Architects in Castaic, CA

“I want to give a huge thank you to Ori and the rest of the Via Vista team. Working on this project has been such a pleasant experience. Ori is both responsive and creative. Via Vista‘s work is unbelievably realistic and has a great turnaround time. I am beyond pleased with the outcome. Highly recommended!!”

“We met Dulcie through an introduction from the property owner for this project. From our first meeting we knew we were working with not only a superb design professional but someone that exhibits great professionalism amongst all the parties involved in any project, mainly the client, the contractor and the other consultants. We recommend her to anyone needing an architect! We look forward to working with her and her firm in the future.”

“I grew up with a father who is a master contractor. In my adult life, I have been involved in countless home renovations, so I've always thought architects are a waste of time & money. They always seem to be writing checks with the customers' money, and have no basis in reality or practicality: they seem so frivolous. Hubby and I bought a mid-century modern home that had been turned into a tuscan style by the previous owners. (can you imagine?) We needed help getting approval from the local city planning board who are a NIGHTMARE to deal with (average of 8-10 plan checks, most cities do 2-3!?) We hired Glen with EZPlans to help us. Glen handled acrimonious city officials, seeming design impossibilities (and even a few vastly different design ideas between hubby and I) with tact, professionalism, and good humor. Dealing with EZ Plans was a breeze. I am so impressed with their vision, their professionalism, and the very talented, creative (and practical) architects they hire. They are exceptional communicators, and are as intuitive as they are talented. EZ Plans turned a simple contractor grade design we could have come up with ourselves, to a design that respected the mid-century bones of our home, and brought it to the practical standards we needed the home to suit. The design they came up with easily increased the value of our renovation tenfold. the only direction they had from me was "I want to respect the home's bones with materials in their natural element, nothing frivolous, but we need the house to be super specialized for our dogs." (maybe that's a bit frivolous....) They took this and ran with it. Incidentally, they are AVID dog lovers (almost as nutty as hubby and I are, ) so they came up with such cool suggestions that will make our old dogs' lives (and our lives) easier. As someone who has scoffed at the need for an architect, (come on, my dad is a contractor!) I can assure anyone: the design of a talented architect is worlds apart from what a contractor, or even designer, could come up with. They take things to another level. Glen increased the value of the renovation by making the design in line with architectural design elements, not current trends that would be outdated quickly after installation. More importantly, they made changes to the home to fit OUR lifestyle and needs, instead of us changing our needs and lifestyles to accommodate the home. This is the difference: architects build homes, contractors build houses. Hubby and I are so pleased with our experience at EZPlans. They make incredible planning, design and architecture...easy. :)”

“They got back to me really quick with the work complete the first time. Excellant service, fair pricing, and phenominal quality of work.”

“I hired Willis Daniels and Willisland Design to complete the redesign, expansion, and remodeling of 5 houses for re-sale. The results were extraordinary. I believe that the homes sold for significantly more than market and more than other projects in the area due to Willis' excellent ability to collaborate and his incredible design sensibility. I have hired him on many additional projects and have seen his work for others. HIRE WILLIS! He is passionate about his success, yes, but he is also passionate about yours. Willis is a great human and great designer.”

“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.”

“Juan Felipe is one of the most amazing architects I have ever met... his designs are impeccable and he has such of a refine taste that literally blows anyone's mind!!!... My husband and I did a great remodeling job in our beautiful 1950's home located in Silver Lake CA in summer of 2006, and Juan Felipe was our arquictect/advisor/designer.... Thanks to him our place has its unique vibe!!!”

“We loved working with Bill and would highly recommend him to anyone! He was able to take our vision to the next level with his design expertise! We are truly happy with the beautiful addition to our home!”

“I am truly very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with mbb architect for my remodeling project of my home. This is the first out of many remodeling experiences that I have had where I felt my remodeling needs were understood, valued and heard. I am impressed by the artistic talent, the vision and creativity. I would strongly recommend this company based on their level of professionalism and passion for design. I was further impressed by the architects' ability to gather relevant information and ability to help me make decisions. The architect was highly involved throughout the project and very responsive to my calls and questions throughout. This remodeling project has been very positive and I attribute that to the dedication, hard work and professional work conducted by mbb.”

“Rob, is a great architect and even better person. The flow of the home turned out exactly right. He helped us make some changes along the way and solve some challenges that came up. Will definitely work with Rob again.”
