“The staff at Ohashi Design Studio helped me design my kitchen/living space. I wanted to open up our galley kitchen to be able to see our incredible view from the kitchen. They came up with a design I never imagined could work so well. Rather than just remove a wall, they moved the kitchen, changed it to a more functional shape and not only opened up the view, but made the living space feel like we were outside. I have been especially impressed with their level of service. They listened to my dreams and goals and turned it into a reality beyond what I'd hoped for. They were available anytime I needed guidance during construction and made sure the project was built down to the finest details. They helped me find a contractor and oversaw the bidding process. They helped pick out all the materials and finishes, even the paint color. I can't say enough about their level of expertise and professionalism. I worked with Dave and Alan.”

“We had an excellent experience working with everyone on this team! What professional work and attention to detail! As promised, project delivered on time! I couldnt recommend more!”

“Great company. We are really enjoying our work with Bob and his team. Our design is progressing steadily through BSA. No false starts, good meetings, great feedback and good ideas. Design is an iterative process, and Bob really gets it.”

“Katie Pashel has a quality that is becoming rarer among the noise of modern communication: she listens carefully and HEARS what the client is saying. We hired Katie to undertake the creation of much needed living spaces in our 100-year-old home after interviewing multiple architects. The other architects acted as if they were listening to our vision but then turned around and offered alternative visions that ignored our specific requests. While creative ideas are always welcome, it is important to feel that the architect, designer or contractor first respects the input of the client, especially if the client has very clear ideas of what is wanted. And what is not. Katie has an amazing capacity to be patient with our passion for details and is always gracious with her feedback on what may work within our home or what constraints we have to be aware of. Katie reviews feedback thoughtfully and makes revisions or suggestions based on our comments without letting ego get in the way. She has created designs that work with our desired budget and offers practical ideas to help meet the challenges of an old house. She also respects the architecture of the house in that she offers modern ideas without trying to remove or diminish the house's historic character. She created design concepts from our long wish list for a master bathroom and converted an enclosed 1930s porch we refer to as our 'Winchester Mystery Room', into a functional and well proportioned space. She faced every possible challenge: multiple uneven connections to the adjacent roof areas, height limitations, window restrictions, layout challenges due to the proposed bathroom being located above a kitchen and old house bones with uncertain structural issues. Despite all these headaches, Katie has always stayed positive and encouraging when we have felt frustrated or discouraged with the bumps-in-the-road. We look forward to continuing to work with Katie as she helps us to create a sanctuary that we can fully enjoy.”

“Several years ago, we hired Ellis Schoichett of EASA Architecture to draw up plans for a whole house remodel of our smaller, older home. Best decision ever! Twelve years later, and I still get a thrill walking through the front door. He turned our house into a home and the home he created for us, has given us years of pleasure. I recommend him highly.”

“Jennifer has a great design sense. She renders accurate and buildable designs. On a Palo Alto home remodel, she included many "Green Building" components: radiant floor heating, solar panels, bamboo flooring, and non-VOC paint. The project exceeded the Palo Alto Green requirements. It is always a pleasure working with Jennifer and her clients. - Bill Fry, Wm. H.

“Bahi and Mariela are truly a unique find and I thank my lucky stars everyday that we discovered them for our home remodel. We added about 1000 sq ft to our 1500 sq ft home, and took down all but the foundation and studs of the initial footprint. Not only did Bahi and Mariela fully integrate the new construction into a seamless floor plan, but every piece of it is so incredibly unique and stunning. They completely designed a new roof that creatively resolves the 8 foot plates from the initial walls to the 9 foot plates of the new construction, and you would never know it as all you see is a gorgeous elevation that is absolutely stunning. I am absolutely in love with the outside of the house. And then the inside...WOW! Our new common space is an open concept with beautiful architectural accents and high ceilings. We wanted open concept, but we also wanted each space to be defined in some way so they designed the most beautiful details in the ceilings above the spaces including vaulted, tray, and crown molding accented elements. The end result is that when people walk in, they often tell us it's one of the best homes they have ever seen. Several have told us it is their dream home and would love to build the same design somewhere. We owe that to Bahi and Mariela for working so diligently to add just the right touches that would make our home beautiful. I feel like I am living in a gem that nobody else could have dreamed up but them. And not only is our house extraordinary, but Bahi and Mariela were the nicest people to work with the whole project. I am so glad we hired them and now have a beautiful home to call ours for years to come. Thank you 360 design studio!!!!”

“When we met Rob Kelly, we were in a heap of trouble. We set out to do a very extensive remodel on our house, but hired a really bad architect, who we had to fire. Rob came by as a favor, just to give us a second opinion. We hired him on the spot to replace our prior guy. We liked him from the first time he set foot in our house, because he understood immediately what we love about our house and did his best throughout to maintain those charms. A year later, we are moved back into our house and I cannot possibly explain how important Rob was to the project. He helped us imagine the project, nail it down on the plans, delivered us into the arms of a great contractor (Ethan Allen) and stepped back in during construction when we needed design help or just hand-holding. He was always available, easy to work with, and understands that a remodel is more than just wood and nails -- it's about a home, and often involves large amounts of money. And that means that a great architect is able not only to give solid and creative advice about what to do, but is also able to nudge and poke and stand by your side as you go through the process. If you are thinking about construction, from big to small, I strongly recommend that you call Rob Kelly.”

“I highly recommend Rebecca Schnier Architecture. Rebecca has done several projects for us, including a 1000sf upper level addition, kitchen and bathroom remodels. The first project was in 2001 and the last one in 2012. She does beautiful design work that is very functional. She asks questions to be sure she understands her clients needs and taste. She offers design options and always has her clients best interests in mind. She is very creative and resourceful in her use of space. She is a pleasure to work with and delivers beautiful results.”
