Randy is an extremely talented, creative and multi faceted Architect. He is definitely a leader and also is a great team player with Interior Designer Client and Builder. He is old school in a sense that he can sketch a concept or new idea is seconds rather than schedule the next meeting and hand the new idea to the CAD department. He keeps the creative process moving! We have worked together several time. We Have hired him several times-including our Studio at International Market Square and my personal penthouse.

Despite the fact that Randy Buffie has “award-winning” in his title, he is incredibly easy to work with. His years of experience and professionalism leave homeowners extremely satisfied with the process and result of working with his firm. We are honored to not only call him a colleague, but consider him a friend.

Every step of the process was a pleasure. He is a good listener and he took my collection of ideas home, poured over them and created my vision even improved. Project dates are clear and photos of my new kitchen will be happily shared on completion.

Randy does great work and is easy and pleasant to deal with. This review is for a substantial remodeling of the second floor of our house, although the project also included a light update of our kitchen and a guest bathroom. We loved the results, and the design and materials continue to work well and impress almost 15 years after its completion. One of the things I really like about working with Randy is that he is more than an architect. Beyond incorporating wants and needs into the "hardware" of your project, Randy can also function as a designer. He has a great eye for styles, materials and colors. We are currently working with Randy on an even more substantial project that addresses the exterior and ground floor of our house. Highly recommended!

Randy is the most creative architect we have ever worked with. He's easy to work with, conscientious, and detail oriented. After remodeling our main home with Randy, we built an addition and remodeled our vacation home on the coast. We had a good architect there, but we needed more creativity- so we called Randy again. He took the project from a B+ to an A.

My husband and I undertook a basement renovation project, which we had gotten multiple bids on, and each was exorbitant due to a structural problem, which threatened to put the project out of reach. Randy was recommended by our contractor, and he transformed the project with a brilliant solution that cut the budget to less than half of the lowest bid we had gotten. He's a fantastic designer, and we wound up with a great-looking basement that has added significantly to the value and functionality of our house. In addition, he is a joy to work with, personable and professional, and versatile in various design styles, for example, blending modernism with Victorian, Craftsmen, etc., while taking into account his client's personal tastes. We have used Randy's services a number of times since then, including consulting on color and light (there is no one better), and we plan to work with him again. I could go on and on (and perhaps I have), but in a nutshell, I've known many designers, both here and in CA, and he's simply the best.

This was our second attempt to improve the utility and comfort of our main living area. Randy did the complete job of design, and worked closely with my wife, me, and our contractor. Randy traveled with us to the vendor's sites and assisted in our selection of paint color plus granite and tile patterns. Unbeknown to us, Randy observed and remembered our lifestyles, and came up with great ideas that met preferences we didn't know we had. Besides all of this, Randy is a delight to work with, and continues to be our good friend.

We have used Randy's talent and abilities on own home remodel and also our business build out. We remodeled our home in 2002 and I am amazed at the number of times I see the "latest trends" appearing in print that he offered to us in 2002. Our business site is appealing to all who enter and the design elements are thoughtfully creative as is his use of color and texture. He is very involved in all aspects of the build and design, which makes the process very streamlined.
