Carolyn Cox

Our family has worked with Robin on two custom home builds. One in San Jose and one at a lake in central California. She is an excellent collaborator, brings experience and creativity to each project and is very timely helping us make key decisions to keep the project moving. We collaborated on the land, where certain parts of the house would take best advantage of a setting sun, where the office should be etc. She came up with three ideas that we refined to make it our home! And she not only collaborated with us but also the civil engineer, the structural engineer and the builder. She's brought creativity to each project with the overall home design as well as materials - mixed metal and composite roof, tiles, wood beams, and natural stone. She is very responsive and knowledgeable on timelines and required information needed for permit submissions. She helped quickly turn around a recent resubmittal that was required for our propane gas plan. Highly recommend Robin for anyone looking to build your dream home!

Thank you Carolyn! It has been a joy to work with you and your family for the past 5 years on 2 projects. I appreciate your kind words.

I LOVEEE Robin. We are building our first house and the biggest stress factor for me was how to hire the right team since we didn't know anything about construction. I had been stalking Robin for two+ years because her work is amazing so she was an easy first contract for us to sign. But quite frankly, Robin has surpassed my expectations. She is the kindest, most talented, and above all else cares deeply about the best quality outcome for you as her client and I feel so so much more confident with her on our side. On top of producing the best designs taking into consideration what we wanted, she's always available to answer our many questions, provide guidance on the construction process, and so patient with all my pestering questions and over ruminated tweaks. We hired her for both the house plans as well as the design and her design work is also IMPECCABLE. I'm so excited to work on this new build with her and her team!

Thank you so much dear client! We have enjoyed tremendously working with you and your family on the design of your new home during 2021, and look forward to a great 2022 build!

Robin is absolutely wonderful to work with!! She is so warm, kind and easy going. After our first meeting I felt like I had already known her for a long time! She gave us two excellent designs to choose from. Robin incorporated everything we were hoping to get out of our remodel and she designed such a great floor plan. She also took into consideration what kind of house would fit well with our neighborhood. Robin helped us with interior design items as well. She is very knowledgeable and walked us through the entire remodel process very patiently. Robin has great style and ideas, check out all of the beautiful photos of her work! She is amazing and you will not be disappointed. We couldn't be happier with our home and we highly recommend Robin!

Thank you so much Kelli for the wonderful and kind review! I am really glad that you are enjoying your finished home, and that the design works well for you and your family. You are great clients, and I enjoyed working with you on your home renovation!

Robin and her team designed our project in Redwood City and we are thrilled about how they understood our briefing and developed an awesome solution. As they say: Proportion is everything.

I hired Arch Studio to complete a redesign of an existing 1 bedroom, 1 bath home in Willow Glen. I demolished the home and worked with the existing foundation adding an additional 300+ sq. ft turning the home into a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath. We also added a detached 600 sq. ft. 1 bedroom, I bath ADU unit. Words can't describe how wonderful it was to work with Robin and Heather. They helped me through all phases of the project including construction drawings, interior design which included flooring, tile selection, paint colors, light fixtures, plumbing accessories down to towel bars. Robin and Heather were both committed to the project as if it was there own. If you are thinking of building a new home or remodeling an existing home I highly recommend giving Arch Studio a call.

We hired Arch Studio on our recent house remodel. Robin was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She redesigned our house as a modern style craftsman style home and we loved how she was able to hit every item on our wish list by maximizing our living square footage with no wasted space. Hiring a contractor was one of our biggest stress, but Robin helped out with a great referral and they work very well together to bring our vision to life. While this entire project was tiring and stressful, we were happy that we had Robin throughout.

Robin and her assistant Heather were very helpful with my 900 sq/ft project. She had lots of ideas and feedback for my home addition. She was very professional and easy to communicate with. She also helped in finding me a contractor for my project. I would highly recommend her for any design work for any size project. I'm very pleased with her services.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Jim! It was a pleasure to work with you on your project, and look forward to the construction!

We have been working with Robin for almost a year now to design our new home. Robin has been great to work with. She is very professional, has great ideas and she is up to date with current trends. We have had a lot of questions from the start and Robin is always quick to help. She and Heather have done such a nice job helping us design our dream home. We actually get to virtually walk through our home as we move along the process which is awesome to have the 3D model available. We have enjoyed working with Robin so much as our architect that we just hired her on as our designer. We look forward to having her help us as we move forward to decorate our home. Thanks Robin for all your hard work.

I have worked with Robin on several projects to provide landscape plans for the new homes she designs. I have found her to be very creative and have enjoyed working with Robin and her staff.

Thank you so much Mara for your kind words- I have really enjoyed our collaboration and look forward to many more projects together!

Louis Chen

We found Arch Studio on Houzz and we were very happy with their work. Robin provided three proposals for our addition and remodeling project, and was very responsive in providing revisions once we decided to go with one of the design. She was able to incorporate our needs into the floor plan, and the result was an open design with good flow. We appreciated Robin's design even more after we moved in, because she took care of the details and everything just makes sense. We enjoy the house very much, and get a lot of compliments from neighbors and friends.
