Testimonials

Patrick has tremendous design ability, strong interpersonal skills and is attentive to details. He assisted us in selecting a general contractor and he oversaw the construction process. We now have a beautiful home that has a nice mix of traditional details, a great layout, and other pleasing modern features.

Patrick was much more than an architect to us. At the time of the remodel we were extremely busy with our jobs and a new baby, and we trusted him to really execute on his design vision for our home. It was easy to work with Patrick, and we really appreciated that over the course of the remodel...

We’ve been living in our home for over seven years now, and we still absolutely love it! The house really reflects our family and our lifestyle, and this many years later there is still isn’t anything substantial that we would have changed. This is a home we want to live in for many years to come, and we are very happy to be raising our family here...

We have a really nice balance between simplicity and rich details, and we do feel that our home is exactly what we were looking for, “simple yet elegant.” Just about everyone who comes into our house for the first time comments on how lovely it is!

We had been considering a remodel and adddition to our 80 year-old bungalow in Mill Valley for several years but could never agree on the right solutions for our growing family. Patrick listened to what my wife and I were thinking, questioned some of our notions for the use of the remodel, and then presented us with different ideas that took into account aspects of our home life that we had not considered.

Some of the solutions were quite simple, involving a minor wall modification and relocation of furniture which we were able to implement immediately. Other ideas inspired us to pursue a more ambitious design that led to full construction documents, a permit, major construction, and additional living space for which we have a definite purpose and for which we are proud to present to friends and family.

During my twenty-plus years in real estate development, I have been let down by architectural firms who cannot deliver both excellent design and construction administration. Patrick’s firm has outperformed all my past experiences and I recommend them without reservation.
