I worked very closely with both Mr. Tkacik and Mr. Collins as they were the chief architects for all of our projects. They were creative in their designs but budget conscience. They were approachable and flexible when changes in design were requested or needed to occur. I highly recommend Hank and Craig as skilled architects, and also as persons of integrity that one can trust.

Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Axis Architecture as an architectural firm that you should consider in your next building project. I believe you will find fresh ideas that are cost-effective and stunning when finished.

Deborah J. KolonaySuperintendent | Penn-Trafford School District

Our experience with Axis Architecture has been one of extreme satisfaction and confidence. They have proven themselves with the unique design issues within our campus and have provided us with a state of the art stadium complex that blends seamlessly into the surrounding 1920's architecture.

Paul FrancioniDirector of Facilities | Shady Side Academy

As the superintendent of schools of the Greater Latrobe School District, I have had the opportunity to work with Axis Architecture on three projects. Our satisfaction with Mr. Tkacik's skills is obvious - we have been pleased with all processes including assessment, design, construction, bidding, and cost.

Judy SwigartSuperintendent | Greater Latrobe School District

Mr. Tkacik has provided exemplary service in the design and subsequent bid of the project. He provided cost-saving opportunities and exhibited knowledge of the project at hand. He has been readily accessible and straight forward advice on all aspects of the project. Without reservation, I would recommend the services of Axis Architecture, P.C.
