Frances Zook designed our dream home! We were empty nesters who needed room for when the four kids returned home to visit. Frances was wonderful at being able to design what we envisioned. The house was also being built on a lot with some challenges with which she had to work. We also had specific ideas about the outside materials and design of the house. Frances was able to accomplish all of this for us. Frances also had lots of ideas about the interior and exterior design details and was also involved with the project from beginning to end. She visited the site often and was available for questions etc. We felt like Frances considered our home her personal responsibility. The result was a home we absolutely love. We still look at each other and exclaim, "Can you believe that this is OUR house?" If I ever needed to do another project, Frances would be the first person I would call.

My company (Hask Custom Homes) has worked with Frances Zook on several new homes and large remodeling projects. In every case, Frances provided great insight and service to our clients. She is very creative at finding solutions to the needs of homeowners. I would give the highest praise possible and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an architect.

Frances Zook is one of the most gifted architects we know. Frances not only designed our home to perfection, she managed our project from beginning to end, never allowing a single detail to be missed. We absolutely loved our home designed by Frances! We highly recommend Frances Zook Architect!

Frances Zook is a fantastic architect. She brings the rare combination of a gracious sense of design and proportions together with the attention to the details of construction drawings and practical considerations of daily living and home maintenance. She is also a terrific value. We had a terrific experience working with Frances in designing our new home, and she remained a trusted advisor throughout the construction process. We hired Frances to transform our 1960s one-story ranch into a two-story modern home with higher ceilings and more space. We could not have asked for anyone to have better captured what we wanted in our family's new home, and highly recommend her without reservation.

Frances came highly recommended to us and we hired her to create a new living space/addition for our home. Her professionalism and creativity were second to none ! We could not be happier with the outcome and the addition is now the part of our home where we “live “ the most. We highly recommend Frances for any of your architectural needs !!

We enjoyed working with Frances so much we hired her twice! She originally did an addition to our previous home - adding a new master suite upstairs and mudroom, playroom and guest suite on the terrace level. Frances is a thoughtful partner - she really listens to your preferences and supplements your ideas with her own deep expertise in designing spaces for the way families live. We then hired her several years later in 2014 for a full-scale renovation of our new home. Frances was the cornerstone of our project - connecting with the builder and the interior designer to work seamlessly toward our mutual vision. Frances also is extremely respectful of budgets which was very important as well. I can't recommend her enough - we are thrilled with the end result and thoroughly enjoyed the process of working with her.

Frances Zook worked with my husband and me on a thorough redesign of our 3 story home, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. She listened to our needs and worked diligently to fulfill our requests in a timely manner. Her knowledge was essential as she guided us through the entire process. The project encompassed a newly designed kitchen, master suite and basement, which included a guest suite, a recreational space and bar. She also added a spacious screened in porch on lower level. Working with Frances was such a pleasure, and we will most definitely use her again on any project large or small! We love our newly designed home and couldn't have achieved our dream without her expertise.

When we decided to add an outdoor kitchen to our home, we knew we had to hire Frances Zook. She designed a perfect addition to our space. We now have a pizza oven, fireplace and grill all covered outside. The design works perfectly with our home and feels like it has been there since the house was built. We are so excited to spend more time outside in our pavilion. It is beautiful!

We have worked with Frances on two major house remodel projects. She is a thoughtful designer in that she listened to our desires and needs for the space while respecting the integrity of the house. She is not only talented and detail-oriented she is professional and accessible throughout the whole process. We are thrilled with the outcome of our renovation and absolutely love our home. We highly recommend Frances and would not hesitate to hire her again.
