designpad architecture - Patrick Perez Architect

We have been so happy with our house addition designed by Patrick. He has a great eye, creates beautiful designs and listened well to our needs and feedback.

I needed a complete middle floor renovation for my 3 level condo in Diamond Hts. My highly experienced qualified designer/decorator Vaso Peritos mentioned an architect that she worked with and asked me to see if he was available. I had met with a few others by that time. I made an appointment with Patrick and immediately felt his professionalism, (nicely soft spoken) ~ a great thing for me ~. Patrick's good taste and quick at understanding his clients was a deal-maker. Patrick had designed a remodel on Sanchez nearby and he took me to see his work in progress. It was an impressive modern design of a four level Victorian in upper Noe Valley. Everything in such great taste ~ nothing left out, a beautiful transformation. I looked over examples of his work from his website gallery. Patrick provided all drawings and accurate computer renderings. Patrick helped me pick my SF contractor, Chris Burnham Inc. Things couldn't have gone smoother as a consequence. It was a wonderful experience. I would not hesitate to refer Patrick to any of my friends or family. XXXXX of 5 stars.

We worked with Patrick on a full home remodel/new addition. Patrick is extremely professional, always quickly responds with any questions we had. Patrick is an excellent mediator between the client and contractor. North Bay Construction would recommend Patrick on all of our residential projects due to his character and ability to execute high design.

Patrick is wonderful to work with. Had innovative ideas and produced plans on time. There are two windows he added to our home that bring in light in unexpected places. His design for our kitchen was super. He also is very level headed and when we didn't agree with one design plan, he produced two more with zero rancor. He also helped us choose a contractor and worked well with the chosen contractor. We love our home now; thanks Patrick!

We had a great experience working with Patrick. He has an excellent attention to detail and really took the time to get to know us and our style and aesthetic. He always presented different options and was very adept and creative at problem-solving, particularly when dealing with challenges from city planning.

It was a pleasure to work with Patrick. His attention to detail in the extensive remodel design and his careful focus on finishes made sure that the project was a success. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone that is looking for an architect or designer to be a part of their project team.

When we hired Patrick on to our project in Noe Valley we had a lot of ideas swirling around. In a nutshell, we wanted to take our home from a 2 bed/2 bath to a 3 bed/3 bath. Somehow he was able to decipher our vision and get it onto paper. He was VERY patient as I threw out several ideas and “what do you think if we did this or that?” sort of statements. After several revisions and numerous discussions with a problematic neighbor, we finally filed with the City. After a few hiccups (mostly of our own making) and a complete design change, 18 months later we finally had the necessary approvals. Patrick was instrumental during this entire process, he was patient, professional, and followed the progress of our application through the many departments San Francisco requires. He really seems to know his way around the Building Department, which we've learned is extremely valuable. As we are in the world of design, this was the extent of our need for his services, or so we thought. We recently came to the final stage our our remodel, the Final Inspection. Unfortunately we ran into a snag due a not well thought out decision during construction and found ourselves in need of Patrick's assistance once again. 12 months after our last conversation, I was able to ring him up in a panic and asked for his help. I explain what it was we needed to pass our final inspection, and within the week we had it and passed. I would be happy to work with Patrick again on future projects, and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an architect

Patrick helped us with a our kitchen/dining room/entry way remodel. We took the space down to the studs, moved walls, and reconfigured the entire kitchen/ dining room area. We hired Patrick because we felt he understood our need to blend existing spaces with the new space. From the start, Patrick was responsive and easy to work with. His design has resulted in a kitchen/dining/ living space that I truly cannot believe is our own! The end result is just beautiful. He is thoughtful, patient, and detail oriented. He was a great support for us throughout the construction project. Having an architect was a must for us. He was able to work well with our contractor and helped keep us all on track. My husband and I both highly recommend Patrick. Working with him was a wholly positive experience.

building Lab worked with Patrick on a new media / living room project that required extensive cabinetry and furniture grade woodwork. While the project piqued our interest for the level of craft and precision it demanded, we were also quite curious about how effective the design would be in real life. Any doubts were completely unwarranted. Patrick's vision for the project was abundantly unique and yet appropriately restrained. He brought a previously non-descript, appendage of a room into the life of the home and was extremely effective in addressing the client's needs. As with all projects, questions and concerns came up during the course of construction. Patrick is known for bringing a calm, attentive and highly collaborative demeanor to all of his projects. This was no exception. We able to resolve all issues productively and expeditiously and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Patrick is an amazingly creative, patient and flexible architect. He found a way to balance San Francisco victorian style with a modern layout. Exactly what I was hoping for. I love when people come by for the first time. And now all of my friends who have since remodeled their homes have worked with him....that's saying something.

This is my first Houzz review. We met Patrick on Houzz.com via a series of photos in our ideabook. I called Patrick to ask questions about the stain he used on a house he worked on. Patrick was incredible generous with his time and explanations. He then texted me the name of the stain. A few months later, we wanted to install a fireplace in our bare living room. We thought of Patrick. Patrick met with us at our home and we noticed his very calm and professional demeanor. He asked us a lot of personal questions about how we use the space--we have 3 children. We talked about our aesthetics and he walked around the house as we explained the kinds of things we like. He took a genuine interest in our home and our needs. That seemed very unusual. After a short time, he came over to show us 4 design ideas. They were all brilliant! We ended up choosing his first design. It was modern, yet had a very traditional function, it wasn't cold in its design. Patrick also recommended we use a ventless, bio-ethanol fireplace. We were hesitant at first, but now that we have it, I can't imagine going any other way. It's green and safe! Patrick helped us find a contractor by securing bids on his own. We ended up using a contractor friend of ours, but Patrick's recommendations were pro. Before meeting Patrick, we had begun work with another architect on a different project. This architect charged for every email and phone call and visit to our home. It got to a point were we simply stopped calling or emailing him for fear of being charged too much. By contrast, Patrick does't do that. He's generous with his time and ideas. He's very accessible. The fireplace is complete and it looks better than we expected. It is a central feature of our home and we watch less TV since we hang out in the living room more often. In summary, Patrick has a very friendly demeanor and seems genuinely concerned with personalizing his projects. He shows great artistry in his design, is very affordable, and is an absolute professional. We highly recommend him!!

I have worked with Patrick on two renovations, a condo in San Francisco, and a country home in Sonoma County. Patrick has a great sense of space, always figuring out creative solutions to accommodate our ambitious "wish lists" within existing constraints. He is easy to work with, collaborative, understands the needs of young families, and truly cares about his clients' satisfaction. Patrick excels at creating spaces that are both beautiful and livable. I'd happily work with Patrick again!
