"Sean's communication skills are exceptional - a key ingredient to a successful project. He has the ability to lead a design team with clarity, purpose, and a level head - with an eye on both the budget and timeline. Over the years I have had the opportunity to associate with a number of design professionals. Sean Garrett is in the top echelon of those with whom I have worked."

"For a house with a modest budget, (the Chicago Green House) is surprisingly sophisticated,…very taut, disciplined… It offers itself up as a prototype… It's well behaved; a very intelligent house. We wish every little house could be as nice."

Jim Olson, Architect
Chairman, 2004 AIA Denver Awards Jury

"I have followed Mr. Garrett's career in recent years and can attest to his record of addressing difficult problems in complex, dynamic settings and of completing difficult projects successfully… Sean Garrett is an architect with a passion for excellence, and approach to design that is informed and thoughtful, and ability to work well with diverse people and groups, and the capability to design affordable places that transcend the mundane without being esoteric."

"Sean is an extremely gifted designer, infused with a strong social conscience and an extraordinary ability to both analyze thoroughly and communicate clearly. His abiding respect for the citizen - as a client, as user, as participant in the public realm where all his buildings succeed or fail - is the compass that guides both his design approach and his respect for craft."

"My military career includes… 20 years managing the design and construction of Army health care facilities worldwide. I retired in 2004 as the Surgeon General's Director for DoD Executive Agencies. In my career I worked with and lead scores of outstanding architects and engineers. Sean Garrett is one of the best leaders and designers I have had the pleasure to serve with."
