Alec did an outstanding job designing our new kitchen. Our kitchen was 21 years old and in serious need of an update. We had a difficult time visualizing what we could do with our current space to make it better. Alec interviewed us and took some measurements of our current layout and came up with a great plan for our new space. As soon as we saw his vision, in the computer-generated pictures he created for us, we knew this was the design we were looking for. His presentation really helped us make our decision to move forward with our kitchen remodel. We were able to eliminate a non-structural wall and install a 13-foot island which made our new island and kitchen the heart of our new great room. We feel like we are living in a new house. The change was so dramatic. Alec was great to work with and monitored the construction process from beginning to end to make sure his plan was executed well. We couldn't be happier with the results. I strongly recommend Alec and AJO Architects to anyone considering new construction or a major renovation.
