What our clients say
"When we decided to age in place in our current home, we consulted with Studio Z about designing accessibility into our home. Our first meeting was so thorough. Not to mention how comfortable we were working with Dawn. The team is thorough, timely, organized, professional, and oh so pleasant to work with!"
“I wanted it to be my aging-in-place home, polished and stylish and comfortable. And, I wanted some fun things. Studio Z really helped me pull it all together. The project management was great and they were such a pleasure to work with. The house ended up being beyond what I expected!”
“It was a joy to work with Studio Z. From design to supporting my builder, the team helped make the experience fun! I love how collaborative Dawn is while being sensitive to the budget. I never doubted they had my back. Very helpful to have your builder and architect on one team – Me!!
Thank you!!!”
