CHRISTIE ARCHITECTURE LLC

"Christie Architecture is who I will recommend to all of our friends in Portland. We spoke with Lisa on the phone for 45 minutes and she was able to explain all the pros, cons, and costs and nuances of our project. She is very easy to talk to and an expert at home renovation. When we’re ready to do the project, we’ll call Lisa for sure!."

"We highly recommend Christie Architecture. As parents of young children we purchased a new home based on location and the lot. However, the house needed a complete aesthetic and functional remodel. We turned to an architect because we had no idea how to make our new house work for us. Christie Architecture surpassed our expectations in guiding us through the decision making process, design steps and construction, all while respecting our budget. Our lead architect was Lisa. In addition to her sharp professional design skills, she communicates exceptionally well. Our process felt very collaborative. It was easy to let her know what we liked and didn't like and yet she clearly and diplomatically let us know when one of our suggestions would not be "good design". Through the entire process it felt as though we had hired not only an architectural firm but an advocate, ensuring we got what we were hoping for. At times we see finished remodels in which the redone area looks out of place with the rest of the house. Christie Architecture is very deliberate to ensure their designs makes sense within the surroundings. They are committed to designing a cohesive, consistent, and harmonious space. At projects end, they transformed our 1960's structure with an awkward layout into a beautiful home that is a joy in which to live."

"As a design industry professional, I was immediately impressed with the Christie Architecture portfolio when introduced to their firm. I then had the opportunity to learn more about Lisa and Adam and all of their interesting project stories. They offer the perfect combination of creativity and technical expertise. I am amazed at how they have transformed numerous residential and commercial projects. I thoroughly enjoy working with them and would definitely entrust them to guide me through a design project."

"I reached out to Christie's Architecture several months ago and got in contact with Lisa. She has been an indispensable help with trying to purchase my first home and helping me with trying to select a great project that can be modified to accommodate my disabilities. Once, I select the correct candidate I will be hiring Lisa for the project. Her professionalism and desire to ensure her clients are happy is top class. The highest praise I can give is that I would happily refer Christie Architecture to friends and family for any architectural needs they might have in the future."

"I recently reached out to Lisa, who designed the upstairs in my (now 101 year) old house - 18 years ago. Yeah, I'm a little late on the review. But I wanted to let her know how well the remodel held up, how functional the design has been for us, and how much we loved the built ins. Working with Lisa really simplified the process and she did a fabulous job narrowing down all the decisions (Which sink? What fixtures? Colors? ahhhhh, I can't decide - so she would present me with 3 choices to see what worked. So much less stressful!). I had her under a lot of constraints (didn't want to raise the roof, for example...tie in with the existing hot water radiators & make a new zone...). I'm so glad I worked with her all those many years ago, and I can't imaging how amazing she must be now, with almost 2 decades more experience. Go with Lisa, you won't regret it!"
