Testimonials

Mark E. Nunnelly, client for a Beaver Creek residence
We've worked with a lot of architects, and SRI was far and away the best experience. We love our house, it is so warm and homely, but with an abounding design flair. Doug is collaborative, calm, sharp as a tack, and passionate about his work.
Curtis Krizek, client for a home in Strawberry Park and a Midwest lake cottage
I’m sitting in our hearth room looking at the beautiful creation you made. All our visitors have been at a loss for words when they first came in. One guy, who is widely traveled and has seen many wonderful architectural masterpieces, said he has never seen such a creation as this. He said you are the most talented architect in the world, and meant it. This is a comment I have heard from many people.
Kevin Sharer, client for Vail, Presidio Terrace, Bachelor Gulch & Beacon Hill/Boston residences
To say we are delighted is a gross understatement, but that is the limit of language. Thank you for all your creativity, responsiveness, effort, and care. Yes, we have a professional relationship, and this is your profession, but I also feel this is a gift from all of you...I feel lucky and privileged to be a recipient of your skill and care.
