Great things our clients say

"We worked with Studio Z on our remodeling project. Dawn asked questions to get a feel for our desires and offered ideas we had never considered that stayed within our budget. We always felt we were working on this together, not like their ideas were the only solution. I highly recommend Studio Z."

J.L., Homeowner

"Studio Z did such an expert job of matching the existing design and spirit of what was there. They listened and helped us think through how the space would really be used. The result is a space we truly love."

Homeowner, Ann Arbor

“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.”
