Mark transformed my Victorian era single family home in the Castro into a tastefully designed blend of modern mixed with some of the original detailing. Like most Victorians the house had a very choppy floor plan with a lower level that had been added on by the former owners without permits. Mark's designs fixed all the issues that I had with the layout and optimized the space to make it truly functional, including creating a really nice open kitchen/family room/dining room that expanded the usable kitchen space to twice the size of the original and reclaiming outdoor space that was previously unusable. The project was a complete renovation down to the studs and completely transformed the space. Mark was easy to work with and created options for me to consider that addressed all my needs. He would listen to my suggestions and provided creative solutions and alternatives above and beyond what I had initially considered. In the end, I was very pleased with how the project turned out...even better than I had imagined. I would highly recommend Mark for your next project.

I've been in the residential kitchen and bath industry for over 40 years. I've had the privilege to work with many great professionals over the years and I certainly consider Mark one of them. What I most enjoy is the no nonsense approach in the client meetings, design process and in the finished creations. These space are strong, intelligent yet welcoming. That's no small trick, it's a rare talent. I will work with Mark at every opportunity. He makes us all look better as a team. Highest recommendations.

Mark Brand and his team did a fabulous job of my home remodel. Before I found Mark, I had solicited design ideas and bids from two other firms. These designs were not up to par. It was such a delight to meet Mark and work with him. He quickly was able to see my vision, and created a beautiful design that worked within the framework of the existing home. He helped me formulate a modern makeover of the home, that stayed within budget. The results did not disappoint, and I still receive compliments about my home! I really appreciated his pleasant personality, humor, creative insight, responsiveness, and flexibility throughout the project.

I hired Mark for 2 projects. I had some architectural issues; Mark and his team came up with some attractive solutions. The process went smoothly thanks to Mark staying on top of all aspects of the projects. I also get many compliments on the finishes used throughout my place. One of the reasons I reached out to Mark was the amount of light in his projects and he delivered on this as well. I would definitely hire him again.

Mark Brand Architecture is a terrific company to work with. Mark and his team are highly professional taking into great consideration not only the needs of the client but also being sensitive to keeping good will with the neighbors so projects develop smoothly. Mark is amazingly adept in navigating the permitting process, he has impeccable taste, and an elegant design aesthetic. Mark's firm did a complete remodel of our house in 2006. In 2010 because we were temporarily living on the east coast, we worked virtually with his firm to design a fantastic top floor master bedroom suite with a huge walk in closet, soaring ceilings, vast pictures windows, and gorgeous terraces. Working virtually is not always an easy thing to do but we gladly gave Mark's firm the keys and free access to our home and were more than confidant that we would come home to a beautiful addition. And we did. Our master suite is gorgeous. Mark's firm also designed the remodel for my mother's home. Now, what better recommendation can beat that?

We worked with Mark to remodel our house. Mark and his team were very good at listening to our requests and provided various design options that could work for us. Mark was very quick in providing the feedback for design changes we requested and also solved some difficult structural issues. When we were at the end of our initial project, we decided to remodel an additional bathroom. Mark was very happy to help us and came up with some excellent ideas to best use the space. We are very happy that we hired him as our architect.

I love working with Mark Brand Architecture and couldn't be happier with the results to date. Mark and everyone on the team are great listeners and couldn't be more professional. They capture every detail and then turn your ideas into a beautiful, quality design. They are very responsive to changes and are great problem solvers. I also enjoy working in 2D and 3D, as it makes it so easy to envision the project and make better decisions.

I selected Mark for a total renovation and new design in the downstairs unit of my 1800's Victorian flat. This unit had been designed in the early 80's by an architect who must have been on LSD! There is no other logical explanation for the rat-maize of a unit I acquired when I bought my house. This project was a 1500 ft 3 bdrm / 2 bath total gutting and renovation, included structural and foundation/footing changes and additions, including installation of steel beams and seismic retrofitting of the house, Mark called after only a couple of weeks, and already had 5 different layout options available for my initial viewing. I was pleased with the first design, but each design he showed me was better than the one before it! I selected his last design, but took a couple of miner items from a couple of his other drawings and added them in. Mark was creative and timely in his work product, reasonable in his pricing, and extremely easy to work with! Other than having to pay him for his work, working with Mark felt like working with a friend! Attentive, creative, and I always felt like he was looking out for my best interest. I was acting as my own GC, and Mark and/or his assistant even help me later in the project, when I needed someone to guide me through some of the major structural changes I was making, where I did not have the expertise and knowledge to do them on my own. If I had it to do all over again, I would not hesitate to hire Mark again for this or any other project I might have. He and his staff are extremely professional and easy to work with, and I have already recommended him to others.

We hired Mark to design two bathrooms and a laundry room. He did a wonderful job helping us figure out what we wanted, and made the whole process very easy. He had great ideas for our small space and helped us pick out the perfect finishes. He is incredibly talented and responsive, and we would highly recommend him. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mark and his firm.
