"We were looking to design and build a non-typical house in the ski town of Breckenridge Colorado. Surrounded by mountain architecture we wanted a home that was modern but not pretentious. Our new home also had to be comfortable for our active family of three. Freddie designed a beautiful contemporary home that was unique but still fit into our mountain neighborhood. Using traditional mountain finishes with modern forms he gave us a work of art that is also a home."

-Eric Mamula, Breckenridge CO.

" I would not hesitate to use Frederico Valdez again or to recommend him to friends and family. It has been a fun and pleasurable experience building a house with him. Freddie is a great architect who takes pride in his work and has a knack for modern/contemporary design such as my house. Freddie went out of his way to make sure my house not only looked great, but was built right. His knowledge of current building techniques, green construction and the use of advanced architectural design software ensured that my house was properly constructed and that any changes to the design could be clearly visualized before being implemented and the design plans rapidly updated. Freddie's input was invaluable not only during the design phase, but also during the construction phase."

"In today's industry there are Architects who design with passion, and there are Architects who simply design. There are Architects who work "for" and "with" the client, and there are Architects who are simply employed by the client. There are Architects who understand the value of meeting deadlines and fulfilling promises, and there are those that do not. There are Architects who enjoy, understand and appreciate the benefits of collaborative efforts, and there are those who call a Contractor when the plans are "finished". Finally, there are Architects who create one-of-a-kind masterpieces, and there are Architects who are satisfied to replicate what has been done before. Not only does Freddie and the office of Valdez Architects practice the latter of these attributes, but manages to do so while still creating an environment in which all parties are excited to be involved. Having enjoyed a working relationship with Valdez Architects for nearly a decade, we look forward to every project we are fortunate enough to engage with the Valdez team. At the same time, we have consistently witnessed clients that are beyond satisfied and appreciative of the services they have received, and have been fortunate to be a part of the life-long friendships with clients that follow the completion of each home."

"We hired Valdez Architects to design the build-out for a deli commercial space in a new building in Frisco, CO. Both my wife and I were newcomers to this particular business venture, and it was comforting to have an architect that not only gave us confidence, but one that could adjust to our every changing requirements, and to the vagaries of the planning department's interpretations of codes. During the process the planning department informed us that they appreciated the knowledge and attention to detail the Valdez firm brought to the table, in comparison to some others they encountered. Their confidence in Valdez Architects meant fewer hurdles we had to jump through for approval. Freddie Valdez is personable, dedicated to his profession and loyal to his clients. We couldn't have asked for more."
