Our collaboration was on an extremely ambitious, high-end architectural project, where we spent months working across from each other, literally in the same office, at the same large desk. We not only got along famously (day in and day out), but had an immense amount of fun together. Nenci is one of the happiest and joyful individuals I have ever worked with. In a business that can be at times stressful and filled with pressure, she consistently remains calm and always manages to muster a genuine smile, not matter what. I cannot recommend her enough. **Comment from nbuilt / Nenci Bates Studio:** > Eric, I would say the feeling is mutual. It is rare to find clients that you become so in tuned with. I think we ended almost finishing each other's sentences. A beautiful, creative time I will never forget. Thank you Eric for your kind words and I look forward to our next project together. In the meantime, let's get those shovels ready, CHEERS!!. **★★★★★ — Awaken, Jan. 2025** > Nenci is incredibly talented. Such great aesthetics and concepts for every part of your house. She helped us renovate our kitchen, and she did a beautiful job guiding us to the best countertops, appliances, sinks faucets. We love our kitchen and appreciate Nenci so much! > > We highly recommend her to help you with your renovation or building needs! **Comment from nbuilt / Nenci Bates Studio:** > Lauren, I really appreciate the opportunity to have worked with you on your project. It is always a breathe of fresh air when your clients are open minded to new and exciting ways to look at design and it's possibilities. Your selections really made the kitchen feel like a statement! I hope you have many many years to enjoy your masterpiece! **★★★★★ — Indian Wells & Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors, Jan. 2025** > NBuilt "Nenci" Bates , Is a wonderful and honest person. > > She always arrives on time, not only that. She always does what she says she is going to do. Her projects are finished on time with no delays. She bids the price and that is what you pay. NO COST OVERUNS !!!!! > > Nenci Bates professionalism is top in the industry and her talent goes hand in hand. The contractor knows how to think on her feet. When remodeling, you never know what you are going to run into with in the walls of a home. Nenci thinks around that and anticipates the problem before its a problem thus saving time and money. > Nenci is fair, reliable, honest and a pleasure to know and work with. > Thank you Nenci Bates for all of your hard work **Comment from nbuilt / Nenci Bates Studio:** > Kenneth, the pleasure is all mine. It has been a wonderful experience to work with you and your team. It is an absolute treat to see how you design so effortlessly. And yes, despite of how at times things can get "KABUKI", you always know how to see clearly through the challenges and create amazing results. Thank you for entrusting us with your vision and clients. ## Selected projects - [Laurel Canyon - John Sjoberg Architect - Mid Century](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laurel-canyon-john-sjoberg-architect-mid-century-pj-vj~416816) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 10 - Description: A careful restoration of a spectacular Mid-Century modern by Dutch Architect John Sjoberg.
