Testimonials

Roberta Gazola Guerra
" Andre and I have been working for the last years and this collaboration is being successful. He is a very professional architect and easy to communicate. The quality of the architecture and his good taste is always present on the buildings he projects. Used to work from large to small scale, his point of view can be very accurate according to the site and the customers need. Hope to keep cooperating for the next years. "

We really enjoy working with André and his team. His ability to assess the construction site and his creativity consistently result in beautiful designs that are also financially feasible. His willingness to go the extra mile, for example in his presentations, makes things so much easier for us that André has been an integral part of our construction team for several years now. Together, we have already completed some wonderful projects in France, Florida, and, more recently, the Netherlands.

" My experience with Andre as an architect has been very good.
I know Andre from the Netherlands and France, and his creativity and positive energy have been very important for the projects I have been involved in. Andre's pleasant cooperation with the local companies involved was very important, as it helped to smooth out several ‘bumps’ along the way, with his entertaining and patient contact with the DDE also playing an important role. In short, I would be happy to work with Andre and his company again on a future project in France. Regards, Bert Smit Sibinga "

" I have recommended André to Clients for his knowledgeable and innovative work on design and planning. Clients in turn like the way he will explain the "whys and why nots" of their proposals, sharing his views rather than preaching. They also pick up that he loves his profession. "
