Dear Anja,
I write on behalf of the residents and members of the University Green Condominium Association board of trustees in Harvard Square. We wish to express our many thanks for your outstanding vision, professionalism, and dedicated work ethic in transforming our building’s lobby and common areas from a gracious but faded building into a contemporary urban residence with a tasteful and timeless sense of style.
Our complex project involved developing a clear design vision, practical revisions for using the space to better advantage, and overseeing the implementation of the design changes. The completed work at University Green reflected your signature passion for excellent design, combining creativity and functionality.
A crucial role for you in your work at University Green hallmark was your unique ability to work effectively with a diverse and opinionated group of residents to shape their vision of how to improve the building’s common areas including renovation of our exterior entrance, vestibule, concierge area, living and library space, and conference room. The completed redesign brought a renewed sense of vitality into the living space while substantially increasing the value of our property.
We hope to continue to work with you as new projects come up in the building, and we are pleased to show off our renovation to interested clients who wish to see a completed project.
