“Austin is a very nice person and we've working together for several years. Most of his projects are homes and I like his design a lot.

“As a real estate broker, property manager and investment property owner for over 15 years I have worked with may designers, contractors and sub contractors (Good and bad) Mark at GCC Designs is at the top of my list of professionals I can trust to do the job right the first time. He shows up on time, articulates the scope of the job in a way that is easily understood and executes on time. The value he provides is right in line with the cost of the job. He is currently working on a major job in my personal home that is moving along just as planned.”

“Very professional, creative and provided us with great ideas during our home remodeling. Andrew walked us step by step through the renovation process.

Arkeyat Design House made our Job much easier!! Highly recommended!!”

His extensive knowledge with the city codes and relationship with city officials is incredible. Don't hesitate to hire Masum, he is the best.”
Vertebrae Art and Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portola Hills
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 4, 2014
“Lisa Little worked wonders in our smallish Venice space. We had complicated needs and she found elegant solutions within a tight budget. We redid a kitchen from the walls out, extended it a bit, added a bar, added in a huge walk-in closet and staircase in the master bedroom, and reconfigured a guest loft. The latter involved enclosing a half-wall for privacy via rotating shutters that Lisa dreamed up and designed. The shutters rotate open when the loft is not in use and closed when we have company up there. This was a brilliant idea, brilliantly executed at not much cost. Lisa helped with fixture choice, color choice, and furniture choice, and worked closely with the general contractor and his subs. She exhibited great taste, a firm hand, and a keen eye on the budget. Recommended without reservation.”

Daniel Hruby Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portola Hills
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 17, 2015
“I've had the pleasure of working with Dan at VIB on a couple home remodel projects. During the process, he consistently impressed me with his creative thinking and sensible solutions. Dan has a real knack for coming up with 'out-of-the-box' solutions for common design issues that accomplish the underlying goal, all while maximizing the dollar. Dan was always very responsive to my requests and his turnaround times far exceeded my expectations. In fact, I was so impressed with Dan's abilities that I hired him to help with the styling and design of an innovative wind turbine project. I look forward to the day when we can work on another project together and in the meantime will recommend him every chance I get.”

“We have used to Bob Yabarra on 3 projects that required as built drawings, and a two story house renovation. The products were professional, per our agreement, on time, and for a fare price. He is fare and though we made changes there was never an extra charge to us.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a Portola Hills 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 Portola Hills, CA architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Portola Hills 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 Portola Hills 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 Portola Hills, 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 Portola Hills 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?
