ROBERT GERLOFF RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTS

WHEN WE FIRST MET WITH BOB, HE WAS ABOUT THE THIRD DESIGNER WE HAD TALKED TO. BOB WAS EXCITED ABOUT OUR PROJECT AND FULL OF IDEAS. HE CRANKED OUT 12 SKETCHES, ON THE SPOT, OF WHAT WE COULD DO. BY THE TIME HE HAD TIME TO WORK ON OUR PROJECT, THAT EXCITEMENT WAS GONE AND SO WERE THE IDEAS. AN ASSOCIATE TOOK ON OUR PROJECT, WITH BOB OVERSEEING IT AND ATTENDING ALL MEETINGS. IT TOOK 3 MONTHS TO MAKE PLANS THAT FINALLY COULD PASS OUR CITY'S BUILDING CODES, (SEVERAL CODES WERE OVERLOOKED) AND HAD THE STAIRWAY IN THE RIGHT PLACE. IN THE END, REQUESTED CLOSETS WERE NEVER DRAWN IN AND WE JUST MOVED ON WITH WHAT WE HAD. WE LATER FOUND A DESIGNER THAT HELPED US THINK THROUGH THE ROOM AND MAKE IT WORK AS A SPACE. IN SUMMARY WE FELT THE PLANS WERE INCOMPLETE, NOT THOUGHT OUT AND LACKED CREATIVITY.
