"They were extremely professional and were able to execute a beautiful space layout combined with interior design. My home has some very odd dimensions and they were able to make my living room actually functional. They created an optimal flow from my dining area to my kitchen as well. I am so happy with all the curated pieces to make our home feel bespoke. My husband and I had a somewhat limited budget, so they were able to mix and match some very high-end pieces with some commercial pieces from Crate & Barrel, HD Buttercup, and even some great finds from FB marketplace!! Every time we step into our home, it makes our hearts so happy just looking at how everything came together. We will definitely come back to A Design when it is time to expand! Thank you!!"

"The work Erdelyi associates did is great, but communication and timeliness were lacking. I didn’t have a consistent point of contact throughout the project - it just seems my project was handed off from one person to the next with no continuity and I had to proactively reach out for updates."

"Working with Dee and his team was a great experience. From the initial consultation Dee had creative ideas and a vision for what could be done to maximize the use of our yard. Aside from giving us more usable areas, it was also a project that increased the beautification of our space. He has a team of incredible craftsmen who were very meticulous with everything they did. The construction was high-quality, thoughtful, and everyone was extremely knowledgable about each piece of the project. This was the first big outdoor renovation my husband and I have taken on and I feel very grateful we found Dee and his team. Working with them has been one of the best investments we’ve made in our home. We were in great hands and have additional projects planned with them."

"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!!"

"If you?re here looking for an architect, look no further. Francisco is the man for the job. He helped us with a garage to ADU conversion. Francisco kept us informed and communicated with us throughout the entire project. He was very professional, helpful and patient. We had tons of questions and he had the answers. He is very efficient and great at his job. We would hire him again with no hesitation. Thank you Francisco for making for making this process a breeze!"

"Our experience with Green Republic Landscapes was outstanding! From the moment we contacted the company we were greeted with friendly voices and deep understanding. Motti, and his team are highly knowledgeable, creative, and professional! Their attention to detail and ability to execute their plan was above what we imagined. We felt listened to and understood! Motti ensured that he talked us through each step of the process and touched base constantly before moving on to the next step. We searched and shopped around and found that Green Repulic Lanscapes pricing is the best one on the market for all they offer and create. If you are looking for landscape professional call Green Republic Landscapes. Ohad & Shirly Bendavid"

Architects questions, answered by experts

The best height for a pizza oven is one that allows the user to easily see what’s going on inside and comfortably place pies without having to crouch over. In general, that means the opening should be between 36 and 48 inches off the ground. By contrast, the height of the dome is totally up to your preference, because different heights create different results. Shorter domes are better for creating Neapolitan-style pies, whereas taller domes are ideal for NY-style recipes.

You should have an architect involved in your project from the very beginning. They’ll be able to direct your vision into workable plans, and they can advise you on potential problems right from the start. You may be able to save money by not using an architect, but larger projects will go much more smoothly with an experienced pro directing the process.

While you will always work with a team of professionals at some point during your home build, homeowners with experience can take on some part of the process. Manage the initial brainstorm, brief writeup, and floor layout phase with minimal assistance before contacting a general contractor. And while you can purchase stock blueprints for some home designs, it's always best to speak with professionals when choosing one ideal for your property.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.
