hear from our clients

Don’t just take our word for it – hear what our satisfied clients have to say about working with Studio Carney Architecture

Travis Heberling

Michael possesses a combination of visionary design skills and a keen understanding of the importance of visual representation. His architectural projects are a testament to his innovative thinking and commitment to creating spaces that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic appeal.

Andrea B

Michael really helped us out with getting a variance for our basement remodel. Our house is 100+ years old and we had some modern day codes to contend with. Without Michael coming with us to board hearings, we wouldn't have been able to proceed without tearing down the entire house.

Greg A

Michael was a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond trying to find us the right contractors to work on the addition for our house. I would highly recommend him. The design for our addition was superb.

Margery K

We recommend working with Studio Carney. I will be framing drawings for wall art in our renovated space. Our project included, knocking down walls, new kitchen, new powder room, new staircase and an edit to layout of the space. It was a large project that was a challenge, Michael delivered!

Angelo Labriola

Mike was extremely knowledgeable, and easy to work with when we did a complete renovation of our historic home in Oak Park. We completed our project recently but started with him in late 2017 and early 2018 - he was available to answer any questions we had and provide us with estimates on cost or opinions on changes we were looking to make. Highly recommended.

Patti N

Working with Michael brought us results that exceeded our expectations. Michael listened to our needs, presented options, and led us to decisions that maximized the use of our space and budget. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result and are the envy of all our friends when we show it off.

Sumeet Gupta

Mike is as thorough an architect as they come...his experience with contemporary design, understanding of Village codes, creative ideas to solving issues, ease of availability - all these traits made it a fun, enriching relationship. His drawings had every detail spelled out so clearly that left my GC amazed. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and rehire should a need arise. 

Nancy F

 I really appreciated Mike's eye for detail. After choosing and tweaking a design together, we got to work. Mike went above and beyond by personally helping me select components for the new bathroom. He was always available for questions and concerns I had throughout the construction process.

Ling J

Michael was very patient and took the time to understand my needs. He did exactly what I needed at a very good fee. Huge stress reliever.

Paula Pelissero

Michael went above and beyond our expectations in making connections with county zoning - project managers - construction - civil engineers and the like to ensure that our project in an unincorporated area would be hiccup free. Just part of his commitment to making sure the project would get a green light. We highly recommend Michael Carney!
