They were an absolute pleasure to work with and took on all details at every stage, including handling a difficult neighbor. At the same time, they were efficient and budget conscious, helping us stay on track both financially and time-line wise. They made what could be an overwhelming process move smoothly and enjoyably. We unreservedly recommend Winder Gibson.

We loved our experience and wholeheartedly endorse Winder Gibson to anyone looking for a full service architecture firm. From the outset, Geoff and his team demonstrated an exceptional understanding of our family's needs, which they transformed into a beautiful house design that resonates with our aspirations and lifestyle. We are currently transitioning to the construction phase, and are excited to raise our family in such a thoughtfully designed space. Also, Geoff and team are true experts at navigating the San Francisco permitting process. They efficiently moved us through permitting, both reacting to feedback from the city and helping us manage our neighbors. Honestly, we could not have permitted the house without their guidance. In a city where building homes can be difficult, the one two punch of beautiful design + the knowledge and skill to get it across the line was invaluable. We are so appreciative of Geoff and team.

He is first of all a man of integrity, talent and intelligence and second of all has a way of listening, probing and really 'getting' what you're looking for..and sometimes he anticipated or offered ideas that really furthered our thinking! He also brings years and years of all kinds of experiences, styles and a full range of budgetary understanding to his work. We had a fairly complex structural job done on completely remodeling our kitchen/family room and bath and within a couple of rounds of drafts he nailed it and then moved on to the final drawings. Ivan also worked beautifully with the contractor and structural engineer and made the whole thing work so well that we returned for a second project of remodeling our master bedroom. Ivan is the consummate professional and man of integrity and masterful ideas and follow-through!! He is an A+++ architect in our book and YES, we're now thinking of yet another project...!!

This is the second home he has designed for our family and in both cases we were 150% satisfied with the entire experience. The first house was ultra modern and I was not sure how he would feel about a traditional home. To say that the design exceeds our expectations is an understatement. He listened very carefully to understand my style and then came up with a very unique design. I have not seen anything like the kitchen he designed anywhere. He is very practical and has been involved in managing the contractor even though we are doing this long distance. He also helped in the selection of finishes eliminating the need for an interior designer in our case. This saved us a lot of money. There were no change orders related to his design. That is huge. His plans are very detailed and he got them through our local planning dept. very swiftly. He is very honest, ethical and has great inter-personal skills. Finally I think his rates are pretty reasonable by Bay Area standards. Whenever I encounter someone this good, I always yelp about it!
