look of the result and plan to frame a print once construction is complete. We thought our project would be too small for an architect to have much impact but we could not have designed what Lynn did. So glad we found her!
