Architecture
"Working with Korte Architecture has been a very positive experience. Brian worked through several iterations until the design exceeded my expectations. He took time to explain issues and answer the many questions I had about both the process and aspects of the design. HIs continual support of my desire to keep the project as "green" as possible both during th ebuild process and in the finished product. He was inovative when there were problems and he has continued to support the project through the build phase. I will use the firm again on the next project I have that requires design assistance."

"He was very attentive and paid attention to detail. I liked it that he spoke to you as a person and not in complicated "building code jargon". It was very easy to approach him and follow his plan. I also got a sense of trust he built which is not easy to find in this type of project."
