“To say that working with //3877 was an outstanding experience is almost an understatement. The cooperation and sensitivity that David Shove-Brown and Ryan Petyak exhibited on our project and towards our concerns was exemplary. As skilled listeners, they invested the time to learn our project goals and then execute that vision in their design and project management. I sincerely believe that the phenomenal success of our project is largely attributed to their attention and efforts. Additionally, they made the work fun. They are a dynamite team that I thoroughly enjoyed working with and I only wish that I could clone them for future projects in other cities!”

“It has been my pleasure to have //3877 as our Architect for the past 2 years. I could not be happier. In my forty years of design and construction I have never seen a more talented and caring design team. The skills they bring ensure the highest level of design and quality. I am particularly impressed with the thought that went into the build and co-ordination with the client, design team and contractor. What began as another Architect – Owner relationship soon developed into partnership and friendship. I look forward to our partnership as we move down the Eastern Seaboard, South and South West with new Veterinary Hospitals. Thank you David, Heidi, & Rachel.”
