My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hunter architecture delivered creative thinking outside the box but was acutely aware of how to keep the project within the regulatory guideline box, saving my clients countless months and years of struggle with the Belvedere planning department. Hunter Architecture swiftly understood my client’s goals and delivered a captivating design that bridged different spousal needs resulting in entitlements that exceeded all stakeholders expectations.

Dan Hunter did a stunning architectural job for our new floating home built from scratch. Contemporary architecture as its best!

In regards to the Floating Dreams 5A floating home project, we find Dan Hunter's overall grasp of the project including close coordination with structural details was invaluable. The project required very tight dimensional tolerances. Dan's vast experience dealing with County Planning was instrumental in navigating through County agencies and obtaining approval for the project.

Especially at the conceptual stage of the project design we had very robust conversations and traded design options and ideas that were exciting and original. Dan is very concerned about the details and resolution of the design at all levels and this attention to detail and uncompromising decision making translates into very good living environments, quality of light and air and exciting architectural volumes.

Dan Hunter is an immensely talented architect. Working with him on the remodel of our Belvedere home was a joy. Dan designed a home for us that exceeded our expectations. He gave us exactly what we wanted and more. We absolutely love it. The project involved a zillion architectural decisions and details but one thing that stands out in my mind is Dan's unerring eye for color. The colors he chose for our house are perfect. It seems hardly a week goes by that I don't receive a compliment from a friend, neighbor or passer by. The colors blend harmoniously with the surrounding garden as well as the slate roof. In addition to his architectural talents Dan was masterful at keeping the project on schedule from beginning to end. His extensive experience, superb diplomacy skills and thorough knowledge of the codes, rules and regulations allowed him to steer us through design review with the greatest of ease. We did not experience a single problem or delay. How often do you hear THAT? All went well and the remodel of our 5000 square foot residence was completed on budget and ahead of schedule. Dan kept his wonderful sense of humor throughout and didn't even mind that our dog Martha left muddy paw prints on his lovely trousers every single morning. We highly recommend Dan without hesitation. The Potters Belvedere, California

I recommend Dan Hunter with total confidence. Dan has very creative ideas but works in a true partnership (i.e., he listens!). He is sound in his fundamentals and very knowledgeable of materials, practices, standards and regulations in the area. He has an excellent working knowledge of the Planning Commission process and good personal relationships with the commissioners and staff. Dan provided a clear and detailed budget at the outset and has kept to it. He is very respponsive by e-mail and telephone and willing to do the legwork required to keep the project moving. On top of it all, he is a pleasure to work with.

I have worked with a number of architects over the course of twenty five years and in my experience Dan Hunter stands head and shoulders above them. Dan is a consummate professional. He is remarkably imaginative, with a breadth and depth of knowledge that I have found unequaled. Dan’s deft hand and mind is surpassed only by his ability to navigate the always challenging and often difficult build process. Dan is able to take a design and mesh with a builder and the regulatory process in a way that breaths life into that design, sustaining and enhancing its soul and essence. Perhaps the aspect I most admire about Dan is his ability to understand and appreciate an existing design (in our most recent work, my mid century modern Cliff May house) without allowing himself or the client to become a slave to the original design. He respects the work of the original architect and works with it in a way that doesn’t just compliment, but rather…surprisingly and delightfully renders the whole so much greater than its parts. Please don’t misunderstand me however. His efforts are not mystical or ethereal; rather they are tactile, thoughtful, perceptive and intelligent. I have rarely worked with anyone that approaches Dan’s ability, integrity or grace. Dan is a consummate and competent professional, architect and gentleman.

We have been working with Dan for many years now and are extremely happy with everything. We interviewed 5 different architects for our project and he was the clear choice as soon as we met him and saw his work. He really took the time to listen to us to understand what kind of house we wanted, and more importantly "needed". He "got it" right away and his first draft was excellent. We never felt like he was imposing styles and ideas we did not want, he always came up with ideal and elegant solutions perfect for us. Our project was very challenging because we wanted to use parts of our existing house to make an entirely new home on a challenging sloped lot. This created a very constrained and limiting situation for an architect but Dan was able to work with what we had to make a great new design. Our contractor has been very impressed with the efficiency and intelligence in his plans; it is going to save us a lot of money in construction costs. Another thing that is really good about Dan, especially if you live in southern Marin County, is that he is a gifted diplomat. He has done a really good job of working with the Planning department in Sausalito, and working with our neighbors to get the design that we want. We can't recommend Daniel Hunter Architecture AIA enough. We referred our close friends who live in Mill Valley to him and they were very happy with the results. We love going to their new house for dinner parties. I am attaching a rendering of our project here. Jesse Goff SF office phone 415 777 3700
