“I highly, highly recommend Buffett Design! Tyler and his team are incredible architects and truly great people. In every aspect of our home's major renovation, they brought out the absolute best design, function, and use of space with creativity, excellence, and sincere care for our family. I loved working with them, and I will always appreciate the unique value they created in our home.”

“From the moment we met Karina in our old kitchen, she instantly grasped our priorities. She presented floor plan options that perfectly hit our goals for our Pacific Beach home. Incredibly, after just two meetings, we had a new layout selected and were already choosing finishes. Based on of our earliest conversations, Karina was able to read our style and presented us with hand-selected cabinetry finishes, countertops, and backsplash tile options. We felt “heard” and together we narrowed down selections, bringing us confidence in our choices. After almost a year, we can confidently say everything is exactly where it "should" be. The new layout is absolutely fantastic! Extending our kitchen into our existing garage, we gained a dedicated scullery area complete with ovens, a second refrigerator, cleanup sink, and dishwasher. The new pass-thru windows from our patio directly into the scullery make clearing dinner items painless and remarkably organized. It's wonderful how our main kitchen stays neat and organized even as we transition from dinner to dessert and drinks. Our family and friends adore the seamless indoor/outdoor atmosphere. Karina made the entire design process engaging and exciting, consistently guiding us forward with ease. Despite the scope of the construction, the entire project unfolded with impressive smoothness. This speaks volumes about Karina's meticulous designs and detailed drawings, coupled with the seamless execution by DSW’s exceptional project managers and tradespeople. Our sincere thanks to Karina, Karl, Doug, Tracie, and the entire DSW team of professionals!”

“I am a licensed ASID interior designer and a residential remodeling contractor and have had the good fortune and pleasure of working with Rick Kaufman, architect on several major collaborative projects over the past few years involving both residential remodeling as well as new builds in and around the Houston area and for a sprawling Texas ranch home outside Dallas. Each project was challenging and complex and required extensive architectural expertise. In each instance, Rick Kaufman was selected over other architects based on his comprehensive architectural knowledge and insight, incisive creative problem solving abilities, remarkable work ethic and his reputation for meeting and exceeding client expectations. His clients appreciate his friendly, easily approachable personality and his willingness to genuinely listen to them. Rick Kaufman is a visionary architect who is truly outstanding in his field based on his extraordinary talent and technical and artistic skills. He is keenly intuitive and possesses that rare ability to listen deeply and profoundly and respond sensitively to his clients’ needs and desires, never pushing or imposing his own ideas but thoughtfully incorporating them into creative architectural solutions that are unique, desirable and remarkable. His clients learn early on in the design process that they can rely completely on his insight, wisdom and guidance and know that they can trust his vast experience and expertise to produce amazing results. Rick possesses that rare ability to quickly assess and comprehend what a client wants and needs often before they can communicate it themselves. This skill is what makes him such an extraordinary architect and a genuine pleasure to work with. He is everything a client could want or need in an architect. I highly recommend Rick Kaufman of The Kaufman Collaborative to anyone looking for a qualified, professional architect for their home renovation or new construction project.
