“Eugene Sakai stood out far above the pack of the 5 Architectural firms that we investigated to do our total house construction. He was simply the best to deal with, very professional, on time, and took a personal interest in the project, and within budget. We moved in 2 years ago and still love him and the contractor, C.W. Wright in San Carlos. We are pleased to show the house through Eugene Sakai at any time.”

“Robin is talented, realistic, practical, easy to work with, resourceful, and accessible. We have worked with Robin on many remodeling projects, and we wouldn't think of taking on a project without Robin on our team.”

“As a designer I work with many architects. I can honestly say none as conscientious, caring, and qualified as Brad is. He and the project architects in his office truly care about their work and know the latest codes and how to make space where there is no space. A designers and homeowners dream. Call Brad Cox for commercial or residential in the bay area. Kathy Monarch, Designer. www.monarchdesignsandstudio.com”

“Thayer never ceases to impress our firm with his incredible skills and capabilities. He is always professional, timely, and exceeds our expectations with each completed project. We have had an ongoing relationship with Thayer Hopkins and his firm for quite a few years, and we will continue to utilize his craft and expertise on many projects in the future.”

“I was introduced to Bess through a previous Designer I worked with who was retiring her business. She felt Bess would be a good fit for me and my job, and I knew from our first meeting she was right. Bess and her Studio 3 team came on the job when we completed the basic house conceptual plan. Her input and ideas only further enhanced the function of the floor plan. As well, her knowledge, expertise and practical approach has been so valuable especially as this is my first major house remodel. I have quickly found how easy it is to keep expanding the plan as well as the budget! She does a great job keeping me on track and realistic, which my husband appreciates! Bess has guided us through our Phase 1 of the crazy permit process for an in law quarters and is now assisting with our phase 2, the rest of the house., all the while setting expectations of how to work with the city. She is also great when working with your personal choice of contractors, although she provides her own top notch referrals. Her team is friendly and responsive. We still have a ways to go, but she is willing to work with you on what services you need in regards to your budget, which I appreciate. I've been in Real Estate for 13 years, and one thing I've learned is when you find great vendors, partner with them, keep using them and refer them! I've referred Studio 3 to two people / clients with different styles and both have been thrilled to work with her. I would highly recommend you give Studio 3 and Bess a call for your next large or smaller project!”

“My husband and I are remodeling both of our bathrooms, and want to open up our kitchen area so it works better with the layout of our house. Marcus has been working with us and he's been fantastic. Even though it is just a remodel, he's given us so many great ideas to tie the whole house together, as well as help us understand what is worth spending money on for the long run, and where we could save. He's making the process really fun and exciting, and I can't wait to live in a house that is finally well designed and perfectly us. Also, he lives is San Luis Obispo, CA and we live in Santa Cruz, which I thought might be a problem when it came down to meeting one on one, but he was very flexible and has been shooting up to meet with us multiple times bringing beautiful sketches of ideas, or examples of materials for us to look at. I hightly recommend him for big or small projects. He's truely a professional.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Adam Mayer of Studio AMA on a full renovation for my childhood home in Palo Alto. As both architect and designer, Adam was tasked with modernizing the home while still honoring its core structure and spirit. Adam truly works in the spirit of collaboration. We never felt pressured or pushed into a style or aesthetic choice that wasn’t our own. It’s clear that Adam prioritizes the client’s vision, which is not always the case with other designers. From a logistical perspective, Adam is easy to reach and responsive. His attention to detail and research made the permitting process a breeze. He also stepped up to the plate on our behalf when our contractor tried to drop a key part of our architectural plan (which was already approved by a structural engineer and the city.) Many of Adam’s suggestions completely transformed our house into a space that is bright, airy, and spacious, while also being functional and family-friendly. We are so happy with our beautiful new home and have nothing but good things to say about working with Adam.”

“Laxmi, helped us to think about our needs when we were considering getting our landscaping done. Prioritizing our needs has proved very helpful. The backyard is utilized well. The design looks pleasing to eye and even though we have kept some decent amount of paver stones (saves water) it does not look harsh. Overall it we are extremely pleased with the results!”

“Andrew of CA2 Homes completed our remodel plan, structural drawings, electrical, plumbing layout quickly and got us San Jose city permit. They are easy to work with and charged reasonable fees. I recommend CA2 Homes for architectural plans and drawings.”

“Jennifer is an incredibly talented creative architect, but is unusually capable in the painful practical aspects of remodeling. She knows how to talk to contractors, deal with city permit processes, work with artistic kitchen designers, come up with creative solutions to seemingly impossible problems, and make sure you have what you need and want -- and things you didn't even know would be problems. We interviewed many architects for a difficult, challenging remodel, and she was heads above the others. She helped us deal with the countless inevitable problems that come up in remodeling, worked closely with the contractor, and saw the project through to completion. I can't imagine ever working with another architect, she's exceptional in all aspects.”
