Bio
Mary Steffen
In 2005 we decided to do a kitchen addition to our existing kitchen. We added 8 feet onto our kitchen. It was nice to have our son Nathan who was in the business to do our drawings and give us suggestions for our new kitchen. He had great innovative design ideas that we would not have known about without his expertise. The drawings were very accurate and helpful for our contractor and us as we worked on and completed the kitchen. The finished product is like a kitchen from "Better Homes and Gardens" thanks to Nathan's experience and help.

We hired Nathan to take our dreams and put them on paper for our retirement home, being mindful to merge our lifestyle with our lot constraints and need for maximizing the view. He was able to design a home we are completely happy with. We were most impressed that he was able to listen to what we wanted, hear what we said, and then added his creativity to design a very liveable floorplan. Nathan was very easy to get along with, and with his interest in all phases of our project we feel he is a very capable and complete architech. He has a good idea of how long things will take. He never promised us things he couldn't deliver, but always delivered what he promised. Should we need further architectural expertise, we would call Nathan.
