Re:Placement Design

I had an extremely enjoyable experience working with Marco! He helped design a laneway home for me, not only was his thoughts on the design and layout on point but he was extremely responsive which unfortunately I have found is missing with a lot of architects. Marco laid out a plan and timeline and hit every target for me. I am really really happy with him and his firm. Looking forward to working with you again on the next one Marco! Thank you!

We used Marco Razzolini from Reside Homes Inc. to provide us with 3 dimensional elevation drawings of our 4 story home renovation project. Since this was happening in the middle of the COVID pandemic, we met over zoom with him and our builder to review his drawings and tweek the design. Marco's input and design vision was spot on with our dream project. He helped us visualize our final project so we could see the end result and work out design and technical details. He provided us with excellent 3 D drawings of all views of our project and also provided us with his design recommendations to make it a perfect home. He was quick with his response time, very willing to work with our builder and went above and beyond what we asked for. He provided us with additional resources such as sourcing materials which was invaluable. We would highly recommend Reside to take on your dream project. Now that the renovation has begun, he continues to reach out to see how the job is progressing. Amazing customer service! Mark and Tina

I really enjoyed working with Marco and the team on my laneway suite. From the very beginning of the project they were clear and concise as to what they were going to offer and made it very easy for me to understand what the building process was going to look like. They had many creative ideas and worked with me to create a suite that is exactly what I wanted. In every project there are always hiccups that come, and in my case they dealt with them quickly and in a professional manner. I would highly recommend the team, and best of all they had the most competitive pricing. Would definitely work with them again.

I worked with Reside to understand the possibilities of my site and design concepts for two detached homes. The team at Reside was incredibly thorough in understanding my wishes for the property/designs and providing detailed solutions that exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking to build a new home.

We recently did a complete renovation and third floor addition with Re:Placement design and could not have been more pleased with our experience. Erik listened to everything we thought our old house was missing and what was on our wish list. He then came back to us with great recommendations. When it came to pick out interior finishes Sam was a huge help. It really felt like we just hit the "easy button" when we dealt with the team at Re:Placement Design

We recently completed a home renovation working with re: placement Design Inc. The project began with amazing architectural design and planning by Principal Designer Erik Calhoun, who introduced us to In-House Designer Samantha Gladstone. Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with and a key partner throughout the process - offering exceptional design guidance, insights and ideas. She was always available to offer her support, great vendor suggestions and design solutions - with confidence, a calm presence and a smile. We recommend the re: placement Design team who were consistently mindful of our budget and needs, delivering superior design expertise and partnership.

I worked with Sam from Re:placement Design for about 4 months and would highly recommend her. I was interested in redecorating my rental apartment to make it feel more like my home but with the restriction that being a rental there were several features I was unable to change. Sam spent sufficient time at the start understanding my needs and preferences and made recommendations that reflected our discussion and my budget. I wasn’t familiar with the various outlets and sources in Toronto and Sam was able to direct me to stores that stocked items that were appropriate both in style and price. She responded promptly to emails and in many cases was able to save me money by using her professional discount. The end result is that I am very pleased with my apartment and it feels like home!

I recommend Erik Calhoun and Re:Placement Design Inc. to all of my clients looking for architectural drawings for their renovations. Erik is very talented and excels at marrying old houses with more contemporary design. His work is very timely, Erik is extremely knowledgeable about construction and the Toronto building requirements. Whether you're looking for architectural plans that you can run with, or a full design package, I would recommend Erik without hesitation.

We would have never been able to complete our garage and landscaping project without Erik's help. His knowledge of city by-laws, protocol and processes enabled us to finally obtain the outside space we have always dreamed of. Erik is kind, courteous and always makes time for his clients. He fielded my endless string of phone calls, emails and texts; always responding the same day. I would highly recommend Re:Placement Design

We have worked with Re: Placement design and are currently working with them now. Their team is extremely attentive and have always been great to work with. They always keep the clients needs, budget and schedule a priority while maintaining a very strong sense of design and style. We would and do recommend Re: Placement design to anyone looking for a great local design team.

We have worked with Re: Placement Designs many times in the past. Our most current project with them was an interior renovation; removing load bearing walls, new kitchen design on the first floor, and new master ensuite, walk in closet, and second bathroom on the second floor. Their plans were well produced, they listened carefully to the clients needs, and was always available for questions. Any changes that were required were quickly made. We always appreciate working with them, and so do their clients!

I have worked with Erik on two larger scale projects and as a regular consultant on all things house related since purchasing our Seaton Village home in 2006. I am enclosing pictures from the basement renovation, which was the first renovation we did with Erik. Erik is one of the most incredible professionals I have worked with. What is completely unique is the flexibility of services and attention that he offers. Being a trained architect, Erik is able to completely offer drawings, permits, engineering and design perspectives that are absolutely necessary for a successful, beautiful and efficient design job. He is also completely flexible in terms of how little of how much he will interfere or offer with an project. We have consulted with him for one hour to get a overview of what might help us, how to arrange things for better flow, or how to plan long term for a project. He never once pushed us into any projects, never pushes products, and is incredibly supportive if you need more help than you originally thought. His sensitivity to client needs and demands make him unique and invaluable as a consultant. For the specific project for which pictures are attached, we showed Erik the empty basement in our desired house and he was able to determine with amazing accuracy the cost and time frame needed to complete a basement suite. Every question along the way that we had he was responsive to, and patient. He was incredibly valuable as a middle man with the contractor, and helped us to find the contractor necessary for the work. Our basement is beautiful, and desirable as a rental unit. He maximized the space and was open to discussing ideas and materials, weighing budget and value carefully. The basement was finished in almost record time because of his attention to working with the contractor when we needed the extra push, and his going above and beyond when we were in a time crunch and needed to find the right materials. Since this renovation in 2006, Erik has worked with us on a rejigging of our house flow. We spent a minimal amount on remodelling our bathroom to include laundry, for which he found us an excellent contractor to do a small project, and revamping the home for a family, which is what we now have since buying the house in 2006. Erik is the person to go to if you don't know what or if you want to do something to your home, but know it needs help. His imagination, knowledge and professionalism are of the highest standards, and we are looking forward to working with him on future projects both large and small.
