Testimonials

“Kevin’s skill as an architect was evident in the countless creative solutions he devised to bring our 100+ year old home into the present.

Kevin did more than design a space that was simply beautiful or functional - he took time to understand us as people, and ultimately created a space that brings us so much joy. Our “new” house isn’t just nice to look at - it’s truly a pleasure to live in!”

Kevin is a very conscientious, thoughtful person and architect. We worked on a Berkeley mid-century remodel. I had a very difficult time deciding on budget and remodel items. It was great to work with Kevin because he was very patient and listened to what we needed in the remodel. His design is very reflective of our daily function and artistic bent. He also accommodated our schedule needs as we worked through the project. Kevin understands that real estate is a big investment in our area and has a keen eye for matching the function and artistry of remodels. We are very grateful for Kevin’s dedication to the project and sticking with us from the beginning to the end, and we recommend Kevin highly.

“We’re general contractors that have gotten to work with Kevin on a couple projects. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know and being able to work with him. It’s easy to tell that he loves what he does and it shows in what he is able to create. He stays very involved in the project and makes himself available at all times for questions. For successful projects, this is imperative. We worked together on a large remodel and addition that had its challenges. Kevin was able to take everything in stride, guide the clients throughout every aspect of the project and help us create details that work with the existing structure. I’ve recommended Kevin to clients and contractors and I will continue to do so.”
