Testimonial Andrea and Ken, Lagrange, Il

As we walk around our house, we can see the things we wanted in a floorplan - the kitchen island, the extra door into the laundry room - but we can also see where Mike helped us come up with something better than what we originally wanted - the breakfast nook, the master bath. We also look at our hallways and remember him looking at some floorplans we found on the Internet and explaining what features would make the house more expensive to build. From the very start, he had it in mind to draw the best house for our budget.

Thank you Andrea and Ken,  it was great working with you and your parents on their home next door!. MB

Testimonial Michael and Michelle, Homer Glen, Il Michael Buss Architects, Ltd.

When we decided to design and build our custom home in 2010, we met with several architects to determine the best fit.  We chose Michael Buss because he provided a different approach and blend of ideas that peaked our interest.  He was concerned about designing a home that would suit the living habits and compatibility of us as a couple.  As we worked through the design process, Michael asked many questions to determine the most suitable layout that would fit our current and future family’s needs.  He was also able to incorporate our preferences for placement of rooms based on daily living and entertaining purposes.  Michael has a good sense of humor, is very patient and is exceptionally talented.  We are extremely happy with the finished product and feel that all of our goals were met through working with Michael Buss on the design of our home.  We would highly recommend him to anyone who is embarking on this incredible journey of creating your dream house.    Michael and Michelle, Homer Glen

Thank you Michael and Michelle,  we have to visit you in spring to photograph your completed home!
