"Jonathan and Design X Architects provided excellent service for our modest residential project. While small, our project brought with it certain complexities which were addressed skillfully and professionally. A major objective of the assignment was to clear City Plan Check with few corrections. The plans submitted accomplished that intent, as no plan check corrections were imposed and the plans were approved based on the initial submittal. Jonathan was clear in his communication and delivered exactly what he said he would do â always on or ahead of schedule. Speaking as an Architect myself, I would entrust a project of any size to this firm."

"I worked with Denise to remodel a bathroom and am very happy with the results. Denise helped us design changes to the bathroom and coordinated a reliable contractor. She sourced the material we needed and presented different sample options, which made choosing them simple. She handled the ordering and kept us updated on timing and delivery throughout the process. The design is beautiful and fits our home perfectly and the quality of work is exceptional. I highly recommend Denise, as she listened to what we wanted and helped us create an amazing result. She listens, manages the moving parts and is great at communicating! Denise is an excellent choice and I plan on using her in future projects."

"Peter was pleasant and clean in body and in work - he removed his shoes before coming in the house each time he went in or out. He was a half hour late arriving but he did call to let us know. I rated him low on the money scale because he was here ten minutes and fixed the problem however, his price was $100 for the call regardless so I couldn t argue but because I am a senior I thought he may have given me a break as he was here for so short a time. It won t stop me having him back to fix another problem."

Residential Design FAQs, answered by experts

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

Mediterranean architecture comes from traditional building styles of countries on the Mediterranean Sea mixed with French, Greek, and Moroccan influences. There are three main types of Mediterranean architecture: Italian Renaissance, Spanish Revival, and modern.

Some signature components of Mediterranean architecture include red terra cotta roofs, archways, stucco siding, and metal detailing on windows. These homes often have balconies and outdoor living areas.

An in-law suite is a private living area on or attached to a single-family home that acts as separate living quarters for family members. It is named for its common use of providing a private space for in-laws or other relatives to stay. Unlike a standard guest bedroom, a suite typically includes a sleeping area, a full bathroom, a small kitchen or kitchenette, and a living area. Larger suites may also have space for an office or laundry room, which can add utility and increase independence for guests and residents.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.
