My Florida Connection

In today’s world, it is easy to express one’s self when it comes to one’s own displeasure. In other words, if you hate something, there are about 150,000 ways to convey that hate.  You don’t have to go far to find someone gripping about something.  Lord knows I have communicated my displeasure about many things. 

In the small business world, most of our complaints focus on clients that don’t pay their bills, or are slow in communicating with us, or change their design plan or project scope 15 times in a day, and you know about every single one.

As much as I understand the need to vent, I also believe in highlighting the good guys.  For me, one of my star clients is The Sater Design Group based in Bonita Springs, Florida (www.saterdesign.com). Lone Wolf Drafting and Design has had the privilege of working with this company on several projects.  The Sater Design Group is one of those rare companies that are easy to work with, communicates their ideas and goals well and sends me interesting and fun projects to work on.  They are the trifecta of clients. 

Recently, I modeled and rendered some new homes that are slated for construction in Greensboro, North Carolina.  These are beautiful, modest homes that reflect a calming suburban charm that is hard to come by in the era of “mcmansions”.  Here are a few images of those homes:


 


One of the more interesting and complex homes that Sater Design had us working on will be located in the Cayman Islands.  Their client wanted a unique resort style vacation home right on the waterfront.  The client wanted to see what their new home would look like, so Sater Design came to us to render this one off custom design.  The results were, in our opinion, stunning.

Judge for yourself:





I look forward to continuing my business relationship with The Sater Design Group for years to come.  Thanks for being such a great client!
