He made all of the architectural drawings and designs for our gut renovation. Matthew helped beyond my expectations. He is a great communicative, met all deadlines, delivered top notch work, and offered invaluable design solutions (his sense of design is excellent). He also coordinated complex tasks with our contractor, made fast revisions as the engineering plans required, and helped us find new square footage in our home that we hadn't imagined. He had constant creative approaches that helped turn our near down project into a true dream house. Most importantly Matthew is just a delight to work with. He is upbeat positive, and has countless skills to help any project. **★★★★★ — Daniel Kronovet, July 2022** > Matt helped us design a conversion of a gorgeous Craftsman into a 10-bedroom coliving house. He was very creative at adapting the existing house to purpose, and was able to preserve much of the original charm. He was also very helpful getting our permits approved in a timely fashion. Great experience! ## Selected projects - [ARO\_NEW CONSTRUCTION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/aro-new-construction-pj-vj~2742488) - Location: Los Cerritos, Baja California Sur - Photos: 13 - Description: Gound Up Single Family Compund - [LEW\_MASTER BATH REMODEL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lew-master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~2742480) - Location: Beverly Hills, CA - Photos: 2 - [LEW\_GUEST BATH REMODEL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lew-guest-bath-remodel-pj-vj~5552018) - Location: Beverly Hills, CA - Photos: 5 - [STR\_REMODEL + MASTER PLAN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/str-remodel-master-plan-pj-vj~5460899) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 7 - Description: Interior/ Exterior Remodel [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/matthew-remington-manion-pfvwus-pf~1417943085) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/163324793/list/wish-list) — 3 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/163324792/list/wish-list) — 1 idea - [BAK\_](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111192607/list/bak-) — 26 ideas - [contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111192507/list/contemporary) — 4 ideas - [minimal](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111192565/list/minimal) — 3 ideas - [modern hillside](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/106202757/list/modern-hillside) — 13 ideas - [bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111192225/list/bathrooms) — 1 idea - [ARO\_](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/73254299/list/aro-) — 20 ideas - [PAC\_](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/70221066/list/pac-) — 13 ideas - [LAN\_](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69693627/list/lan-) — 2 ideas - [Orchard Church](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69670034/list/orchard-church) — 20 ideas - [LOU\_](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/70757627/list/lou-) — 40 ideas - [GRO\_](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/74906335/list/gro-) — 27 ideas [See all 13 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/matthew-manion) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
