Our home and workspace in the Melrose district of Phoenix also has its own wood and steel fabrication shop and team that we call The Guild. We're a collective of artists, craftsmen, makers, and fabricators dedicated to creating beautiful and unique home goods in wood, steel, glass and concrete.

180 is fantastic! Working with the team was a real pleasure. I have worked with many architecture firms through my experience in real estate but this was one of my best experiences within this field. Attention to detail and client oriented approaches in design go a long way and I'm so glad to have found this team to work with moving forward.

Being a vendor of 180 degrees for the last few years has been an absolute pleasure. They always communicate well and expect a top level of craftsmanship with all of their projects which should be a great sign to any owner looking to hire 180. It is a great thing to have such a talented group in the Phoenix area. The ultimate combination of world class design with great people who truly care.

180 Degrees has a unique ability to listen to the needs of their clients and then responding with exquisite design options that are open to discussion and refinement. The result of this client centered approach coupled with their creativity and construction follow through is clearly and markedly evident in the final product. I would contact them to initiate the discussions around your unique design challenges for your home or business space and let them show you the possibilities that they can create often including ideas you may not have even considered.

My husband and I just completed an extensive renovation and addition to an existing home built in the 70’s. Basically a new build. Property in a choice location next to Camelback Mt in Phoenix.
The 180 degree design and build team was exceptional. Having completed several previous home projects, we knew what to expect. That said, the integrated design and construction process with 180 degrees delivered a high quality project second to none. The design maximized the site views, created welcoming yet memorable spaces with exceptional craftsmanship and detailing. A comprehensive early budget was
