“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.”

“Jimmy did an outstanding job with the design and architectural plans for my 12,000 sq ft home here in Hawaii. Although the project took much longer to get to the build stage (not at any fault Jimmy's), he stuck with his original quote and time frames for billing. We had many meetings together during the design and build phase and made all necessary changes to the plans along the process. And as a result our home won the AIA Peoples Choice Award and a Merit Award with the BIA. The fees i paid were reasonable and the end result was outstanding.”

“I had a great time with John at Lapis Design Partners. He worked with me from the very first meeting to the final walk through process of my house located at Kahala neighborhood in Honolulu. He spent a great deal of his time into this project since I was not in full time residence during the process. We communicate over email, phone conversation and fax very intensively. He and his partner, Susan as a professional long-time interior designer always respected my views and wishes toward this dream house. I enjoyed the relationship with John during the process and appreciated very much for his professionalism as an architect and his responsiveness to the job. The results came much more than my expectations. We received one of AIA Honolulu awards. Most importantly, my time during the process was enjoyable ! Highly recommended.”

“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.”

“Bill Benjamin is brilliant when working with clients. 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.”

“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.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Rocky Arnold for 15 years now, and most recently had the pleasure of working with his company to create a ADA-complaint house for my daughter who is in a wheelchair. Rocky was able to take plans provided by my builder, and work to adapt them to make a space that would allow my daughter the most freedom possible. His knowledge and experience was invaluable in making sure all spaces accommodated her needs now and as she grows. We have been in our house 4 years now, and to say our house was life changing for my daughter and my wife and I would be a understatement. My daughter has a level of independence we never thought possible, and Rocky’s designs were perfect. He was very patient throughout the design process and always had a way of taking our concerns and solving them in innovative ways. I’ve referred several of my closest friends to Rocky and Ohana design, and would recommend anyone who needs an architect do the same.”

“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.”
