Bart is a reliable anchor in what is usually quite a stressful and hectic part of life. His work is of high quality and is done in a timely manner. He will walk you through the process and help you with permits and even the contract if you want to. His best attribute is perhaps his willingness to listen to and accommodate your needs.

We highly recommend Bart, who helped us with the difficult task of renovating our 105-year-old home.
We had a lot of ideas and some preliminary plans ahead of our meetings, and Bart thoughtfully assembled them into a workable scheme. He also gave us great advice on submitting plans to the City, going through the Committee of Adjustment process and the addition of the required systems, such as HRV. We are now completely enjoying our home and are grateful to him for his much-needed assistance.

We are doing a total gut of the house as well as adding an addition connected to the original with an atrium. Bart’s ideas meshed extremely well with our own ideas for a contemporary design. We are very pleased with the progress thus far. We did run into some design problems with sight lines for our ravine, and had to come to a compromise on redesigns here. 3D walkthroughs of the project before finalizing the design could have prevented this problem.

The project was a renovation of the first floor of a bungalow. It covered the bathroom, kitchen, living room, and bedrooms. As the it is a bungalow it required some creative solutions to make everything fit in a relatively unit. Bart's layout and design ideas were a great help on making the layout work. They managed the process from the drawings to obtaining the building permits.

We enjoyed working with Bart. He came up with some great ideas for dealing with a long and narrow house and also a way to brighten up the second floor. He helped navigate the city and variances needed as well.

The contractor was a problem and Bart attempted to help there but there was only so much he could do on that end with respect to fixing the mistakes that were construction errors not design errors.

We have a story and a half Etobicoke home and doubled the size with the addition. When Bart presented his ideas I was very excited with the plans. His design was beautiful and now we have recently moved in. His ideas were so good I almost couldn't believe that it would happen but here we are and the space is everything we dreamed of.
He was pleasant to work with and was responsive during construction.

Bart provided us with drawings for our permit application. He gave us a schedule at the beginning and delivered pretty much on the date he'd told us. We had a few items that got forgotten or missed but he fixed them once we noticed. Overall, was a great experience and we'd work with him again.

Bart Szoke came to our house several times and worked hard to get us what we needed. His costs were reasonable and there were no hidden costs. Very responsive.

We are very happy that we chose Bart to do the drawings for our renovation project. He was very knowledgeable and patient, working through all of our questions and revisions in a respectful manner. Our project was slightly unusual and Bart always came up with great solutions to ensure that the project was successful. He was also very helpful when our framers missed a very important structural detail in the early stages of construction. We can highly recommend his work.

We enjoyed working with Bart. He was recommended by our contractor with whom we had worked many times over the years. We had long delayed this renovation because of a handful of "problems" that we (and another architect and the contractor) had never been able to solve. Bart figured them out almost immediately. In addition, he had several inspired spatial ideas that transformed the look of our main living area. He is soft spoken but a great listener and very effective. We love the "new" place.
