"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"

"I would highly recommend Christopher for his drafting skills.,his 3d software is especially useful for relaying the building concepts. In todays world it is rare to get a person on the phone when needed but Christopher was always there for me to answer questions and was quick to return requests. Be sure to give him all the necessary design criteria in the beginning to smooth out the design process for him which will ultimately save you money."

"“We were nervous about tackling a big remodel with two kids under five, but JKJang Design made the process so much easier than we imagined. They really listened to how we use our home day to day and designed a family-friendly layout that feels open, bright, and practical. The plans went through permitting smoothly and on schedule—something we know doesn’t always happen in Oakland. We’re thrilled with the result.”"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Costs vary depending on project complexity and scope. Architects generally charge a percentage of the total budget or an hourly rate for their services.

When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.

Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.
