Steve Streit - Founder of Green Dot
Lauri Matisse is phenomenal. She truly was born to do this. She is creative and definitely sees the client’s vision. I HIGHLY recommend Lauri. I worked with her on several projects, including an addition to my 100 year old home in Los Angeles. She did a terrific job in making the new construction look and feel identical to the original part of the estate.

Alicia Conner - Nature Made Director
We LOVED LOVED LOVED working with Lauri Matisse! She was able to take our jumbled words and ideas and map it out on paper (live, while we were brainstorming). She's the saving grace to our dream home being built on a hillside and within our budget. She's a visionary with a creative and humble spirit. One of our favorite qualities was her ability to help us optimize the flow and function of each room, making every square foot work smarter.

“My husband and I were so fortunate to have Lauri as our architect. She is so incredibly talented and creative. She somehow managed to give us everything we wanted on the inside, while achieving the very specific look we wanted for the exterior…not an easy task! She’s an excellent problem-solver and so very patient! Lauri is so skilled at getting as much natural light into a space as possible, as well as carving out special little nooks and features to make each room feel custom and unique. In addition to being an amazing architect, Lauri is also so kind, warm, and easygoing that it was just a pleasure to work with her. We are so grateful for the beautiful design she gave us!”

In addition, Lauri and her team assisted with interior design to blend the whole new house together. Lauri is very responsive, communicates well and is a joy to work with!”

-Michelle Meister
“Lauri's insight and experience provided an excellent foundation for our addition/remodel. Lauri was one of two architect's we interviewed and the choice was easy. Lauri listened, made realistic suggestions and delivered a project plan that perfectly suited our needs and budget. Livability, appearance and the value of our home were all dramatically increased and our plan sailed through the city's permitting process without incident. Lauri is a great addition to the architectural and development community here in Fayetteville!”
