What our Client Say

Expert Coordination and Practical Solutions in Healthcare Project

I worked with Christine Monaghan on a healthcare-related project at the Boston Higashi School and found her to be extremely engaged, thoughtful, and easy to collaborate with.
She understands the importance of coordination and attention to detail in healthcare and institutional settings and was always open to technical input and practical solutions. From my perspective as an independent flooring consultant, her approach made a complex issue much easier to navigate. I would gladly work with Christine again and would recommend her to healthcare and institutional clients looking for a knowledgeable and responsive architect.

What an Amazing Job!

Christine was fantastic to work with—professional, responsive, and easygoing. Her design was absolutely beautiful and brought the whole project to life. Highly recommend!

Mark Mcquaid Realtor

Transformed Our Space Beyond Expectations!

Christine was professional from the beginning on our project. Her emails and in person discussions were always met with great detail and proper expectations. We struggled with what to do with our space and what she was able to do with it was amazing! We look forward to seeing the final product and enjoy our new kitchen and living space when it's done. I cannot recommend Christine enough and share with everyone what she helped create!

Ashley Van Haur Home Owner

Five-Star Expertise and Service

Christine's knowledge is insane! She had the answer to every question that was asked and if she didn't know she found out. Follow up was top notch, attention to detail was more than we expected. 5 Stars for sure!!

Jan Bruno Realtor, Keller Williams

A Seamless Process from Vision to Design

My wife and I had different goals and visions for the home and neither of us had undertaken a project of this scale. Throughout the design process, Christine listened carefully to each of us, shared new ideas and provided several different floor plans for us to consider - each incorporating of our varying objectives. Once we selected our favorite concept, Christine helped us to refine the layout and scope by presenting different design elements and pinpointing all the fine details. The 3D renderings she created were especially helpful for us to visualize and her flexibility working within our busy schedules was greatly appreciated. Christine also referred the contractor we ultimately selected, and we are very excited to move in to our “new” home
