We could not be happier with our choice. Christine and Bob bring a high level of experience, professionalism and personal care to the project. One of the most important aspects of our experience with them has been the level of trust that has developed. They are very genuine in helping you to make sure that the project materializes when the project encounters glitches. We highly recommend them for the quality of work and experience. **★★★★★ — Mohammad Moussavian, Dec. 2020** > The couple are two expert architects for the price of one. We interviewed several architects before I asked a trusted builder for his recommendation. The husband wife complement each other, and each serves like a critic on the other. I would certainly use them for my next project and highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Craig Awbrey, Dec. 2020** > I highly recommend Beausoleil Architects. I have personally worked with Bob and Christine Boles for over 20 years, and they are excellent architects. If you are looking for a great architect, Beausoleil Architects is among the best available. > > Craig Awbrey > President > Awbrey Development and Construction Company **Comment from Beausoleil Architects:** > Thank you so much Craig! It is always a pleasure to work with you! **★★★★★ — Dan, Dec. 2020** > Bob and Christine of Beau Soleil are incredibly thoughtful and experienced architects. > > They created a design which embodied our vision of a energy efficient, comfortable, and functionally superb remodel of our house. > > We asked them to fit 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, large open plan living areas filled with light, views of foliage, and dramatic 20+ foot high vaulted ceilings, while also increasing the privacy of the home. > > They did this despite very challenging space constraints posed by our existing house, which was limited to a 900 sqft footprint and 1600 sqft overall living space. **Comment from Beausoleil Architects:** > Thank you so much Danan! We can't wait to see your home transformed! > Christine and Bob **★★★★★ — dkbowler, Oct. 2019** > Whole house project on an old 95 year old home. Both are very pleasant and easy to work with. They took care of many details as we live across the country from the project. Would highly recommend their work. **Comment from Beausoleil Architects:** > Thank yo so much Diane! We are looking forward to seeing your lovely home transformed! **★★★★★ — SBO, Oct. 2019** > Beausoleil Architects designed a master suite addition for my husband and I in 2018. This design entailed remodeling existing space for a walk in closet with a connecting master bathroom and a 369 sf addition leading into the master bedroom. Bob & Christine meticulously listened to our desires and concerns for this project. They offered several creative design options and always worked promptly. Beausoleil Architects are seasoned professionals, with reasonable rates and who are easy to work with. Our master suite turned our beautifully. We highly recommend Beausoliel Architects for your next remodeling or new build project. **Comment from Beausoleil Architects:** > Thank you so much Sonia! It's a pleasure working with you both! **★★★★★ — Benny Zadik, Oct. 2019** > Had an easy time working with Christine and Bob! They have good ideas about how to use valuable square feet in a tight space and green building. **Comment from Beausoleil Architects:** > Thank you so much Benny! It was a pleasure working with you! > Christine **★★★★★ — Michael Beadle, Oct. 2017** > Beausoleil has been so amazing to work with in helping design the addition to our home. They took the time to listen to our needs, asked the right questions and provided the kind of guidance we needed all along the way. They worked quickly on the designs and options and were open to ideas and changes. We really appreciated their honest feedback and recommendations when we'd feel stuck with a difficult decision or when we'd run into challenges with respect to scope or budget. Their expertise on building code, inspections, engineering and production timing helped put our mind at ease that we were going to be able to move things forward without feeling overwhelmed. They were proactive, friendly and their work is outstanding. We can't wait to begin construction soon! **Comment from Beausoleil Architects:** > Thank you so much Michael! We look forward to seeing your family's home remodel completed so that you can enjoy it for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Kelly Loughlin, April 2017** > We hired Bob and Christine to help create our dream house. They were meticulous, passionate, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. They were very knowledgable on district codes, which allowed us to minimize the back-and-forth and keep our budget on point. They did a stellar job on our project and we cannot recommend them enough. We would use them again in a heartbeat. **Comment from Beausoleil Architects:** > Thank you so much Kelly (and Steve!). It was such a pleasure to work with both of you as well - from the practical details to the fun, out of the box exercises. We can't wait to see your home finished and your family enjoying it for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Tiewen Han, March 2017** > Beausoleil Architects just finished design of my home addition. They did a wonderful job. You really got the benefits of two designers in one team. Christine was really creative on utilizing the existing space and made most use out of it and blended the new spaces into a functional floor-plan. Bob made great elevation and architectural drawings. I remodeled 50% of my house 3 years ago and did the design myself. I was thrilled by their proposal and wish I had hired them earlier. Bob and Christine were also very responsive and finished the job on budget with integrity. I am so glad that I hired them to design my dream house. It's time and money well spent. They were also highly recommended by my neighbor and a colleague. **Comment from Beausoleil Architects:** > Thank you so much Tiewen! We really enjoyed working with you as well. Our best projects are designed in partnership with our clients, and your engineering background adding some great analysis and out of the box thinking to the process! We look forward to seeing your dream become a reality for your family! **★★★★★ — Rebecca McKee, Sept. 2016** > Christine is a fantastic architect. She undertook two major projects for me: (1) the remodel of my 1912 Craftsman and (2) designing a 6-bedroom house at Lake Tahoe. Both projects were complicated and demanding. Christine was fully engaged in both from beginning to end. She came up with very creative solutions to difficult challenges. Her attention to detail was beyond compare. And, she was a joy to work with. She listened carefully, gave constructive suggestions and followed through with contractors and interior designers to make sure that the end result was consistent and that her plans were carried out fully. I feel very fortunate to have been able to have her as an architect. **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2016** > Beausoleil Architects are fantastic to work with! They were always professional and attentive to my tastes and desires for my second story addition/remodel. I'm loving my home! Thank you! **Comment from Beausoleil Architects:** > Thank you Patsy! We miss seeing you, but are so glad you are enjoying your home! ## Selected projects - [New Net Zero Energy Custom Home, Pacifica, CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-net-zero-energy-custom-home-pacifica-ca-pj-vj~5975955) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 41 - [New Modern Home - Los Altos, California](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-modern-home-los-altos-california-pj-vj~5882824) - Location: Los Altos, CA - Photos: 15 - Description: Open, airy and bright, this is our seventh new home design for developers Mansour Moussavian and Kathy Karroubi, and the first one with a modern aesthetic.
