featured Projects
Four seasons of fabulous! The addition of a new family room, master suite , screen porch and basement space created a home the owners never want to leave! The work also included a kitchen renovation with powder room and mudroom updates.
One of several projects that we’ve done with this client, this remodel took this kitchen from dreary to dynamite! The cabinets are actually bleached walnut which is a modern twist on this classic wood.
Denise made our extensive remodel a success! Five years later and we still love everything. She was there for every decision, considering what would look beautiful and what would also have the function and form that our family needed. Denise is a joy to work with – she is responsive, thoughtful, dynamic, and creative. We can’t recommend her highly enough.
Kristin & Shawyon
Denise combined creativity with sound structural planning to deliver amazing results. For our addition and remodel, she listened attentively and created a contemporary design with traditional sensibilities that was completely suited to our older home. Denise was flexible and reassuring and provided clear direction with her architectural plan during the design and building process. We are so happy with our home, it is exactly how we envisioned it!
Cary & Aviva Shlimovitz
Denise was a delight to work with from concept to final product. Her keen eye and expert design sense are beyond compare. She was a joy to work with as well as a true professional. From architectural design, furniture, room layout and color selection, I would recommend Denise for all of your new construction or remodeling needs.

Denise Clearwood has transformed our house into a home that we love. She initially redesigned our kitchen from the ground up, and then did a major renovation of most of the interior. She was instrumental in helping us see the possibilities and make the right decisions about everything from architectural design to contractors to paint colors to where to hang art work. She took the time to understand our tastes, lifestyle, and preferences rather than imposing her own, and she worked with us every step of the way to ensure the job was done exactly, precisely right. We could not be more pleased with the outcome of our renovation, or with the experience of working with Denise. She’s the best!
John & Jane Boutelle
Denise designed a sunroom for us 11 years ago and it is the reason we have difficulty even considering moving from our home.Everyone who comes to our home comments on it and seeks to spend all of their time in it.
She is extremely thoughtful, communicates well and keeps an exceedingly close eye on the ongoing construction. We felt she understood us very well and what our goals were with this addition.
If we could find the right lot, we would hire her again in a second to design a home for us.
Carol Diamond & Howard Rowley
I have worked with Denise on two projects, both of which have turned out beautifully. I love the design of both our kitchen and our screened in porch. She listened to what we wanted and then came up with even better ideas. Her extensive experience shows in the details and quality of her designs. I really like the extra features in her design of the kitchen cabinets and how up to date her designs are. Denise is really great to work with and I would highly recommend her.
Ann Knuteson
Both Renee and I feel very fortunate to have found and retained you in assisting us in developing our new space. The value you have brought to the process has been tremendous. An unexpected bonus is how much fun it has been to work with you. With much gratitude.

Our family has worked with Denise on three large home re-design projects over the past 6 years. First, she reworked our second floor, converting 2 bedrooms, a small bathroom and attic space into 3 large bedrooms, a large full bath, and renovated attic space. Led by Denise’s space and design vision, the second floor is now stunning, completely transforming our livable space and home. The second project began as a kitchen renovation and update and became a first floor redesign, at Denise’s suggestion. Yet again, Denise’s vision dramatically transformed our home and perfectly reflected our living style, far better than we could have ever imagined. The third project was more simple: a renovation of our basement for our sons’ hangout space. Denise designed the room, perfectly suited to our budget and boys’ level of cool.
She is superb, with a superb design eye. She understands her clients and makes recommendations that kick the spaces out of the park! We recommend her all over town!
Jane & Chris Clark
Denise is so much more than just an amazing architect and designer. She is a true partner in the process, and her focus on understanding not merely what you want but how you will live within a space – down to the smallest detail – makes all the difference between a project that turns out fine and one that helps you realize your dream.
Russ & Mary Evansen
Denise listened to us. She took her time, didn’t rush us, and excelled at thinking outside the box. Two things Denise insisted on: 1) an eye-catching porch and entryway and 2) a gorgeous view through beautiful windows into to our backyard when a person first steps into the house. Strangers walking by our home have stopped to compliment us on our porch. When visitors first walk into our home, they are brought almost to their knees with the stunning view. Our results were wonderful. Our home was transformed. Even better than we imagined. We wouldn’t change a thing.
Paul & Laurie Lata
We have worked with Pine Clearwood Architects on several relatively small remodeling projects over the past 15 years and I give a high recommendation. Denise Clearwood has a very consultative approach, makes smart functional space recommendations and has a fantastic design style. She is good at debating the pros and cons of options and trouble-shooting problems. We have never had any issues and are always happy with the finished result.
