I have worked with Dylan Chappell for many years on a variety of interior design and new construction projects and highly recommend him as a uniquely talented designer and consummate professional.
Dylan has developed a new design system based on the principles and traditional techniques of the architectural process. This system minimizes or eliminates problems with schedule delays and unexpected costs. His standardized design methods maintain the high quality product that clients expect. At each phase he verifies the individual's critical needs so that they get everything they want in a new home. His architecture goes beyond style to provide each client with an exceptional design experience for their family and a reflection of their unique life style.
Dylan is also a positive active listener and a pleasure to work with.
Best regards
Terry Irwin, Architect

When I first began working with Dylan I was skeptical of how he would help with my new house. I had taken some Autocad classes and already had a good design I liked. I'd heard stories of architects envisioning elaborate and expensive plans that didn't relate to what the home owner wanted. Working with a small budget I felt I was taking a big risk by paying for design services that I thought the contractor and I could work out. However, after seeing Dylan's first revisions to my plans, I knew I had made the right choice by getting him evolved. Not only did he improve on my ideas, he was able to get everything I wanted in less space with much needed additional storage. If you are looking for an architect that will listen to your needs, save you time and money and give you a great design, I can highly recommend Dylan Chappell.

A few years ago, we engaged Dylan Chappell to design a major remodel for our home in Santa Barbara. This was a very big commitment for us and something we'd be planning on doing for a few years. Throughout the entire process, Dylan was not only a sound and innovative creative voice, but it was always tempered with reasonable, pragmatic thinking. He did a fabulous job in translating our "wants and needs" into a finished product that we've been extremely happy with. In short, as challenging as the remodel process can be, the experience and the outcome was everything we'd hoped for.
Recently we'd asked Dylan for some input and ideas regarding a patio structure we've been thinking about having built. Again, Dylan was very flexible in accommodating our needs as we began to formulate exactly what it is we want. His ideas and renderings were very well thought out and communicated in a manner that allowed us to better hone in on exactly what it was we want to accomplish.
Our experience in working with Dylan has been been very rewarding and always enjoyable. We highly recommend Dylan Chappell.
Sincerely,
Kim and Denise Cooper
