"We are privileged to provide this professional reference for Ms Debbie Basta. We worked together for four years on the programming, design, construction and furnishing of six buildings for the Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board. This project assembled the over 600 person staff from their multiple locations to a central campus as a means to improve the CSB's services to the community.

Ms Basta was our interior design consultant and charter member of the CSB's building committee. She was an active contributor and leader of this group and without her vision and experience the end product would not have been nearly as successful. This committee met twice a month for the four years it took to complete the design, construction and move-in. When not involved in making presentations on the programming and aspects of the interior design she contributed to the vast array of administrative and logistical decisions required in such a far reaching endeavor. Her advice and recommendations were frequently sought and followed.

We heartily recommend Ms Basta's organizational and interpersonal skills as well as her business sense. She is a trusted and valuable resource for both Hudson + Associates Architects and the Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board."

"I want to thank you for the excellent job designing the floor plan of our new Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) center.

The PACE center is a unique facility that combines several medical, social, and administrative functions under one roof. There are numerous overlapping space requirements to consider in the design and you accounted for them all. I was impressed with how quickly you gathered all the required information and how you immersed yourself in the project until its successful completion.

Thanks again for delivering a great floor plan for our PACE center and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future."

"After an extremely pleasant experience encountered during the design and completion of our Hampton office at 2240 Coliseum Drive, I knew that there was no question in my mind that we would be working once again on the upcoming project on Thimble Shoals Boulevard. Even now after over two and a half years of working out of the Hampton office it is still a very common occurrence for the new patients to express amazement about the wonderful and color and overall decor of the office. It is not an unusual comment made by our patients that this is simply the most beautiful physician's office they have ever been in."

"Debbie's research into the buildings and usage patterns enables her to design user-friendly spaces. Color selections have fit within what can be difficult parameters considering the age of our facilities. Perhaps the most impressive portion of her works has been her creative use of a floor tile to define our lounge spaces. Debbie was able to design interesting flooring patterns using tile and area rugs that were quite attractive."

"Above all, I think Debbie's greatest assets are her ability to listen and her willingness to adapt to the changing needs of the client. Lines of communication were kept open while working on our projects, providing the opportunity to give feedback prior to the final outcome - which leads to a final product with which we were very pleased."
