Florence is a great architect with a keen eye for the details.

Florence is amazing! She has a wealth of architectural and historical knowledge that she shares with a wonderfully engaging personality. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just curious what this [tour] is all about, you won’t be disappointed.
Dustin R.
You made our addition feel possible. We had another architect a year ago and it was very overwhelming. You were respectful about our current state and optimistic about our future so I wanted to let you know we appreciated that.
Amanda B.
Florence is currently helping us with an addition and remodel on our 1910 brick farmhouse. This project has its challenges, however she has approached them with respect for the historic elements of our home while still meeting our needs. We highly recommend Florence and her team!

Pays attention to details, but never lets the details become more important than the the person.

Amazing tour of the Grand Houses of Provo. Learned a lot about architecture and saw some really beautiful houses. Florence was fun, knowledgeable, and flexible with our groups needs and interests.
Erin B.
Florence is a gem! I loved her tour. She’s a wonderful teacher with great content, and our group particularly enjoyed her self-reflective questions. Highly recommend, whether you’re visiting Provo or are a long-time resident.

Florence truly is a Renaissance Woman. She does it all—art, music, language, architecture. And she does it all so well!
