"Working with Francisco and his team was amazing! From start to finish, they made the whole process of remodeling my house so easy and stress-free. Francisco really listened to what I wanted and came up with creative ideas. He was very responsive and always kept me in the loop. The final result is even better than I imagined. My house looks incredible and I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family."

"I had the pleasure of working with Igino Pellizzari on several projects for our home in Novato, CA, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He designed several stunning pergolas that have transformed our outdoor spaces into inviting extensions of our home. He also developed a thoughtful concept for a barn and guided us through multiple design concepts for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) for our daughter s family. Throughout the process, he balanced creativity with practicality, offering innovative solutions while keeping our goals and budget in mind. What impressed us most was his ability to listen carefully, provide thoughtful insights, and bring a high level of professionalism to every stage of the project. I wholeheartedly recommend Igino to anyone seeking a building designer who combines vision, skill, and genuine care for his clients"

"Mark Brand asked all of the right questions and worked tirelessly with the city permit department to make sure everything we wanted to do would be approved. Beyond being amazing on the phone with the city, his design fit with our mid-century home and anyone who has seen it is amazed at the transformation of our small back yard. We started this project with Mark in 2019, long before COVID-19, and completed the major construction in October of 2020. The actual construction began in May 2020 with demo, to completion in October 2020. Mark and his staff were with us through the entire process, communicating with our Contractor and Pool installer and keeping everyone in the loop and on track. I had never worked with an architect before, and feel grateful that my first experience was with Mark Brand and his team. Fees are explained up front, and although the fees were a healthy part of our budget, I know I got what I paid for! Communication with email and phone calls, as well as site visits were always timely, with any issues explained and problems worked through and resolved to avoid delays."

"Michael is very professional and knowledgeable. He took time to measure our place, explaining things could be done in different ways. I consulted with few others. He honestly gave me his advice that my ADU is not feasible money wise at the time being. Eventhough I took his advice and decided not to proceed with project. I really appreciate his expertise,his time and honesty. Thanks Michael."

"Shilpa working with her structural engineer completed all the architectural and structural plans and calculations for a 400SF single story addition, complete with drilled piers and grade beams, in just over two months for submittal to City for review. Shilpa is very easy to work with and is quite readily available to fit my work and project schedule. Shilpa is very responsive to my comments and timely completion of required documents. Cost is reasonable. City has few review comments and issued permit for construction. I would definitely retain Shilpa again when the need comes up."
