Our previous Architect fell off the face of the earth and our project was stalled. Joe at JFF Design Architects stepped in and had final plans for our project in less than two weeks! He is very knowledgeable and thorough.

We met with several architects, and we are delighted to have selected Joe Fournier from JFF Design Architects. From our very first meeting with Joe, we could clearly see he empathized with our concerns and the issues we were facing with our home. Joe is knowledgeable and resourceful; he understood our vision and the gradual steps needed to complete our renovation. Joe provided valuable consultation, he was also creative, practical, patient, and a problem solver. He provided us with a detailed drawing that accounted for every space, and wonderful ideas for us to consider. We are overjoyed with our home, and we highly recommend Joe.

Joe was very helpful with the designing of a replacement garage. It was a difficult layout with many restrictions. He worked very hard for us to achieve what we needed to have. We would recommend him for any design project.
