I cannot write a more GLOWING REVIEWS about Juan. He turned what would have been a boring blank two story ADU into a work of art. So much so that the LA Times came to do a whole story on it. Juan was my partner every step of the way, every single detail was his. He is a true VISIONARY, and our home and our lives are forever changed by his work. **★★★★★ — David Auch, July 2024** > Juan Felipe is the best! Highly recommended for all of your architectural design service needs. He designed a beautiful home for me in Santa Monica. **★★★★★ — Wolfgang Korsch, Dec. 2019** > If you ever need to restore or renovate a house, Juan Felipe Goldstein > is the architect to pick. My wife inherited a house that was built in > the 1950s and a major overhaul was necessary. After looking for ideas > on houzz the presentation of Juan Felipe and his work caught our eye. > We still went through the process of interviewing a few possible > architects; however, Juan Felipe clearly emerged as our first choice. > Our interactions with him were always extremely pleasant. > In our opinion, one of his unique strengths is that he listens very > carefully to your visions and expectations. Then, after paying careful > attention to the wishes of his customer, he injects his own ideas. His suggestions clearly show that he has the experience, intuition, and feel how a renovation should be realized. We were extremely happy with his > propositions. Fortunately, we also decided to put him in charge of > overseeing the whole restoration project. He again surprised us with > his keen eye for details. Everything had to be perfect. > Although we stayed involved in every step of the renovation, Juan > Felipe's input was invaluable. We are delighted with the final > product. Without any hesitation, we would pick Juan Felipe again if we > are in need of an architect for a similar project. **Comment from Juan Felipe Goldstein Design Co Inc.:** > Dear Wolfgang. It was a pleasure to work for you and Susan, and thank you for your kind words indeed!! **★★★★★ — Susan Gardner, Dec. 2019** > My husband and I decided to keep and renovate my beloved childhood home, > that my mother and father had designed and built for them in the early 1950's. > It was important to us that the renovation retain > the charm and feel of the original house, but yet be completely updated > in its inner workings. Happily, and quite by chance, I came upon Juan Felipe's site on Houzz > and found examples in his portfolio of just what we wanted. > Juan Felipe did a beautiful job on our renovation. He was also > very involved in the selection of the contractor and in the > execution of the work, paying attention to its smallest details, > essentially helping to "quarterback" the entire project. We found his > close involvement key to the success of the entire project, > as we do not live in the area. During this process, Juan Felipe > did suggest some small design changes, and we went forward with > nearly all of them. As I recall telling my husband, > they turned out to be ones that I had never known I had always wanted. > We are completely delighted with how the house has turned out. **Comment from Juan Felipe Goldstein Design Co Inc.:** > Thank you, Susan, for your review, I enjoyed working for you two very much indeed! > We gave a new life to your mom's house how lovely is that! **★★★★★ — Kayla, March 2018** > We had a small house built in 1940 which we wished to update throughout and expand without destroying the home's original charm and character. Our goal was to maximize the house's potential, but within a well-defined budget. We are so fortunate that we found Juan Felipe to serve as our architect. He very quickly grasped our preferences and goals; beautifully rethought the existing space and designed a master-suite addition; helped us stay within budget; and honored the home's original character while helping us achieve the more modern look we desired. His professionalism, kindness, sensitivity, integrity, responsiveness, good humor, and great generosity with his time made the entire process as enjoyable and free of stress as such a process can be. We are ever grateful to him and recommend him wholeheartedly. **Comment from Juan Felipe Goldstein Design Co Inc.:** > Thank you very much indeed for your Kind words Kayla! it was a pleasure serving you! **★★★★★ — donnal poppe, Nov. 2017** > I highly recommend Juan as his designs are original and highly creative. He is a pleasure to deal with and very ethical. **Comment from Juan Felipe Goldstein Design Co Inc.:** > Thank you Donnal! What a nice review! It was great working with you and looking forward to future projects together. -Juan **★★★★★ — Jonathan Sternberg, Oct. 2017** > Juan Felipe (JF) has been wonderful to work with. Before we started working with JF, both my wife and I were impressed by the beauty of the projects he designed. We were then pleasantly surprised by JF's pleasant character, which is one of the most important things you should seek when working with a contractor. JF is kind, attentive, patient, and cares to listen to and satisfy his customers' wishes. > > JF created gorgeous, meticulously crafted floor plans, interior elevations, electrical, and carpentry plans--all of which, I believe, will provide our home with the touch we seek, and the beauty and elegance we were oping to land on. My wife and I are really excited about the prospect of starting to build the house that JF designed for us. **Comment from Juan Felipe Goldstein Design Co Inc.:** > Thanks for the kind review, I really appreciated, I enjoy working with you both a great deal ! **★★★★★ — Julie Hebert, April 2017** > Juan-Felipe designed our garage remodel and did a tremendous job. He was easy to work with, always on time and very reliable. He had fresh and interesting ideas, while still listening to our thoughts and keeping our needs and budget in mind. He did a great job planning the space and was very helpful in connecting us with a contractor and vendors. Juan-Felipe exceeded my expectations and I am looking forward to working with him again when we re-do our kitchen. Highly recommended. **Comment from Juan Felipe Goldstein Design Co Inc.:** > A great garage this was with a beautiful ceiling structure that needed to be kept, I think this is a successful little project the client is trilled and it feels right ! **★★★★★ — HU-763162, May 2016** > I have been hired as architectural photographer from Juan Felipe to document one of his residential project in Silver Lake California. Juan Felipe is a talented architect who has the ability to successfully mix modern lines with traditional decoration flavors. The final effect is a balanced and sober atmosphere that make you feel right at home. Very photogenic home! Has been a pleasure to photograph this project and make it look simply desirable. **★★★★★ — elvirabornstein, May 2016** > An eye for detail, form, function and beauty. An emotional result that will take your breath away. A true professional that takes his job seriously, is solutions oriented and has a low tolerance for mistakes. Recommended without reservation. > > Ron & Elvira B. **★★★★★ — Carolina Paiz, March 2016** > We just added a second story to our 1908 California Craftsman. It was a huge job, and required not only a keen eye for design, but also a respect for the existing structure and enormous work and commitment. We are so lucky that we hired Juan Felipe for this job. This is the fourth major construction we have done, and I can honestly say that Juan Felipe is the best architect we've ever worked with. Working with him was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Juan Felipe was very respectful of our home's age and style, and meticulously crafted a second story to match the rest of the house. His designs were always beautiful and thought-out, and if we didn't like something, he was always the first to offer suggestions, changes or solutions. He takes such pride in his work, but he does so without bringing his ego into it. Working with him was easy, creative and fun. He was very committed during the construction process, and his keen eye was PRICELESS on site. From design to final inspection, Juan Felipe was there, with a smile, to make sure everything was always perfect. I can not recommend him enough. **★★★★★ — jessrousset, March 2016** > Juan Felipe was a pleasure to work with. He is passionate about his work and brings great energy and creativity to projects. He designed our 2 story addition in a way that maximized the space for our budget and included tasteful design elements that give the space a unique and modern touch. ## Selected projects - [Los Angeles Times: ADU Feature Publication](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-angeles-times-adu-feature-publication-pj-vj~7511778) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 22 - [Neunsinger Residence in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, CA: New Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/neunsinger-residence-in-laurel-canyon-los-angeles-ca-new-build-pj-vj~118856) - Location: LOS ANGELES, CA - Photos: 53 - Description: Location: LOS ANGELES, CA, US A 4,500 square foot addition in a contemporary vernacular style to a house in the Hollywood Hills, in the Laurel Canyon area.

Are they painted?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Carolgr4, this kitchen was custom made and the color was custom made by the owner whom is an architectural colorist I will find out the color spec and let you know ! **Q: Unique design I'll say** *(in Photo Questions)* Is the house roof line pitched in the opposite direction or just seems that way because of the pitch on the carport. I'm on the fence about this design...the homeowners must have great personalities! A: I wish the street was more visible, and more people would see it in real time is a great little carport, thanks for inquiring ! **Q: Drab exterior + new paint color = Wow!** *(in Before & After)* It's the same home, but the updated paint color makes it look like a brand new home. A: A total improvement, I don't like beige we live an beige city here, grey can be quite enhancing for a house in this case I think it did a great service to this house which sits quite nice on the site! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
