Professionnels proposant de la construction écologique sur Toro Canyon

“Skedio Studio’s team was very professional through out the whole process. They made sure we were satisfied with the plan and that the City approved everything.”

“I interviewed a number of architects and talked to a couple of references before selecting David Ferrin and Arketype Architects for my rather different project, that of building a two story home on top of an existing stone warehouse, providing three floors plus roof-deck in a tight urban setting. Before I selected him, I was impressed with his "can-do" attitude and examples of some of his thinking outside-the-box. The design work I saw was classy and much of it different. His use of materials tends towards the green but when price becomes an issue, he will demur or come up with an alternative. David is quietly spoken and his demeanor is thoughtful, low-key and confident. The project is still 12 months away from completion (I'm writing this in May 2015 ) so it isn't possible to give you final comment but to this point I have been VERY happy with his work. He is quick to effect changes and is very thorough with his plans, attention to detail (according to several other architects and planners) being well above what is normally produced. I swear this attention to detail is what allowed our plans to get through to permitting in so few hearings.”

“CJ Paone was hired by Amir Moghadam to complete the exterior detailing for his personal residence in Calabasas. The 16,000 sq ft residence exterior was clad is custom limestone from Italy that required perfect programing for communication and development of all orders processed by the Italian manufacture. Design details, job tickets, estimations, were handled with outstanding professionalism. The job developed into further landscape design and specification as noted in the attached image. CJ is an architect that comes to the table with solutions, a positive attitude, and the ability to meet those critical deadlines. An asset to any project!”

“Our firm collaborated with NMA Architects on a large scale project for over 7 years. In every aspect, they exceeded our expectations, and were in our opinion, ideal creative partners for this project. We look forward to the opportunity to work together again soon.”

“Mike Faulconer was referred to us by a local Ventura County Engineering firm. He immediately responds to your inquires. He is knowledgeable and creative. I highly recommend him.”

“Dennis Thompson worked closely with us to design a new home on our land, after our house was destroyed by a wildfire. He was sensitive and cognizant of the emotional factors going into the design process, given our circumstances. Dennis took us through the entire process, from design concept through City approval, from choosing a contractor through managing on-site building issues. Ultimately, we ended up with a beautiful, energy efficient home.”

“Mr. Gradin helped us design two additions to our home. Both seamlessly integrate with the original design, but I was impressed with his creativity in seeing new ways to utilize space in an elegant and tasteful manner. He brought up important considerations and implications to our original self-designed plans that made it apparent that his expertise was saving us thousands of dollars and much wasted time (!). As well as being a creative designer sensitive to the project's location and specific needs, Mr. Gradin seems very knowledgeable about environmentally friendly materials, and I appreciate that he recommended products I didn't know about that were better for our world. In short, I'd highly recommend Mr. Gradin to anyone who wishes to have his considerable talent focused on developing abstract architectural ideas into an elegant and practical building.”

“The process of designing and building a home on the west coast while we lived on the east coast would have been a challenge. Tom made it easy and fun. He was available whenever we needed him throughout the design and build process. Best of all, Tom is now one of our good friends.”

“We worked with Adam Sharkey from Blackbird Associates on our award-winning Alma Rosa wine tasting room remodel. Adam was a true team player for the duration of the project, collaborating with both Allen Construction and our client on investigating and developing innovative design strategies to transform the client’s vision for the space into a reality. As builders, we appreciate architectural plans with very specific, detailed construction documents. We could always count on Adam to deliver. We would recommend Adam and the Blackbird team to homeowners and business owners alike.”

“I had never worked with Holroyd Design Studio before. I had chosen to work with them based on the styles that they had done in the past. The design for our guest house came out better than I had expected and I will definitely work with Sam again in the future.”
