Kind Words

  • We took on a challenging project to reconstruct our garage and add an upper level ADU. Stuart helped us with all phases of design, securing town approvals, and construction oversight. The project had some obstacles, but Stuart made it an enjoyable and interesting process. He showed outstanding expertise with building codes and zoning bylaw knowledge. He was efficient and helped guide us with smart budget decisions. He handled it all with quiet confidence. We could not have done the project without him, and I highly recommend Stuart’s services.

  • The contractor we hired to modify our 1865 house to make it more suitable for aging in place suggested that we ask Stuart Parsons to design the renovation. This turned out to be a terrific idea, since Stuart brought a deep understanding of both architecture and aging to the project. After really listening to our concerns and making thoughtful recommendations, Stuart came up with a couple of options and was available to us and the contractor as the design we chose was built. We were and continue to be delighted by how the renovation turned out.

  • Stuart helped my wife and I design our dream house on the outer Cape. Designing a new home was a new experience for us and Stuart helped guide us with great recommendations to build an extremely sturdy and functional 2nd home. I would strongly recommend Stuart as he is easy to work with, timely, professional and will advise at the right times, while doing a good job capturing your own personal ideas.

  • Stuart Parsons was the architect for our house renovation. We relocated our master bedroom and bath (on the second floor) as well as our laundry room (in the basement) to the first floor so we could remain in our house as we get older. We were unable to find a new home that offered the first-floor layout that we wanted. Stuart created a floor plan that converted our dining room and guest bedroom to a first-floor master bedroom and bathroom. In addition, he designed an addition to accommodate a laundry room and walk-in closet. We love our new space! It is very comfortable and there is room for everything. We can now age-in-place!
