Peter L Cipes Building Design

Peter made the process easy to understand, and worked along side me to ensure the best for my business. I look forward to working with Peter again for my future building design needs.

Peter did an excellent job of preparing the plans for my new cottage in Ashland. He was up to date on all the new construction codes relating to fire-safety and his established relationships with the City's Planning Department, Building Department, and Historical Commission proved to be quite valuable in getting a speedy plan-set/project approval.

Peter was fantastic to work with. He put careful thought into the best approach for a "tricky" challenge with very limited space. We wanted to insert a doorway and small staircase to connect to adjacent rooms and making it work while sticking within the codes was definitely tricky. He figured it out and also came up with a fantastic plan for the entire remodelled kitchen and bedroom closet in the small space! He is also great to work with, very personable, and has knowledge about construction from his prior career in contracting.

Peter did a fantastic job with our home remodelling. We needed an extra bedroom after the arrival of our baby daughter, but, with Peter's help, ended up with so much more at minimal extra cost. The overall feel of our house as an integrated living space is hugely improved. Throughout the design process, and whilst choosing a contractor, we found Peter to be 100% reliable, and always helpful, friendly and creatively exciting to collaborate with. We recommend him unreservedly.

Very creative, passionate about his work and our design intent. Challenges you, but also listens and incorporates intent into design.

I am a landscape architect whose practice includes a broad spectrum of projects. Often I serve as the project manager directing all the sub-consultants work. My practice includes residential projects to high end wineries. As I am located in north central Washington, and Peter is in Ashland, Oregon, I still find his level of expertise, flexibility, and efficiency valuable to me, even though I have several local architects available. I would highly recommend Peter.

Peter and I collaborated on a design project together. We worked together incredibly well. Peter is an expert in his profession -- he is experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about his work. And as luck would have it, he's also funny and gregarious -- a treat to be around! I highly recommend working with Peter Cipes!

Peter worked with our builder and us to design a cottage for my mother. We found him to be a great problem solver. He was responsive to our special needs and free flowing ideas. He has a can do attitude and knowledge of local building restrictions and codes. Very helpful in cutting to the chase when confronted with building code limitations. We quickly knew what would pass code and where we needed to adjust our design. His computer renditions were incredibly helpful in our process. We would highly recommend Peter

Peter was the designer for our contemporary Ashland home. We worked with him consistently for a 2-year period, and it was a wonderful process. Our site was challenging and exciting. Peter capitalized on the amazing view by how he oriented the home and the use of windows. We wanted the house to have "green" features, such as passive solar, photo voltaic solar, hot water solar, and a cistern; Peter incorporated those features into our design with great success. It was truly a collaborative process and one with wonderful results. We were also impressed with how well Peter worked with our builder. There was an ongoing dialog and sharing of ideas that facilitated the process immensely. We are still thrilled with our home almost 6 years later.

I have worked with Peter Cipes numerous times over the years. I have found him to be well informed, inspired and cost effective. I think he is a good match for any design project whether it be a bath remodel or a custom home. He works well with clients and professionals alike. Peter, keep up the good work.
