testimonials
CONCEPT DESIGN, RENDERINGS, MARKETING MATERIALS
"Our large nightclub on the Hudson River needed a makeover. We realized we could increase revenues significantly if we continued to run the club on weekend nights and add weddings and other events during the the times we were quiet. We had our permits in place and were doing the construction but needed someone to help to visualize the new uses to prospective clients.
We contacted Peter's office who produced design, renderings and marketing materials for all of the new uses: nightclub, special events, concert, wedding, auditorium. The renderings showed off our space brilliantly. We put them online right away and started booking new clients. Peter was easy to work with, was a clear communicator and got us what we needed in time for the holiday rush. We hope to work with him again."

HOUSE IN EL PORTAL
"I needed plans for a house we were renovating in El Portal. New bathrooms, open concept layout for kitchen and living room, windows and doors, a few structural elements … the works!
My major issue for the project was time. Peter took on the project and responded well to all of the building department needs, including complicated hurricane requirements for new rooftop equipment.
Peter worked efficiently and coordinated directly with the building department for resubmissions, and the permits came through on time. We got the job done and I look forward to working with Peter again on future projects."

COMPLEX DESIGN-BUILD
"My business does large, complex design-build projects. Peter has contributed to several land planning, commercial and residential projects in various stages of development. Our largest project together was a 120,000 square foot multifamily building. Our design team needed a senior architect to do due diligence, zoning/ code analysis and help with quality assurance. Peter also did multiple versions of the principle facade for a client as they tried to determine what the budget would allow. The project is completed and the client happy, and I am already talking with Peter about the next phase of the project. He is knowledgeable and gets me what we need in a timely fashion."
-Chad Peterson, Northern Plains Design
