Juana is patient, professional, and an astute listener. We were not exactly sure what we wanted but as we described various looks, and designs, and reviewed multiple Houzz "I like this look" pictures, Juana was able to extrapolate and compile a vision that we love. Our building process was longer than anticipated due to the City's changing requirements during COVID and our continually expanding scope of the project, but we were fortunate to have an architect who is well-versed in permitting applications and processes and knows Boulder extremely well. We found our builder through her and it was a perfect fit for us as a team! I can't say enough about Juana's talent as an architect and her graciousness --- she now is our friend for life! :) **Comment from Lawrence and Gomez Architects:** > Dawn and Craig, it was a great pleasure for me to work with you. Thank you for your kind words. Your project came together and the best outcome is that we also are now friends. Enjoy your house! **★★★★★ — Tracy Winfree, Feb. 2023** > We worked with Architect Juana Gomez on our home remodeling project to improve curb appeal, solve structural issues, improve energy efficiency, improve lighting and remodel dated interior spaces. > Juana is a great listener and designer, weaving our ideas and preferences into tasteful designs and effective solutions. Juana is very responsive and she worked collaboratively with our contractor through project closure. > We constantly receive positive feedback from neighbors as they walk by our home. We enjoy living with the improvements every single day. **Comment from Lawrence and Gomez Architects:** > Tracy and Bryan, thank you for calling me to work with you again on this latest project. I got to enjoy working with you a second time. Thank you for your steady focus and attention to detail. **★★★★★ — StudioTerra, Dec. 2020** > I highly recommend Lawrence and Gomez Architects for any remodeling project! Juana helped me with a full kitchen and master bath remodel and I couldn't be happier with the result! She has a wonderful design sense, knows how to work within a budget, and is a helpful bridge between homeowner and contractor. We completed the project during the early months of COVID, and Juana was able to work in this environment without missing a beat. **Comment from Lawrence and Gomez Architects:** > Carol, thank you for your gracious review. I enjoyed our time together designing your project and watching it get built. It is always a pleasure to work with smart, thoughtful clients like you. **★★★★★ — David Becker, Dec. 2020** > We reached out to Juana Gomez after first developing the concept for our major home remodel and validating the budget. She looked at the drawings and listened carefully to our ideas and objectives. Juana proposed a sensible process and we agreed to work together. She prepared a number of enhanced drawings for discussion and review (including a number of clever design enhancements), drafted the detailed construction drawings and other documents needed for permit submission, guided it through the City of Boulder permit process, and received approval for us on the first round and on schedule. She was pleasant to work with, professional in all aspects and a good listener. Not only did she have the big picture "vision", she could drill down to the details, collaborate with our engineer, and solve tricky problems. Her understanding of the City of Boulder building office practices and staff was exceptional. We couldn't have been happier with our experience working with Juana and have subsequently highly recommended her to others. **Comment from Lawrence and Gomez Architects:** > David, thank you for the kind words in your review. It was my pleasure to work with you and Ruth on the project. It is greatly satisfying to see the house completed. Your efforts as homeowner-GC are also to be commended. **★★★★★ — Bob Luhr, May 2019** > Juana helped us replace our conventional, enclosed, carpeted stairs with a steel and oak, open-riser, mono-stringer stairway. The result was a dramatic, modern, architectural element and we love it! When questions or problems arose, Juana was always available with advice and pragmatic solutions. We will use her services again and recommend her highly! **Comment from Lawrence and Gomez Architects:** > Bob and Anne, thank you for the review. It has been a great pleasure to get to know you better through this process. **★★★★★ — Cottonwood Custom Builders, Inc., March 2019** > Juana Gomez is wonderful architect, designer and planner. She's very organized and meticulous, and we can count on her to provide accurate and thorough drawings and specifications. She knows how to work through the often confusing governmental policies and procedures, easing the way through the building process for both homeowners and contractors. And she's a pleasure to work with, calm and thoughtful. We've worked with Juana on many projects and look forward to many more! **Comment from Lawrence and Gomez Architects:** > Dear Cottonwood colleagues, thank you for your kind words. I look forward to collaborating many times again. **★★★★★ — frank schrader photography+video, DENALImultimedia, Dec. 2018** > As a professional photographer I have photographed and documented several Lawrence and Gomez projects and have seen an impressing array of work. > I worked with Juana Gomez on those projects and before I start photographing I like to hear the story about the project and to learn about the design details. Juana is a good listener when it comes to client's ideas and visions and she is great in explaining all the thoughts that were put into a project and how eventually the vision of their clients was put into aesthetically pleasing and practical designs. That is something I enjoy as a photographer. > All the projects I photographed were custom designs, were very well executed and showed excellent craftsmanship, and love for details. I would highly recommend Lawrence and Gomez as an arcitecture firm. **Comment from Lawrence and Gomez Architects:** > Frank, thank you for your kind words. I look forward to having you photograph more of my projects. **★★★★★ — Jessica Chermak, Dec. 2018** > Juana has been such a pleasure to work with. We are first-time homeowners and she helped us to make decisions about the enormous project we did on our house. She kept us in the loop about everything (even the things we didn't really understand) and was quick to answer all of our questions and quell any concerns we had throughout the process. I cannot recommend Lawrence and Gomez Architects enough! **Comment from Lawrence and Gomez Architects:** > Jessica, thank you for your kind words. It has been a pleasure for me to work with you and Dave and to see your dreams take shape. **★★★★★ — Jennifer S, Feb. 2018** > Juana went above and beyond on this project. For a homeowner like me who’s never done a colossal renovation like this, she guided me from the beginning to the end. > > We met weekly to design, to get the City to issue the permit, to select stone fixture & hardwardware, etc. and mostly importantly, to solve issues/problems and to watch our budget spending. She demonstrated she’s very competent. > > Her kindness and dedication to this project truly show her professionalism. My gigantic gourmet kitchen, hall bath, master suite and bath are just fabulous. What else can I ask for? > > Juana came highly recommended before I met her. She listens to your needs and pays attention to details. If you’re looking for a professional, look no further. **★★★★★ — disslyduck, Oct. 2017** > Juana is a true professional with a friendly touch. She picked-up on some of my challenges in choosing designs and was very good at guiding me without telling me directly what to decide. Juana is always punctual and she runs a tight ship - expecting everyone else on the job to be equally punctual. Juana would answer every questions or immediately go do the necessary research if she didn't have an answer. I think my favorite thing about Juana is her rapport with the construction crew working on my house. She mostly knows workers by their first names and would treat everyone with equal respect. In turn, I believe the crew wants to give her their best efforts. I also like that Juana stays with her projects through the entire building process - even keeping track of the final "punch-list" and making certain there are no oversights. She has an eye for perfection. It has truly been a pleasure working with Juana on our home remodel. **★★★★★ — Classic Work Construction, LLC, Dec. 2016** > I'm a builder who has worked on 10+ projects with Juana since 2003. She is a gifted artist, a goodhearted person and always the consummate professional. I appreciated that I could always build directly from Juana's architectural plans with no surprises, she kept the customers informed at all times, and always designed with the customer's taste in mind. **★★★★★ — Richard Russell, Dec. 2016** > Our project was a major vintage house remodel in Boulder, CO, and we knew we needed an architect, not only a general contractor. Ms. Juana Gomez was given the job, and performed it admirably. Her strengths are great attention to detail, superior plan design and production (our contractor was consistently impressed with these), unquestioned honesty, and comprehensive service. We recommend Ms. Gomez unreservedly! ## Selected projects - [Pole Creek](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pole-creek-pj-vj~23542) - Location: Winter Park, CO - Photos: 13 - [Spruce House and ADU](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spruce-house-and-adu-pj-vj~1325564) - Location: Boulder, CO - Photos: 22 - Description: LEED Platinum candidate Boulder Green Home Tour I Have Dream Foundation's Dream Kitchens Tour - [Blue Sage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-sage-pj-vj~7148464) - Location: Boulder, CO - Photos: 6 - Description: A small addition on a house presented an opportunity to update the exterior and to bring the house up to compliance with the Wildland Urban Interface fire safety code. - [Mid-century Addition and Restoration](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-addition-and-restoration-pj-vj~1106630) - Location: Boulder, CO - Photos: 4 - Description: Craftsman warmth in this Mid-century Modern restoration and addition - [New Porch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-porch-pj-vj~7148444) - Location: Boulder, CO - Photos: 4 - Description: To modernize the street facade of this house we added a contemporary porch, new garage door, and larger windows.
