“Larry Golden worked with us to redesign a space from a 4 car garage to a one car garage, laundry room, family room, bathroom, and bedroom. His design reflected our needs as well as the design constraints of the site and Santa Cruz planning board.”

“My husband and I are remodeling both of our bathrooms, and want to open up our kitchen area so it works better with the layout of our house. Marcus has been working with us and he's been fantastic. Even though it is just a remodel, he's given us so many great ideas to tie the whole house together, as well as help us understand what is worth spending money on for the long run, and where we could save. He's making the process really fun and exciting, and I can't wait to live in a house that is finally well designed and perfectly us. Also, he lives is San Luis Obispo, CA and we live in Santa Cruz, which I thought might be a problem when it came down to meeting one on one, but he was very flexible and has been shooting up to meet with us multiple times bringing beautiful sketches of ideas, or examples of materials for us to look at. I hightly recommend him for big or small projects. He's truely a professional.”

“I used Monterey Design Inc to design a house we built from the ground up. I was very happy with the whole overall design of the project and I am looking forward to using them again.I would always recommend them to anyone looking to do a new home or a remodel. Flores Electric Flores Builders”

“I was introduced to Bess through a previous Designer I worked with who was retiring her business. She felt Bess would be a good fit for me and my job, and I knew from our first meeting she was right. Bess and her Studio 3 team came on the job when we completed the basic house conceptual plan. Her input and ideas only further enhanced the function of the floor plan. As well, her knowledge, expertise and practical approach has been so valuable especially as this is my first major house remodel. I have quickly found how easy it is to keep expanding the plan as well as the budget! She does a great job keeping me on track and realistic, which my husband appreciates! Bess has guided us through our Phase 1 of the crazy permit process for an in law quarters and is now assisting with our phase 2, the rest of the house., all the while setting expectations of how to work with the city. She is also great when working with your personal choice of contractors, although she provides her own top notch referrals. Her team is friendly and responsive. We still have a ways to go, but she is willing to work with you on what services you need in regards to your budget, which I appreciate. I've been in Real Estate for 13 years, and one thing I've learned is when you find great vendors, partner with them, keep using them and refer them! I've referred Studio 3 to two people / clients with different styles and both have been thrilled to work with her. I would highly recommend you give Studio 3 and Bess a call for your next large or smaller project!”

“I'm pleased to offer my opinion of Dern Architecture + Development. The Dern Architectural + Development group FAR EXCEEDED my expectations and demanding standards in terms of creating absolutely beautifully designed editions to my home and offices. Professional, responsible, knowledgeable, and experienced—with a keen interest in detail—best describe this architectural group. It was an absolute pleasure to have worked with this group. I would also like to add that the project came in under budget and right on schedule. VERY pleased! Dr. Ray”

“Start to finish, Bill, Courtney and team were exceptional. They guided us through every step of the design and build process, made the experience smooth and enjoyable and made our dream come to life. This firm was highly recommended to us and I’m so happy we found them. Our house turned out better than our wildest dreams and I very much credit it to these architects. I would recommend them to anyone looking to build.”

“Stephanie was amazing to work with because she really listened and paid attention to who we are and how we live. We knew from her previous work that she doesn’t repeat the same style in every project, and we liked her flexibility and attention to the style of each house and its environment. Throughout the project we were impressed at how carefully she listened to all of our thoughts and opinions; in several cases she took our uninformed ideas and creatively transformed them into wonderful design elements. We love our remodeled home! Stephanie’s strengths include excellent communication, consistency, focus, and follow-through. We recommend her with great enthusiasm!”

“Timerie Gordon of Nielsen Studios just did the interior design for our new company store, Annieglass on Santana Row. Her ability to recreate our vision in physical form while inputting her own style resulted in a space more beautiful than we could have imagined.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Dan and photographing his projects for over 10 years. His unique and innovative designs are always exciting to preview and his clients can never stop raving about them. I've watched him grow more green over the years and his home and business designs are always a perfect blend for our community here in Santa Cruz.”

“Load bearing not load bearing? DYI or contract out? AR2 Structural Engineering helped us answer these questions quickly. Adam arrived on time and ready to survey. After a comprehensive inspection, the wall was determined to be load bearing. This was a minor set back as the remedy would need to accomplished before our kitchen cabinets arrived. Adam produced the necessary detailed drawing quickly and at a reasonable rate. I would highly recommend AR2 to be apart of anyone's DIY project. He is fair, his inspection is thorough and his drawings delivered in a timely manner. We will be calling Adam again when it will be time for our basement build out project.”
