What clients say about us...
Our commitment to our clients shines through
in what they have to say about us.
Design on the Square helped us transform a very small space that had previously housed a failed takeout-only concept into a thriving farm-to-table café created in honor of our daughter. With incredibly limited square footage to work with, Brian managed to create something far better than we ever imagined. His professionalism, knowledge, creativity, and attention to detail were exceptional.

Working with Brian was an absolutely wonderful experience. He quickly captured our desires and made them happen seamlessly. We would recommend him and have recommended him to our friends and family.
Brian is VERY easy to work with, His airport knowledge and his quickness to turn around projects are unmatched!! Have been using his services for over 20+ years. And I also bounce ideas off of him and he is always responsive in regard to other projects.

Design on the Square was the perfect partner for our ADU garage renovation project. Brian Viehland is a talented designer and was creative, competent, patient, and flexible. He provided us with multiple options and solutions in real time. Brian was always there when we needed him, and we could not be happier with the end result. We will not hesitate to hire him.
We used Brian to redesign the kitchen and dining room of our new home. The stairs were in a weird spot and we could not figure out what to do - but Brian came up with a genius idea that resulted in a gorgeous kitchen and essentially our dream home. He was responsive, kind, creative, funny, and a top notch person.
Brian, it is clear to me that one of the best decisions I have made is to have you on my team. I appreciate how detail oriented you are, punctual, how you advocate for me, how you inspect and question everything happening here. It fills the whole process with confidence and high expectations. My deepest appreciation.
Design on the Square's owner Brian is a highly recommended professional for your architectural projects. Brian is very patient, super helpful, and is knowledgeable about several industries and code requirements and is able to pass this knowledge to his clients in a simplified way. He guided us through the steps to ensure our project will meet all government compliance prior to the beginning of our project, this saved us a lot of time.
Brian is just wonderful! He came to our home and listened to what we needed and wanted in our kitchen renovation project; he gave us suggestions and alternatives to consider and gave us beautiful plans to work with. He is very professional, prompt and personable. I highly recommend Brian for any project you want to do!
Brian was very responsive, kept his time commitments, provided opportunities for several discussions, discussed the goals of my project and provided support for determining appropriate estimates. My new kitchen layout was built in phases, I love the space and it couldn't have been transformed without the design options provided by Design on the Square.
