## About

### Houzz Badges

- Houzz Influencer
- 10,000 Ideabook Saves

Benjamin has made it his duty and priority as an architect to provide a broad range of services and value at every stage of the design and construction process for his clients. The design aesthetic of a project is perhaps the most obvious area in which an architect makes a unique and valuable contribution, creating a visually appealing place with pleasing character, style, functionality, and high-quality detailing.

Benjamin does not believe that any one style is appropriate to every building and every place. Instead he believes in utilizing his training and experience to assess project requirements in great depth, explore ideas jointly with his clients, and to ultimately translate their wishes into built form that is tailored to suit their personality, needs, budget, and lifestyle.

As an architect, Benjamin John Stevens is also committed to serving as his client’s advocate throughout their project, addressing compliance with applicable codes and regulations, assisting in the processing of required approvals, overseeing the work of the contractor, and coordinating all technical and aesthetic aspects of a project.

**★★★★★ — Private Gardens, Jan. 2017**

> Ben is the best quarterback when it comes to a design team leader.  Very communicative and is wonderful to collaborate with.  He is a very talented architect and has great communication skills which is refreshing.  We have done several projects together through the years and I always enjoy working on his team and look forward to working with him again.

**★★★★★ — Lisa Zimmermann, Sept. 2015**

> After having worked with another architect, Ben came through with fresh ideas.  His design was clean, he arrived to our meeting on time and produced designs and revisions quickly; He listened well and understood what we wanted; He is friendly, easy-going and professional.  We cannot be happier with his design and our "new" home (Eastern Seaboard style.)  Ben comes with the highest of recommendation.

**★★★★★ — SC Homes, Sept. 2014**

> Ben has worked on many of our high end homes in the Newport Beach area and I couldn't find a more capable, caring and cost conscious architect out there!  You would be lucky to have Ben on your design team and I would highly recommend him.

**★★★★★ — homlit, May 2013**

> I worked with Ben, photographing two of his projects. I'm happy to share with everybody his exciting ways of designing homes, through my cameras. I'm better with images but if I have to use words to describe his activity it would be: Attention to detail and quality of work to meet his customers expectations. Communication was excellent. It's so good to see professionals like Ben around!
