Neil has been wonderful to consult with! We exchanged several emails before he came to our house today for a consultation and everything in dealing with him has been professional, timely, thorough, and also personable. He walked through our home, listened to our ideas, and answered our many questions, from the very basic to the more advanced, making us feel completely comfortable even though this is our first time ever needing an architect and we are admittedly very green.
He got where we are at- real people with a young family in need of more space on a budget, and we are confident that if all goes well that's just what we'll get eventually with Neil's help. We greenlighted the process the same day as we met, and we are looking forward to working with him!
Thanks, Neil!

Thanks Michaela for the wonderful words and it was really nice meeting you and your family. Hopefully we can get everything running relatively smoothly for you and will help clarify any questions you have along the way. I know sometimes the local town requirements can be a little confusing at first but we'll certainly try to keep everything within your budget while working through what it is you'll need to make the addition a reality.

Had a great experience with Neil and 8TFive. Needed some designs for a small (really small) building I was thinking of changing into a ADU. His colleague Kaspari came up with three great concepts in pretty short order that had me very exciting moving on to the next phase. Everyone was very patient with me, seeing I had never engaged an architect before. Personal touch and professional deliverables. Hope to work with them again for building plans and construction supervision once some zoning issues are resolved.

Hi Bob, it was a pleasure working with you. Glad we were able to help paint a picture for you on what could be done with your space. Hopefully we get a chance to continue to help see this (or future other projects) thru to construction for you. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or if there are other alternatives you'd like to consider.

Neil has been an exceptional resource. He is professional, and highly communicative, answering questions and responding to emails quickly. He also creates routine check-ins that he prompts so there is nothing missed over time. I have worked with three architects in the area for large residential projects (renovations) and by farNeil has been the most responsive, actively communication and expert resource each time I have asked for a recommendation or help. He has relationships with great local builders, trusted people with great reputations and satisfied clients. I can't speak highly enough about Neil--he is quite up to date and progressive on design techniques/technology--a big help.

I worked with Kaspari and owner Neil on a new construction multifamily project in a historic district, with Kaspari handling the design on what was a very complicated approval process. They were extremely responsive and accommodating, and any changes we needed during the project were completed quickly and in a timely manner, which made a huge difference given how complex the build was. Neil and the entire Kaspari team were professional, patient, and solution-oriented from start to finish. I plan on using 8TFive Studio for future projects and would highly recommend them to anyone taking on a challenging design in a historic district.Jason Burrell, Dreams to Realty

Neil and his team did a great job helping us to figure out a 2-story addition to our house. He used industry knowledge to help us stay within budget and achieve our goals. The team offered several suggestions to meet our needs before we made final decisions. We had several contractors review the plans. All of them commented that the plans were very thorough. The contractor we selected noted that Neil and his team make this addition easy because the plans are so well done.

Hi Jessica, it was a pleasure working with you and your family. Its also great to hear the positive feedback from various contractors on the quality of the plans provided. I'm glad we were able to make it easier on them as I know the construction phase can be the most stressful part.
