She created a beautiful modern home showing off concrete floors and structural steel beams and staircase. She designed our complete home, from modern elevation to inside kitchen, baths, rooms and an outdoor space that extends from our living room through bi-fold doors. We are very happy with our home thanks to Karen Otis. **★★★★★ — Cathey Curtis, Aug. 2015** > Karen Otis is incredibly talented and an absolute pleasure to work with. Karen helped us to fix up our mid-century house into a beautiful modern home, following the same lines and integrity of the original home. The home turned out beautiful and we are going to hire Karen for our next project and can't wait to see what magic she creates next for us! **★★★★★ — jillkos1, Aug. 2015** > We hired Otis Architecture before we moved across the country from the east coast to California. Karen from Otis Architecture coordinated the installation of our hardwood floors, carpet and paint while we still lived on the east coast. Design isn't my thing - but with Karen aboard, I had no worries. She took care of all of the little things that I didn't have time to deal with. The results were AMAZING and we hired Otis Architecture again after we moved into our home, this time to remodel our kitchen. Again, we had a great experience. I would absolutely recommend Otis Architecture. Karen has that rare gift of figuring out exactly what you want and then implementing great design. We found her to be professional, personable, very accessible and totally on top of things at all times. **★★★★★ — Graham Stanley & Associates, Oct. 2013** > Karen is a sophisticated and talented architect. She has mastered her skills and posses a keen attention to detail. Her effective design and style shows in every project she undertakes. Whether it’s communicating with her Clients or coordinating with other disciplines on the project, she doesn’t miss a step in the process. She and her staff are always a pleasure to work with and provide an unmatched level of professionalism on each project. **★★★★★ — stan69, Sept. 2013** > Karen was a blast to work with and our home is spectacular. We did a complete remodel. Karen's expertise helped us transform an outdated, poorly designed remodeled home from the 1950's into a beautiful modern home with a warm palette and an open plan. > > We had a list of unusual specific requests using non-traditional materials. We worked together to come up with a unique one of a kind masterpiece. > > Karen's attention to detail is evident with specifications down to the finest details. She thought of everything and it shows. **★★★★★ — buford58, Sept. 2013** > I'm a single professional that just purchased a new home in Seal Beach, CA and needed to furnish and decorate it from scratch. I did not have the time, or interest in decorating myself so I received a recommendation from a highly respected builder in town to contact Karen Otis for her decorating services. From the start Karen was extremely professional, timely, and creative with her decorating ideas and services. I explained what I was looking for in my new home and Karen absolutely nailed the look I wanted. She picked out all hard wood flooring, carpeting, wall and ceiling paint colors, furniture and accessories and created the exact look I wanted for casual beach living here in Seal Beach. Outstanding job by Karen. > > Jeff T. in Seal Beach **★★★★★ — HU-623971, Aug. 2013** > i am a general contractor working in the small beach communities in and around seal beach, california. karen otis and myself have been working together closely for about six years now. i was looking for someone to sort of partner with for a couple of years when i met karen. i was surprised when i found out she had all the qualities and credentials of someone i set the criteria for. in addition she delivers constantly. we have completed many stunning projects together, and continue to refine our system. best of all, we have a growing list of happy clients that refer us to potential clients, in a profession where alot of unhappy situations can and do occur. > > george james fullerton > artisan building contractors > seal beach, california. **★★★★★ — scsurfaces, Aug. 2013** > Karen Otis is a great designer/architect and great to work with. > She provides superior client satisfaction and is always on the cutting edge. > > We work hand - in- hand together on projects in our tile showroom and its always a pleasure to work with her as she is extremely knowledgeable and professional with great design ideas. > . > She is indeed a professional that I would very highly recommend for any project. **★★★★★ — sodar, Aug. 2013** > Karen is wonderful to work with. She is professional and approachable. She provided us with turn-key architecture and construction management services, keeping our project on budget and within time constraints. We highly recommend Karen and would use her for any future remodel projects. **★★★★★ — denngo, Aug. 2013** > Karen designed a state of the art Tuscan waterfront villa for me in Huntington Harbour. She was a joy to work with, paid great attention to detail (and cost) and I would not hesitate to use her firm again under similar circumstances. **★★★★★ — wpbatiste, Aug. 2013** > Karen Otis provided both architectural and interior design services for our custom built residence. She developed the design from a simple concept "create a contemporary home with a open Hawaii feel". Her attention to detail, blending colors, use of various textures and woods resulted in an elegant yet functional living space. The openness design and pocket doors on both the front and back of the home provides that feeling without losing the comfort of being indoors. She also designed features and flow that permit major indoor/outdoor entertainment with ease of movement. I would highly recommend her services without reservation. **★★★★★ — maruchi911, Aug. 2013** > Karen Otis is in our opinion one of the best architect/designers in her field. Her knowledge, professionalism is beyond anything we could have asked for. > Karen designed, hired the sub-contractors and held weekly meetings for a large home remodel. There isn't one person that walks into our home and does not comment on the beauty and functionality of our home. Karen was hands on and available when any problems arose. > She helped picked everything from paint colors to door handles and everything in between. > There is no other architect we would consider hiring except Karen Otis. ## Selected projects - [Moss Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/moss-residence-pj-vj~167936) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Rados Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rados-residence-pj-vj~111876) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: The Rados Residence is striking with its meticulous craftsmanship and soft subtle tones.

The interior was completely remodeled to make better use of spaces and bring a warm palette of materials to the home. The accent wall in the dining and living areas features beautiful walnut finishes with architectural reveals which integrate two walnut and cast glass pocket doors to bring privacy and elegance to the dining room. Th… - [Batiste Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/batiste-residence-pj-vj~111720) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - Description: The Batiste home is inspired by a quest to bring the outdoors in. As the edges of the home are blurred, the harbor views and exterior landscaping are captured. By successfully erasing the lines that demarcate indoor versus outdoor, the home achieves the sense of a lanai. Opening the first floor to the outdoors are large spanning multi-sliders that pull away, disappearing into a wall cavity. A staircase made of African sapele wood winds around the living room volume, culminating at a mezzanine th… - [Humboldt Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/humboldt-residence-pj-vj~167946) - Location: Huntington Beach, CA - Photos: 5 - [Ben-Ezer Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ben-ezer-residence-pj-vj~167992) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: INTENT: To design a home with whimsical seductive curves set in contrast to an ordered formality. The curves seem to tempt the orderliness, neither one fighting for dominance, rather both mutually engaging. The four corners of the house are dissolved, with corner glass and a metal roof. As these corners dissipate, they blur the building line, and begin to disassemble the box. DESCRIPTION: A 4,400 square foot two-story home with a roof terrace that captures a view of the shoreline. The plan is or… - [Rubin Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rubin-residence-pj-vj~167952) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: What was once an ordinary tract home has been transformed into an artistic expression of sculptural forms, finished with a carefully selected palette of materials. The entire home was remodeled by removing interior walls that once compartmentalized the home and restricted the flow within. In the remodel, the kitchen is at the very heart of the home, with its undulating sculptural wall of venetian plaster and stainless steel reveals. The kitchen cabinetry is playfully and randomly placed on the s… - [Shohet Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shohet-residence-pj-vj~111696) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - Description: The Shohet home in Seal Beach, California refreshingly liberates the floor plan, allowing spaces to flow into one another. Rather than dividing the space with interior walls, the open plan relies on furnishings and built-ins to define the spaces. Cabinetry is treated like furniture as even the kitchen cabinets and built-in nook banquette reveal craftsmanship at its best. The home blends an organic combination of materials that include bamboo, walnut, zebra wood, and pebble rocks. The home’s mode… - [Peale Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/peale-residence-pj-vj~167981) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: The Peale residence is an inviting 4600 square foot home located on the water in Huntington Harbour, California. The design dramatically responds to its Harbour view and the mild climate by providing open air outdoor spaces that are woven between the interior spaces. One enters the home through a private courtyard with a custom designed iron gate. A custom and iron curved glass front door in a similar pattern stands at the threshold of the rotunda entrance. Light pours into the dramatic rotunda… - [Gilbert Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gilbert-residence-pj-vj~167972) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: The project underwent an extensive addition and complete remodel in order to create an inviting 4400 square foot home, rich in the Spanish style. Interior walls were removed, a new master bedroom suite added and the floor plan dramatically altered in order to create a fluid interior space. In the family room, an entire panel of multi-slide wood doors opens to the pool and patio space where a fireplace creates a living room outdoors.

I like a neutral traditional look. Was thinking of adding pillows to chairs with the table and a plant on table? not sure on colors though to complement pink flowers. also thinking of adding a rug under welcome mat. any ideas? A: Hi lilceeja, A neutral outdoor rug would look great with complementary pillows. You could do a potted plant to the right of the table set along the brick wall and another to the left of the door. some height on those plants would be nice for balance. I would add a plant to the table too. As long as your rug and pillows match well, it will look great. No need to worry about matching the pink flowers. **Q: stone tiles** *(in Photo Questions)* Just wonder what kind the stone tiles you used in this garden, thanks. A: It is poured colored concrete **Q: please tell us what company made the glass railing and price range** *(in Photo Questions)* Thanks very much!!! A: Could you tell me who did the glass standoff system for rail and did they have engineering? We have a similar rail in one of our custom homes, but are having a hard time with structural approval. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-10-16.*
