Butler Armsden is one of the top residential design firms in the Bay Area. They are experienced in a broad range of architectural styles and consistently produce work that is appropriate for each client and site, and not limited to a narrow design aesthetic. The office is also incredibly well versed in dealing with major planning department issues as well as navigating through the building department with complex projects. Lewis and the entire crew are charming, talented, and hard-working. They are an absolute pleasure to work with.

Simply, chic and completely. Modern but it's very nice to mix and match back to nature. Calm and sometimes colorful. They know how to making special decoration to classic.
