Halcyon Architects LLC

When we bought property on Prince Edward Island, we had hoped to renovate an existing house, but it turned out to be a tear down. A friend connected us to Halcyon Architects LLC and architect Melinda Otlowski got to work. Ms. Otlowski is a great listener. Her vision for our retirement home incorporated every little detail whenever and wherever possible. If there was something we wanted that would not work or would be prohibitively expensive, she communicated her thoughts clearly, supported by information and extensive knowledge of her craft and the construction industry. We were also impressed with her flexibility; whenever we proposed a change (and some of them were huge!), she shared the pros and cons and gave us the information we needed to make good decisions. The bottom line—we could not be more delighted with our new retirement home. It has exceeded expectations at every turn. The craftsmanship and design of the house is outstanding and it all started with a great set of reasonably priced, well thought out and beautifully rendered architectural plans. Thank you Halcyon Architects and architect Melinda Otlowski!

A year ago I would not have believed that I would be able to bring my mother home, as I live in a 100+ year old farmhouse. Thanks to Mindy's vision for renovating our small half-bath into a full handicap accessible bathroom, my dream came true. It made caring for my 96 year old mom feasible. The addition looks like it's been there forever. For anyone wanting to care for their parent at home call Mindy. She's amazing.

Melinda suggested then designed a perfect enclosure for our patio. We now have a porch with glass enclosures for the winter; once spring arrives the glass panels will be exchanged for screens. The end result is elegant and functional. We could not be happier b

Every day, I am thrilled by the inspiring, attractive and supremely functional spaces that Mindy designed for my home addition (family room, kitchen bumpout and mudroom). Mindy balances creativity with practicality and expertise. She is a joy to work with and brims with integrity.
