Our experience with Rectangle has been thoroughly positive. We are thrilled with our custom modern home. From the outset, Rectangle was enthusiastically engaged in a collaborative effort to reflect our vision of our home within our budget. From their ability to create distinct and inventive designs, to their follow through with the building process, we have been satisfied customers. The process of building a custom home is time-consuming. The quality of the people you work with plays a major role in your overall experience, and the final outcome of your project. In our view, Rectangle has an excellent core group of committed and creative people. They have been easy to communicate with, and responsive whenever issues have arisen. We would not hesitate to use Rectangle again (and currently are, on our garage/gym project), and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a quality custom home, that radiates first class modern design.

Originally we hired Rectangle to give a very old house that we purchased a little bit of lipstick. Once we thought it through the house was completely gutted and the Rectangle team was busy designing a new space. I really like the modern and sleak looking Rectangle brand. The team at Rectangle did a wonderful job with the design. They presented multiplel ideas until we could all agree on the best use for the space. They made use of exisitng window openings to save on costs and hired teh right kind of trades for a renovation project compared to a new build. We have been living in our house for 2 years now and we coudl not be happier with the finished product. Thanks to Shane, Brittany and the entire Rectangle Team.

After having initial meetings with a handful of architects we decided that Rectangle Design was the right company for our upcoming home renovation. Our home was a four level split with an unusable crawl space and many tiny rooms. Some of the other builders we spoke with didn't want to tackle a reno on our home, trying instead to talk us into tearing it down. We found Rectangle Design after seeing an article in a magazine which stated they specialize in modernizing older homes. We didn't necessarily need more space but we needed more usable space...larger closets, functional kitchen, larger areas for entertaining, more natural light and generally a better flow. Rectangle got it (and us) right away. I thought I had some good ideas and Rectangle always seemed to come up with better ones while still keeping things affordable. Their entire team was great to deal with from the beginning, right to the very end. Even our neighbours who had to put up with most of the construction noise etc. had nothing but raving reviews about how courteous the crews were. When it came time to choose fixtures, they made it quite painless. Our building time was as promised as well. We have been extremely impressed and feel so fortunate to have had such a great building experience with Rectangle...a creative, organized bunch who take pride in the end result. Rectangle Design does modern style perfectly. Sleek lines and funky, functional spaces without being stark or cold. Every project they do is unique and artistic in its own way. We love our home now!

Company Response:

Thank you for your review and we are thrilled that you love your home! I think you hit the nail on the head describing our approach to modern design. We want to be progressive and clever with our work, but still have a warm feeling. We do evaluate the benefit of major renovation vs. new build with all of our projects of this nature, and with the size and structure of your home, it made sense to renovate. Thank you so much for the opportunity to work on your home and for letting us create a space that has attracted attention from the home magazines.

Rectangle resdesigned and rebuilt our kitchen into a modern and usable space. Before the reno, our kitchen was a closed area with little lighting. They opened up the space with a new layout and added lighting via a large window. The new setup with a large counter now makes the kitchen the most used area in the house.

Company Response:

Thank you for the review Trung! The way we design and use kitchens is much different today than it was even 20 years ago. With busy families and active lifestyles, the kitchen is the hub of domestic activity. It is impotent to consider not only the aesthetics and feel of a new kitchen but also the flow and scale of that space. Most people spend more time in the kitchen than any other room in the house, and it should have square footage allocated accordingly.

My wife and I had asked Rectangle to design our basement for us. This was a project that was new to Rectangle as I don't think they do many basement developments, but they have ultimately helped us create a fantastic retreat within our own house. Our designer, Brittany, helped us to create a design and vision for our basement that maximized the use of our space using Rectangles unique design elements. The construction team attended to the challenges of working in an environment that people were living in while they were working by accommodating our babies nap schedule throughout the construction process. Mo was a great construction supervisor. We really enjoyed the experience of choosing our finishes with Rectangle. Our choices for paint, cabinetry, flooring, etc went very smoothly because the design team truly understood what we wanted our finished basement to look like and they streamlined a process for choosing finishes that could literally have taken months with other developers to a process that took less than two hours - and created the finish that we are incredibly happy with today. Thanks Rectangle for the creation of our dream space in our basement. We would definitely recommend Rectangle to anyone looking for a builder.

Thank you Steve for your kind words about rectangle and our team! Although we are probably not as well known for our basement developments, we have done quite a few and enjoy the opportunity that style of project provides. We understand how important it is to get the design and material selections right. We are glad that process went smoothly. We all hope you enjoy your basement for many years to come!

I purchased a house that was completely renovated and refurbished an old house. The fantastic design and excellent use of space was a selling feature for me and helped me buy a smaller house than what I originally was looking for. I would definately recommend as I already have.
