“Sol Haus Design has created a beautiful, custom tiny house design for me. Now the project moves to the build phase. Looking forward to living tiny.”

“CJ Paone was hired by Amir Moghadam to complete the exterior detailing for his personal residence in Calabasas. The 16,000 sq ft residence exterior was clad is custom limestone from Italy that required perfect programing for communication and development of all orders processed by the Italian manufacture. Design details, job tickets, estimations, were handled with outstanding professionalism. The job developed into further landscape design and specification as noted in the attached image. CJ is an architect that comes to the table with solutions, a positive attitude, and the ability to meet those critical deadlines. An asset to any project!”

“I interviewed a number of architects and talked to a couple of references before selecting David Ferrin and Arketype Architects for my rather different project, that of building a two story home on top of an existing stone warehouse, providing three floors plus roof-deck in a tight urban setting. Before I selected him, I was impressed with his "can-do" attitude and examples of some of his thinking outside-the-box. The design work I saw was classy and much of it different. His use of materials tends towards the green but when price becomes an issue, he will demur or come up with an alternative. David is quietly spoken and his demeanor is thoughtful, low-key and confident. The project is still 12 months away from completion (I'm writing this in May 2015 ) so it isn't possible to give you final comment but to this point I have been VERY happy with his work. He is quick to effect changes and is very thorough with his plans, attention to detail (according to several other architects and planners) being well above what is normally produced. I swear this attention to detail is what allowed our plans to get through to permitting in so few hearings.”

“They did a great job with our remodel and new ADU project. Loved the new look! Very professional, and very communicative. Happy to recommend them for architectural plans and the structural work. We had them manage our project too and led the extra scrutiny they had on the budgets and timeline management.”

“Our family had outgrown our home and we were contemplating a move to a larger house. We loved our current location but needed more room. Danny met with us and discussed options for adding on to our current home. After several discussions plans were developed and he continued to meet with our contractor throughout the process to ensure the project was done right. Having Danny involved in the project was the best decision we made. We are so thankful for our home addition and highly recommend Two Tree Architects.”

“The project was actually in three stages. The first stage involved trying to remodel a 1948 cinder block house. I had interviewed four other architectural firms before choosing Michael Burke and Associates. After a lot of interaction, several sets of plans, a lot of due diligence determining the building structure and the remodeling complexity and cost, the decision was made to tear down the old house and build a new one. Several months of draft drawings were developed before the final set of plans were achieved. In the meantime a second project that involved building a stand-alone three care garage to act as a job site construction shack was created and the garage built. We finally reached stage three in the fall of 2010. Since I was the home owner and General Manager of the three projects there was a lot of interaction with Michael Burke, the architect, throughout the project phases. We each had strong opinions but, we were both professionals so the end result pleased both of us. The difference between Michael Burk and Associates and the other four architects I interviewed was that Michael Burke was willing to develop the plans with my involvement. The other architects wanted to develop the plans without interaction and then submit them for approval. I did not see any value in spending money for a set of plans I might not like. For example, it took at least six hand drafts of the kitchen and media room before we agreed on the design and the final plan could be completed. Another example was the fireplace that had to be designed as the structure was being built because of its design uniqueness. If you want an architect that will work with you to develop you dream home, I highly recommend Michael Burke and Associates.”

“This is our first time using an architect and going through a major renovation (kitchen). Richard has been great at giving recommendations and suggestions.”

“Mike Faulconer was referred to us by a local Ventura County Engineering firm. He immediately responds to your inquires. He is knowledgeable and creative. I highly recommend him.”

“Jeff Zook of Coastal Architecture finished a residential project another architect sat on for way too long. He followed through the process and even acted as my agent to obtain permits from a difficult city. He really helped me out.”

“As project coordinator I used Apel Design for a major renovation of an exclusive gated estate. Amit and his team were able to infuse the project with great ideas which resulted in excellent creative yet practical designs for this unique project. Apel Design followed through on all designs until the project was completed and fully expressed the owners design goals.”
