Robin was very nice and answered our questions. Her husband is a structural engineer, which we thought was great because our lot may need some input from a structural engineer so the team approach was appealing to us. We met for approximately an hour. After we left we sent an email a couple of weeks later with a few more questions and never heard back. We ended up going with a different architect. I feel like Robin is much better suited for remodels and additions rather than designing a house from scratch...not that she couldn't do it, but her recent experience hasn't been designing homes. (our emails may not have reached her and we didn't pursue her further because she didn't seem like the right match for our needs at the time.)

My husband and I were very concerned about the settling that was happening in our house. We bought the house 7 years prior and there was lots of cracking taking place in the ceiling and walls. The cracking was getting worse with time. We were to the point where we were thinking of moving because the problem concerned us so much. We called Johnston Design for their input. Cory is a structural engineer and his wife Robyn is an architect. They stayed at our house for some time surveying the issues. They looked everywhere; the attic, main floor, basement, and exterior. We were given suggestions of placing stanchion posts to better support the house. They told us how we could do it ourselves to save money. They showed us exactly where to place the posts. They were very knowledgeable. They explained the process very well. We liked them so much that we asked Robyn to design our kitchen that we were remodeling. We are still in the process of that. But, so far we couldn't be more pleased with their services.
