Green Building Professionals in Honolulu County.

“We hired Envision Design Build to help us design our kitchen remodel in conjunction with a large sliding glass door. We knew we wanted to open up the kitchen, add an island and create an indoor/outdoor feel and accessibility to the backyard patio. Envision took the time to create a plan that not only worked well within the space, but also worked best for our family. The project came out better than we could have imagined! Many thanks Gazelle & Parker!”

They are professional, friendly, responsive to our needs as well as giving us superb ideas for the creation of our new home. They worked as a positive team, that really got along on all levels. Their working environment made us feel comfortable and welcome. We highly recommend them for any new clients/projects.”

He is the only architect in Honolulu who will fully collaborate with clients and not impose his artistic views as is the case with many other local architects. He is also highly intelligent and can solve many problems of design and construction that other architects have problems with.”

“Archipelago did an outstanding job designing our home. From the beginning of the planning, they were on top of things every step of the way. Their dedication, attention to detail and follow through far exceeded our expectations. They were worth every dime. I most strongly recommend their work. ”

“Fujuita+Netski are a powerful punch for architecture and design. We hired them to work on our 1946 Manoa Hawaiian home. They kept the essense of it's style but transported it smoothly into 2012. The team are well trained professionals that team up with a contractor, H1 construction. Together they worked seemlessly to meet you to make your dreams come true. All along they way they showed us what our kitchen would look like with power point presentations, laser models or watercolors. We did an entire kitchen remodel including demoing 2 walls and reframing rooms took approximately 2 months. Our goal was to keep a clean classic Hawaiian plantation feel of Manoa with modern clean lines. The final product looks like it has always been there. They incorperated several unique items like a moveable island, surfboard racks shaped like paddles and gave us a walk in pantry. The flooring is holding up great and we can cook with all our friends with lots of space. We added some modern bling with the dark countertops and kept shaker style cabinets that are so high quality they make hardly any noise when they shut. The back splash was made just for us too, its 3 large pieces of tempered glass painted the color of the ocean. perfect for 2 surfers. Fujita+Netski is not afraid to try new daring things (notice the octupus wallpaper) and can pull them off with style. Not only are they friendly and talented the product is exactly what you want at the end of the process. We saw the team at least 2-3 times a week . They are easily available via text message or email. You will be happy and cannot lose with their sense of design.”

“Victor "Dean" Sinco is an excellent architect and he has an excellent team of drafts-people at Entheos. He is both creative and practical. He comes up with ideas that look good but are also cost-effective. He knows how to make new construction match original construction. He is great at supervising the work and coming up with solutions on the spot for any problems. He has always responded to me in a timely way. He has done both large and small projects for me. For one large project, he designed a guest suite addition to my house that added a laundry, kitchen, and screened porch to an existing bedroom and bath. At the same time he designed a roof extension, a new laundry room plus a solar water heater room, and a complete renovation of two bathrooms, one of them handicap. A few years later, he turned a walk-in closet into a half-bath plus a smaller closet and turned garage storage into interior storage. Recently, he designed a fence, gate, and lanai for me. I will continue to use him for any future projects.”

“Green Sand Architecture + Sustainability is a unique blend, Matt Goyke, architect and his wife Rhonda, a professional sustainability advisor. Our goal was to find an architect that would be a team player and design an Off Grid beautiful home that was healthy for us and non toxic to the environment. Our property site had some very challenging design issues. Green Sand's professional attitude was wonderful and amplified when they created a stellar team of engineers and professionals work together to craft designs, and solve challenges. We continued to work closely with Green Sand Architecture + Sustainability while we were in the building phase. Their professional knowledge, experience, and positive attitude shone through until we moved into our award winning home. Pa Ka Makani Farm was awarded LEED Platinum in October 2014. In the end, after all was said and done, we now call Matt and Rhonda our friends.”

“Mark was great. He's fast, professional and responsive. He helped me stay on budget and keep focused on what I was trying to achieve with my project. When I saw my plans, they were better than I had imagined. If you want to get things done quickly, he's your guy.”
