Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Juan Capistrano

Daniel Hruby Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Juan Capistrano
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.”

FoxLin Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Juan Capistrano
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 2, 2013
“My husband and I worked with FoxLin Architects on our custom ground up home in Carlsbad (north of San Diego), California and we would very highly recommend them. The home is now complete and it is remarkable down to the last detail. We felt like our values were always considered and we had countless conversations about even the smallest of details from paint colors to the cabinetry handles. At times we questioned the proposals and in the end we could see and now can understand their vision. Juintow and Michael are both very talented, innovated and experienced architects, designers, and project managers who can easily show many iterations on the computer as well as obtain countless physical samples of tiles, stain samples etc. This level of personal dedication and attention to detail is what constantly put us at ease on the design of our new home. 
 The bottom line is that we count on them for envisioning designs and that is also what set them apart from others. It is also worth mention that they were always grounded enough to understand our budget and make not only beautiful, but also realistic proposals. Again, we are highly recommending FoxLin Architects to anyone who wants a bit more than norm.”
OCTOBER 5 Fine Home Builders
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Juan Capistrano
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 10, 2015
“Our extraordinary custom home, designed and reconstructed by October 5 Fine Home Builders is undeniably a work of art. October 5 offers superior design and execution, where form and function converge. Ryan, the project superintendent, attends to every detail with an eye for quality and perfection. Their open-floor plan design blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, light abounds in every room, yet the space remains purposely private and intimate. Originally constructed in 1953, our home had not undergone any remodeling or updating. During construction, the house was all but demolished - leaving only the rough framing and portions of the exterior stucco and siding. Earthquake updates, 200 amp electrical service, beefed-up insulation, plumbing, heating and air-conditioning, smooth drywall, wide-plank flooring, bathrooms, kitchen, and dual-glazed windows supported the bulk of the project, which lasted 4 ½ months. With clean contemporary lines, the modern floor plan, great for entertaining, offers a celebrated life-style. What a beautiful and relaxing way to enjoy life! We say, “Call October 5 to celebrate your next project.””

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 11, 2016
“Mark Teale is one of the easiest architects to work with in the area! You will not find a better architect or architecture firm that will listen to your ideas and thoughts and illustrate it the way you didn't know you wanted it. They listen, suggest and create your masterpiece just for you. I am asked constantly about who I would recommend to draw up plans and the answer is ALWAYS Mark Teale! You won't go wrong here.”

“As an engineer, I have had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with Alex Petrakos, a truly exceptional architect. Alex’s architectural designs are nothing short of remarkable, seamlessly blending aesthetic elegance with practical functionality. His innovative approach and keen attention to detail consistently result in structures that are not only visually stunning but also structurally sound. One of Alex’s standout qualities is his ability to balance creativity with engineering principles. He has an innate understanding of how architectural beauty can coexist with structural integrity, which makes my job as an engineer both rewarding and enjoyable. His designs are meticulously planned, and he always considers the engineering implications of his architectural vision, ensuring a smooth and efficient collaboration process. Alex’s communication skills are exemplary. He is always open to discussing ideas and solutions, making sure that all aspects of the project are aligned and optimized. His proactive approach and willingness to incorporate feedback ensure that each project progresses seamlessly, ultimately leading to outstanding results. Working with Alex is a highlight of my professional career. His passion for architecture and dedication to excellence make him my favorite client to work with. I am consistently impressed by his innovative designs and look forward to many more successful projects together.”

Eyoh Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Juan Capistrano
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 8, 2016
“Dustin and Alex are passionate about what they do and their enthusiasm is contagious. They were incredibly professional and went above and beyond to create a layout that would suit our growing families needs while working within our budget. They redesigned our kitchen, family room and outdoor entertainment area. We plan to do the renovation in stages and they came up with a plan to tackle each phase. We have completed phase one which entailed knocking out our existing fire place that divided our kitchen and family room. We now have an open planned kitchen and living room that has completely transformed our space. We will be renovating our kitchen and entertainment area later on this year and feel confident in all elements of the redesign with direction from Eyoh Design. We look forward to working with them in the future.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 11, 2012
“Working with Jim was an amazing experience. I loved watching his creativity in action-- What an eye for detail and design!!! We started with a kitchen remodel that spread throughout the house (my fault!!!). I couldn't have been happier with our choices-- from wall color to baseboard sizes to fixtures to design principles. We LOVE everything he did for us and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for an artist who really listens to and performs for his client.”

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

How do I find the best San Juan Capistrano 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 San Juan Capistrano 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 San Juan Capistrano, 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 San Juan Capistrano 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?
