He was easy to work with, listened carefully to the project requirements, and quickly delivered high-quality plans. When the city requested amendments during permitting, Brian addressed them promptly and professionally, keeping the process on track. His responsiveness, attention to detail, and kind, professional demeanor made him a pleasure to work with. I would gladly recommend Brian to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable architect. **★★★★★ — Charinde Perera, Dec. 2024** > I had the pleasure of working with Brian Soucy on a remodel which included adding about 600 sqft. I cannot express enough how impressed I am with his talent and professionalism. Brian demonstrated exceptional creativity, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of our needs and vision. > > Brian listened carefully to our requirements, provided insightful suggestions, and ensured that every aspect was included. > Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Brian was always available to answer questions via email, address concerns, and provide regular updates, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. > Overall, I highly recommend Brian Soucy for any architectural project. His expertise and professionalism make him a standout choice in the industry. **★★★★★ — HU-334059479, July 2022** > I worked with Brian on an ADU for my home and he made the process so easy. He will be my first call on my next project. **★★★★★ — Ten Eyck & Keegan, Inc., Feb. 2020** > Our firm has worked with Brian on two new homes in Studio City and we definitely plan on working with him on our next project. Brian is an experienced professional and has a complete understanding of what it takes to attain planning approvals and project building permits. > > Kevin Keegan > Ten Eyck & Keegan, Inc. > General Building Contractors **★★★★★ — Jae and Stephen Siercks, Feb. 2020** > We worked with Brian on a complete remodel of our home in Studio City. We went from 1700 feet to 3200 square feet, including adding a second story. > > Brian was phenomenal to work with--he took a project that seemed nearly impossible and turned our existing home into a brand new house. He was able to use part of the existing structure to maintain the facade of the home, and integrate the second story making it look as if the home was always 2-story. The addition looks completely organic on the inside as well. Brian was also able to clearly take our feedback and wish list and incorporate it throughout the design, and seamlessly catered to our aesthetic. We can't recommend working with Brian enough on a home remodel or full design of a new home. **★★★★★ — Real Property Management South SFV, Feb. 2020** > Brian has designed plans for our new 2-story home in Encino. > He was very helpful and professional. Brian gave us many great ideas about the home, he is always responsive and it's a pleasure to work with him. I would highly recommend Brian for any architectural project. **★★★★★ — Ashley Iglehart, Oct. 2016** > I had an excellent experience working with Brian. He helped me turn my ideas of my dream kitchen into reality. He was very knowledgable about kitchen design space and function. I would recommend Brian for any design project. **★★★★★ — RedSetter Building & Development, Aug. 2016** > Brian has designed several new homes for our Company. He has proven himself, each time, to be creative in his approach to the project and in his problem solving abilities. He's straight forward and delivers when he says he will. It is always a pleasure to work with Brian. **★★★★★ — ecpro2014, March 2016** > Brian was very helpful, professional, and thorough throughout the design process. He made suggestions that save me a lot of money. I am happy with the results and recommend him highly. **★★★★★ — johnleftwich, Feb. 2016** > We had a great experience with Brian when he worked for us, giving us his ideas and plans for a 2nd story addition with soundproofing for a music/media studio and bath. He knows how to insulate and design studios and media rooms. He was easy to work with, communicated clearly, and implemented our ideas into a realistic workable design. We will hire him again! **★★★★★ — ATMAK Construction, Feb. 2016** > Brian has done numerous jobs for us and is very adept at creating designs that are exact to your specifications. He has extensive knowledge of the entire permit process. Excellent communication skills, always responsive and responsible.
