From the first meeting, the team took the time to understand not just how we use the space, but also what kind of atmosphere we wanted for family dinners and evenings with friends. They proposed solutions that were modern yet warm, clean lines natural materials and lighting choices that make the space feel inviting without being overdesigned. What I really appreciated was their attention to detail. Things like flow between the kitchen and dining area, sightlines to the garden and even how the furniture would interact with the architecture, all of it was considered. Communication was excellent throughout: clear updates, quick responses and they navigated the city requirements smoothly so I didn't have to. The result feels both stylish and deeply livable. Hosting dinners now feels effortless, the layout encourages conversation and the finishes add just the right amount of elegance. If you care about design that balances beauty with functionality, this team delivers. They're not just designing a house, they're designing a home.

The amount of attention to detail and quality exceeded what we expected. We have worked with other contractors before but I can easily say Eli was the absolute best. The professionalism and respect he had not only for us but for our space was what set him apart from the others. We provided some ideas and styles we had in mind and he was not only able to create it, he added many small details that elevated the space that we would not have thought of. The even better part was that all the remodeling work was done ahead of the initial timeline which reduced the impact it had on my children's school schedule and allowed us to resume our daily lives. I can wholeheartedly recommend Eli to the fullest if you need any type of remodeling whether big or small

And I'd say the same thing about Walter after working with him on a few projects over the years. From my experience working with other architects (both brand new construction and remodeling, all in the Bay Area) over 2 decades, remodeling requires a special skill set on architects, and not all can do it with the same skills and competence as Walter (many are great in designing brand new ones). And Walter excels at both (as I've seen brand new designs by Walter in our City as well). To name a few areas: Walter is very good at imagining the flow of the house' interior, therefore after construction, no one can tell it's a remodel! And he's very versatile in his design styles: traditional, rustic, contemporary, etc., as I've seen examples of them in our City. He also has an office crew that are excellent, from scheduling design discussions, to drafting, etc., so that things are always on track.
