“We hired Carol to help us with plans to renovate a 90 year old house. She worked with us to refine what we wanted and came up with some great designs and ideas that we could never have imagined. We knew what we wanted, but that we would also have to do the work in stages. Carol was great at helping us divide up the work and making sure the Phase 1 plans did not conflict with anything in Phase 2. Carol and the Builder work well together and she is always available when we or they have questions. Our neighbors are already complimenting her work and they haven’t seen half of it, or the best parts, yet. We highly recommend her and her work.”
“My husband and I have been looking at creative ways to expand the living space of our home given the county’s footprint limitations. Carol has been amazing at helping us brainstorm ideas and possibilities to accommodate our lifestyle and growing family. She invests in getting to know not only our architectural preferences but also our daily space needs and priorities. Her ideas are fun, uniquely tailored to us, and sophisticated. As we move out of the brainstorming phase and into the planning phase, we will continue to rely on Carol to help us “take our home to the next level,” as she aptly puts it.”
“When we bought our home, the master suite was a nightmare! The spaces were awkward, there was a 2nd stair that connected the living room directly to the bed, and the master bathroom had an open shower and bench (no curtain or glass) - needless to say, it was not our style. Carol presented us with multiple options for the space (with and without the 2nd stair), and once the spaces were set, she designed the bathroom set-up, along with cabinetry and the laundry along with cabinetry. On top of that, when we removed the stairs, she was able to fit in an oversized linen closet and coffee nook (with refrigerator) on the 2nd floor and a wet bar on the main floor...all of which she designed. Carol had incredible insight into the project, was easy to work with and worked well with our contractor. Most importantly, we love the end-result. We would highly recommend Carol!”
“Carol has guided us through a challenging renovation of an older home. Her attention to detail and dedication to her clients have helped design a wonderful space for our family.”
“Carol Bandy, of Rockfish Architects in Annapolis, Maryland is a remarkably gifted architect whose design skills are second to none. Carol helped our family design and build an addition to our townhouse in the historic section of Georgetown, Washington D.C. Her design was difficult to achieve because of the small space with which she had to work and the exacting requirements of the Old Georgetown Board. Carol achieved a remarkably elegantly designed addition to our previously poorly designed and clutter living space, which is now a joy to live in.”
“Carol found me on Houzz and we’ve worked on couples of projects by now, mostly conceptual designs in 3D. She was clear about everything she wants, gave clear instructions and together we created results that clients were happy about. She’s extremely nice, respectful. Trust me, you’ll feel no pressure, but joy while working with her.
Highly recommended!”
“I recently worked with Rockfish on a major interior construction project. The configuration did not allow for efficient use of the space. Rockfish was instrumental in revitalizing the home. They recreated the floor plan bringing a more useful flow to the home. Carol is a key player and welcome on any team looking to create a livable and smart design for a home.”
“Carol is a wonderful designer and very personable. She has been paired up with great vendor relationships which help her to get pricing quotes and designs out to her customers in a timely fashion. Carol will hold your hand throughout the process so that you feel you have made all the right choices. She is a great listener and really works with each customer to make sure that they’re getting their dream kitchen or bathroom achieved.”
