“Being a Custom Home Builder, it is very important to have only the best team possible right from the beginning. Donald Joseph, Inc. is a firm that has done wonders for my clients and my company. Donald and Kevin understand how to design to fit their clients budgets and exceed their expectations. Kent Sciutto President Turn-Key Construction Group, Inc.”

“Jeff Potts at SDG designed us an incredible, award winning guest house! What I particularly like about Jeff is his open and approachable style. We've worked with many architects over the years and many simply don't want to listen to the client. Jeff listens and then delivers a design beyond your expectations. I would highly recommend working with them.”

“Elma Gardner is a very talented designer and a fun person to work with. We originally contacted her to help us with the kitchen and bathroom cabinetry design and install for our new home. She offers all the design help needed to complete a project. First, she presented a couple of different layouts for us to consider. The designs were fantastic. Then she scheduled appointments for us to meet with her at several different showrooms including: lighting, plumbing, appliance, and tile showrooms. She listened to what we wanted and helped us make good choices. She was available to meet at the job site during construction. Elma runs a great business; she is very organized, efficient and accommodating. She gets things done on time and she is easy to contact by phone, email or in person. The cabinetry company that she works with makes high quality, beautiful cabinets.”

“Lezley Barclay is everything we were looking for in an architect. She listened to our needs and designed a spectacular family home for us in Tahoe. As a professional, Lezley is organized, responsible, skillful, creative and up to date on new architectural design trends, materials and procedures. She has been personable and respectful of our wishes and idiosyncrasies. She has blended seamlessly into a team of spectacular professionals we have hired to complete our home. We have subsequently hired Lezley for many other projects including three more custom homes and numerous home renovations. It is a pleasure to highly recommend Lezley Barclay for any architectural project you may be preparing to tackle. Amy C. Lake Tahoe/ Truckee”

“I am in interior designer in Sacramento and have worked with Ellis Architects. They are top notch firm. They know their stuff, are well versed in "green" construction, and really listen to what the client wants. They also honor deadlines and really understand a client's budget.”

“Mark was recommended to us by a local contractor, and he turned out to be great throughout the entire process. He did conceptual drawings and then the full set of plans for a major remodel on our Spanish revival home in 2009. We had alot of our own ideas and he respected them, all the while adding his own input and rolling it all together into a stunning final result. Most of the work centered around a kitchen remodel and adding a covered back porch and entry from the driveway. There was also a bath room laundry room, office area and dining room with a fireplace. He was very pleasant to work with (easy going, nice guy, etc) which helps enormously when you're trying to get the mental images of what you want on to paper. One thing still stands out is that his plans were so thorough and full of so many details. Very impressive work, and our project wasn't easy.”

“Roger provided a series of archicad drawings for a Beverly Hills office building renovation that effectively recreated the space. I highly recommend Roger to anyone I know, Commercial or Residential, that is looking for an architect.”

“I love this house every single day I'm in it. And some make a credible argument that our detached bedroom, added later, also by their design, is the best part! Inside and out flow seamlessly, which is what our psyches need. Recently we made a rookie mistake. We needed help with big plans for landscaping to be integrative with our big add-on deck. We first turned to a landscape person...FAIL. We so should have turned to Designworks first. We pitched the landscape person's lame 'concept.'; We are building to Designworks plans. (Did i mention they provided valuable consultation that added to the transformation remodel of our Boulder City desert home?)”

“We loved working with Melissa and Jay-they are talented, professional, creative and thoughtful. They are hands-on, accessible, hardworking and caring. We needed an Architect who understood the needs of a growing family and who could redesign our home into something that would better reflect our lifestyle-Jay and Melissa were the perfect match. Not only were they wonderful to work with, but their passion and knowledge were incredible. It was helpful to have people who were focussed on the end result given that we needed to phase our project. Melissa and Jay were accommodating in helping to develop a master plan for the house as a whole, and then breaking the actual projects up into manageable phases. They had great suggestions for keeping the project within budget, while at the same time understanding where to splurge. Their knowledge of materials, products and construction resulted in a home that is far more wonderful than we expected. We appreciate that they were always available and willing to work at the pace that we needed, and that they were there with recommendations and options for every decision from design options, to cabinetry and hardware choices, to an excellent sense of color and material. They made the process enjoyable and easy. We look forward to working with them again when we are ready to start the next phase.”

“Knutson Architecture provided us with plans for a complete renovation/addition on a 1915 home in Sacramento. They were professional, easy to work with, and communicated with us every step of the way. We ran into some structural problems along the way, and Eric Knutson took care of hiring a structural engineer for us so that we did not lose too much time with new plans, changes, etc. He helped us stay on budget and on track in regards to all the renovations and changes needed. I would highly recommend Knutson Architecture for any job needed...big or small. It was a complete pleasure working with them!”
