My wife and I recently built a custom home that was created by Design Vision, and I could not imagine going though this process without them. Steve did an excellent job with drawing up our building plans and perfectly incorporated our vision into a reality. Prior to his focus on drawing up building plans, he was actually a builder himself. This experience has given him a unique and deep understanding about house construction that an average architect usually does not possess. He made the process fun for us with his upbeat and energetic attitude, and with a slight dash of quirkiness, he always kept us entertained.
And then there's Tori, who specializes in interior design and helped us immensely with all of our aesthetic design choices for the entire home. I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but she has a very magnetically infectious personality and could certainly host her own HGTV program. She is such an enjoyable person to work with and very uplifting, positive, and reassuring, not to mention that she is highly experienced. In addition, there were several occurrences where my wife, who is a very sensitive person, would enter Tori's office in tears from the stress of a complex decision that was weighing on us. And let me tell you, Tori possesses that extra special something that just instantly offered us certainty and reassurance, and had my wife laughing again and wiping away the tears in minutes. In another life, I really think Tori would of made a perfect psychologist. I can say on our project she doubled as our designer and therapist and I am forever grateful for the reassurance and confidence she instilled in me and my wife during such a critical time in our life.
Building your own custom house is not easy. There are hundreds of decisions presented to you that you will be making for the very first time in your life. I really cant imagine the process of building a home without Tori and Steve and I can say with certainty that they always put our best interest first. So with that said I give my highest 5 star recommendation for Design Vision.

Last year my wife and I decided to build our forever home for our growing family. After countless hours of searching the web, we were unable to find a design that fit our style and incorporated our needs. After seeing a home in our area that we both loved, we decided to stop in and ask, “who designed this home?” The homeowner said, “ Oh, you need Tori at Design Vision!”. After our first visit with Tori we immediately knew why they had recommended Tori. Her wonderful personality and smile made us comfortable and relaxed. After a few small meetings we were given the design of our forever home that included everything that we needed within our budget. Tori met us on our schedule and included our crazy children. She worked with us and truly listened to everything we wanted and needed.

We have built or renovated four previous home. All mostly good experiences. Our fifth project is at Wintergreen and it is by far the most complicated and most important - this is the home we are settling in. The project far exceeds our hopes; it has been out best home building experience.

We've owned a small home on a great lot in WTG. When it came time to build what we've longed planned on the lot the old house should have been knocked down and a new home built. However, there is a lot of memories and some unique characteristics in the old home and we made the decision to explore the possibility of a total renovation and major addition onto the old. If we were to do this, esthetics had to work, flow had to work, everything. Our demands were tough. Our builder (Jim Gates) referred us to Design Vision.

The house is now complete inside - Steve at Design Vision turned our old home into an absolutely perfect home for us - it is hard to believe what was accomplished. The memories and best of the characteristics have been preserved in a completely rebuilt home that feels both brand new and also like "home".

Steve is now finalizing the exterior including garage, new decking, and additional finished space. I had one request - bring the character created inside to the whole project, tie this all together. The plans they have created are again stunning. Steve, Tori and Cody along with our builder are finishing a house that is truly one of a kind, and reflects our history and who we are. We simply could not be more pleased.

Finally, but importantly - they are really GOOD people. We count them as friends. It is their personal nature that allowed them to do our work so perfectly - they truly wanted to know us and they do know us. The entire relationship and experience has been FAR beyond any other project we've ever built-out. Highest possible recommendation to Design Vision.

Tori worked with us in our new construction home. We met her about half-way through our build when we were overwhelmed with all the decisions we needed to make. During our first interview, she got to know us and our tastes and took off from there. We were immediately confident we had found the right design professional. She was awesome to work with and had great ideas for us to implement in our new home. She was instrumental in helping us make granite selections. She was always easily accessible by email or text for questions. She was quick to look for things we couldn't find. We cannot say enough good things about Tori and would highly recommend her. We will definitely work with her again in the decorating phase of our new home.

Design Vision has assisted us with several projects and updates on our 50+ year-old home. Tori is up-to-date on the latest options available, saving us the time it would take to research options on our own. She is professional and engaging. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and we have loved seeing the finished product on every project she has assisted us with. She often suggests ideas that we have not even considered. I would not begin any project without bringing her into the discussion. Tori and her crew are amazing.

Design Vision is a joy to work with. The name describes them well. Tori, Steve and Cody are wonderful at designing with your needs and style in mind. They come up with with a vision that you may never have thought of on your own. We have worked with them for over two years and they go over and beyond to make sure you are happy and pleased with their work. Tori, Steve and Cody are very knowledgeable, dependable and friendly. We had a vision of making our home back into a traditional farmhouse and they exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend them.

I have worked with Design Visions on two separate projects over the last several years. Both times they have provided excellent guidance throughout the process, and crafted a beautiful design worthy of being featured in a design magazine! Furthermore, Tori and Steve are so easy work with and they make the design process stress-free. Susan
