The following are quotes and comments from clients about the services of Leo Mieles Architect:
"It is a true joy working in the kitchen. Everything has a place and there is a place for everything. The flow is perfect! Sam calls the kitchen Gwen’s lab…" - Gwen
"We all live and work from the house. The new office has turned out to be a godsend. [The] garden in the back is starting to fill out nicely." - Jed
"It's simple but elegant and not boring / ordinary! Thanks, I knew you'd come through :-)." - Jeni
"Leo translated our dreams and desires into a thoroughly modern, practical home that has a certain elan and presence - an architectural sensibility that we could not have achieved otherwise. His thoughtful, perceptive approach drew out our concerns and our hopes, and his training and skills produced a truly beautiful space that met our needs." - Brian and Jessica
"We have appreciated both the quality of your work, your attention to details but as importantly your quick response ensuring the project moved forward as fast as the weather and suppliers would allow." - Diana
"Having recently completed a sizeable home renovation requiring permits, zoning approval and extensive construction, I can confidently say that Leo was the right architect to shepherd me through the process. He kept both budget and aesthetics in check, and was creative in finding solutions for everything from making use of dead space for storage to choosing cost effective materials. Working with Leo was a pleasure, and I would look forward to working with him on any future projects." - Jessica
"We hired Leo to design a custom kitchen and coordinate the structural engineering required to remove a structural wall in our house. We asked mainly for two things: to introduce an open concept to the main floor and to find more storage space. Leo was able to plan the kitchen so that there was new storage space under the nearby stairs and above the peninsula, while allowing the prep area to face the living room. It has made a big difference to our house. The layout is great for entertaining, and we are quite happy with it." - Shawn and Lori
"We were in need of an architect to guide us through a home renovation that, considering our inexperience, was clearly too complex for us. Leo came recommended by our contractors who had worked with him before.
He walked us through the entire renovation process, very clearly explained the nature and scope of the work and laid out the various stages of supervision and quality control we could expect. After carefully determining what we wanted, Leo quickly produced a set of drawings showing exterior alterations and interior renovations. He enabled us to get our building permits without complications.
Apart from his creativity, we very much appreciated his level of professionalism and reliability, which stood out amongst the people involved in the renovation. Furthermore, especially during such a stressful experience, it was nice to be able to work with someone who was always friendly and courteous and never rushed us. We are happy with the results of Leo`s work." - Patrik and Deanna
"Leo was very responsive during the design phase, providing several design options for us to feedback into as needed on the facade and interior of our home. Leo also led the Committee of Adjustment approval process and it was granted without difficulty. Leo worked alongside the builder to ensure architectural specifications were followed and met. After living in our addition for a few years, we continue to be very satisfied with the results." - Sonya and Roe
"After six years, our freehold townhouse was proving too restrictive for our family's needs, but we loved its location in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood and were loath to move. Our solution was to build an addition to the rear and comprehensively renovate the remainder of the house. Given a landlocked site in a neighbourhood famed for the success of the planning process that created it, and where no one had ever built a major addition to any of the properties, Leo's professionalism, support and guidance through the approvals process - ultimately at the Ontario Municipal Board - were essential to making the project happen. The creativity he brought to the subsequent detailed design phase of the project, his willingness to tackle the complex site constraints, and his willingness to work with us to realize our program objectives were essential to making the project a success. During the construction period, Leo worked with our contractor to ensure a smooth build. We have been very pleased with the result." - Anthony and Claire
