Featured Reviews for Sausalito, CA Architects and Building Designers

Gregory Dedona Architect
Sausalito, CA Architects and Building Designers
9 Jul 2013
“I'm the fortunate and proud owner of two custom homes designed by Greg Dedona. One is in Mill Valley, Marin County (1999, remodel) and the other is in McCloud, Siskiyou County (2013, tear-down & full new construction). Greg's mastery of design, materials and construction processes created two stunning, unique, buildable and affordable homes. His ability to creatively merge our family's goals, an evolving joint vision for the houses and the highly different administrative processes of these two sharply contrasting counties was something I believe very few (if any?) other architects could achieve. From the most rural contractor resources in Siskiyou to the most experienced and high-end pros in Marin, Greg demonstrated an ability to forge loose and disparate bands of craftsmen into a cohesive team. His leadership was respected by everyone involved - strikingly unusual in the often friction-plagued relationships one sees between contractor and architect. Perhaps most creatively, our McCloud home made great use of owner-procured (i.e., salvaged!) locally sourced, recycled materials - 100 yr old wood floors, replaned structural doug fir for interior trim, refurbished Wedgewood kitchen stoves etc.. In sharp contrast to architects who often scorn such an approach, Greg was invaluable in his advice on how to make these materials work. He helped us source many of them through his amazing array of contacts not just in Marin, but from Tahoe to the Oregon border. Highest possible rating...were there a lifetime achievement award for residential architecture in California, Greg Dedona has already earned it.”
Joseph Farrell Architecture

“Joe was exactly what we needed for our home remodel/addition project. We came in with lots of ideas but couldn't figure out how to pull it together and make it work. Joe was a great listener and quick to pick up on our style and needs, and in no time he was bringing solutions that we would never have come up with. In addition to being a real pro, Joe is very personable and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.”

“Jonna Alexander Green assisted me with a recent renovation. Working with her was easy and fun. Her design respected both my personal style and my budget, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her design services.”
Building Solutions
Sausalito, CA Architects and Building Designers
26 Jul 2013
“I very strongly recommend John at Building Solutions, not only as a design/builder, but a very knowledgeable consultant. First, he handled making a few improvements and repairing some damage in my 1890s house in San Francisco. The quality of the work was top-notch, and his crew even cleaned up and vacuumed every day before they left. Next, we asked him to help us assess houses we were looking to buy. He's an absolute expert at seeing hidden potential problems in a house that no one else would see. He steered us away from some houses that could have had serious issues, and we ended up buying a house that was very well maintained and totally approved by John. That was five and a half years ago, and we're still very pleased with our choice and very grateful to John for his invaluable advice. I can't imagine buying a house without his expert opinion.”
Geoffrey Butler Architecture & Planning
Sausalito, CA Architects and Building Designers
19 Jul 2013
“We hired Geoff and his team to help us create a master plan for the renovation of our 1950's Cape Cod in Corte Madera, Ca. We knew we would ultimately be renovating the whole whole - 4 existing bedrooms, 2 existing bathrooms, 1,700 SF - as well as adding a master suite and laundry room, but we needed to do it in phases. We completed phase one which included everything inside the house except the kitchen and master suite and Geoff was fabulous! He was creative, responsive, thoughtful and always professional. Our project moved along smoothly but as with any remodel there were changes and Geoff was flexible and efficient when it came time to work those changes into the plan. He worked well with our contractor and had good resources for sourcing materials. We were very happy to have found Geoff and look forward to finishing our project with him someday, hopefully soon.”

“David and his team did a great job listening to our needs and guiding us through the design process. He also helped us interview contractors and had great resources at every price point. I highly recommend him if you are looking for an architect in the Bay Area.”
Robert Stiles Architecture
Sausalito, CA Architects and Building Designers
24 Oct 2013
“We have worked with Rob for several years now on a few projects and he always does an amazing job. In addition to being an extremely talented architect, he is very easy to work with. We completely gutted our kitchen and Rob oversaw the entire project while we were away. I had assumed that we would need to hire a kitchen designer along with an architect, but Rob was able to design a beautiful and also incredibly functional kitchen. Having lived with our new kitchen for over 2 years now, there isn't a single thing I would change. He has a great aesthetic and was also extremely helpful in picking out hardware, lighting, and appliances. We have also had him work on the outside of our house and he is currently working on several bedrooms, bathrooms and an office. Rob is very efficient and detail oriented - his drawings are very thorough which always helps make the projects go smoothly.”
Urrutia Design
Sausalito, CA Architects and Building Designers
30 Nov 2016
“We worked with Urrutia Design on a complete home renovation. Jason and Martha listened to our ideas and translated them into their design aesthetic. Their cohesive design runs throughout the entire house and they incorporated our family's specific needs resulting in a more usable, beautiful space. We are thrilled with our new home!”
Wright Architecture
Sausalito, CA Architects and Building Designers
12 Aug 2018
“We lost our home in the Tubbs fire in October 2017. Heather has been such an incredible member of our re-build team. We would be lost without her. She has been such a wealth of knowledge, really dependable and a great team player. It's so nice to have such a strong resource on your side during an emotional rebuild. It's so critical for an architect to not only be knowledgeable about local building codes, but to also have a strong network of subs and referrals. We appreciate her work, partnership and friendship through this process. We can't recommend her highly enough.”
Goefft Design
Sausalito, CA Architects and Building Designers
9 Jan 2015
“Our house was originally built in the early 1920's and has lots of charm and detail. A couple of years ago Cindy helped us with two bathroom remodels, which turned out beautifully. She also drew up the plans and detailed the replacement of some living room windows including our picture window, which she changed from a flat boring window to a beautiful bow window. We recently took on our biggest remodel project with Cindy, our kitchen and master bed and bath. Cindy worked with us and our lifestyle to draw up all of the plans. In her design, she moved interior walls, vaulted the ceiling in the kitchen, added skylights for natural light and kept a wonderful flow in all the rooms. She did an excellent job with all of the features and specs. Cindy guided us on the finishes, updating the house, but keeping it in synch with all of its older appeal and detail. She gave our home the kitchen and master bed and bath it deserved. We love our bedroom retreat and spa like bathroom. Our kitchen is a room that is full of natural light and a place we hardly ever want to leave. Cindy is thorough and pays attention to details. She is lovely to work with and has helped us turn our home into an inviting, warm and beautiful place.”

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your Sausalito, CA home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Sausalito, CA general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers in Sausalito, CA:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with
  • your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring general contractors and renovation contractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
