Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Chula Vista

BVM Design, Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Chula Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 31, 2016
“After finding him on Yelp with good reviews, we had BVM design a 655 sq. ft. residence that incorporated a pre existing building. He was responsive to emails and calls and gave us a surprising number of designs. He was able to give us exactly what we wanted, despite our ideas being communicated rather poorly over the many many interruptions of small children. It was not cheap, but I don't really know what others charge. Also, when our general contractor saw the plans he said "boy, this guy knows how to draw!!" Overall, he was really easy to work with, gave us exactly what we wanted, and impressed other professionals in his field. What more could you want??”
Buffett Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Chula Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 5, 2015
“After meeting with a few different architects, we hired Buffett Design for our whole house remodel. Tyler is friendly, real, and was very understanding in regards to our constantly changing ideas. When it was difficult for us to visualize the space based on the 2D sketches, he created a 3D walkthrough experience on the computer for us. This was so helpful for us to "walk through" the new space before construction even started!”
Remcon Design Build

Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsJanuary 21, 2013
“Did a great job. Had some difficulties with communication, but those were cleared and overall did an excellent job. We love our new kitchen!”
Stel Builders, Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Chula Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 20, 2014
“Seth Larson was amazing to work with!!!! Seth is very talented and very professional. We briefly described to Seth what we were looking for as far as the master bathroom and master bedroom. Seth came back with a design that was beyond our dreams. He gave me the perfect closet, bedroom and my absolutely favorite of them all....my master bathroom. He gave me the spa-like master bathroom that I absolutely love! Even after a year and a half of being in our newly remodeled home, I still can't believe that this "spa" is my very own bathroom!!! Thank you, Seth!”
Modern Yardz Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Chula Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 9, 2022
“The artificial grass look is perfect for my front yard (water conservation). There were no money surprises, the schedule was announced and kept, and the workers were polite and efficient. There was nominal disruption to our normal routine and none to the neighbors. In just two days, our yard was transformed! The company is a gem. I highly recommend Thomas and Modern Yardz.”
Kim Grant Design Inc
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Chula Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 11, 2015
“We worked with Kim to restore our 1920s Craftsman home in North Park. After interviewing several other architects, we knew with 100% certainty that Kim would be the perfect fit for our project. Not only did she come up with design and layout insights that we never would have thought of, she provided thoughtful, respectful and determined guidance throughout the project. She helped in every way possible... including the eventual Mills Act designation we received for the house. My husband and I are both very demanding, and high maintenance, clients, and Kim was able to keep us happy and content at all times. She's got an incredible relationships with contractors, builders and city officials. She's just the best... PERIOD. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!”

“Sam is very capable and delivered exactly what we requested. Very capable and easy to work with during the process. Very responsive.”
Jeanne Liem Architecture + Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Chula Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 25, 2013
“I strongly recommend Jeanne Liem. My company worked with her on designing and building-out residential projects. Jeanne has a terrific aesthetic and is really hard working. She took the time to truly understand what we wanted and made our vision a reality. From beginning until the end, she has been very professional, responsive, proactive, and being able to come up with multiple solutions to simple and complex problems we encountered during construction. Their design elements are so elegant and well matched with our concept that exceeded my expectations in many ways. Also, they did all those within the budget requirements. They were flexible in all the areas we worked. She made everything so easy and smooth. I do not even want to imagine what would happen if we have taken another route instead of working with her.”
Architects Magnus
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Chula Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 3, 2013
“Architects Magnus provided architectural services in connection with the ground-up construction of an approximately 3,500 sq. ft. home in San Diego, CA. The husband and wife team of Hector and Pam Magnus provided excellent insight, progressive design and demeanor throughout the project. They worked well with city officials and construction professionals in order to effectively and efficiently work through various issues. They met all design related deadlines and completed their services within the budget. Their considerable experience and knowledge was invaluable when it came to the implementation of a custom design with the maximum use of conventional construction techniques that were more cost effective than custom fabrication alternatives. Some examples include the use of stucco without color additives in order to mimic poured-in-place concrete and the use of an inexpensive torch-down roof membrane so that more of the roofing budget could be used for an inlaid tongue and groove ceiling made from sustainably grown hardwoods. This balanced approach between design and construction allowed us to maximize our budget by emphasizing those components of the home that give us the most enjoyment. Perhaps most importantly, Hector and Pam understand people. They challenged our notions of what our home could be in a manner that gained our trust and allowed for a far more dynamic and interesting living environment than we otherwise would have had. The end result far exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Hector and Pam, the house, affectionately known as the “Jewell Box”, is not just a custom floor plan, but truly a custom home with unique elements designed to make the most of our living environment within the confines of applicable building codes, coastal commission requirements and our budget. We love living in the Jewell Box that Architects Magnus envisioned for us.”
Bill Bocken Architecture & Interior Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Chula Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 31, 2013
“Bill did the design and architecture on an amazing contemporary 3000 sq ft whole house remodel in Mission Hills, San Diego. San Diego Home and Garden Magazine selected this project as their 2010 whole house remodel of the year, and the house was featured on the 2012 San Diego Dwell Home Tour. The project has also been in multiple local and national publications, and is more perfect than we could have ever hoped for. Bill was the genius behind our dream home, thank you Bill!!!”
