What Clients Are Saying
From Robert “Bob” and Michelle of Lupine Lodge
“I have worked with many architects in my capacity as a construction lender, development partner, and homeowner. Sidney Aulds stands out among the entire lot for the simple reason that he listens to his clients, truly listens.
We started a project to build our 'forever home' and consulted three different architects over a nine-month period. One could not be bothered to return a phone call. One missed every delivery date he set for himself. One told us we should budget $4 million for the house, almost twice the prevailing price in the neighborhood for similar homes.
The architects and design/builders who did speak with us could not care less about our vision for our new home—they knew what they wanted to design and/or build and disregarded our preferences.
Then good fortune led us to Sidney through a mutual friend. Sidney spent a substantial amount of time with us on the lot and listened—really listened—to us. He then incorporated our vision with his design talent; the result was great.
We highly recommend Sidney for his talent, work ethic, integrity, and commitment to the client’s priorities.”
