"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 asked the right questions about our project and I knew by how he spoke to me about the project that he understood what needed to be done to get started. Mark pursued the information needed from city planning and permits to the specifications and details about our swimspa which is the focal point of our project. We've been delayed in demolition and construction because of Covid-19 but I know it will get done and be perfect because of Mark's team and their meticulous attention to detail. I can add more when our project is complete!"

"OMG, what a great experience! Team2 came up with a great design for our home addition, was detailed in design and requested changes and worked with us through the city process for permits. The addition turned out great and would thoroughly recommend Team2 to any person seeking professional architect services."

"I worked with Jamie on a complex AB-2533 project in Marin, and he absolutely delivered. He created fully stamped plans that met every Marin County Fire Department requirement, stayed on scope and on budget, and most importantly guided me through an unusually challenging permitting process. Jamie is professional, reliable, extremely knowledgeable about Marin’s codes, and communicates clearly at every step. If you want an architect who can navigate the county, produce high-quality plans, and actually get your project over the finish line, Jamie is the one. Highly recommended."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Fees depend on project size, design complexity, required permits, materials, labor, and whether additional consulting services are included.

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.

While Craftsman-style houses are bungalows, cottages typically aren’t, though they can be. But they also differ in other stylistic aspects. For instance, cottages usually have simpler designs and painted woodwork.

In most cases, you should hire a draftsperson for simpler projects like minor home renovations, and you should hire an architect for new construction, structural changes to your home, and large home add-ons. If you’re working on a larger project that demands an architect or structural engineer, your professional will often have a draftsperson on staff and include their services in your estimate.
