Count us among the lucky few who have had a great experience with their architect. David designed our new home, and helped manage the building process. We love the design he developed, and it truly was a pleasure working with him.
Several aspects of working with David stand out. He has great design ideas, but willingly incorporates his clients' ideas into the plans (he doesn't have an oversized ego about his projects). He is local and knows the ins/outs of the Palo Alto building process. He works on his own and is involved in all aspects of making the project a success. He is reasonably priced and uses a reasonable pricing format (hourly fees rather than a percentage of building costs). He is very friendly.
We valued David's continued involvement to the very end of our project...he insisted that we have weekly meetings, on-site, with the contractor during the final months of the project. These meetings ensured that communications issues were minimized.
We really can't recommend his services highly enough. Get him if you can!
