Architects in Palm Springs, CA

“Elliott Brainard is an exceptional Architect for Mountain Building specifically! He was an integral player in the design of our 4,300 sq ft. custom home in Mammoth Lakes, CA. He not only Listened to our wishes for building our Dream Home but was on top of and helped us thru the layout to maximize our Views. He explained all points of building in the mountains including "Snow Load, Earthquake codes, City codes, where to cut costs as needed - etc. He was always Available - complete with building a model to scale for our review. We would Highly Recommend him for anyone doing a New Build or Remodel !!!”

“We have used to Bob Yabarra on 3 projects that required as built drawings, and a two story house renovation. The products were professional, per our agreement, on time, and for a fare price. He is fare and though we made changes there was never an extra charge to us.”

“Ben Aguilar designed our RV building with living as a complete package. He did the entire project form "cradle to grave." The project, thanks to Ben, was a non-event for us.”

“I recently worked on a project for Wolfgang Pichler Design. As a 30 year veteran in the building industry (a GC now specializing in cabinetry) I was very impressed with Wolfgang's design. His aesthetic was very refreshing, intelligent and on point ! Wolfgang was a great communicator who also respects a fellow professional's input and opinion. A pleasure to work with, and I hope we can collaborate again ! Don Van Dijk Van Dijk Bros. Palm Springs CA”

“I engaged Steve in the summer of 2007 to draw up plans to completely re-built my living room/dining room. Design element included sloped ceilings, complete window replacement, new windows, new gas fireplace. The design was thoughtful and innovative. Steve listened to my ideas and enhanced them with his own resulting in a successful, synergistic plan. I hired Steve in 2003 to design a two story addition to my home. The plans included a landscaping, a new approach to my driveway and front door. The result is very handsome. Both project exceeded my expectations. And on both projects, Steve stepped in during construction to correct mistakes made by the builder and resolved issues with inspectors (in my favor). I would hire Steve again without question.”

“Worked with Everret smith on couple of projects for the last 2-3 years. Everett always creates very detailed and easy blueprints to work with, Everett will always do is best to solve any issue that arises during construction in a timely manner so that the construction won’t be on hold for to long and you back running! Thank you Everret and keep up the great work!”

“I have worked with Gary for almost 30 years on both small and large projects. We are very impressed with his design abilities, thorough construction documents and diligence in following up on details. We would highly recommend him.”

“I hired Jonathan to design my new 5000 Square Foot Home. His performance and professionalism were light years beyond excellent. He spent numerous hours with me going over every little detail on the plans. He not only completed the design plans but also coordinated with the plumbing, electrical, structural, and HVAC engineers for a complete design package. His association with the planning and building department also contributed to smooth going when having the plans approved by the City. I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone who wants a complete professionally designed plan that includes a personal touch.”

“It is always great to work with Dave Madden. His projects are always very professional and completed with the client's intent as the first priority. On top of everything, he always gets the jobs done quickly and makes the City submittals a breeze. Looking forward to many more projects alongside Dave and his Architectural firm.”

“Michael Norpell has been a fantastic person to work with. He came in to a situation with our house that had a nasty, and I mean NASTY pool in the back that had a funky 80's shape and not a lot of hope for it to look good. After surveying the property with me and looking at pictures I had pulled from many different places, he came back 2 days later with perfect drawings of a pool and the setting around it that blew me away. He "got me" in that he understood my vision but was able to take it so much further and better than I imagined. He sought out the subcontractors and supervised all of them throughout the production of the pool, making sure they all knew what the others were doing so that the timing went well. I now have a very envied pool that looks straight out of a high end resort, but at a very reasonable price. Michael also helped me indoors when I first moved in-he helped me figure out where to place a fairly extensive Folk Art collection, helped with new furniture decisions, new kitchen table, etc. His best piece is a fantastic rug he designed using FLOR-he brought a lot of pieces I had together to make a pretty good room into a WOW room. I can not say enough good things about the work that Michael Norpell does. He gets the highest score possible from both my husband and myself!!!”
