Allard Jansen Architects, Inc.

After we lost our home in 2007, due to the wildfires in San Diego we hired Allard's firm to design a 8,000 sq. ft . Spanish Mediterranean style home with an emphasis on indoor / outdoor living . My wife and I are extremely happy with the end result and the fact that our home and specially our kitchen has been featured in several design magazines is testimony to the quality and autistics of our new home . We highly recommend Allard and his team .

I highly recommend that you Google '8543 Run of the Knolls' and check out the photos of our home. What you will view is one of the most wonderful homes you'll lay your eyes on. The architectural firm we used to design this home was Allard Jansen Architects and it's hard to properly express how fantastic an experience this was. Everyone who walks into our home tells us it's the most beautiful home they have ever seen and when I walk the house with them and point out the nuances and beauty of the design, they are left in awe. Team AJA was easy and fun to work with and they embraced our ideas with passion and support and we took this house to another level. Call Allard, set up an interview, you'll understand what I'm talking about. This is the best architectural firm in Southern California.

Allard Jansen has been the architect on four major house projects for us over a 20 year period, both new structures and makeovers, sized from 4000 to 8000 square feet. Each has been a great success in our view and that of our family, friends and realtors. He brings creative ideas to every project, things we wouldn't have thought of that improve the use of space while making a home more interesting, livable and aesthetically pleasing. He often introduces historical touches that give a house character, and he always maximizes views and natural light. Allard is a pleasure to work with and is appreciated by the entire team (engineer, contractor, interior designer). His works efficiently, so his charges are reasonable. More importantly, we trust his judgment completely and seek his advice on design decisions that go beyond the architectural plans. When the project is finished, you can be sure you will have added significantly to the value of your home. When it comes to architects, Allard is simply the best!

Allard Jansen is the most professional architect I have dealt with in my thirty years of building houses. His overall design and attention to detail reflected perfectly my vision of my project. He was extremely helpful in assisting in contractor introduction and selection and the approval process. In addition his work was on time and right on budget.
