"Franco and his father Rene are experienced architects who came out to the site promptly, game planned a way to get approval for a multi unit triplex from duplex on the spot, and followed through each step of the phase. We successfully were able to get all city approvals in the city of LA. A+ Rating"

"We had a great experience working with Eran. He is a professional and is an expert in his field for our specific project, he handled all the structural work for the seismic retrofit and when my architect had a melt down, he even stepped in and took on that responsibility too. He collaborated with us and we spent the time to understand our needs and where we wanted to take the project. He made our life much easier by getting the building permits and worked with the planning department and the inspectors. Invaluable. We look forward to working with him in our next phase and would recommend him for future work."

"I have known Steven for almost twenty-five years, we have worked together on various projects in the Film/Television industry. Steven is a good designer who is versed in many styles and has a full knowledge of period details. He has a sound understanding of architecture and knows how to create useful and attractive spaces; heâ s also a genius when it comes to problem-solving. Heâ s up to date on all available materials and how best to use them. Steven has a strong work ethic and is very conscientious, and his sense of humor and light disposition puts anyone at ease; he gets along well with people. Recently, I had Steven draw up a ramp and a flight of stairs for the front entrance to our condo building, and as expected, he did a splendid job. We worked on the design together, and he prepared the working drawings and documentation. Then, he saw it through the local authorities here in Redondo Beach. I highly recommend him to solve any design requirements you might have."

"Fabulous work done by Encore Builders As someone who works in the interior design world- I have a discerning eye for quality and value. I am very impressed with the beautifully driveway Encore Builders created for me. Oz and Brandon were recommended by some friends. To be on the safe side i gathered many quotes from local companies and Encore Builders was still by far cheaper. Their price was half the price of some of the companies who quoted me and it was obvious those guys were not experienced nor professional. Encore Builders gave me a quote on the spot, an expected time frame, and later followed up with a clear and detailed estimate. They were able to finish the work in under a month and the outcome is stunning. Their work does not compare to other companies I’ve seen and I’m sure this will be the first of many projects."

"We couldn't be happier with our backyard project. Motti and Kimberly were just wonderful to work with. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive all throughout the process. They listened to our thoughts and educated us as to all our possibilities. Motti has a wonderful design eye and is so passionate about his work. We were very happy when we used them for the front of our house 4 years ago, this time around for the back, and we would use them again in the future. We recommend them highly."

Architects questions, answered by experts

A designer is a great choice for remodeling projects that don’t require significant structural work. For remodeling that includes structural work like removing load-bearing walls, altering exterior walls, or adding on a room, an architect can design and execute the renovations while ensuring your home remains structurally sound.

While towers and turrets are frequently present in Queen Anne-style houses, these design elements are not necessary for a home to be considered a Queen Anne. Turrets and towers add visual interest and unique interior spaces, but many Queen Anne homes do not contain these features. 

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.

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.

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.
