"we are so grateful for the home Aaron was able to
bring to life for our family to enjoy. 100 out of 10
recommend choosing Aaron as your next Architect."
Eric de Los Santos & Michele Esguera, Homeowners, Arcadia, California
"Aaron and his team were so easy and great to work with. They did everything they
promised and communicated well. I will definitely use them again for any future
projects I may have."
Christy Wilson, Business Owner, Fireside Lounge, Bellaire, Michigan
"I had a difficult project. I wanted to rebuild my cottage but maintain its rustic past, while making it modern enough for my retirement. Aaron met with me in person and virtually to make sure he honored its history. He then met with the zoning board. The final plan was exactly what I wanted.
I would highly recommend Telluris (tlrs) for anyone’s upcoming project."
Stacy Richards, MD, Homeowner, Traverse City, Michigan
"Aaron did an amazing job putting together all the
plans, and his attention to detail, creativity, and
professionalism made the entire process smooth and
stress-free. He really listened to our vision and
brought it to life in a way that exceeded our
expectations."
Kenneth Castellanos & Carla Melgar, Business Owners, The Royal Cut, Los Angeles, California
"Aaron worked with us on a cabin build in Northern Michigan, designing a beautiful A-Frame cabin that exceeded our wishes. He was wonderful to collaborate with, consistently accessible and adept at walking us through the details inherent to new construction. He continues to be a trusted resource for us today on other projects."
Matthew & Jennifer Ross, Real Estate Investors, Traverse City, Michigan
