"Brian and his team are full of great ideas - eager to collaborate, and they bring a culture of teamwork to their projects. Brian’s approach to coordination, problem solving, and taking advantage of opportunities is to roll up his sleeves, figure it out, and press on as a General Contractor, it's a breath of fresh air to have this type of support and direction from an Architect..."

"We are currently working on our 2nd project with Brian and his team. I have worked with few design firms, over the course of my career as a general contractor, that offer the level of expertise and attention to detail that Vessel Architecture has offered on both projects. In addition to the outstanding quality of their design, Vessel’s willingness to be a collaborative partner has benefitted the client, the contractors and the overall success of the projects."

I found it a pleasure to work with Brian and Peter who were both very professional, easy to work with, and sensitive to the constraints of the church budget.

"This morning while L was at school, I tacked some picture hangers up under the rocket and draped a string of holiday lights about 6 feet up inside. Early out today, so after his lunch I brought him in to the corner (bubble light off, wall panel off) and laid down on the floor next to him, clapping my hands and making noises. He took a few seconds to see the lights up inside, then his dimples showed, growing into one of his classic toothy grins of happiness. L put his stockinged feet up on the mirror and settled in for a noise fest. For awhile he did his tongue clicking routine, and here I am at the other end of the house and can hear him clapping as I type. If there is ever a time when you want to show a client what can be done for children, feel free to bring them to L's room. Words can't express my gratitude."

"Working with Vessel has been a wonderful experience for our church. Their ideas are fresh and creative but within the constraints of our budget. In fact, their solutions to our problems saved us a lot of money. They have met repeatedly with our committee and have been clear, organized, and patient. They have shown sensitivity to the culture of our church and the personalities of our people, and their diplomacy has avoided some potential problems on the committee. I highly recommend Vessel!

“Based on my experience I would highly recommend Vessel. Their ability to work with us through a major remodel of an existing historic structure and produce a set of drawings that reflected our desires for using the space was second to none. Their input was helpful in every phase of the project - their knowledge and expertise extended beyond simply generating drawings. This was especially helpful in our case because the complexity of our project required 'build to suit' drawings. Vessel was regularly on site during the demolition and construction phases of our project and was instrumental in seeing the project through. For any future projects I would feel no need to look further than Vessel.

“Pete was great to work with. Our case wasn't cut and dry and he was very patient and accommodating. He gave us a lot of good options and remodeling strategies and was very helpful in not just getting the right initial plan, but in making sure the plan worked (codes, contractors, etc). He was very friendly and demonstrated a good balance of interpersonal skill and technical knowledge.”

“We were impressed from the beginning. The design aspect was of course the basis upon which the project was grown. Your architectural expertise transformed our rough conceptualization of expanding and enhancing our home. The plans laid out were simple, yet elegant. You were open to our wishes and diplomatic with the real constraints as they presented. Everyone has a notion of how they want their project to be, but most would not know where to begin. Your skills provided that first important step. Thanks for everything.”
