I had a great experience working with Young Design Studio on the construction drawings for a full interior renovation of my 200-year-old property. My primary contact reached out the same day I submitted the initial contact form. Brandon and Nate were extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and patient throughout the entire process. They answered all of my questions, made revisions quickly, and worked with me to make sure the final drawings reflected exactly what I wanted. They even provided some stellar recommendations for contractors to help me with the actual work.

The quality of the work, communication, and customer service were excellent. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for architectural design services.

“Highly recommend Brandon at Young Design Studio! He designed our beautiful, four season sunroom, our paver patio, and provided advice on new siding and windows.”

It was a pleasure to work with Brandon and Maggie of Young Design Studio on our home renovation! We shared our vision for the project to preserve certain historical details of the home while creating a contemporary addition and they made it a reality, proving their expertise at both. They were professional, thorough, easy to work with and receptive to our feedback and ideas. The relationships they’ve built with local builders, engineers, and city approval boards made the whole project feel seamless, collaborative and productive. We would absolutely recommended Young Design Studio and hope to work with them again in the future.

“Brandon designed my home-and I love it! He listened to my ideas and was able to make the most of my small plot on the lake. I have received many compliments on the design of the house!”

Brandon and Maggie are wonderful people and great to work with. As a general contractor it’s important to be able to refer my clients to trusted professionals and Brandon is our go to for architectural plans and design renderings. He is very thoughtful and creative with his plans and his process is very client friendly. I will continue to partner with Brandon and his team on upcoming projects.

“Brandon and I are working on several projects together. He is extremely detail oriented and is excellent at both architecture and design. His renderings are very realistic and as a builder, it's easy for me to work off of his plans.”
