Floor Plan Companies in Manhattan Beach

“Mark Cuellar is a brilliant architect, a joy to work with and a consummate professional. He has impeccable taste and exactly the clean, modern aesthetic we love. Working with Mark we were able to design a total makeover of our cramped and dark 1950 California Bungalow that transformed it into a light filled, modern loft like space - increasing our usable square footage and creating great flow without expanding the footprint. He’s basically a wizard We live in a Wildland Urban Interface Zone, which has many building restrictions. Mark navigated our town’s incredibly complicated code and permit process with great skill and patience, submitting drafts quickly when changes were required by the building department. He coordinated with structural engineers to get our dream project through a meticulous, fine tooth comb permit review, implementing structural framing upgrades and fire sprinklers that make our house the safest in the neighborhood (as well as the best looking). We so appreciated his sense of humor and steady presence when we decided to change contractors in the middle of our project - Mark calmly helped us through the transition and made sure no information was lost in translation. Mark is just great to work with. He was available every time I had a question and is super collaborative. I’m very interested in design and took a very active role in the project. Mark was skillful at both helping me decide between competing ideas in my head and introducing me to things I hadn’t considered. He has a great eye and I knew I could trust his choices. He always kept both our vision and the ultimate property value / future resale viability in mind, helping us make choices that would result in a house we love and also a house we could sell someday. Whether it was deciding on tile and finishes, explaining things we didn’t understand, giving smart design advice (like advocating for including a coat closet in our entry for future resale, that we now so appreciate putting our own coats in!), or graciously listening to our inexpert ideas and interpreting them beautifully in the plans, Mark always made us feel heard. I couldn’t be happier with our beautiful, new space. We love our house so much and our neighbors are blown away! I cannot recommend him highly enough - he is literally the best.”

“Joesph Spierer, and his team were both amazing and professional in the creation of plans for our addition and remodel. In our initial meetings, a timeline of the work to be done with specific milestones to be accomplished were discussed and shared with us. Throughout the plan development, we were in constant and continual communication on the status of our plan. Due to their technical expertise and knowledge, our plans were approved by our city expeditiously and without issue. We have begun construction and it's all becoming a reality! We appreciate this team, as this would not have been possible without them.”
