Clareville Residence

<div><p class="MsoNormal">We certainly were honored when the homeowners of the Clareville residence (built by Jeff Segard with interiors by Julie Holmes) had these kind words to share:</p><p class="MsoNormal">We had a great experience working with Wayne and the entire crew at Visbeen Associates.<span> </span>We had a very narrow lot to work with, so when we decided to tear down our small existing cottage and build a new lake home, we knew we needed professional help to make the most of our space.<span> </span>In our initial meeting, Wayne listened carefully to what we were trying to accomplish, and started drawing out ideas even as we spoke.<span> </span>At the end of a very interactive three hour session, we had an initial floor plan concept and renderings of both the front and back elevations.<span> </span>It was really exciting as we literally watched our vision becoming a reality right before our eyes.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">With Wayne’s original drawings in hand, the team at Visbeen took it to the next level; creating the detailed drawings and engineering specifications needed to actually build our home.<span> </span>Once we had agreement on the floor plans and exterior elevations, we went back to Visbeen Associates with our builder for several sessions where we worked out the particulars of the interior architecture.<span> </span>Those sessions were also very interactive and Wayne’s drawings were extremely helpful to us, our builder and our interior designer.<span> </span>They helped us visualize what the interior spaces could end up looking like, and begin to see how we would actually live in the space.</p><p class="MsoNormal">I would highly recommend Visbeen Associates to anyone, and, in fact, I already have.<span> </span>We had an altogether wonderful experience working with Wayne and his team, and we couldn’t be happier with the end product.<span> </span>We simply love our new home.<span> </span>It’s everything we dared to hope it might be.</p></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZUiOIXXmbnzJrnr9O9WOFtqrt248ZmvtEO-Yb75hCeVHNXtMsKyGM_TOBETfE01fiLyNws0zdbmXq967Q5MnD2TggwsL-kZ16qA2Wi0vQO00mriwZay2fe8x6WG3e0XXqqw1Baysqmgs-/s1600/BoshovenExt_2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517226796889966194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZUiOIXXmbnzJrnr9O9WOFtqrt248ZmvtEO-Yb75hCeVHNXtMsKyGM_TOBETfE01fiLyNws0zdbmXq967Q5MnD2TggwsL-kZ16qA2Wi0vQO00mriwZay2fe8x6WG3e0XXqqw1Baysqmgs-/s320/BoshovenExt_2.jpg" style="display:block;
