“Rex is a fantastic professional. He did an amazing job of fully understanding the vision of my project. Any changes that I wanted or needed he was very quick to complete and discuss. Rex also has a great ability to communicate with his clients as well as with contractors and government officials. His attention detail and understanding of not only architecture but of the entire construction process was a huge help. I would highly recommend Rex and his company to any of my friends or colleagues and will absolutely use him again.”

“We had a great experience with Phillip White, Laura Ayers and staff when building our new home in Manoa. They are professional, friendly, responsive to our needs as well as giving us superb ideas for the creation of our new home. They worked as a positive team, that really got along on all levels. Their working environment made us feel comfortable and welcome. We highly recommend them for any new clients/projects.”

“Bill Benjamin is brilliant when working with clients. He is the only architect in Honolulu who will fully collaborate with clients and not impose his artistic views as is the case with many other local architects. He is also highly intelligent and can solve many problems of design and construction that other architects have problems with.”

“Archipelago did an outstanding job designing our home. From the beginning of the planning, they were on top of things every step of the way. Their dedication, attention to detail and follow through far exceeded our expectations. They were worth every dime. I most strongly recommend their work. ”

“Fujuita+Netski are a powerful punch for architecture and design. We hired them to work on our 1946 Manoa Hawaiian home. They kept the essense of it's style but transported it smoothly into 2012. The team are well trained professionals that team up with a contractor, H1 construction. Together they worked seemlessly to meet you to make your dreams come true. All along they way they showed us what our kitchen would look like with power point presentations, laser models or watercolors. We did an entire kitchen remodel including demoing 2 walls and reframing rooms took approximately 2 months. Our goal was to keep a clean classic Hawaiian plantation feel of Manoa with modern clean lines. The final product looks like it has always been there. They incorperated several unique items like a moveable island, surfboard racks shaped like paddles and gave us a walk in pantry. The flooring is holding up great and we can cook with all our friends with lots of space. We added some modern bling with the dark countertops and kept shaker style cabinets that are so high quality they make hardly any noise when they shut. The back splash was made just for us too, its 3 large pieces of tempered glass painted the color of the ocean. perfect for 2 surfers. Fujita+Netski is not afraid to try new daring things (notice the octupus wallpaper) and can pull them off with style. Not only are they friendly and talented the product is exactly what you want at the end of the process. We saw the team at least 2-3 times a week . They are easily available via text message or email. You will be happy and cannot lose with their sense of design.”

“Jimmy did an outstanding job with the design and architectural plans for my 12,000 sq ft home here in Hawaii. Although the project took much longer to get to the build stage (not at any fault Jimmy's), he stuck with his original quote and time frames for billing. We had many meetings together during the design and build phase and made all necessary changes to the plans along the process. And as a result our home won the AIA Peoples Choice Award and a Merit Award with the BIA. The fees i paid were reasonable and the end result was outstanding.”

“I had a great time with John at Lapis Design Partners. He worked with me from the very first meeting to the final walk through process of my house located at Kahala neighborhood in Honolulu. He spent a great deal of his time into this project since I was not in full time residence during the process. We communicate over email, phone conversation and fax very intensively. He and his partner, Susan as a professional long-time interior designer always respected my views and wishes toward this dream house. I enjoyed the relationship with John during the process and appreciated very much for his professionalism as an architect and his responsiveness to the job. The results came much more than my expectations. We received one of AIA Honolulu awards. Most importantly, my time during the process was enjoyable ! Highly recommended.”

“Victor "Dean" Sinco is an excellent architect and he has an excellent team of drafts-people at Entheos. He is both creative and practical. He comes up with ideas that look good but are also cost-effective. He knows how to make new construction match original construction. He is great at supervising the work and coming up with solutions on the spot for any problems. He has always responded to me in a timely way. He has done both large and small projects for me. For one large project, he designed a guest suite addition to my house that added a laundry, kitchen, and screened porch to an existing bedroom and bath. At the same time he designed a roof extension, a new laundry room plus a solar water heater room, and a complete renovation of two bathrooms, one of them handicap. A few years later, he turned a walk-in closet into a half-bath plus a smaller closet and turned garage storage into interior storage. Recently, he designed a fence, gate, and lanai for me. I will continue to use him for any future projects.”

“Jamie Jackson and her team are incredibly creative and versatile in their design work. They know how to work quickly, effectively and within budget and they have developed great communication tools for their projects. Once a design is agreed upon their implementation and installation are seamless -- professional, on-time, and as promised. Having worked with Jamie on a few occasions, I can highly recommend her to anyone considering her services.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Rocky Arnold for 15 years now, and most recently had the pleasure of working with his company to create a ADA-complaint house for my daughter who is in a wheelchair. Rocky was able to take plans provided by my builder, and work to adapt them to make a space that would allow my daughter the most freedom possible. His knowledge and experience was invaluable in making sure all spaces accommodated her needs now and as she grows. We have been in our house 4 years now, and to say our house was life changing for my daughter and my wife and I would be a understatement. My daughter has a level of independence we never thought possible, and Rocky’s designs were perfect. He was very patient throughout the design process and always had a way of taking our concerns and solving them in innovative ways. I’ve referred several of my closest friends to Rocky and Ohana design, and would recommend anyone who needs an architect do the same.”
