I am a framing contractor, and I know the moment I am awarded a Visbeen Architects project, things will flow smoothly. What impresses me the most about this firm is the level of thought that goes into a project. Not just what you see but what you don't see under the surface, deep in the bones of a building. It's easy to see the brilliance of design, the practical use of space, and the balance that is a hallmark of a Visbeen home. What you don't see is a rare thing. To find someone with the intellectual capacity to imagine the most incredible buildings, but also the depth to relate that vision in the most simple terms. The ability to take a very complex design and break it down to the lowest common denominator. You can't completely put into words what that means to our success.

I worked with Visbeen Architects on a design for the remodel of my home, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with both the process and the results. Wayne translated my requests into a design even better than I had envisioned and did so while we discussed my project over a few hours. He very quickly understood what I was trying to achieve, and his enthusiasm and ideas were outstanding. The entire Visbeen team has been a pleasure to work with; their responsiveness and professionalism are always top-notch.

As interior designers, we are always in search of an architect who not only has a vision but also supports our own. Upon meeting Wayne, his talents and passion for design are clear. If you want a truly remarkable experience and a home custom-made to your needs, Visbeen Architects is the way to go!

The whole firm is as talented as they get, but Wayne is a visionary. We had Visbeen Architects design our home in downtown Sarasota. We only knew we wanted a modern design, and it had to fit in a property with difficult dimensions to work with. Wayne met with us in person, already with floor plans sketched, and did a live sketch in front of us of a 3-D illustration of our entire home in 30 minutes (or less). He designed a home that met all of our needs and desires, utilizing every inch possible but then incorporating creative flairs that will make the home a timeless and unique design. An under-appreciated element that the builder and subcontractors will appreciate, though, is the detail in the final set of drawings. There are very few questions when it comes time to build these designs, no matter how intricate. Finally, Wayne stands by his product until it is finished, and he's the one you're dealing with directly until it's over. We have nothing but exceptional things to say about Visbeen Architects.

Wayne Visbeen is a very talented and creative architect, and I was pleased to have him work on the plans for my personal home!

We hired Wayne and Visbeen Architects to be design advisors for our client Napoleon's hearth, grill, and HVAC products. His design expertise, contributions to the development of our Design Guide, website, video content, blogs, personal speaking appearances, and product ideation have been extraordinary. Wayne and his team are true visionaries who continuously deliver bold and creative thinking. They are passionate about what they do and go the extra mile to deliver outstanding results. We're going into our fourth year working with the team, and their contributions are greatly valued.

Our experience with Visbeen Architects has been nothing short of outstanding, fun, brilliant, and satisfying. We searched the INET for our vacation/retirement, and she kept coming back to Visbeen Architects. Within two hours, Wayne and Lakesha Rose, who is a five-star interior designer, had our home designed. Wayne's sketches were magnificent. His staff, led by Angela, took us through the whole project in a timely and wonderful fashion. We are so happy with the entire aspect of working with Visbeen Architects. We are now in the process of our home construction with Home by True North. I have built a few homes, and this is the best experience I have ever had. I highly recommend the team from Visbeen Architects.

Our experience with Visbeen Architects was great! Wayne has so many creative ideas, and just the fact that we were able to see our dreams put to paper as we talked about them is one of our favorite reasons for calling Visbeen Architects. You’re in good hands here.

While our square footage was limited, Wayne really optimized space to incorporate our family’s needs, including a big island/breakfast bar, a good-sized dining room, and our coffee station, which he outfitted with a wine fridge and tucked into the wall of a big opening between our kitchen and back hallway. Wayne made this area and other spaces upstairs and down feel more open and bright with natural light by placing the stairs in a back west corner of floor-to-ceiling glass. He also expanded our living space and made the outdoors great to be by working in a covered porch with Phantom Screens® off the kitchen. Our amazing interior designer, Julie Holmes (Vision Interiors), understood my motto that a house should tell the story of the people who live there. She could anticipate what I’d like and narrow options to make choosing effortless. She also kept price point in focus. We couldn't be happier with our new home and the team that helped bring our vision to reality.
