Igino Pellizzari is the Sole Proprietor of IVP Design Studio. He has been involved in building design for over 35-years in the San Francisco Bay Area . From 2004 to 2012 he was a Principal and Director of Design of the licensed architectural firm Studio Abitare in Emeryville, CA. Currently Igino is providing his services as a Residential Building Designer under California Business and Professions Code 5537 that does not require a license. If the scope of a project exceeds Section 5537 limitations, then Igino works with a registered structural engineer who will provide the specifications and calculations for that scope plus sign and stamp the documents. This is an invitation to work together, to begin a conversation to understand your goals, explore options and opportunities, and get to know each other so that we may collaborate to arrive at the best solution to achieve your objectives. Igino would look forward to the meeting with you to start the process and begin next steps.

" After purchasing our historically registered Maybeck house which had been neglected for years, Igino worked with us to bring the house up to current building standards (new foundation, electrical, plumbing, and most recently, taking on the challenge of replacing a chimney situated in the middle of the house.) In addition to these basic but very important improvements, Igino worked his way through the rest of the house, interior and exterior, consulting with us and making updates in keeping with the design integrity of the home (including a full kitchen re-model.) Finally Igino re-designed and managed from the bottom up (foundation to new pitched roof) the construction of our backyard cottage for which he received a design award from the Piedmont Architectural Design Committee. Igino is a pleasure to work with. He listens. He communicates well. He pays attention to the budget. He’s dedicated to getting the job done right. "

"I was referred to Phani at AxisTerra Design by structural engineer I hired for my home renovation project to remove load bearing walls in living room. The referral is like god send in a stressful state where my home renovation project permit is pending for 2 months and San Jose city came back asking for kitchen architectural plans for permit issuance. Phani very quickly helped and provided the design plan in two days. He followed up with me multiple times to get all the details needed to avoid back and forth iterations. Phani shared the plans on the same night at 10 P.M. Once, I confirmed the next, he shared the stamped plans. I already referred AxisTerra Design to a friend for his home renovation project, and without any doubt or hesitation recommend AxisTerra Design for any home renovation project."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

Designs typically take 2-6 months, depending on factoring, project size, and customization needs. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time for approval and revisions.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

Yes, professionals will offer tailored solutions to fit architectural and personal style preferences.

The cost to draw up housing blueprints ranges from $800 to $2,700, depending on several factors. Blueprints for a custom home cost between $5,000 and $20,000, and extraordinarily complex designs can easily surpass the high end of that price range. The experience level of the architect will also affect the cost, as more experienced professionals can charge higher rates.
