Our office isn't just an office, it's where we spend our time and our lives building our organization and working for our clients. We didn't want a safe and boring "me too" type of space, but instead wanted a space that would reflect our attention to detail, and support our culture of innovation and teamwork while creating a comfortable environment for our employees. Hayes hit the ball out of the park, and we couldn't be more proud and happy about what we created together. **Comment from Hayes Inc. Architecture/Interiors:** > Hello Aaron, > We love the ongoing work we do with your organization and fine tuning the space for your creative team to innovate! Thank you for sharing your experience and your review! **★★★★★ — Steven Handelman Studios, Sept. 2013** > Hayes Architecture has been a customer for 15 years. In that time we have always experienced a high level professionalism. Great communication, accurate plans and well conceived projects have made our collaboration a successful one. **Comment from Hayes Inc.

Architecture/Interiors:** > Thank you Ellen for your review. It is much appreciated. We love working with your team! > Cathy **★★★★★ — Shelley Adelson, Aug. 2013** > We hired Cathy Hayes and her firm to remodel an old ranch home in Arcadia area. Cathy exceeded our expectations by leaps and bounds. Cathy takes your project to heart and will live and breath it as if she is building it for herself. She understood our family and what we wanted and helped us to make the most of what we wanted and were able to build. > We can't say enough about her professionalism and expertise and we are happy to call her our friend!!!!!!!!!! **Comment from Hayes Inc. Architecture/Interiors:** > Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our Houzz community. We appreciate your feedback and your time to write this! **★★★★★ — Mary Crozier, Aug. 2013** > Cathy Hayes is truly one of the most talented architects in the Valley. She carefully helped us remodel our 1910 historical property, paying close attention to detail and respectful of its history. > > She was a joy to work with-tough when needed but creative and fun. We have consulted with her on several occasions and would happily refer her to anyone looking for high quality and expertise. **Comment from Hayes Inc. Architecture/Interiors:** > Thank you for sharing your experience with our firm as well as the photo of your home. Very appreciative of your time to share this as well. **★★★★★ — Chandelier, July 2013** > I have worked with Cathy Hayes, owner of Hayes Architecture, on several projects in the last two years and have great respect for her and her company. She worked with us to design custom lighting for her clients and her attention to detail and craftsmanship is something any customer would be fortunate to have in an architect. She has great knowledge of different styles and what works well with the time period of the home. Her and her staff are very efficient and friendly and have always been a pleasure to work with. > > Brett King > manager of CHANDELIER > > a fine lighting company in San Diego, Ca **Comment from Hayes Inc. Architecture/Interiors:** > Hi Brett, > Thank you very much - we are so appreciative of the great work you and your team do. Our homeowners are always delighted with our selections. Thank you so much again! > Rebecca **★★★★★ — pamder, June 2013** > I met Cathy Hayes in the Spring of 2011 as I was seeking an architect/interior designer who I felt could meet my needs. There was an immediate connection. She was engaging, forthright and had no problem understanding what I wanted in my "dream home". Her first block plan was conceptually right-on. She was very creative and innovative and constantly surprised me with new ideas and fresh approaches. One of the most satisfying aspects of working with Cathy was that I actually worked with Cathy and even though she had a capable design team who assisted her, it was she who communicated with me. We are now in the final stages of our project together and I hate to see the association come to an end as I not only found a great architect in Cathy, but an individual who I feel could be a friend for life. **Comment from Hayes Inc. Architecture/Interiors:** > It's been an honor and a pleasure to be a part of your new home journey. Thank you for sharing your experience. We look forward to continuing this journey with you! **★★★★★ — jimidsardi, May 2013** > My wife and I hired Cathy to build our dream home after learning that all of our favorite restaurants were designed by her. We absolutely love her creative ideas and amazing designs. She really takes the time to understand what her clients needs are and how best to put them all together in a truly spectacular way! Cathy is an extremely talented, honest, straightforward, professional, hard working and super cool lady! We highly recommend her. **Comment from Hayes Inc. Architecture/Interiors:** > Thank you so much Jim for sharing your thoughts and we are so happy you love your home! ## Selected projects - [uncomngrnd - a home of steel & glass around a central courtyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/uncomngrnd-a-home-of-steel-and-glass-around-a-central-courtyard-pj-vj~723229) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: Concept: creating a home of steel & glass around a central courtyard while far from a seminal concept was executed with a fresh focus to satisfy today’s lifestyle and serve as both sanctuary and sophisticated entertaining environment. architecture & interiors by hayes inc. architecture/interiors - [Monterey Colonial - A Traditional Home with Surprises Inside](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/monterey-colonial-a-traditional-home-with-surprises-inside-pj-vj~269036) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - Description: This 4 bedroom + guest suite, 6.5 bath, elegant family home celebrates the Santa Barbara classic style, the Monterey.
