Great things our clients & collaborators say
"I’ve had the opportunity to work with many architects over the years, and without a doubt, Dawn & her team at Studio Z stand out as the absolute best. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and thoroughness are unmatched. Every set of plans we receive is clear, well thought-out, and comprehensive, making the construction process smooth & efficient from start to finish. It’s a breath of fresh air to work with a team that not only understands great design but also how it translates in the field. Studio Z truly sets the standard."
“We hired Studio Z to design an addition for our Cape Cod. Dawn had some original ideas that never would have occurred to us. We couldn't be happier with the results, and we have our dream kitchen. We were included in every step of the process. I recommend Studio Z without reservation to anyone planning of project of this nature.”
