She advised on interior but let me decide on things I liked having a unique style and using my sentimental pieces. She was never pushy or over the top. She took care of many details between contractor and client but she want not the project manager. > Love her personality too! **★★★★★ — lshealy, Oct. 2013** > Margaret did a wonderful job for us on our home remodel in Old Palo Alto. She really did magic. Margaret did architectural design, worked with structural engineers, worked with the city, and was great with our contractor. I would recommend Margaret. ## Selected projects - [Exterior Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-update-pj-vj~6501192) - Location: Los Altos Hills, CA - Photos: 4 - [Historic meets Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-meets-modern-pj-vj~6501186) - Location: Palo Alto, CA - Photos: 29 - [Churchill Cape Cod](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/churchill-cape-cod-pj-vj~6501173) - Location: Palo Alto, CA - Photos: 13 - [Historic Resources Board](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-resources-board-pj-vj~5643624) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [LEADERSHIP PALO ALTO](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/leadership-palo-alto-pj-vj~5686365) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [PAST AWARD RECIPIENT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/past-award-recipient-pj-vj~5686362) - Location: Palo Alto, CA - Photos: 2 - [New Construction in San Mateo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-in-san-mateo-pj-vj~2788124) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Wilows Carport Conversion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wilows-carport-conversion-pj-vj~289188) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Willows Cottage Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/willows-cottage-kitchen-pj-vj~136083) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Sketch up Model 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sketch-up-model-1-pj-vj~136115) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Atherton Estate Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/atherton-estate-residence-pj-vj~136108) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 52 - [Barron Park Adobe](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barron-park-adobe-pj-vj~136100) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 27 - [Menlo Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/menlo-condo-pj-vj~136099) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Professorville Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/professorville-home-pj-vj~136093) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Atherton Kitchen / Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/atherton-kitchen-family-room-pj-vj~136090) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Atherton Family Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/atherton-family-kitchen-pj-vj~136087) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Palo Alto Colonial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palo-alto-colonial-pj-vj~136080) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Menlo Park Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/menlo-park-residence-pj-vj~136071) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/margaret-wimmer-residential-design-pfvwus-pf~629263841) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/108622847/list/wish-list) — 1 idea - [Penn Valley](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7640200/list/penn-valley) — 1 idea - [Shealy Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7160865/list/shealy-residence) — 5 ideas - [Kellogg](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7007111/list/kellogg) — 3 ideas [See all 4 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/mmwimmer) ## Community Q&A **Q: Is this the Aga Legacy in ivory?
