The final/technical hard-lined architectural drawings, with all the build information you will need for competitive bidding/permits & build.

Let's Talk
What Our

clients say.

"It has been our absolute pleasure to work with Lars Schless. His patience, perseverance is only surpassed by his knowledge and creativity. His designs and suggestions addressed a great deal of the details which made the construction go very smoothly. We embarked on a very complex garage and deck with a lot of features and demands and Lars was able to include them all. We recommend Lars Schless to anyone who is seeking, creativity, knowledge, patience and attention to detail." Louis Castelli, Ph.D. Creative Director / Principal ARK MEDIA "Laurits collaborated with us in the rethinking of our townhouse first floor, developed a project design and budget for us, worked out structural and construction issues, provided construction drawings, and guided us in the selection of good contractors with whom we enjoyed working. We now have a new backyard, kitchen, and bathroom that we love. And rear exterior walls and windows that are maintenance free and energy efficient. We enjoyed working with Laurits and plan to use him on future projects."

He has a mastery for designing a space and was very successful at leveraging his vast experience and broad range of knowledge to consider all elements of the project. He worked easily with us and our contractor to ensure a precise and timely completion of our renovation."
