My wife and I sought the expertise of > Fernando and Carl when we first considered building a custom home for our > family in FL. Our intention was to construct a contemporary, > environmentally-friendly home within a neighborhood of existing > Mediterranean and Key West styled custom homes. Although, we wanted a > modern design, we did not want the aesthetic to clash with the surrounding > homes. Fernando and Carl listened to our goals and helped us turn an abstract > concept into a thoughtful, contemporary design. They considered the > environmental impact of the project and sought to maximize energy efficiency > and ergonomics within the design. Fernando and Carl are great listeners and > quick to offer intelligent solutions to potential design obstacles. Even though > they are also commissioned for design of larger public and commercial spaces, > we found their fees to be reasonable and straight forward. I would highly > recommend Zabala Erickson, Inc. to anyone seeking a talented and friendly > architectural team. **★★★★★ — jujostudio, May 2014** > Very professional, highly creative and flexible. Real people with honesty, integrity and an amazing work ethic. Not only capable and competent architects but willing to go the extra mile within their vast experience in interior design and planning expertise. This firm has tremendous experience and is very broad minded offering their own ideas and also working with the ideas of their vast clientele. **★★★★★ — ABI Design Group LLC, March 2014** > I would highly recommend Zabala Erickson to anyone.... They are one of the hardest working duo's in architecture in the naples area! They have produced some of the most amazing designs commercial and residential alike. **★★★★★ — Dawn Hoffman, Feb. 2014** > Carl and Fernando designed our home 6 years ago It is a lovely New England style home on the Ocean in Florida. They were great to work with and very professional. It was a large job and they were always available and on site all the time to monitor every little detail. They are both great, detailed guys and we would recommend them to anybody who wishes to exceed all of their expectations in owning one of their designed homes. > Thanks Carl and Fernando you are the best! > Ambassador Al and Dawn Hoffman **★★★★★ — sevendirections, Feb. 2014** > We did a substantial $1,000,000+ remodel on a 7,200 sq ft log home. Carl Erickson was great to work with. He probed into how we live and use our home and really understood our wants, needs, and personal taste. Got into fixtures and furniture and really helped us achieve exactly what we were looking for. ## Selected projects - [Oceanfront Villa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oceanfront-villa-pj-vj~832915) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Palm Beach Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palm-beach-estate-pj-vj~832872) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Family Ski Lodge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-ski-lodge-pj-vj~456518) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [A Haven for Fly Fishing](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-haven-for-fly-fishing-pj-vj~456480) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Ski Homes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ski-homes-pj-vj~406053) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/zabala-erickson-llc-pfvwus-pf~92635885) ## Ideabooks - [Hallbower Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/26907987/list/hallbower-exterior) — 12 ideas - [Halbower Hardwood Floors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/26362933/list/halbower-hardwood-floors) — 20 ideas - [Halbower](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25789271/list/halbower) — 23 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/zabalaericksonllc) ## Community Q&A **Q: Are these custom cabinets?
