KYLE CHAN ARCHITECT
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Opal Cliffs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 19, 2015
“Before I begin my remodel plan, I was debating whether or not I should hire a professional architect, and I am glad I did. Kyle is extremely knowledgable and resourceful, he organize and oversee the whole project, as well as fill in every little detail that I probably will neglect. Not only he design a cost effective layout for us, tackle all the structural issues, he also help me deal with all the permit and legal hassle so that I can concentrate on shopping for my new sofa and coffee machine. Working with Kyle is such a pleasant experience, he is responsive, honest, and detail oriented. Having Kyle as my professional architect is the best decision I made throughout the entire project!!”

“Eugene Sakai stood out far above the pack of the 5 Architectural firms that we investigated to do our total house construction. He was simply the best to deal with, very professional, on time, and took a personal interest in the project, and within budget. We moved in 2 years ago and still love him and the contractor, C.W. Wright in San Carlos. We are pleased to show the house through Eugene Sakai at any time.”

“2017-07-02 My husband and I had been thinking about remodeling our master bathroom for a few years, but we took our time to start it because we couldn’t find any designers we liked. However, after we had a consultation with Yuki, we had a good feeling that she would create our dream bathroom. She listened to our desires carefully and she created the design exactly how I wanted it to be. She communicated quite positively with our contractor and directed all the details of her design. Her advice was very professional and precise. Because of Yuki’s aesthetic design style, our dream bathroom turned out to be far better than we expected. We couldn’t go through the remodeling process without her. My husband and I are also planning an addition for our house in the future, and Yuki is the only person we will trust to work on our project again!”

Studio-AMA
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Opal Cliffs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 26, 2023
“We had the pleasure of working with Adam Mayer of Studio AMA on a full renovation for my childhood home in Palo Alto. As both architect and designer, Adam was tasked with modernizing the home while still honoring its core structure and spirit. Adam truly works in the spirit of collaboration. We never felt pressured or pushed into a style or aesthetic choice that wasn’t our own. It’s clear that Adam prioritizes the client’s vision, which is not always the case with other designers. From a logistical perspective, Adam is easy to reach and responsive. His attention to detail and research made the permitting process a breeze. He also stepped up to the plate on our behalf when our contractor tried to drop a key part of our architectural plan (which was already approved by a structural engineer and the city.) Many of Adam’s suggestions completely transformed our house into a space that is bright, airy, and spacious, while also being functional and family-friendly. We are so happy with our beautiful new home and have nothing but good things to say about working with Adam.”
Studio3 Design, Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Opal Cliffs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 16, 2014
“I was introduced to Bess through a previous Designer I worked with who was retiring her business. She felt Bess would be a good fit for me and my job, and I knew from our first meeting she was right. Bess and her Studio 3 team came on the job when we completed the basic house conceptual plan. Her input and ideas only further enhanced the function of the floor plan. As well, her knowledge, expertise and practical approach has been so valuable especially as this is my first major house remodel. I have quickly found how easy it is to keep expanding the plan as well as the budget! She does a great job keeping me on track and realistic, which my husband appreciates! Bess has guided us through our Phase 1 of the crazy permit process for an in law quarters and is now assisting with our phase 2, the rest of the house., all the while setting expectations of how to work with the city. She is also great when working with your personal choice of contractors, although she provides her own top notch referrals. Her team is friendly and responsive. We still have a ways to go, but she is willing to work with you on what services you need in regards to your budget, which I appreciate. I've been in Real Estate for 13 years, and one thing I've learned is when you find great vendors, partner with them, keep using them and refer them! I've referred Studio 3 to two people / clients with different styles and both have been thrilled to work with her. I would highly recommend you give Studio 3 and Bess a call for your next large or smaller project!”

He and the project architects in his office truly care about their work and know the latest codes and how to make space where there is no space. A designers and homeowners dream.

“I have worked with Todd from Bayless Architecture on 2 ADU projects and would highly recommend him. He is fast with his work, very attentive, and does the research about city regulations. Working with him made getting my plans approved through the City a breeze with minimal corrections. A++”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of an Opal Cliffs home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through local Opal Cliffs, CA architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Opal Cliffs residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Opal Cliffs residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different residential architecture firms in Opal Cliffs, CA provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

Questions to ask prospective Opal Cliffs interior architects:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
