As many of you already know; we chose to relocate over the summer therefore moving my business, Turco McCarthy, LLC to north GA. I am still meeting with Atlanta and Metro Atlanta clients – I actually had two new consults in Atlanta this past week – and will be chatting with someone building a new home in Big Canoe on Friday.

I continue to appreciate the referrals and hearing about happy clients. While our professors in college taught innovative design and encouraged creative thinking, not every project is going to be an innovative master piece. I personally am happy when a client communicates that investing their time and energy to work with me was of value and the project and space meets expectations.

It has been awhile since I’ve posted a client review, but the following email arrived in my box yesterday and I have to share it.

Allyson,
I’ve been meaning to write you for over a year just to say how incredibly happy we are with the porch you designed for our house, and how nice it was to work with you.

On one hand it’s “just a porch”, but our house looks great with it — way better than it did before. We’ve also noticed that not every porch works this well, especially given that ours was an unusual design (half open / half closed, unusually deep, bolted onto an existing house) which probably had a higher risk of looking weird if someone didn’t know what they were doing.

I can honestly say I didn’t really appreciate the role of a proper architect on a small, seemingly-straightforward project like this, but beyond the technical work, it’s clear now that your aesthetic and functional input (e.g., on how deep is too deep, how to make the half/half design work, how to integrate with the house’s existing style, etc.) was critical.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that every time we look at our house we say to ourselves, “man, Allyson really did an amazing job”, and we’re grateful. _P.C.
