**★★★★★ — HU-284371, March 2016**

> My experience working with Kate on our residential project was exceptional.  Her professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail made the process of design and construction very seamless.  Her ability to translate our desires into creative architectural elements was very helpful, as was her knowledge of construction methods and codes.  Her communication skills with us, and with contractors and other professionals involved, allowed for confident decision making and fluid progress.  The 3D modeling was a dramatic benefit for us to see what our home would look like when complete.  Thank you, Kate, for our wonderful home!

> Kate Svensson is a creative visionary.  She did a full remodel on my home.  My husband and I could not have been happier with the results.  She has created such a beautiful space for us to live and it has made me understand how living in such a special space can change the quality of your life and your moods. I am still noticing the small attention to detail.  We will use her on every home we ever remodel we do in the future.

> Not only is she a creative talent but she also a total professional in every way.  I can not recommend her and her team enough.  I've worked with many architects in the Santa Barbara area and she is by far and away the best.

  - Description: The owners of this 6,000 square foot home tossed us the keys to their house an hour before departing for Europe. The goal was to convert the dilapidated 1960's house into their French Mediterranean styled dream home, fully furnished, in 8 weeks! After meeting our team, sharing their vision for their new home, and signing the contract, they left for the airport. Thirty minutes later the demolition crews arrived to the site asking us what to demo! The entire interior was gutted that day. We starte…
