TESTIMONIALS

Working with Mike was a outstanding experience from start to finish. We had an old Cape Cod style home that had some quirks, had been added on to several times, and needed a lot of love. The bones of the house were there, but the size, land, and haphazard updates made over the years did not make for a simple project. Mike's attention to detail, creativity, functional design, and multiple proposals exceeded all of our expectations. Throughout the entire process, Mike was clear and consistent in his communication, highly responsive, and quick to make changes and suggestions based on our wants and needs. The collaboration and professionalism made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. The final design is exactly what we had imagined and more. It kept the character of the original house while giving us the updates we were looking for, adding thoughtful elements that will bring us long term value. I would highly recommend Mike for anyone who is seeking an architect who is talented, reliable, thoughtful, and easy to work with. We are so thrilled with how our house has turned out and look forward to being in our house for a long, long time. Huge thank you to Mike!Read More

Michael made the most of the existing footprint, maximized the location and views, and brought creative ideas that elevated the entire project. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for thoughtful design and a great collaborator!Read More

When we embarked on the journey of designing our custom home here in Darien, we were looking for someone who not only possessed a keen eye for design but also a genuine understanding of how a family lives. What we found in Mike was truly exceptional. His sense of style, the way he understood proportion and balance, it all came together to create a home that isn't just beautiful, but also warm, elegant, and genuinely inviting. You walk through the door, and there's a sense of peace, a feeling that everything seamlessly fits. And beyond the aesthetics, the process of working with Mike was remarkably smooth. He listened intently, quickly grasping the many requests and, yes, the tweaks we had. He was easy to collaborate with, responding promptly with modifications, always keeping the project moving forward. His experience building distinctive homes truly shone through, and it meant a great deal to us that we worked directly with him on every aspect. Even the varied elevations and unusual setback requirements of our property, which presented unique challenges, were handled with remarkable skill, resulting in a home that feels perfectly integrated with the land. For anyone looking to build a home that is both thoughtfully designed and a joy to live in, I can wholeheartedly recommend Michael LoBuglio Architects.Read More
