Residential Testimonials

“FDA listened to our family’s needs, and then translated those desires into an efficient and practical, yet gorgeous, design which will serve us for years to come.”

“FDA provided much inspiration while also being a good listener.”

“Our project entailed extensive and complex changes. Now that their design is built, we’ve forgotten the complexity and love the elegance of our house.”

“As a working mother of two little ones, the split-level mudroom that FDA designed has saved my life.”

“In addition to invaluable and efficient navigation of the City’s construction approvals, FDA brought environmental credentials.”

“Our new house project exceeded our high expectations for being on time, within budget, and perhaps best of all, with no unpleasant surprises. I credit that largely to FDA’s thoroughness, creativity, and client focus.”

“We want to thank FDA for all the advice and work they put into our amazing “new” old house. It is comfortable, it is beautiful, and most of all, it is us.”

“FDA heard all our requests and lifestyles preferences and translated them into a [complete] transformation…from a small cottage house to a big family house with large windows.”

“FDA helped me turn my dream home into a reality.”

“FDA helped us gut-rehab a former church into my family’s home. It only made sense that we collaborated with them again when it was time to expand my offices.”

“I knew that FDA genuinely cared about the outcome of our project and that it met our needs.”

“As contractors, we’ve had the pleasure of working with Foster and his team on multiple commercial projects. Their design work is creative and smart which results in a beautiful, finished workspace.”
