Thom Brajkovich, with twenty-seven years as an architect and master builder on the Central Coast, believes that architecture should blend naturally and enhance the environment. Color, style, texture, geometry, proportion and sustainability all factor into his designs and communication with his clients is of the utmost importance. He often develops design solutions on the spot and sketches them clearly and quickly.

His clients are kept abreast at every stage of the design of their project. His commitment to historical form and shape partly result from having lived and practiced in Europe. His philosophical values have led him to believe strongly in natural, ecological and historical forms.

**★★★★★ — Jiten Patel, May 2017**

> Thom is creative, knowledgeable architectural designer I have worked with for many years. He designed my current home and has helped with several of my commercial projects

**★★★★★ — Chris Rebuck, Feb. 2017**

> I have known Thom for decades and always admired design style and aesthetic taste. Naturally Thom was the first person I went to for a consultation when it came time to study the feasibility of a remodel & expansion of my property. His industry experience, building expertise, and vision quickly gave me hope for taking on a daunting project of moving foundation, walls, decks, drains and building roofs. Thank you Thom!

**★★★★★ — David Brown, Feb. 2017**

> Thom is one of the best architects in San Luis Obispo.  He has an artist eye for design but a builders eye for construction.  He is a true professional who will walk you through every step of the process. Including keeping your marriage together if need be. As the process of building and designing a home can be very stressful on a relationship. But not with Thom as he can work things out for everybody.  It is without hesitation that I would suggest you work with Thom on any and all of your architectural needs.

**★★★★★ — Semmes & Co. Builders, Inc, Dec. 2015**

> Thom Brajkovich's strengths are many. He has a background in construction making his designs not only creative, but buildable. His understanding of structures enables him to take a certain efficiency into mind as he explores the site, client program and the architecture.  He is a great communicator and an organized teammate. We look forward to continuing to work with Thom and Paragon designs for years to come.

**★★★★★ — writedwyer, Nov. 2015**

> I have worked with architects for over forty years and have seen a great cross section of the profession. Paragon Designs has a great breadth of experience and expertise that has allowed a great number of repeat clients. Headed by Thom Brajkovich, the firm has the leadership and skill to deal with the complexities of design and construction supervision and to accomplish projects with grace and dispatch. They know how to listen to clients and how to get things done. I would recommend them to anyone.

**★★★★★ — Landsystems & Associates, Aug. 2015**

> I am a local landscape designer and horticulture consultant in the Central Coast of California. I have had the pleasure of working with Thom and his professional associated for over 20 years. Thom is a creative Architectural designer and professional who relies on his creative instinct, fine moral fabric, and worldwide exposure to architecture through his travels to influence his design solutions. He is a joy to work with and his completed works demonstrate his expertise and talents.
