**★★★★★ — klhogan, Aug. 2015**

> Andreas designed and managed the construction of a completely new deck in our back yard. We are thrilled with the results - instead of a tiny landing area and crumbling staircase, we now have a beautiful redwood structure with a lovely trellis and perfect detailing that adds an entire new living area to our home. It was a pleasure to work with Andreas throughout the process. He is thorough, detail-oriented and fair, and was happy to incorporate our goals into the design and implementation of the project.

**★★★★★ — aeaengineering, Oct. 2013**

> I have worked with Andreas as the civil and structural engineer of record on multiple residential projects.  Andreas has been great to work with and I would strongly recommend him to any client.  He has proven himself as someone who collaborates well with the entire design team to create efficient designs by seamlessly blending architecture and structure as well as the landscape and drainage design.

**★★★★★ — Doug S, Oct. 2013**

> My wife and I highly recommend working with Andreas Brueggemann. Andreas worked with us this summer on the Berkeley Kitchen Remodel project featured here on this site. As the photos show, we went from a very limited, closed kitchen space, both in overall flow and functionality, to a bright, open and luxurious kitchen. Andreas helped bring our dreams into reality. Throughout the design process, permitting, and construction Andreas was highly attentive, professional, and brought high-end custom details and design elements we never imagined. He also sourced reasonable material, factoring in both our budget concerns and design aesthetic. Andreas worked with us on the balance of budget and aesthetic throughout the project and provided both detailed budgeting and a willingness to customize and discuss our options. We love our new kitchen and are so happy we found Andreas to work with!

**★★★★★ — katetanaka, July 2013**

> I had the very great pleasure of working with Andreas Brueggemann as he was putting the finishing touches on a residential property which he had designed and built. His standards of workmanship are beyond what we are accustomed to - he never ever compromises for the sake of speed or convenience. He is a perfectionist in the realm of building. And when it comes to design he possesses the key ingredient to genuine creativity: curiosity. He is curious about what can be made better and at the same time he is aware of existing options. He is a pleasure to deal with. When the inevitable challenges occur he remains calm and deliberate as he seeks solutions. His experience spans a wide variety of projects of all types and sizes. His European training as an architect enhances what he brings to the American market. His excitement is part of the process. And of course he has a keen sense of the visual - which is reflected in the stunning results of his work.  I highly recommend him .

**★★★★★ — takarah, July 2013**

> Formfunction Plus was wonderful to work with. My kitchen, although large in size, was hopelessly outdated, and the way that it was set-up, made cooking and cleaning-up more difficult than it should have been. I also didn’t feel comfortable entertaining my guests there.
>
> Andreas, the designer of the company listened closely to my needs, took careful consideration of my personal tastes and designed a kitchen that is now not only beautiful, but most importantly, functional.
>
> Additional counter space was added as well as a custom island. Andreas also worked with me to design all new kitchen cabinets and had them especially made. I now have the walnut cabinets that I’ve always wanted!
>
> I would not hesitate to recommend Formfunction Plus, as I was very impressed with their attention to detail as well as their level of professionalism.
>
> Andreas was always available to answer questions, his employees and tradesmen that he contracted with were obviously very talented, but the best part was that the kitchen was completed on time and within budget! This was quite refreshing considering my last kitchen project where I hired a different contractor, took over 5 months to complete along with many headaches. Save yourself the trouble and hire Andreas and his team. You and your new remodel (perhaps your new home – I know he builds houses from scratch) will thank you for it!

## Community Q&A

**Q: What wood is used for these cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I assume they are all customer, but we really like it.

A: walnut/ custom

**Q: Would you please share the color of the fiber cement panels?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi Danielle. I am sorry we somehow missed your question. The color is called "monterey taupe" ...you can find it on jameshardie-dot-com.

**Q: Counter** *(in Photo Questions)*

Wondering what green counter this is?

A: Hi Kathy. It's a limestone countertop. I would not consider this a special "green-feature" even though it's an abundant, low processed natural resource.

**Q: Is that CableRail as infill on the exterior railings?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I was wondering if you used the Feeney's CableRail system on your exterior railings. Love the mixture of materials.

A: Not sure. In fact, we like Feeney's and actually wanted to use it, however, were told (Bldg. Dep.) it's not ok for an exterior application... that was back in 2009/2010. Don't remember the code section they were referring to.
