Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers Near Palo Alto

“I connected with Tim at Impluvium Architecture while searching for an interior designer for our custom home build, and I really appreciated his honesty, insight, and generosity with his time. He listened to where we were in the process and offered straightforward, practical guidance on how to move forward. As a solo practitioner handling both architecture and interior design, Tim brings a valuable understanding of how the different pieces of a project fit together. He freely shared his advice and helped me better understand what to prioritize and what to look for in our next steps. I truly appreciated his candid approach and willingness to help. A great resource for anyone navigating a custom home build.”

“Mayer’s construction did an excellent job of building a pergola that extends from our guest room with a tile roof including rain gutter and lights. All aspects of the project were done with great skill and surely will add value to our home as it looks as if was part of the original home architecture. The red tile roof is identical to our other existing roofing. Our project manager Mike had a great group of dedicated installers and followed our plan perfectly. I highly recommend them”

“The project that EBCON Co. did for me wrapped up about a week ago. I thought they did an excellent job. The project was to design and build an ensuite addition to my house for my disabled sister, who will be moving in with me in a couple of months. I hired EBCON for the project as they had done my home remodel when I moved into my current house 10 years ago. I was very happy with that project and pleased that several of their key personnel and subcontractors were the same as for my previous project. The current project consisted of a bedroom/studio, bath, hallway/study, walk-through clothes closet, lots of storage space, and small outdoor patio with wheelchair ramp. As my sister is an artist and art teacher, we asked for a design that provided high walls for hanging her paintings and extra space in the bedroom/studio for her to paint and potentially teach a few students. The design process went very well. The designer worked constructively with us and made numerous trips to tile, stone, and carpet stores with us to select materials. We greatly appreciated the detailed plan skeches she generated, some of which showed my sister’s paintings up on the walls in her bedroom/studio! Challenges, including access to the addition through existing bedrooms and integrating the design with the existing house, were solved well. ADA guidelines for accessibility were strictly followed for the design and materials. We – and all our family and friends - love the design and how it has turned out. The construction work was very high quality – EBCON has very high standards for the work done on their projects, including for the smallest details. The EBCON team and the sub-contractors they brought in were great to work with through all the stages, including design, construction, and completion. In addition to weekly on-site progress meetings (which included the project manager, superintendent, designer, and often the head of the company), I was kept informed on a daily basis about what was happening and the timing for next steps. EBCON staff were always on site while work was being done, and they were always reachable for conversations. Overall we are very happy with the project. I would definitely use EBCON again were I to have another project, and I recommend them without reservation to anyone planning a large or small home construction or renovation project.”
