As we described the house we wanted to build and went through our sketches and photos with Chris, it was like he could read our minds. What he put down on paper, and ultimately turned into construction drawings, was amazing. His ideas and suggestions for improvements to our design were most helpful. He was very responsive in getting back to us with answers to our questions during the design process. We are delighted with the performance by GLA and will certainly recommend you to anyone interested in doing a custom build. We would be happy to talk with any of your prospective clients.

This is my first experience building a home and Chris made it easier! He listened to my needs, suggested modifications that improved the design, took time to explain things, and answered all my questions. When I communicated via email he responded quickly. Tammy, the secretary, was always friendly and responded after office hours to send me a pdf. I have already recommended Greater Living Architecture to a friend and will happily do so in the future.

I would like to highlight our extreme satisfaction in dealing with Chris Bonanno and his firm. He was very creative, listened to our key design and functional needs and was always available and responsive to our input, and met all dates during the process of completing the final plan. We would highly recommend Chris and Great Living Architecture!!!

Chris Keil and the Greater Living Architecture Team have done an extraordinary job for me. I have had 3 projects for them and they deliver every aspect of the design with no modifications required.
I presented them with an addition for my kitchen and porch and they completed the design, got it out to me and the contractor very quickly and we had stamped plans to go ahead for approvals.
After buying my home I learned that Greater Living had actually designed my home for the builder. A GREAT JOB!!! I've been very happy and would recommend them to design any project, large or small.

Roger at Greater Living worked with us on a full remodel of a new office space. He was professional and very responsive which is what you would expect, his vision for the space and the various options that he brought to us is what takes him to the next level. Our space turned out great, thank you Roger and everyone at Greater Living Architecture.
