I wish I can say the same that DSA is responsive and professional and great at what they do. However, this has not been my experience on the current project that they helped design. Failure to overlay their architectural plans with the structural engineering drawings had resulted in multiple areas of issues during construction that cost me $$$ from the construction standpoint.

When brought to their attention, they cite "unforeseen circumstances that will always come from building a custom home". And yet had they look at both drawings closely they could see what is affected and make those changes before construction is done. Of course, they feel they are not responsible for the construction cost to fix those mistakes. For a client who has paid 100k plus to DSA you would think they would manage their mistakes better.

It took some angry emails and phone calls for them to admit their lack of communication and the promise to do better. So far, I have not seen this delivered and the project is still ongoing. Hindsight is 20/20 and I would not use DSA again nor would I recommend them to anyone who's looking to build.

We bought our beach house in 2015. We took the house down to the studs and completely rebuilt on the inside (phase 1) in 2017 and then did the same on the exterior (phase 2) in 2020. We engaged DSA for the phase 2 exterior rebuild and our they worked with us and the General Contractor every step of the way and the result was an outstanding masterpiece which is our dream house.

You can see the exterior pics below. They were involved in every aspect of the exterior renovation even the detailed furniture selections, colors, materials, etc. We wish we would have had DSA with us on phase 1 when we did the interior, but we hadn't yet found them.so we struggled and spent lots of our own time with the interior design as or GC was not equipped to handle that aspect. However, during our complete exterior renovation in 2020, the work required us to vacate the house so went back inside for some additional upgrades & modifications and DSA played an integral part of that process too, assisting us and the GC with living room, master bedroom, master bath, etc DSA is very professional and talented and we highly recommend them to be involved with your project from beginning to end.

Design Styles Architecture is an extremely professional organization and very response to customer needs. They are very informative and walk you through the complete process from preliminary design to construction completion. I would highly recommend this company for any customers looking to upgrade their existing home or design a new home.

We have had the opportunity to work with James Grady at Design Styles Architecture to redesign a mid century waterfront house. James and his team at Design Styles Associates have been excellent in their creativeness, attention to detail, cost management and patience. We would definitely use James and DSA on future projects.

DSA was a pleasure to work with. They worked fast and were cost conscious. More importantly, they listened to what we wanted to do with our new office space and came up with a creative way to renovate a dilapidated building into a vibrant, modern work space.

My company has worked with DSA on a few occasions, most recently for renovations on a large office space we purchased in 2017 to become our company HQ. DSA helped us through the entire process - suggestions and design, figuring out exactly what we needed within our budget, working directly with our contractors to ensure the renovations were being completed correctly, and meeting with city representatives on our behalf. DSA also assisted us in applying for historic status, which they completed entirely autonomously, including a full report to submit to the City.

Everything was seamless, and the designs were incredible. We even had a 3D VR model to walk through! We worked with a number of DSA's staff, and all were very professional, very quick to respond, and explained everything in an easily understandable way so we could make informed decisions. We will absolutely use DSA again for any future projects!

DSA designed our office/warehouse. They have exceeded all expectations and produced a beautiful functional space that we'll be happy with for the foreseeable future.
