Tewes design group Miami architects created the plan to bring our kitchen, basement, and deck remodel to life. And we couldn't be happier with the result! They did the design, contract negotiation, and helped with permitting and solving problems along the way. Highly recommend them.

Great team, Steve Tewes has to be the most well-versed architect in Florida. TDG completed a 200,000 sq ft project for us and they continue to be a referral I am happy to recommend.

They get right to the point. TDG has years of experience and pride themselves on speed with accuracy throughout the entire process from inception of design, to permitting and construction administration. TDG works well with, and has long-term relationships with many municipalities in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
