Peter Pawlak Design Studio LLC

Working with Peter Pawlak on our San Francisco apartment was a positive experience in many ways. First of all, Peter is a talented professional designer who loves his work and included us in every aspect of the creative process. He was always available to take our calls and listen to our concerns, no matter how busy his schedule. This project was a total gut-job renovation and the end result was amazing: a tired old 1929 coop apartment evolved into an elegant modern space. We are thrilled and enjoying living in this beautiful and functional environment that Peter created for us. Lastly, on a more personal note, we so enjoyed working with a very talented architect who valued us as individuals and showed modesty and kindness throughout the project. We would welcome the opportunity to work with Peter Pawlak again should the occasion present itself.

I have know Peter as a colleague for over 20 years. I have seen many private residences he has created. They are beautiful and, most of all, luxuriously comfortable homes. Peter is respectful and courteous to his clients; he is dedicated and thorough with the projects. I recently had an opportunity to work along side Peter, and was able to see the process in which he took an apartment project through. Peter is a very good communicator. He can translate and sometimes forecast his clients needs and desires in his design. He considers every minute detail of movements and how the space may be inhabited during design phase, and he is very knowledgeable in the construction process that the project flows seamlessly from start to finish. For the finishing touch, Peter is very well versed in furnishing and has a good eye for colors, that the homes he designed are at once impeccable and inviting.

My husband and I hired PP to do our apartment renovation after seeing his work in our friends' new home. We thought he had the style and an eye for details that we were looking for. It wasn’t an easy task since the apartment was located in an old building, with a tiny elevator, narrow stairs and other obstacles that required a lot of planning and logistics, but Peter took the challenge. After 8 months we had the apartment of our dreams. Since day 1 Peter listened to our needs, including our kids'. He took every concern and opinion into consideration and was able to translate them with precision. When my son told him he wanted to design his own bookshelf, Peter was right there next to him, helping with the details and giving good advice with excitement and encouragement. The result is a home with personality, a home that reflects the family we are and that we enjoy living in. I had a great time with Peter visiting showrooms, looking for the right bathroom fixture, picking the wallpaper etc . During the whole process, he was very involved, concerned with costs and specially with the quality of the work. We became friends, and I have since recommend his work to a lot of people.
