“We are currently involved in a large project in Monticello, California designed by Tom. This amazing design is beginning to take shape and will showcase the clients desires perfectly.Tom was instrumental in connecting with us through the Client.. Tom has been very professional throughout the choosing of the hard surface and architectural elements to be placed in the home. It is always nice to find through, and thoughtful professionals to work beside.”

“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.”

“Superb architect, understands a multitude of styles, works closely with clients to develop ideas that are not only practical, but aesthetically enhancing the livability of each project that she engages with.”

“Kent was a great listener, followed through, and was available as the project progressed. Highly recommend him for his professional approach, attention to detail and anticipating our needs.”

“Our firm collaborated with NMA Architects on a large scale project for over 7 years. In every aspect, they exceeded our expectations, and were in our opinion, ideal creative partners for this project. We look forward to the opportunity to work together again soon.”

“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!”

“Skedio Studio’s team was very professional through out the whole process. They made sure we were satisfied with the plan and that the City approved everything.”

“We worked with Adam Sharkey from Blackbird Associates on our award-winning Alma Rosa wine tasting room remodel. Adam was a true team player for the duration of the project, collaborating with both Allen Construction and our client on investigating and developing innovative design strategies to transform the client’s vision for the space into a reality. As builders, we appreciate architectural plans with very specific, detailed construction documents. We could always count on Adam to deliver. We would recommend Adam and the Blackbird team to homeowners and business owners alike.”

“Definitely recommend Glenn. Had a great idea, where others did not and then helped execute the plan. Home looks completely different and we are very happy with results.”

“Ellen has helped me on two projects and is about to start a third. She is creative, thorough and patient.”
