Farrell·Faber & Associates is an innovative, award-winning architecture and design team based in Santa Rosa, California, founded by Kevin Farrell and Shaun Faber in 1989. The diversity of our work experience spans all architectural styles and includes homes throughout the Western States. 

Our commitment to staying at the cutting edge of design and technology has earned our firm its place as a leader in residential architecture and planning. We’ve also earned significant respect and recognition from Building Departments and City Design Review Boards for our integrity, quality of work and professionalism. This kind of reputation and experience helps our clients’ projects to travel smoothly through government approvals. Farrell-Faber & Associates also understands the need for architecture that is sustainable and sensitive to the environment, and is committed to designing "green".

Our philosophy at Farrell-Faber & Associates, Inc. is to work as a team, using our strong creative design skills, technical planning and process, industry relationships, and detailed understanding of our clients to provide a dramatic yet comfortable home that matches the new homeowner's style and needs. It is our desire to make the process as easy and enjoyable as possible for the client.

We're also excited to showcase our Virtual Reality services.  How incredible is technology that we can now fully model and walk through a house months prior to it’s construction!  This is a service we perform in house and has capabilities for full customization including finishes, lighting, and landscaping.  Homeowners find this helpful to visualize their home design and understand how their new space will look.  Developers are using this technology to pre-sell projects or instead of building model homes.  

We invite you to review our portfolio of work and virtual reality tours on our website, www.farrellfaber.com

**★★★★★ — Robert Lombardi, March 2020**

> Farrell-Faber & Associates Inc. is without question the finest architectural firm one could work with.  I say this for the following reasons:
>
> \* Professionalism: From the moment I entered the office, from the receptionist to the drafters, to the architect (Kevin Farrell) I was treated as if I was their most important client.
>
> \* Knowledge: Kevin informed me of the many new code upgrades that would need to be incorporated in my project. He also has a vast knowledge of design and was able to open dialog on ideas and communicate these ideas to me in an easily understood manner.
>
> \* Work Quality: Farrell-Faber's staff created very high quality drawings for my project.  They were also open to some last minute changes I had requested.
>
> \* Deadlines & Budget:  Considering the timing of my project (immediately after the Tubbs wild fire in northern California, 2019) deadlines and budgets were not only met but far exceeded my expectations.  Farrell-Faber acquired all permits necessary thus relieving me of this task.
>
> \* In summary:  It is most obvious that I would highly recommend Farrell-Faber & Associates, Inc. for any architectural need you might have.

**★★★★★ — Harry & Sherree Fogel, March 2020**

> As Real Estate Brokers who have specialized in high end custom, semi-custom and new subdivisions in Sonoma County, it has been an honor and a pleasure to work closely with such a professional firm as Farrell-Faber & Associates for over 30 years.  Not only are they talented and skilled at their craft, they listen to their clients.  After the Tubbs fire in 2017 Kevin Farrell, Matt Taylor and every employee worked tirelessly to help rebuilt our community with leadership, knowledge,  and speed.  It is rare to find such passionate people.  Thank you for all you do.

**Comment from Farrell - Faber & Associates, Inc.:**

> Thanks for the kind words, Harry and Sheree.  It's been our pleasure to work with professionals such as yourself for all these years!

**★★★★★ — Aaron Groves, July 2018**

> We're in the processing of designing a custom home with Farrell-Faber, and they are such a pleasure to work with.  They really listen to what we want, and their foremost concern is delivering our dream house.  They're also professionally competent, responsive, and courteous.  On top of that, they're a great value.  We highly recommend them.

**★★★★★ — Trish Pisenti, Dec. 2016**

> Shaun Faber was an incredible architect with extremely creative design skills. His desire to please his clients and provide support in any way needed made the project a successful experience. We were first time home builders and would do it again with Shaun as our architect and project leader! Our home won a national award for best architectural design for 1800 sq. ft. . We love our new home! It is beautiful, open, works well for entertaining and is not too big for 2 people.

**★★★★★ — Jeff Harris, April 2016**

> Farrell-Faber was a great partner in designing our new house.  They listened to our concept ideas, came up with a compelling first pass and partnered well in providing alternative tweaks to address our concerns.  They are also connected in the community and helped us find a great GC to oversea our project.

**★★★★★ — Bill Benjamin, April 2016**

> I have used Farrell-Faber for my architecture needs for over 20 years. As a developer and home builder, they have provided designs and working drawings for hundreds of homes including my personal residence. They have always been very thorough, timely,  creative and professional. I have enjoyed this relationship very much.

**★★★★★ — synergy realty group, April 2016**

> We have hired F and F for many years as part of our development team.   They have always been professional and keep their commitments, deadlines and budgets.   We respect what they bring to the table with regards to knowledge and experience of design for residential subdivisions and also custom homes.
> They are also very co operative with our needs and those of our clients.   We would highly recommend them for any residential jobs, both large and small.

**★★★★★ — Jerry M., March 2016**

> My wife and I are currently using their services to build our dream home. Everyone we know who has built their own home before warned us that it would be extremely stressful. Farrell/Faber has made the experience an absolute pleasure. They have removed almost all the stress involved with the planning. They're very professional and responsive, and the plans they drew up were even better than what we envisioned!
>
> My wife and I couldn't be happier with their services.
