I came across Mark Michaels and Great Designs by doing a Google search for Stony Brook Architects.  I viewed his web site and looked at the work he had done for other clients.. I was impressed so I contacted him via email with my details and received a phone call back from him later that same day.  We discussed how my wife and I had recently purchased this house and wanted to make some changes to it.  The house is on a nice parcel of land with a water views and beautiful sunsets, however it is quite unique and a bit eclectic.   The house also posed zoning difficulties as it is situated against the back of an oddly shaped lot.  Our objective was to add a first floor master bedroom and bath without losing any of the existing water views.

My wife and I met with Mark and showed him the house.  He shared his initial thoughts and observations and we agreed to take the next step.  Mark prepared a proposal for his services which we thought were quite reasonable.  We agreed to move forward. 

Mark made several visits to the house, took measurements and made notes.  He even video taped the house.  The house has two levels but the layout is one of a kind.  There are many nooks, odd shaped rooms and changing elevations.  Mark took all this information and somehow entered it perfectly into his architectural software.  He then used these tools to illustrate how the planned addition would look and its impact on the entire home.  We were able to do a virtual tour of the inside and outside of the proposed structure.  We quickly became comfortable with the design and moved to the next stage.

Mark prepared extensive building documents which we used to get contractor bids.  I also was able to walk into the building department and leave with a building permit on the first visit.  We hired a contractor and the project progressed smoothly.  Mark made frequent visits to the site and really took ownership of his work.  Several of the tradesmen commented to me how impressed they were with his passion for the project, his attention to detail and the integrity of his design.   

Well, as of this writing the project is well on its way to completion.  It has been a positive experience. My wife and I highly recommend you give Great Designs a look.

"I used them multiple times. They were knowledgeable with what they were doing. It was a positive experience."

"My first impression of Victor Siera was that he was client oriented and as soon as we discussed my dream kitchen and two bathrooms I knew his design ideas would make my dream a reality. The result was above and beyond my dreams. Victor was hands on from the beginning and throughout the project. His teams did beautiful work. He understood and addressed all the issues I expressed upon our first meeting. One of the subcontractors, Rahul Arora, and his team were amazing. Victor and Rahul’s skill sets perfectly complement each other. I would highly recommend Fluxpace. I am incredibly happy with the work that was done and the final result."
