Rolm Design Studio

Mehran at Rolm Design Studio is an absolute pleasure to work with! Their architectural designs are not only innovative and beautifully crafted but also highly functional. Mehran’s attention to detail and creativity truly set them apart. Additionally, their communication throughout the process is exceptional—clear, professional, and always responsive. I Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-tier architectural design! George.

RDS (Mehran) designed our home and we are very happy with his work. He is extremely knowledgeable and flexible. He was always available whenever we need him throughout our design and construction phase.

RDS designed my new single family residence. Mehran is extremely knowledgeable about building codes and construction that will help you save cost and time. Rather than just giving you designs to decide on, he works closely with you to identify what you want and organically produces the final product. We had several iterations of the design including a major direction change by me far into the project. Mehran was patient throughout. He also has many great referrals you will need from civil to construction who can do great work and are cost-effective. I ended up using many of his referrals including the builder. I highly recommend Mehran and his network to anyone looking to build or renovate their dream home.

The Rolm Design Studio team did an excellent job designing my home and working with the city to get the plan approved expeditiously. I am very pleased with the way my project turned out. I recommended Rolm Design Studio to a friend who similarly had a great experience with them.

This is a long overdue review. We had interviewed 10 architects and I can say that I couldn’t have found a better architect than Mehran. He is extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and responsive. He listened to our preferences and helped us to make the best decisions. He gave suggestions on most economical options, without compromising on the design. He and his wife, Ladan, were very patient with several iterations of the design. His designs are so detail oriented that one will get permits very fast without much comments from the city. He also recommended a professional general contractor (Rise Construction) who did high quality work within record time (2 months ahead of the completion date). I have recommended Mehran in the past and would definitely continue doing so.

I found Mehran's contact through a referral at my workplace. We were new to home-building and were looking for someone who would help guide us throughout the process. I interviewed several designers and within the first 5m of meeting Mehran at the job site, he quickly broadened the options for how our remodel + addition could look. He provided some eye-opening advice based on our preferences around open and well-lit layouts. He also discussed several ideas around budget, city code and the overall space. It was immediately clear to me then that he was the designer we wanted to work with! Luckily I was not disappointed, Mehran is very talented, full of ideas and provides great solutions when issues arise. Pre-construction, Mehran worked with me on the initial design through weekly consultations. After initial comments from the city, we decided to remove a bathroom that we originally intended to keep. This changed the design and layout quite significantly - Mehran spent several hours working with me on the redesign, often late into evenings and he still made us feel like he was having fun doing his job. Eventually, we arrived at a layout we are very very happy about. Mehran has been an excellent problem solver and has proposed several clever ideas around maximizing space usage for our home. He also spent several hours with us on the front porch design which had a few exterior design elements we wanted. During construction, the GC pointed out that some of the structural parts conflicted with the design. Mehran was always available to offer consultation and helped us out on the layout changes. We were a bit conflicted on furnace placement and Mehran accommodated the relayout, so construction didn't stall. We removed a closet late in the project and Mehran's quick thinking and problem solving helped get to a much cleaner design despite the change. Overall, I think Mehran was an excellent architect for our project and working with him was a great learning experience. Construction is still ongoing but we are very very happy with the results so far. He just made it seem all the more easier in the middle of the pandemic.

Mehran did the design for our house which was a complete remodel. He was patient and listened to all our asks and ideas and came up with great designs. In addition, he works with the city and follows up on the permit. He works with the contractor smoothly to make sure everything is properly done. He is also very reasonable in the price. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Mehran was the architect who helped us redesign our eichler home to make it more functional and add extra square footage. He did an amazing job with the design, fitting in many of our wish list items into a small square footage. The final design was so elegant and unique. And even after the design was done and approved by the city, Mehran is super responsive in helping us as we navigate the remodeling with the contractor and have questions beyond the scope of the plan. We really appreciate Mehran's aesthetics and capabilities. We are still remodeling but will add photos after.

Ladan and Mehran from RDS helped us with a whole house remodel (basically a brand new 3000 sq ft home, just reusing parts of the existing foundation). We went through multiple iterations and they never said no to any changes. They always had great input on various options we were considering. The permitting process took longer than we were hoping for. The cities seem to be overwhelmed at the moment, but Mehran was always there to help however he could. We cannot wait to see how the house turns out once it's all built. So far the construction is going well, all based on the plans prepared by RDS.

This is a long overdue review. I had the opportunity to work with Mehran on my house remodel and addition. I found him to be very knowledgeable and professional. He listened to my ideas, he suggested his own patiently. He came back to take all measurements and shortly after that send us the initial designs. This is where I think they are different than others: - Presented us multiple options as starting point - Made as many changes as we requested - After we finalized one plan, worked with us to make necessary changes. They were prompt with the changes and never said no to the changes we requested. We would not hesitate to work with. him in the future.

We are doing 700+ sq ft addition and whole home remodel. Mehran and his company helped with architecture, structure and working with city for getting the approval. During starting of project we talked to many companies, but based on his idea for our home, past work, and reference we choose Mehran. We are very happy with our decision and will strongly recommend him!!!

We worked with Mehran and Rolm Design team on many residential projects. Mehran is a talented Architect with great experience in construction. With his skills using resent technologies of CAD, 3D modeling & rendering, and his attention to the details, he makes the construction process hassle free. We highly recommend Rolm design for any construction project.
