Craig Race and his team helped us with a design for a large renovation on our heritage home just outside of Toronto. Craig was very easy to work with, professional and very understanding of the situation we were in with the heritage requirements. We had a very specific requirements we wanted to meet and Craig and his team took the time to listen and understand our interests. They proposed some great options and we were able to come to a great design for our forever home. We couldn't have been happier with the team at Craig Race Architecture and would happier refer our friends to this team.

I have had the opportunity to work with Craig and his staff in multiple capacities on several projects. Any questions or concerns were always dealt with promptly and earnestly. Craig's approach to building envelope design has increased my understanding and appreciation of what makes a comfortable, efficient, long lasting structure. I am always looking forward to seeing his next exciting and inspired design.

I am pleased to recommend Craig Race, Architect, without reservation. .. My wife, Elaine, and I first contacted him from the Globe and Mail articles about the laneway housing bylaw proposal.. As he had early knowledge and participation in the creation of the bylaw, he was very much what we were looking for with our unusual City of Toronto lot. After meeting with him several times and designing a concept, Craig took the reins and lead us through the Committee of Adjustment process and ultimately through building permit. Though I am an experienced builder11 self storage buildings and two luxury homes in North TorontoI was happy to have Craig as point man through the city process. At the outset of the Committee hearing, beginning with the Committee members discussions, it appeared we were doomed. However, in 20 minutes, Craig artfully changed their minds with logic and charm, resulting in a unanimous approval. Subsequently, Craig guided us, successfully, through an appeal by a vexatious developer neighbour and punitive development charges negotiations with the City, resulting in savings of $192,000. Our meetings, interactions and telephone conferences have always been punctual and enjoyable.We have found his fees reasonable. Additionally, I would like to say that his adjutant, Sarah Donaldson, is also a pleasure to work with and exceedingly competent. I would be happy to discuss our experience with Craig Race Architecture if requested.
