Sally Smith

Alex and his team helped us renovate 6800 square feet of living, gallery and studio space. Alex was able to artfully combine vintage craftsman, industrial and modern space. Our house has become a real showstopper. At the same time our house is extremely livable and pleasant to be in. Alex and his team worked through every detail: how it would look and how it would work. Alex reveres the old, but is also good at creating modern spaces and thinking outside the box. He is an excellent listener, and never lets his ego get in the way. Alex is also practical and fun to work with. The other architects on his team were similarly fabulous to work with.

Thank you, Sally. It was a very fun journey working with you and your family on this great project!

We did a full remodel and a second story addition that has exceeded my vision and expectations! There is no doubt that Alex and his team absolutely love what they do and they do it well together. It shows through dedication, attention to detail along with straight forward, timely communication. Always professional but easy-going, I enjoyed a truly collaborative experience that turned my old 1950's home into the modern home of my dreams!

The entire team at Studio Bergtraun were not only talented professionals, but also a pleasure to work with and were always accessible, operating swiftly and on budget. We wanted a home with separate cottages for our large extended family, which if designed incorrectly, could feel hollow and sprawling. Alex and Jessica were able to transform our collection of ideas and dreams into a village, that was inviting and architecturally stimulating and interesting. Every time we hit a snag with our contractor or with a design element, we turned to them and they were quickly able to offer sound advice and resolve the issue with immediacy. They really understood what we we trying to achieve and helped us stay consistent with the architecture of the home, down to the finest of details. We never anticipated looking at our home and seeing the beauty of the architecture, but we often do. Can you tell we think they are awesome?

Alex understood our vision for the extension of our 1928 Montclair home, to upscale the look, but keep its charm (such as its Deco moldings and sash windows) and make it appear as if the house had always been 1,000 sq. feet larger. He was easy to work with, kept us updated on costs, and in the end made the house more beautiful than we could ever have imagined with his creative design solutions. We only wish we had before and after pictures--they would be hard to believe! People driving by continue to stop and take snapshots or, if we happen to be in our front yard, tell us we have a magnificent home.

Alex Bergtraun was the perfect choice to help us renovate our new purchase of a 1957 modern style house in the Berkeley Hills. Ours is a unique house, designed by Ratcliff architects and one of the first residential houses in a contemporary style. Bergtraun Studios clearly have strong knowledge of Mid-Century Modern houses, Alex was in sync with the aesthetics from overall look to specifics. My wife and I found Alex to also be an excellent combination of proactive suggestions combined with a very respectful and supportive approach that made working with him really a pleasure. We changed our project substantially as work progressed and Alex was easily able to accommodate us. The final results of our house is no less than stunning. I have experience rehabbing housing and give my highest recommendation to this studio.

We hired Studio Bergtraun for a kitchen / office remodel in 2012. They were amazing. Easy to work with, great taste - and communicative. They were able to create a design that worked with the aesthetic of our house (built in the 1920s in Piedmont Ca.) One of the great things about Bergtraun was their ability to listen to our initial ideas and then plus them in ways we would have never thought of. No doubt, we'd work with them again. In fact, we just started another job!

We hired Studio Bergtraun to design a main floor remodel. There was a lot of room, but it wasn't very functional. The ideas they came up with transformed our living room/dining room/kitchen area into an amazing space. They also worked with a very funky master bath and closet to give me a closet with a door (!!!) and a bathroom that makes me feel like I'm at a spa. Alex, et al, paid attention to lots of details we wouldn't have even thought about, and were very supportive during a stressful process. I highly recommend them.

We had the pleasure of working with Studio Bergtraun on a project from 2011-2013. They designed an extensive remodel of a 1970's residence in Trinidad, CA. Although Studio Bergtraun is located 300 miles South of the project site, this was one of the smoothest, most positive experiences we've had in our 16 years of business. We had excellent communication, site visits as needed, and really enjoyed Alex and Michelle on a personal level as well. We hope to work with them again in the future.

Studio Bergtraun did the design for a remodel that included adding an elevator, opening up the floor plan, and making a bedroom and bathroom accessible for people with disabilities. Their ideas were creative and innovative where other architects had not known where to start. The elevator placement did not reduce the living area, the kitchen ideas reduced square footage whole managing to add both cabinet and counter space, and we are completely thrilled with the result.

Full remodel involving kitchen, living and dining room, bathroom, foyer, exterior front entry and front yard. Never could have gotten such beautiful results w/o help of Studio Bergtraun's professional know-how and attention to detail. After the project was completed, there were so many "oohs and ahhs" from friends and neighbors, and therefore, many consequently hired Alex for their remodels. Alex understood our taste and lifestyle and we were very happy with the results. So happy, in fact, that we did a second remodel with Studio Bergtraun a few years later. The second project involved converting the garage into a family room with bathroom and side patio, as well as building a 3-car garage.

We commissioned Studio Bergtruan to design a relatively complex stand-alone auxiliary building to be used as a gym and observation / support building for our tennis court. (It also has a carport.) The design needed to "nestle" into a hillside to avoid blocking views from the main house while still having very high internal ceilings and extensive natural light and large door openings. It also needed to complement a Wurster house from the early '30's without appearing to echo it. Alex and his team developed a brilliant design: functional, spacious, aesthetically distinctive and extraordinarily well-suited to the topology and landscape. Forms and details work together brilliantly. Construction was complex but smooth, and Studio Bergtraun and our contractors worked well together. We highly recommend Studio Bergtraun to anyone looking for the highest quality work!

Kommenterade: countertopsThose are Heath tiles, another one of our most favorite products! They are expensive but for kitchen backsplashes that have such an impact overall they are worth the cost.

Kommenterade: Love the pendant lights!This was a remodel and we re-used existing lights, but you can find very similar fixtures at Rejuvenation - they are 'school house style' pendants. www.rejuvenation.com
