Christine Kelly helped us through a project we had dreamed of for years, but for which we had no previous experience. She made repeated visits to the house to help us formulate and refine our ideas, adding many good suggestions along the way. We appreciated her patience, as well as her professional skills, and she was a delight to work with. We have been back in our house for about a year. We are enjoying our new space immensely and receive positive comments from all who visit. A project like this requires endless decision-making - we feel that hiring Christine was the best of all the decisions we made!
Description of Work: Design and plans for major home renovation. We put on 2-level addition, enlarging the kitchen and adding a master bath and walk-in closet. We added a 2nd story to another part of the house to create a library.

Description of Work: Scheduled appointments and then cancelled. Stated she had received an award winning project (apparently we wouldn't be award winning enough????)and after reviewing her work load would not have time for our project. This was after numerous emails stating she was eager to keep our appointments.

Having finished paying college tuititon, my wife and turned to major house renovations. At no initial cost, Christine patiently listened to our rather general ideas for the renovation, asked a number of questions, and then came back several weeks later with exciting design ideas. Aside from bumping out the kitchen another five feet to finally give us the counter space we so desperately needed, she suggested extending the front of the house where the front door was located. The problem she solved was the fact that there was no front porch (typical for homes in Hollin Hills) and the entry way vestibule was small and cramped. By extending the front of the house out and also adding a cantilevered roof, we not only gained cover during inclement weather, but also a small reading nook directly above the now expanded vestibule. Furthermore, once we selected a general contractor, she regularly stopped by the house to monitor the renovation process. One time she noted where a kitchen floor vent was going to be located and suggested it be moved to a more unobtrusive location. The work is now completed, and friends and family who have seen our house in both and quot;before and afterand quot; conditions are impressed with the results. We feel very fortunate we chose Christine as our architect. Other neighbors in our area who have used her services have expressed similar sentiments.
Description of Work: Christine provided architectural plans for a major kitchen renovation to include expanding the footprint and also adding an extension to the front of the house. She devised creative ideas that had never occurred to us and which have resulted in a home whose interior and exterior appearances have truly been transformed.

Christine did an absolutely super job... first giving us some rough alternatives and once we decided upon the general layout preceeded to do a detailed design utilizing the exisitng appliances/ cabinets. Since we were in Kentucky while much of this was being done she took care of all of the details fo getting permits and dealing with the County (which was not easy). She worked with the builder in our absence to help make decisions as the act5ual work progress. The end result exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier.
Description of Work: We wanted to make extensive remodeling to a 1960's single family house to make it user friendly in case of a handicaped need and to utilize kitchen and bathroom cabinets and applicances from a late model house that was also being remodeled. Christine measured all of the cabinets/appliances and came up with a design that accomplished what we wanted. She recommended a couple of builders and then corrdinated with the builder we selected and Fairfax County to accomplish the renovations
