Rodell Architects

Sam and his firm designed and built a house for me. It was one of the best experiences of my life. He listened to what we wanted and needed, and did a thorough job of educating us as to the process and the options. His design won several awards, but to us the fact that the house fit like a glove and delighted us every day was far more important. I've rarely met anyone more professional or more truly interested in his clients. Sam and his firm go far more than the extra mile to give clients an extraordinary home. Sam is the gold standard for creativity, design, and professionalism.

Sam Rodell and his team designed an extensive home remodel and addition with us. We took a pre-fabricated, 1960's rancher and Sam helped us turn it into a unique, mid-century modern home in honor of my dad, who passed away. Sam listened when we asked that our home be designed to be far more energy-efficient and he paid attention to our desire to use quality, natural and non-toxic materials. During the construction phase, Sam worked closely with us and our builder to bring his design vision to life. Sam's team also helped us to select appliances, furniture and blinds. We have moved back into our home and could not be happier with how it all turned out.

Sam is extremely easy to work with. In addition to his being an excellent listener, we totally appreciate his designing our home to passivhaus standards (very energy-efficient), as well as his creative engagement and personalized approach. He is remarkably reliable, chatting with us weekly and sending his meeting notes immediately thereafter. He knows all aspects of creating a home from scratch, even given the constraints of our property. Sam is truly a master of his art.
