Acknowledgements

Having worked with Doug and the Reynolds Architecture team for the past 19+ years, I can attest to their unparalleled professionalism. Their expertise and knowledge show through in every project! Creativity along with precise design make them the top in their field. Crawford Supply is proud to be a partner of Reynolds Architecture, supplying them with the highest quality products in the industry.

Working with Doug and the people at Reynolds was easy, professional experience. The design and execution were both accomplished through a cooperative, client centered interaction throughout the project. The desire to make sure that the final outcome was right evident as adjustments due to the inevitable intricacies of a large rehab like ours.
All in all a good experience and are using them again.

As an interior designer, I have collaborated with my clients and Doug for new home design and construction. I truly admire his classically based aesthetic, architectural abilities and thoughtful attention to detail. His homes are a welcome addition to established neighborhoods, which is very appreciated by both this and future generations.

Doug and his team were outstanding. His attention to detail and architectural integrity were greatly appreciated. We love our home, the finished product far exceeded our vision. From the initial drawings to the final punch list we were always pleased.

I have been a long time admirer of Reynolds Architecture and the mastermind behind it all, Doug. His work adorns much of the North Shore and is done conscientiously with the ability to stand in company of architectural icons like Shaw and Adler.

The thing I most appreciate about the homes are that no detail is left to chance and they fit the landscape or period of the original neighborhood development.

I have most recently had the privilege of collaborating with Doug on a project and his care and concern for the design is only surpassed by the his need to be transparent and prioritize his clients concerns! I highly recommend Doug and his team!

We are so grateful for Reynolds’ outstanding service.

To this day we still marvel at the creation of your beautiful architectural masterpiece that we proudly call our home. We gleam with pride as we continue to find details in our home that demonstrate your impeccable craftsmanship and keen eye to both form and function.

I recall during the initial planning how nervous we were – mostly because this was all new to us. Thank you for your utmost patience, and your ability to share and articulate your vision making this process truly memorable.

I have had the great pleasure to work with Reynolds Architecture on several projects. Doug Reynolds and his team provide a level of design, build and craftmanship unsurpassed … uncompromising detail, quality construction, integrity, professionalism and commitment to each and every project.
As an interior designer, it is such a great opportunity to work with and to collaborate with such a team of gifted professionals whose talents push every design decision to be the best that it can be for the client and the project all the while adhering to budget, time lines and overall concept.
Reynolds Architecture is quite simply extraordinary … from complete design and build of your new home, or design and build-out of your new home with your own builder, Doug and his team are there every step of the way to help you achieve your dreams.

Doug Reynolds and his team at Reynolds Architecture are unequaled in the Chicago market in the artisanship, quality, and integrity of their work. Doug has an incredible knack for perfectly melding gorgeous, classical European styling with contemporary tastes to produce truly timeless designs. We particularly love Doug’s work for exquisite attention to details that truly finish off a home’s interior. Doug and his team are talented, easy to work with, trustworthy, and truly excellent at their craft.

We had a wonderful experience designing and building our home with the Reynolds Group. The owner, staff and craftsmen were second to none. I would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to build the home of their dreams.

Doug and his team approach every project with integrity and thoughtful ideas to meet client budgets and design concepts. I have worked with The Reynolds Group for over 15 years and am proud of the work we do for his clients. His clients are educated and understand the building/design process. They communicate well and set goals and expectations early in the process to help smooth the path to completion. The quality of his work and the success of his projects will stand the test of time and many of the clients refer his team to friends and use him again as their needs change and want the same experience for their next project.

Retained the company to remedy the pre buy inspection list produced by the “Buyer”
Actually should have hired Reynolds first before I put the property on the market!
They did a professional and cost effective job without the over the top pricing.
Also their reputation gave the “Buyer” comfort that the work would be done correctly.

A win , win

Reynolds Architecture is an excellent firm to work with for a new home or remodeling project. They are extremely creative, detailed and professional. I really like the way they focus on the needs of the customer and then develop the right solution. Their design work is innovative and original yet practical. We are still amazed at the quality and workmanship of our home, the excellence of the staff and the attention to our needs.

We are currently using Doug Reynolds / Reynolds Architecture to help us design our home. He has been fantastic so far:

1) Doug has a lot of connections in the northern suburbs of Chicago – he was instrumental in helping us find a lot before the lot was listed on the market. Sellers talk to Doug first because they know that he can help put them in touch with potential buyers.

2) Since we purchased the property, Doug and his team have been incredibly helpful with the demolition process, obtaining permits, identifying the best vendors to use for tree removals, etc.

3) We have just started the design process with Doug, but we are very happy so far – he is very creative and has had great design ideas. We just completed our plan for the first floor and we are very happy with the outcome.

We highly recommend Reynolds Architecture.

Working with the Reynolds Architecture Group, and Doug Reynolds specifically was a wonderful experience that resulted in a very well built, beautiful home designed to our needs. The team listened well in the planning stages, and executed the project with complete dedication; adding value all along the way.

The Reynolds Team was mindful of our budget, and timeline. They worked with us to afford the house of our dreams, and managed to get us in our house when they said they would. As with any major construction project there were some bumps along the way, but the team was professional in resolving the issues to everyone’s satisfaction. Even the punch-list follow-up has been great.

While Doug and his team have their own standards, they worked with us to find creative alternatives tor mechanical and design finishes that were outside their norm. Here’s the best thing…we trusted that the Reynolds Group was working with us. It was a partnership. They didn’t just give us what we wanted; they/Doug had ideas that were beyond what we could imagine. For example our foyer doesn’t have a staircase, and we were okay with a simple box entry. Doug politely and over time sold us on his idea for something special in the entry. We now have an incredible domed ceiling that graciously greets our guests.

Building a house can be stressful with so many decisions. We created our own stress by being engaged in the entire process. But the team managed us. In our weekly meetings we found common ground, respect and even laughter, making the whole experience very positive. We highly recommend Reynolds Architecture for any design and building project.

We hired the Reynolds Group to design and build a new single-family home. The entire process exceeded our expectations, beginning with the architectual design and ending with the occupancy of our new home. Everyone at Reynolds Group was a pleasure to work with and we were thrilled with the end result. My family and I would recommend Doug and his team to everyone. The home they delivered to us is everything we hoped for and their attention to detail, responsiveness, and overall service are unmatched.

Doug and the team at Reynolds designed and built our home during 2011 / 2012. My wife and I looked for homes for over 3 years and always loved Doug’s work and style. Initially, we hired Doug as our architect to design our home with the expectation that we would bid the project out to other general contractors, fearing that Doug would be too expensive. Surprisingly, on virtually every major line item, Doug’s prices were generally in line (or he worked hard to get subcontractors to bring the prices down). On certain line items where prices were higher (typically on the finishing end), Doug explained to us the difference in quality and detail and showed us examples of work done by his subcontractors. He explained to us how we’d risk losing the quality we wanted by choosing less expensive and likely less experienced subcontractors. After a long process of considering multiple GC’s, we decided to stick with Doug and his team. In hindsight, we couldn’t be happier we did.

The Reynolds team and their attention to detail is superb. They are meticulous and they hold their subcontractors to the highest standards in finishing their work. They go out of their way to make the decision making process easy and all have an excellent sense of style when tying different elements of the finishing details together. There’s something special about the quality of their work and the style of their homes and everyone who’s set foot in our house has been extremely complimentary. Most importantly, my wife and I often marvel at the feeling that there isn’t one thing we’d change after having lived in the home for over 6 months.

If you are interested in building a home that will last a lifetime (and probably longer), Doug and his team are an excellent choice.

I would highly recommend the Reynolds Group. From their creativity, professionalism, follow through, attention to detail, promptness to all thoughts, questions and concerns, as well as the best subs imaginable, I can not say enough good things about this company. If I were to ever build again, the Reynolds Group would have my business.

From an open basement space the Reynolds Group, designed and built out a walk-in 1300 bottle wine cellar combined with a large integrated copper bar and game room. Refurbished a separate theater room. Services were provided very timely and professionally. All contractors were excellent and provided great workmanship. I am extremely pleased with the end result and it stands as a unique showpiece of my home.

As an architectural stone fabricator/sub-contractor, I have had the honor of working with Reynolds Architecture for the past several years. This is certainly a one stop shop to build/remodel your dream home.

The clarity and level of details provided by Reynolds Architecture allows me to be the best I can be as a stone fabricator. It is with these details that we can have ease of understanding and communication from start to finish in a timely manner.

The project management teams are all detail oriented to their specific talents and pull each house together with the finest workmanship and professionalism.

As a sub-contractor I have the opportunity to see and feel the level of enthusiasm from all tradesmen on all of the Reynolds Architecture projects, a critical component to a successful project.

It is always a pleasure working with Reynolds Architecture. Their work and reputation speaks for itself.

I am in the process of building my 3rd home with the Reynolds Group, and am thrilled (once again!) with what they provide. Doug Reynolds is an exceptionally creative architect who is able to transform dreams into reality, and is very responsive to a client’s needs and wishes. His Construction Manager is highly organized with a strong attention to detail, who has a natural instinct for helping select the perfect materials and products for the job, is very effective in making things happen, and is a delight to work with. His staff are all extremely professional, helpful, responsive, and really, really nice people. Their ability to meet deadlines and stay on budgets is excellent, and communication is superb.

I recommend them highly!

We at Chadwick’s have been working with the Reynolds Group for many, many years and every project and each client has been a unique and amazing experience. Doug and his team consistently bring forth outstanding creativity, knowledge, and organization to all of their projects and it is always apparent they are striving to give their clients the absolute best service and support possible. We continue to be impressed with the amount of detail and commitment they bring to each and every project and we at Chadwick’s Surfaces Int’l. always look forward to work with Doug, his staff and their clients.

Outstanding company to work with. Very talented staff and Doug is one of the best architects around. We used them for complete management of our project and it turned out better than we ever imagined.

I have been working with Reynolds Architecture for a few years and every project has been a wonderfully collaborative experience. As vendor, I respect Doug and his team’s level of attention to detail. I truly appreciate working with a group who upholds the same standards in product delivery and overall client satisfaction. I would highly recommend working with the Reynolds group!

We worked with Doug on our kitchen and family room renovation and highly recommend his firm. His design ideas were wonderful, his attention to detail was great and the finished project is just beautiful! Doug’s whole team was very easy to work with and the project ended on schedule, on budget and we could not be more pleased. We loved all of his subcontractors who showed up on time and their quality of work was perfect. Reynolds Architecture is the best in the industry.

Doug and his staff create beautiful homes! From their creative and detailed design to their superior craftsmanship, every step is thoughtful and professional. Their communication with both the client and the tradesmen makes for an enjoyable and seamless process. We have been privileged to be a part of his incredible team.

The process of planning, designing and constructing a home is an art form that Reynolds Architecture has mastered. I was drawn to Doug’s classically-inspired sense of design and unmatched attention to detail that set his homes apart. This was the first time I had planned a custom home and Doug was very helpful guiding me through the process, from the initial layout, to design development and bidding. I would highly recommend Reynolds Architecture to anyone wanting to build an architecturally significant home.
