Working with Gretchen to design our home was a treat! She listened to us, asked relevant questions, and clearly understood what we were looking for. The design work went quickly and her great working relationships with the county planning department made permitting far easier than we had expected. Her attention to the cost of building should make this a cost effective build as well. We are now beginning construction and excited to see our new home come to life! We would hire her again in a flash!

We just recently moved back in our newly remodeled home designed by Gretchen and we are so happy with the results. Gretchen was highly professional, easy to work with, worked well with our general contractor and helped us design the perfect home for our family. I can't recommend GR Massee Architecture highly enough!

I had an unbelievably positive experience with Gretchen on my new residential construction in Gig Harbor. So many things stand out, it's hard to mention them all. But a few of the highlights: First off, she's darn good at what she does! She was able to bring my babblings, design guidance, sketches and idea photos to life and exceed my expectations with the end product (and I don't mean the architectural designs, but the home that resulted). We were doing 'French farmhouse meets Brooklyn loft...with a bit of Northwest Contemporary' thrown in, and somehow, we got it! ;-) The rooms are all sized appropriately and there aren't any elements that feel 'off' (in terms of being too big/small or m...

We recently completed building a unique and expensive custom home. Throughout the MANY frustrations and challenges of the custom home building process, working with Gretchen was without a doubt the best experience of the overall process. Gretchen's personal interactions with us were always pleasant and professional and her work was impeccable. She has the very rare ability to really listen to WHAT you say and provide input when necessary to ensure the final product is perfect. Gretchen always communicated clearly and promptly and never missed a promised delivery date. Her prices were fair and the product she delivered very impressive. I am a Nuclear Engineer, so by my nature, I'm a sti...

Gretchen is the perfect combination of precision meets creativity. She has designed both of our physical therapy offices (Anchor Physical Therapy in Tacoma and Lakewood if you ever want to swing by and see her work). And both clinics are anything but an average. Gretchen has a way of tapping into your design style and finding both functionality and flare. She has never missed a deadline. We can totally depend on her in every way. And when others dropped the ball, she was there to pick it up and make sure everything was finished perfectly. I would highly recommend Gretchen for all of your architectural needs.
