What others say about us
“We had to renovate an older building, and Barnett made it stand out. He used his attention to detail in creating new architectural details and upgrading fixtures with creative use of lighting while keeping costs to a minimum. Barnett was a pleasure to work with. He listened to our team’s comments and suggestions and was able to make adjustments quickly. I would highly recommend Barnett and his team.”

I had the opportunity to purchase a very large and unique building here in Alachua County. The building started its life as a military armory in the 1950s, and the challenge for my company was updating it while honoring its rich history. We interviewed several local architecture firms and only one stood out: SVM/Monarch Design Group. I met with the partners who truly understood what I was trying to accomplish. In a very short period of time we had a design that updated the building without sacrificing any history...the design truly spoke to us! Updating a 70 year old building wasn't easy but members of SVM/Monarch were there every step of the way...from public meetings to interviewing contractors! The end result is simply stunning and so in the SVM/Monarch team!

We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the team at SVM. The team's passion, enthusiasm and dedication for our families is remarkable. They clearly understand our mission and find creative ways to support us. Grateful to have their volunteerism-they prepared meals for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House and have conducted wish list drives. Grateful for their kindness and generosity.

“Thank you so much for spending two hours with us today. There’s not a lot of things that truly impress me but you did today. Thank you for being great at what you do. Andrew was blown away. Please know how much you are blessing us with your knowledge and work. Thank you again."
Kevin Griffin | Personal Residence
It has been a pleasure to work with everyone at SVM during the course of building my first project. They were great with design development, and brought my vision to life. It is my hope that the 4411 building will be a great addition to the architecture of Gainesville.
