Working with Alex Foreshew and the team at Foreshew Design Associates has been an exceptional experience. His designs are truly unique, bringing a fresh perspective that stands out and thoughtfully complements the surroundings. Alex pairs that creativity with an incredible eye for detail, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

What sets him apart is how deeply he cares about the holistic outcome - he’s dedicated to creating spaces that are not only architecturally compelling and thought-provoking, but also functional and timeless.

Alex effortlessly combines vision, attention to detail, and true passion, and is our first choice when my team is selecting an architect for a project.

We recently worked with Alex and Amanda from Foreshew Design on a full renovation of our cottage, and the results far exceeded our expectations. From the start, their team demonstrated an incredible eye for design and a deep respect for the character of the original home. Every detail—down to the custom millwork and thoughtful lighting—was executed with care and precision. They managed to seamlessly blend a modern aesthetic with comfort, creating a warm and inviting space. We couldn’t be happier with the transformation and highly recommend them to anyone seeking design expertise with meticulous attention to detail. Thank you so much, Alex and Amanda! We are so thrilled.

We just moved into our cottage, exquisitely designed by Alex Foreshew and we still cannot believe it is ours! Alex's vision, passion and attention to detail is unremarkable. Every project he undertakes is so unique and customized and his talent shows through everywhere you look! The experience from start to finish has been highly professional, exciting and a pleasure!

Highly recommend! Alex and his team at FDA have this unique ability to dig deep into your soul to understand and translate your aspirations and lifestyle goals into a built environment that will blow your mind. They say great design will literally inspire you every day if you’re lucky to live in one, well I am confidant this is where that process begins.

My wife and I originally reached out to Kelly & Stone Architects as we loved to their design style and feel. We were in the process of starting to finalize a design for our forever home on our cattle ranch in Canada. We reached out and spoke with Tim Stone, and after having a great conversation about what we were looking for, he said to us, "you know, there is a great young man, named Alex, who used to work with me and he is from Ontario, Canada and I think he would be a great fit for you guys for your project". He connected us with Alex and the rest is history. We were looking to design a 'Western Ranch/Mountain Chalet" bungalow style home with timbers and stone throughout. We had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for in overall style and functionality. Alex and his team knocked our project out of the park and it turned out to be everything we could have hoped for. We love the end result and highly recommend Alex's services.

I've had a chance to read some of the other reviews and I think it's important to note that design takes time and several iterations. If you are building something custom it will take longer to finalize a design because each design is unique.

It's been a pleasure to work with Alex and the Foreshew (FDA) team, a talented group of designers. We were recommended Foreshew by our realtor and our builder had also worked with FDA. FDA took all of our ideas and gave us an excellent design. They've also been very patient as we have been through a few iterations honing our design.

The interior design team also did an excellent job and we've really enjoyed working with them. I would highly recommend FDA.

FDA has done an incredible job on designing our boathouse and cottage. We have been fortunate to work with Alex Foreshew, as he quickly understood our style. Alex is very talented and creates exactly what you ask for. It’s been a fun process watching our plans develop and get implemented. His team offers innovative insights and options to explore. I would highly recommend FDA for your next construction project. Michael and Mary Kovacs

We recently completed our home on Georgian Bay, When we started the process we envisioned a radical departure from the typical Muskoka cottage/home. Our goal was to incorporate a modern contemporary styled design to the construction. One with expansive views of the bay and multiple roof lines. Our builder Tamarack North recommended Foreshew Design and its principal Alex Foreshew in Port Carling. We were initially apprehensive but once we saw the renderings we were blown away. From start to finish Alex and his team delivered on architecture engineering and design. We also would like to give a big shout out to Tamarack North our builder who did a marvellous job of bringing this project to fruition.
