"Working with A. was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my remodel. From our first meeting, they really listened to what I wanted and brought ideas to the table that I hadn’t even considered. They found the perfect balance between style and functionality, making my home not just beautiful but also incredibly livable. Throughout the process, they were easy to communicate with, super responsive, and always on top of things. Remodeling can be stressful, but they made it as smooth as possible. The attention to detail was next level—I kept noticing little thoughtful touches even after the project was done. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Andi was friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for an architect who genuinely cares about their work and their clients, A. is the way to go. Highly recommend!"

"I am a homeowner who did my own home remodeling architectural design. Even though I had architect degree, but I had never done any project in Los Angeles. As everybody knows, Building and Safety has tons of regulations to follow, which made the permitting process especially difficult. I was so lucky to work with David, my structural engineer, who is very sharp, knowledgeable and hardworking. Not only did he deliver his structural design on time but also he guided me through with all details of my architectural plan. He is very responsive and generous about sharing his knowledge. It was such a surprise when David got me the permit over the counter from the city office with only one attempt, which expedited my remodeling project timeline for at least two months. Definitely recommended!!"

"We waited for an architect to help us with getting permit to remodel our bathrooms, 2 months went by and we got nothing. We decided to give Homeguide/Angie a try, and that's how we found Leslie with Leslie Andersen Consulting. We were told that the entire process could take 6 months and longer. To our surprise, from our very first conversation with Leslie to the day we have the permit issued was 3 months. Way ahead of schedule. It must have been the very clear plans she created and all the details she added that we didn't have much of back and forth with the city. Besides great attention to detail, she is an excellent communicator, a good listener, cheerful personality and down to earth at the same time. Most importantly, she really cares about what she does! It shows through her work. Last but not lease, we thought her fee was very reasonable - our contractor told us what to expect, Leslie's fee came below the mark. Thanks Leslie for helping us, we can't wait to make your drawings the reality. :)"

"I?m a real estate investor and I?ve used Design1 Studio for three projects now ? two ADUs and a small lot subdivision. They understand the investor mindset and don?t over-design things. They know how to maximize square footage while keeping construction costs reasonable. That?s rare."

"Hired Pacific Sands after we lost our home in the Eaton Fires in Altadena. We were very happy with their team and the designs they finished for us. Their permitting team was amazing too, so happy they were able to help with that part of the process. too."

"Curt is a professional who is as real as it gets. He won't lie to you and will tell you the God's honest truth; something that is ever so important when you are departing with a sizable amount of money. He will tell you realistically what you are looking at with budget things, and I cannot stress how important and appreciated that was for us. He is super professional and very good at what he does, and we are so happy to have found him!"

They are very hard working, gets the job done right and on time, PRICED VERY FAIRLY!, They donâ t complain about changes to the project when they come, and doesn't try to break your pocket for these changes. All in all they are very professional, and whether you are building or remodeling for personal use and need an architect or a licensed contractor then BuildForm Design is the way to go, I'm a professional developer and I will be using them for all my projects!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Greek Revival architecture was popularized in America in the early- to mid-1800s, around the time when archaeologists were discovering buried ancient Greek buildings. As a means of celebrating the democratic government in ancient Greece, American architects borrowed from those newly discovered buildings as a way to emphasize that America would remain a democratic country in the wake of the American Revolution.

Architects can cater to both residential and commercial projects, tailoring their approach according to the specific sector regulatory requirements.

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

While many different factors determine whether a house is classified as a villa, many villas are detached homes with a European design influence, often with an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Modern villas often feature outdoor spaces such as terraces, gardens, or patios.

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.
