Testimonials

  • Kyle is fantastic. Highly responsive, knowledgeable, and understanding. He describes the complexity of architecture and construction steps in simple terms, and never made me feel foolish for asking questions. He is visionary paired with realistic, and really listened to our us and our needs for the space. He has a great design eye, while taking feedback fantastically if we wanted to go in a different direction - as well as kindly coax us back if an idea of ours wasn't going to work! I can't recommend Kyle highly enough.

  • My wife and I recently completed a large design and build project, and Kyle’s services were excellent from start to finish. His professionalism, organization, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was always responsive, proactive in problem-solving, and kept everything on track, even with the complexities of our project. One of Kyle’s standout strengths is his deep knowledge of the local permit center and approval processes. His familiarity with the requirements, paperwork, and nuances of working with the city helped us avoid unnecessary delays and complications. He navigated the system efficiently, ensuring that everything was handled correctly the first time, which saved us both time and frustration. Thanks to Kyle’s expertise and dedication, we couldn’t be happier with the final results. We would gladly work with him again and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable professional—especially those needing guidance through the permitting process.

  • We worked with Kyle to design a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom ADU in the front yard of our home. Kyle was very knowledgeable regarding new California Senate Bills and Assembly Bills pertaining to ADU’s and helped us navigate the tricky approval process with both the Costal Commission and City. Kyle was able to take our input and create a design we loved that blended with our existing home and enhanced our curb appeal. Kyle was easy to work with and was persistent even when we received pushback from the city. We are very pleased to have worked with Kyle uand would recommend him to all of our friends and family. Thank you Kyle!
