We really enjoyed working with Ray on our renovation project. His experience with classic, vernacular design is just what we needed to restore the look of our 1830’s Greek revival farmhouse. The results were outstanding!

For 5 or 6 years we made a decision to relocate to Vermont and build. We interviewed several designers/architects and almost instantly had connection with Ray, he seemed to be what we needed. Our process was a long one, but Ray stuck with us. We stopped the project for a while after we started with Ray and wasn't sure we'd come back. After a year or so we knew we wanted to jump back in. Ray picked us back up immediately. His attention to detail you'll find unmatched. He is great at suggestions and also adapting to his clients ideas. Soon after we started back we lost our builder. He helped us set up interviews and select a new builder. We started back up at the beginning of the covid pandemic , but Ray worked with us and we managed to visit door/window, flooring, countertops and cabinet vendors with his assistance. he was with us every step of the way. We were lucky to get one of the better builders in upper Vermont and he was very complimentary of Ray's attention to detail and guidance. Ray saw the project to its completion. We've been in over a year now and could not be happier with our finished product.​

We were extremely pleased with the work Ray performed for us. We had no previous experience undertaking a major addition to our property or working with an architect. Ray was responsive, professional and creative, taking the time to understand our ideas and style and turning them into building plans. As a result of Ray’s detailed design, we only made minor suggestions to the proposal. When it came time to choose tiles, paint colors, flooring and etc., Ray used his strong network and knowledge of local establishments to help us make final decisions in an easy and efficient manner with in person site visits. He also lined up the builders and helped us manage the construction, the usual last minute changes/decisions, and keeping the project progressing on time. We would strongly recommend Ray to anyone, and we plan to use him in the future for another phase of our project in the near future.​

"The design experience with the designer, Ray Boutin, over a period of several months produced greater and greater confidence that I would achieve a first rate house. Most of my friends and others I sopke with about the project frequently told me "what I wanted". Ray never did that. He listened to me and responded with alternatives and explanations."​

They created a beautiful design that works with our site and some challenging preexisting conditions (re-use of a foundation footprint, integrations of some existing structures and sloping site, etc.). Ray has worked tirelessly to include all of the elements that we wanted, creating the "farmhouse with a view" that we were dreaming of.

We recently finished an extensive renovation of our home. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Ray was easy to work with and both understood and helped us formulate our vision. There were many decisions to be made and he was flexible when changes were made.​

We are so glad we chose Ray (Timeless Designs) as our designer to design our Garage with an overhead apartment. From the very first conversation all the way through the entire process Ray was nothing but professional, helpful and detail oriented. Ray was extremely responsive, easy to talk to and willing to work with us around our schedule, which made the entire planning process nearly stress free. We would highly recommend choosing Timeless designs for any and all of your architectural design needs and hope to work with Ray again in any future projects we may pursue.

We had the pleasure of working with Ray and the Timeless Designs Team on a major home renovation. Ray was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer questions and help us navigate the process. We could not more strongly recommend Timeless Designs. They would be our first and only call for any future architectural services we needed, and we have already recommended them to anyone we know who is looking to hire a local architect.
