Featured Reviews for Millbrae, CA Architects

Fougeron Architecture FAIA

Millbrae, CA Architects

26October,2012

“Anne Fougeron is a brilliant, inspired architect. She designed a stunning, unique home for us that incorporated all modern but also green and cost-friendly materials. Her designs are complex in their incipience while the resulting aestetic is clean, simple, and modern. She is committed to and involved in her projects and is always accessible for questions and guidance. She's also a fun and interesting person to work with.”

Cline Architects

Millbrae, CA Architects

17February,2013

“I have known Jim Cline for over five years. In 2007, my properties were damaged in a fire. I hired Jim to help remodel one building and design the other building from the ground up. He has been exemplary throughout the entire process particularly with the issues involving the many various San Francisco city departments. I would not have been able to maneuver through those departments without his expertise. His designs are innovative and modern. He is very thorough in every aspect of the design process. He works within the budget and gives a detailed accounting of his services. I would highly recommend him.”

Klopf Architecture

Millbrae, CA Architects

23February,2014

“My HOA hired Klopf Architecture to design new fences, front gates, lighting and paint color plans for our condominiums. They were designed in 1963 by Quincy and Jones and built in 1964 by Eichler Homes. Replacements in the 1990s did not serve the mid-century aesthetic well -- but owners did not want to return to the light-inhibiting original thin-line panel fences and gates. The Klopf team produced three outstanding options. The one we selected includes brilliant design features like frosted glass doors with 1/4-in spaces between fence boards to allow light in along with clear glass doors for the pool area with 1/2-in spaces between boards surrounding it. The overall design and color plan is clean and elegant. John Klopf and his team could not have been more friendly and flexible throughout. We look forward to implementing this design over the next few years.”

Bay 9 Architects

Millbrae, CA Architects

24February,2014

“The master bedroom,office and bathroom are superb. a big WOW. We couldn't be happier. Lun Chan Associates are artistic, creative, dependable, and very honest. The job was done on schedule and very reasonable....We highly recommend them.”

Mark Davis Design

Millbrae, CA Architects

25November,2015

“I would highly recommend Mark Davis Design having worked with Mark for over a year on the comprehensive redesign and enlargement of an 1875 house in San Francisco. Architecturally Mark's design was sympathetic to the original historic structure, whilst at the same time being thoroughly modern, rational and considerate of the construction process. Pulling a permit in San Francisco can be a long and frustrating experience, in fact it's probably the most difficult city to deal with in the United States. Thanks to Mark's (and the structural engineer's) efforts we got the project through the labyrinthine process as originally designed and in under a year, which is a great result for a lateral and horizontal addition to a historic structure in SF. Mark was easy to work with at all stages of the process and always produced work and responded to city questions/issues more than promptly. I'd definitely use the firm again.”

WA Design Architects

Millbrae, CA Architects

17May,2013

“David Wilson and WA Design have been the architects on two homes for our family, one in the Oakland Hills and one in Napa, California, on a rock-filled challenging site. They have been wonderful and responsive to work with, embracing our ideas in the spirit of collaboration. Designing and building a home is a very personal experience, and to be successful the firm you hire should be a pleasure to work with on many levels. This firm definitely is. David became a good friend during and after our process on the first home, and that made the second project even easier. Their style is warm contenporary, so easy to live in. I have contacted him about questions after the completion of both projects and he has been more than helpful, continuing to get information for me and share ideas. Both houses have hosted several events (best kitchens, touring unique houses, etc) and I continue to receive compliments: "I love your house, it's the best house architecture I've seen"; "I'm impressed by the views, light, organic flow and peacefulness of this homes", and many, many more positive comments. I strongly recommend this firm if you want to create a one of a kind home ! PS Hire them and I'll be jealous, I want to build a house with them again.”

Michael Tauber Architecture

Millbrae, CA Architects

23February,2011

“Michael Tauber did an excellent job of designing an addition for our Spanish style house in Albany, CA. Michael proved to be very innovative in coming up with a design that complemented the Spanish style, but also satisfied our needs for a more modern interior. One of our major needs was to be able to provide space for our large collection of books. Michael's design admirably provided such space, while making the library space very interesting. We highly recommend Michael Tauber.”

James Vaccaro Architect, Inc

Millbrae, CA Architects

31July,2019

“I've worked with James professionally on projects for others for close to 15 years now. His design skills and attention to detail are so compelling that we retained him to help us with a comprehensive renovation of our two-unit building. James developed the plans for the exterior remodel consisting of new exterior surfaces; all new windows, doors, and skylights; a new roof; and a deck in the backyard. Once work on the exterior envelope of the building was finished, James developed the design for our interior renovations including electrical, plumbing, and mechanical upgrades; revising the floor plan in the kitchen/dining room; and selection of finish materials. From design and permitting to contractor selection, he guided us every step of the way. James is a talented architect and truly a pleasure to work with!”

Hyland Design Group

“I had the pleasure of working with Natalie, the architect, principal and designer /architect of Hyland Design Group. She was professional at every level, prompt for appointments, and above all, designed a beautiful home for us . I cannot tell you the compliments we have received from so many people on the design and layout. I think what I liked most about Natalie is that she listens to what her client wants and does her best to achieve the desired style and design her client is seeking. She has been in the business for years, so she is highy experienced. Another huge plus is that we has an excellent reputation with the building departments in San Carlos and many of te surrounding cities.

We are looking forward to showcasing a few of our current projects soon! -Matt”

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Millbrae, CA who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?

An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Millbrae, CA, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Millbrae locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Millbrae, CA architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire California subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
