Stan listened as we discussed how we wanted our home to work, and designed a floor plan that met our expectations in the contemporary style that we liked and that took into considerations the features of the lot on which the house was to be built. “We worked with Stan Monroe to design and build our home on land we had purchased several years earlier. We wouldn't dream of working with anyone else.” So we purchased a home with "potential" and are saving up for the chance to do a remodel/rebuild with him on this property. Ultimately, we couldn't find a piece of empty property with the location / features we wanted for a price that would allow us to build new with Michael. After the meeting I was so energized and excited that it took 2 hours to fall asleep (it was way past my bedtime!). He walked us through the design process and laid out an estimate for pricing. We can see how this approach could lead to the perfect personalized homes that we had toured. He met us at our home and talked with us about our "ultimate vision of living". After years of dreaming of what Michael could do for us, we were finally in a position to consider hiring him. He blends brilliant design with smart, efficient, architectural engineering.


He excels at listening to what the customer is looking for and delivering perfection. His talent is so broad - from respecting a classic Italianate design, to creating a found-art energy efficient modern masterpiece. We've visited every home that has been open for tours and no two are alike. His passion for the work he does is evident in everything he does, and is delightful to listen to during his tours. “My husband and I have followed Michael Klement, the Principal at Architectural Resource, at the Ann Arbor home shows and remodeling tours for years.
