Klancic Architect PC

After 2 kids, we outgrew our 2 bedroom, 1 bath ranch-​style home. Knowing that we wanted to stay in the neighborhood, we decided to add a second floor.
When we initially met with Mark Klancic of Klancic Architect, we were pleased with the questions he asked to get a feel for what we were looking to accomplish. Mark is such a pleasure to work with — he has extremely creative ideas and always has an open ear. I really enjoyed that he engaged us in his design process — that made decision-​making so much easier for us. He helped guide us through the whole process and worked to keep us within our budget.
His attention to details impressed us so much. One of the best features in our bedroom is a gorgeous inverted open «cut out» square in the ceiling of our bedroom. (I couldn’t tell you the architectural term for it so I hope my description is enough to visualize!) In the center of the cut out square is our ceiling fan and around the perimeter is some very romantic lighting. It truly is a beautiful feature and every time someone enters the room for the first time, I usually see them looking up and ALWAYS comment on it. I had never seen anything like this before and absolutely love it. It truly is our «wow» factor!
When it came time to redesign our first floor, we didn’t hesitate to contact Mark for this next project. We had a galley kitchen that was too small and very outdated. We blew out some walls and opened up the floorplan. Again, Mark listened to our needs and the final result is beyond what I could have imagined! We have a wonderful open space to entertain with plenty of storage. He introduced us to a wonderful cabinet-​maker company to get the perfect cabinets. Our kitchen island gives me plenty of space to spread out when baking. What felt like a chore because we had no counter space, has become something I enjoy. I love that there is room enough to get the whole family involved in making meals.
We totally hit the jackpot by having Mark involved in our home designs and would highly recommend Klancic Architect in a heartbeat!

Mark was recommended to me by a trusted friend. We contracted with him to create plans for a kitchen remodel and a new deck with a pricetag roughly half the value of our house. Weird, right? I think Mark was amused but he is a complete professional.
I came to the table with some very strong ideas (translation: tough customer). Mark came up with far better ideas, staying focused on our goals of high functionality, easy to clean and a great space for entertaining.
We now huge, functional kitchen that is the envy of all our friends and neighbors. Everything is nicely at hand and even though our house and kitchen are small, there’s counter space for miles and more pantry and storage than we have stuff. There is no way we could have navigated the whole process without Mark’s plans, insight and guidance. Pretty sure we’d have ended up with the back half of our house falling into the yard if Mark hadn’t shown us the necessary structural amendments. Best of all? Mark helped us maintain marital harmony.
