TESTIMONIAL "Gary Canner designed and oversaw a major renovation of the entire first floor of our 1925 Dutch Colonial home. He created an open floor plan, which involved relocating a bathroom and eliminating a supporting wall for increased flow and an entirely new look. Everything he designed is beautiful in both form and function. Gary's recommendations for layout, materials and lighting were spot on for the project. Gary insisted from the beginning that we take the time to choose every fixture, appliance, window, flooring and cabinet prior to the bidding process. He printed the detailed documents with the architectural drawings as well as with the selected items for the bid. In the end, this process kept the project on budget. Gary followed the project closely to ensure that it was completed exactly as specified. Four years later, we can honestly say there is nothing that we would have done diœerently. Gary's eye for design and attention to detail cannot be overstated. He showed vision and understanding and eœectively served not only as our architect, but as a negotiator between us as a couple as we navigated design choices. With his guidance, we ended up surviving our five-month project with smiles and living in a home we love. We could not be happier or more pleased with our newly renovated home and would unequivocally choose to work with Gary again." — LARRY AND INA BLOCK CATHEDRAL LEDGE CONDOMINIUMS This is a design/build project that adaptively reused a historic granite carriage house fronting the ocean.
