    Klacka Design
    Architects & Building Designers in Tierrasanta San Diego.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 May 2019
    “We are working on our third project with John. The first was a roof deck over a new accessory room which integrates so seamlessly with the rest of the house that it looks like it was part of the original house. The second was a gorgeous standalone building in the backyard which is a combination cottage, outside potting shed and chicken coop, all under one roof and designed to optimize the use of our natural breeze. Now he's working on an internal remodel that will include a new kitchen and convert an outdoor patio into an atrium with a loft. We can't praise John enough. His designs are innovative and reflect our tastes. And he's a joy to work with.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 August 2013
    “I strongly recommend Jeanne Liem. My company worked with her on designing and building-out residential projects. Jeanne has a terrific aesthetic and is really hard working. She took the time to truly understand what we wanted and made our vision a reality. From beginning until the end, she has been very professional, responsive, proactive, and being able to come up with multiple solutions to simple and complex problems we encountered during construction. Their design elements are so elegant and well matched with our concept that exceeded my expectations in many ways. Also, they did all those within the budget requirements. They were flexible in all the areas we worked. She made everything so easy and smooth. I do not even want to imagine what would happen if we have taken another route instead of working with her.”

    “As a custom home builder I can truly appreciate the mind for building design Daniel Hruby has and detail he puts into the plans. We’ve worked with him on several projects. One recent project had many challenges as It involved placing a real DC 3 airplane wing in the custom home! I was on the phone and FaceTiming Dan regularly during the process. Dan made up numerous 3d models to help us and the engineers conceal all the structural steel. Dan also provided the clients full 3d models of the build, down to the detail of how the seasonal sun will show through the windows at different times through out the day. Putting on the VR goggles and being able to virtually walk through the entire project prior to it being built, really helped us as a builder visualize what the end product was intended to look like. The clients thought it was really cool as well!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 December 2015
    “We worked with Kim to restore our 1920s Craftsman home in North Park. After interviewing several other architects, we knew with 100% certainty that Kim would be the perfect fit for our project. Not only did she come up with design and layout insights that we never would have thought of, she provided thoughtful, respectful and determined guidance throughout the project. She helped in every way possible... including the eventual Mills Act designation we received for the house. My husband and I are both very demanding, and high maintenance, clients, and Kim was able to keep us happy and content at all times. She's got an incredible relationships with contractors, builders and city officials. She's just the best... PERIOD. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!”
    Buffett Design
    Architects & Building Designers in Tierrasanta San Diego.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 April 2015
    “After meeting with a few different architects, we hired Buffett Design for our whole house remodel. Tyler is friendly, real, and was very understanding in regards to our constantly changing ideas. When it was difficult for us to visualize the space based on the 2D sketches, he created a 3D walkthrough experience on the computer for us. This was so helpful for us to "walk through" the new space before construction even started!”

    “I have been in the residential construction business for 35 years and recently started working with Gary Harcourt and Rick Kaufman. I find them both to be very creative and easy to work with. I am looking forward to future projects with them.”

    “John is an excellent architect. His design sense and follow through are beautiful and thoughtful. His followthrough is exceptional and thorough. We loved working with him.”
    BVM Design, Inc.
    Architects & Building Designers in Tierrasanta San Diego.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 August 2016
    “After finding him on Yelp with good reviews, we had BVM design a 655 sq. ft. residence that incorporated a pre existing building. He was responsive to emails and calls and gave us a surprising number of designs. He was able to give us exactly what we wanted, despite our ideas being communicated rather poorly over the many many interruptions of small children. It was not cheap, but I don't really know what others charge. Also, when our general contractor saw the plans he said "boy, this guy knows how to draw!!" Overall, he was really easy to work with, gave us exactly what we wanted, and impressed other professionals in his field. What more could you want??”

    “We found Nate thru out contractor. Our situation was we had a fire, which essentially was a full rebuild, full house. We knew that we wanted to add space to our house and this was the time to do it. So when we started working with Nate, the first step was really Nate learning about our wants, needs, and style. It was a very collaborative process, and one which felt intimate. You are trusting someone to learn about your family and build something which represents you, and very personal, our home. So thru the process, we all got to know one another. Nate not only designed a beautiful home for us, he was invested in seeing his design and our home come to completion. He is more than an architect, he cares about the whole thing, including the interior design and the landscape. So throughout process, it was great always having Nate yo bounce material ideas off of. He also was very clear in parts of the project on which parts of design were open for discussion and which weren't. That was helpful, because in any project, there come points where you likely have to value engineer. And we did...but he made sure that nothing that was essential was removed. Nate handled everything, conceptual design, construction drawings, working with engineering firms, submittal to city and managing comments and re-submittal, working with GC, and as noted, landscape concepts and interior design support. We love our house, our neighbors are in awe of our house. Nate had a vision much bigger than we would have ever thought of on our own...so while we felt our voice was in the design, he just enhanced it in ways we just wouldn't have thought of. And then having a great GC to deliver....we feel extremely grateful to have taken a horrible situation of losing our home and now having a custom built home. Overall, Nate is great...he will take your concept and not only make it come to life, He has big ideas, he has a strong point of view, and he cares about his clients. He is responsive, and I always felt like we were his most important client.”

They will help you determine what is possible in terms of your land and the budget you have, and then work with you to plan a home design that best caters to your lifestyle.

    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 Tierrasanta San Diego, 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 Tierrasanta San Diego, 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 Tierrasanta San Diego, CA:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?

  • 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.)
