Testimonial
Did we meet your final design requirements and expectations? In what ways did it align with your vision for your home?
"At the initial meeting with Diana, we already had ideas about how our home should be designed. Diana quickly understood the expression we wanted and promptly presented several solutions. We absolutely felt that the final design met our expectations. She worked impressively fast in creating the drawings."
How did you experience our collaboration process, and are you satisfied with the overall result?
"We had a very good collaboration with Diana from day 1, with several efficient meetings and good communication via phone and email throughout. We are also very satisfied with the overall result she delivered."
Would you recommend our services to others seeking an architect, and why?
"We would definitely recommend Diana to others looking for a good architect. We find that she works with a genuine desire to adapt to the customer's wishes and expectations, providing excellent professional insights. She also has an exquisite aesthetic sense that she has managed to combine with practical and functional solutions."
What unique value did we bring to the project that set us apart from other architects?
"Diana has a keen eye for details and visually pleasing solutions combined with functionality. In addition, it was very easy to collaborate with Diana. She is accommodating, solution-oriented, efficient, and easy to communicate with. What she didn't know about regulations and requirements, she quickly researched with the appropriate authorities. The entire process feels very smooth, and she has been excellent in customer follow-up throughout. We have a very positive impression of Diana and would highly recommend her."

What do clients say?
“We have worked with Diana for over 1.5 years. Diana is patient and solution-oriented. She has helped us adapt the home to our needs and not least the surroundings.
Diana asked early in the project what kind of construction method we wanted to use. Since we were going to use ready-made elements, she contacted the factory to get important details about their production line. Therefore, she adapted the house to the requirements of the manufacturer, which made the house economically smart too!
Having an architect who is concerned with the whole picture, especially the costs of realizing what he designs is very important if you have a budget to deal with. We will definitely use Diana again if we build anything else.

““We engaged Diana Tofan for a duplex project. We are incredibly satisfied with the collaboration and the result. She demonstrated a profound understanding of our preferences and style. We are particularly pleased with her clever, elegant, and unique solutions to potential challenges. We highly recommend Diana as an architect.””
““Thank you so much for making our day fantastic! Absolutely beautiful illustrations, monumentally stunning, stylish, and fabulous. You have designed our dream home.””
““Now we truly got confirmation of why we chose you as our architect, fantastic suggestions, and especially a beautiful choice of art for the walls in the living room ;-)”
To ensure that we are a good match, we can have a brief, non-binding conversation
