Bart Szoke Architect Inc.

We were planning a major interior renovation of our old style split bungalow house. At the time Bart did architectural and contractor work and he did all the drawings and managed the renovation project. He really opened up the interior of the house, especially the kitchen area. We had to go back and forth a few times on the drawings for the kitchen because of the custom cabinetry but he always listened to what we wanted and took everything we said into careful consideration. The communication was great with him.

I own some property outside the city, just north of Toronto. Someone had built a cottage on some of the acres and I wanted to redo it all, in particular the unique kitchen area. Bart came two or three times to the site and looked at everything from top to bottom. I presented him with some original ideas and drawings but he came up with some innovative ideas of the interior that I hadn't considered. We went back and forth on a few ideas and there was a lot of open communication. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

We wanted to turn two bedrooms into a large master. Bart sat down with us and listened to our desires, plans and problems. He came up with an elegant design solution which he presented to us with computer renderings, giving us options and the ability to modify details. He was prompt, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. He also set us up with a builder to do the job and the results were fantastic

I wanted the second and third floor of my house to be separate from the first so my nephew could come live on those floors. I needed someone eloquent to go to the city to talk to them about getting a permit. I needed the best and got Bart's name from my good friend up the street. I didn't need an architect and I used him despite him being a very rich person. Bart works well with the city so he knew what he was doing. I still need him to come back to see the last little bit of changes made to the contract though.

I've known and worked with Bart for a few years now. Right now he's working on a commercial building for us and he's helped with getting us permits and with the building designs. I met him through my partner Louis when he did a project for us a few years ago. I've used him for years because he's very diligent, careful, and takes his work very seriously. I have already recommended his work to family and friends.

I had such a terrific experience with Bart. He was creative, professional, efficient and we had a very good working collaborative relationship. He was perfect and exceeded all of my expectations. I bought an old house in the Beaches that needed renovations. We gutted it and added an addition to the house as well. I have recommended him to others and will do so again in the future.

I saw the name Bart Szoke Architects on signs outside 3 or 4 houses in the neighbourhood and gave him a call regarding doing permits for my two car garage. I had sketches & dimensions for what I wanted and needed his skillset and knowledge for downtown zoning etc. We collaborated "X" number of times with the designs until the final package was decided upon. He was great with input and aquiring the permits. My wife and I were extremely satisfied with him and his company.

We hired Bart to complete our Garage Drawings and acquire the permit from the City of Toronto. It was a small job, but his attention to detail and responsiveness to our questions, made us feel just as important as a large contract. Bart was a great one-stop shop, who offered all the services we needed to get the garage permits. I would highly recommend this firm.

We went through a lot of architects before we came upon Bart. He came recommended by a contractor. We wanted to do an expansion on the house but had just a rough idea of what exactly we wanted. He spoke with us and developed the plans, which we changed a bit. That whole process took a few months but we're very happy with the work that he's done. We'll be breaking ground in April and we're looking forward to it.

We have a century home and we were looking on doing some major renovations. I'm a lawyer and I found Bart Szoke through a referral from another lawyer. We described what we wanted from him and he drew up plans and soon made a model for us, showing what exactly would be accomplished. They expanded on our small kitchen and put in a below ground expansion on our basement and helped change the backyard as well. We were very pleased with Bart's work.
