Testimonials

Jennifer F. – Mount Vernon, OH

“Turkel Design delivered on the process. We weren’t just handed a design and left to have it built. The team was as invested as we were in ensuring that the home turned out as promised. This is our forever home, to live in comfortably with our children, after they leave the house, and when we’re older. We can definitely see the house growing with us and suiting us for a long time.” 

Bob B., Aspen, CO

“The goal of having a home that blended the outdoors and the indoors seamlessly was accomplished beyond our wildest expectations.”

Josh D. – Mill Valley, CA

“As an experienced developer, I thought I knew a lot about design and construction. However, Turkel Design demonstrated an entirely new level of knowledge and capabilities. It didn’t matter that we were on the other side of the country. 

They were able to get through one of the most challenging design review municipalities that I have ever experienced—and understand how to design an exceptional home with a comprehensive holistic vision.”

Susan M. – Greenville, SC

“Our site is in a designated ecologically sensitive area, so minimizing the building impact was very important. Turkel Design’s use of precision fabrication was the perfect solution.

Turkel Design arrived on site and began working with us on the placement and orientation of the house. Their design placed the house into the hillside so that it blends seamlessly in the mountain. The team even guided us with interior choices, including cabinetry and fixtures. The result is a house with breathtaking views that blends organically on the mountain.”

Don G., East Mulmur, ON

“Friends come to the house and say it’s the most beautiful house they’ve been in. And we just love looking at the design.”

Maggie C. – New Paltz, NY

“We love our Turkel Design home. The building process was fun and I really wouldn’t have done anything differently. Visitors are constantly amazed. When it snows, it is like living in a snow globe, and I no longer mind the rain as the many windows keep it from ever getting gloomy. The overhangs prevent unwanted sun in the summer and allows more natural light in the winter. We still pinch ourselves that we get to live here!”

Brenden M. – Hillsdale, NY

“I worked with Turkel Design on three projects in upstate New York, which were entirely designed and facilitated remotely using online tools and screen-share meetings—making the design process smooth and accessible from wherever I happened to be. I appreciated their systems approach, and how they pushed the boundaries of the systems to create inspiring spaces. They were mindful of the environment without sacrificing lifestyle or good design. In fact, one of the homes became NAHB Emerald Certified in New York and was the 2012 recipient of the NAHB Building Systems Councils Best Green Built Home Award.”

Rena L. – Toledo, OH

“My husband and I had tried working with another architect before Turkel, but we did not get beyond the planning stage as there were too many disconnects regarding budget, scale, and timetable. With Turkel, however, the process was streamlined, with reasonable certainty regarding cost and timetables. 

The Turkel team paid attention to how we planned to live in the house and crafted solutions that really work for us. We love our new home and feel so fortunate that we actually get to live here.”

Will S. – Martha’s Vineyard, MA

“I was surprised at the efficiency; it went up fast, and everything was straight, plumb, and square. To stick-build this home would have cost 25% more here on Martha’s Vineyard.”

Jon E. – Jackson Hole, WY

“Working with Turkel Design and leveraging their expertise in off-site prefabrication significantly enhances precision and predictability. By minimizing on-site variables, we can deliver projects more efficiently and with greater accuracy—an invaluable approach in the demanding building environment of Jackson Hole.”
