“I started three years ago with an idea of what I'd like the Godspeed/St. Francis complex to work like, and to look like. Scott VanVoorhees from Guernsey Tingle made that all happen…I love driving up to work each day, and I'm very excited about this!”

“It is truly a successful rehabilitation when the resulting building makes a better [architectural] contribution to the Merchant’s Square district than the original structure did.”

“There is always a sense of pride when your convictions are validated by those you respect. In a project with so many details and constraints that can dictate the ultimate success of this type of venture I could not be happier for the recognition that Tom [Tingle], Andy [Cronan], and Kathryn Tawes Interiors have received for their efforts on this and other projects.”

“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us a beautiful piece of artwork that we can call our very own. The late nights that you spent designing our house did not go to waste….This letter can't begin to convey the joy that we are feeling about our house. All we can do is offer you sincere thanks. We are thankful that we found a group of architects who could put a shared vision on paper as well as you.”

“Thanks for taking a lot of ephemeral ideas and some concrete requirements and turning them into a house designed like no other. After 10 days of living in our new home, I truly revel in each room and space.”

“If I were back in the classroom and grading performance of firms, I would not hesitate to give Guernsey Tingle a 4.0. Over the years, I have worked with numerous old line firms, and if asked to rate them, it would be on a scale of 3.0 to 3.8….I find Guernsey Tingle a pleasure to work with; their enthusiasm, attention to detail, and service they bring [to] each project is most refreshing. This quality is often missing from many older and larger firms.”

“I would like to extend to you and your firm the proper acknowledgement that it deserves for designing the jewel of the marina – The Harbormaster’s Building. Countless clients have remarked to our sales staff what a beautiful piece of architecture it is. The details, the form of the building, the interplay of the shapes, all draw praise.”

“Your team listened patiently as we struggled to articulate what we wanted and needed, and somehow Guernsey Tingle managed to do the impossible by giving us a space simultaneously transcendent yet connecting, a space that is truly multi-purpose – expanding and enabling our ministry in countless ways…Throughout, I have felt nothing but respect and reverence from every member of the team who worked on the chapel, and I look forward to working with you in the future on subsequent stages of our facility.”

“We shared many characteristics of a family, without being relatives: we were open, honest, expressed our feelings, shared our visions….and solved problems as one.”
