“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.”

“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.”

“Dennis Thompson worked closely with us to design a new home on our land, after our house was destroyed by a wildfire. He was sensitive and cognizant of the emotional factors going into the design process, given our circumstances. Dennis took us through the entire process, from design concept through City approval, from choosing a contractor through managing on-site building issues. Ultimately, we ended up with a beautiful, energy efficient home.”

“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.”

“I am truly very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with mbb architect for my remodeling project of my home. This is the first out of many remodeling experiences that I have had where I felt my remodeling needs were understood, valued and heard. I am impressed by the artistic talent, the vision and creativity. I would strongly recommend this company based on their level of professionalism and passion for design. I was further impressed by the architects' ability to gather relevant information and ability to help me make decisions. The architect was highly involved throughout the project and very responsive to my calls and questions throughout. This remodeling project has been very positive and I attribute that to the dedication, hard work and professional work conducted by mbb.”

“Liz Tiffin successfully blends creativity, space planning, budget, and a construction background to design fabulous layouts. Her suggestions were spot on and she happily incorporated my wish list into the design. She and my contractor worked seamlessly together. My only regret is I don't have more kitchens to re-do to have the pleasure of working with Liz again!”

“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.”

“Mark did an excellent job on designing our new bathroom. He was not only able to design and drawl our project to scale but also help with numerous other items that made the project go that much smoother. Mark did the following additional things for us: -Locating and coordinating scaled drawings from the home’s original architect. -Offering design input, during the initial visit and during drawing preparation -Coordinating with the City for a quick plan check and permitting process.”
