From the client’s perspective
1. Did the final design meet your requirements and expectations? In what ways did it align with your vision for your home?
“At our first meeting with Diana, we already had ideas about how the home should be designed. Diana very quickly understood the expression we were aiming for and soon had several solutions in place. We absolutely felt that the final design met our expectations. She worked impressively fast on the drawings.”
2. How did you experience our collaboration process, and are you satisfied with the overall result?
“We had a very good collaboration with Diana from day one, with several efficient meetings and clear communication by phone and email throughout the process. We are also very satisfied with the overall result she delivered.”

3. Would you recommend my services to others looking for an architect, and why?
“We would absolutely recommend Diana to others looking for a skilled architect. She works with a genuine desire to adapt to the client’s wishes and expectations, while also providing strong professional input. She has an exceptional sense of aesthetics, which she successfully combines with well-thought-out functional solutions.”
4. What unique value did I bring to the project that set me apart from other architects?
“Diana has a strong eye for detail and visually compelling solutions combined with functionality. She is also very easy to work with—approachable, solution-oriented, efficient, and clear in her communication. Whenever she encountered regulations or requirements she wasn’t fully familiar with, she was quick to investigate them with the relevant authorities. The entire process felt very smooth, and her client follow-up was excellent throughout. We have a very positive impression of Diana and would highly recommend her.”

“In connection with building a new cabin, we were looking for an architect with a modern style and a practical approach. We chose Tofan Arkitektur AS after reviewing several projects on her website and after an initial conversation about our ideas for the project.
We are now in the construction phase and can look back on a very structured and professional process with Tofan Arkitektur AS. It was important to us that the project could be realised within reasonable financial limits and that daylight and views were optimised, while still achieving a modern expression.
Our experience is that the price matched what was agreed in advance, and that any additional work beyond the agreement was carried out quickly and on fair terms. The cabin design turned out extremely well, and we are very pleased with the result.
Overall, we are very satisfied with the expertise and guidance we have received throughout the project and would without hesitation recommend Tofan Arkitektur AS to others.”

“We have worked with Diana for over 1.5 years. She is patient and solution-oriented, and has helped us adapt our home to our needs and, not least, to the surrounding environment.
Early in the project, Diana asked which construction method we planned to use. Since we chose prefabricated elements, she contacted the factory directly to obtain important details about their production line. She then adapted the house to meet the manufacturer’s requirements—making the project economically smart as well.
Having an architect who considers the entire picture, especially the cost of realising what is being designed, is crucial when working within a budget. We will definitely use Diana again if we build anything in the future. Images show the first site inspection and illustrations of the approved drawings.”

“Diana assisted us with the renovation of our 1960s house. We faced challenges related to limited space on the site, combined with many wishes and needs. We felt that Diana truly understood our requirements and succeeded in designing a solution that was creative, smart, and elegant.
We are extremely satisfied with Diana and used her services from the planning application through to the final completion certificate. We can warmly recommend Diana.”

"Architect Diana Tofan has helped us with the design and extensive modification of our older detached house.
We are incredibly satisfied with the collaboration and the final result. This has been a long process with a focus on many details, and the architect has appeared to be exceptionally professional and detail-oriented throughout. It has given us enormous security to see how thoroughly and accurately all the work has been carried out, right down to the smallest elements of the renovation.
Now that we are starting the construction process, it also seems that all the beautiful solutions on paper and illustrations are fortunately transferable to real life on the construction site.
Diana is good at listening to us as customers. Our needs, wishes and input have always been heard, respected and beautifully integrated into the final solutions - and she has come up with better ideas and challenged us with new ideas where we only saw old solutions.We have felt completely taken care of throughout the long-term project, and we give her our warmest recommendation!"
