Stubbs Residence reaches substantial completion
"It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Brian to develop a design to renovate our 1905 home. I stress "working with", as Brian was able to take our rough ideas and quickly and effectively hone in on the objectives that we were trying to accomplish and aesthetics that we were trying to create. He then brought his substantial expertise and great eye and created something that we could have never dreamed of. We couldn't be happier. We feel quite honored to have such an effective and thoughtful partner in this project."
