“The building that SAA Architecture designed for the Charlotte Armenian community not only met our expectations but exceeds them. The building captured the look and feel of a classical Armenian Church while maintaining a high level of sophistication with an eye to minimizing operating costs and within or budget.”

“SAA Architecture was the support we so desperately needed. Zestron had no prior experience with construction in the US, and Glen’s personal involvement must have saved us over $1M in retrospect. He knows what responsibility means in the German sense. The comfort to trust someone not to overspend your money was priceless. His experience in the business and his attention to every little detail allowed us to not loose any precious time and/or resources.”
“SAA clearly went way beyond his call of duty, checking progress on weekends and spending significantly more time than allocated in our contractual obligation with him.”
“We would highly recommend SAA and Glen Stephens to any interested party. It is hard to imagine any other company being as professional and effective.”
Harald Wack, CEO Zestron America

“Terry Ridlon is our prime point of contact at SAA Architecture. Through his leadership, SAA has provided high quality responsive and cost effective design services for my projects. The success of my projects is in part due to the attentive, skilled, professional work provided by SAA and its engineering subcontractors. I look forward to future projects with SAA on my team!”

“As Chairman of GRACE A.M.E. ZION’S building committee, the members of the Church and I are more than pleased with the services SAA Architecture provided our church during this first phase of our building Champaign. We were favored with your advice, presence and supervision when needed during the building progress. Many thanks for your time and interest. May you be blessed as you continue your good work.”

“SAA was a champion throughout this process; I cannot find words to thank you!”

“Glen provides unparalleled leadership, design excellence, superior quality control, and professional integrity that sets SAA apart from their peers.”

“Glen Stephens’ strength he brings to his clients is his diversity. He is much more than one of the premier tech building architects along the Atlantic coast. He delivers to every project his wealth of understanding regarding entitlements, land use and occupancy, property management, building construction and value. His characteristically improves the operations and management of the buildings he designs. Larger and more prestigious design firms take note: What other architectural firms hope to provide (or will furnish as an additional service), he simply delivers. He doesn’t have to “practice architecture”, he already does it for a living. Building sites and structures are seldom cookie-cutter. Glen’s diversity allows him to tackle unusual projects and bring them to successful close-out. In the northeast with few warehouses, he innovatively designed one of the largest high-bay tilt-wall facilities in the region. It was used for electronic testing and as a bulk distribution building before tilt-wall became popular in the area . No small feat considering its state-of-the-art design, 30′ clear height, energy efficiency and advanced fire suppression system were all incorporated before they were fashionable or even recognized in building codes. That is truly leading edge. He understands the discipline required in the collaborative design-build process and the many challenges faced by the team. He remains a staunch advocate of user satisfaction as the measurement of successful delivery. I highly recommend Glen for any building project and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.”
