During the construction phase, he held our contractor to high standards. He took time to understand our goals and requests and we had fun collaborating with him. He's had a lot of experience working with high end homes, so his aesthetic is refined and he has a vast vocabulary of architectural materials, vendors and techniques. They embodied a range of lifestyles that pushed us to reflect on what kind of future we wanted for ourselves. Shawn's concepts were more ambitious, comfortable and space efficient than what we were originally envisioning. We got so much more than we could have imagined. So we hired Shawn to add a bathroom and bedroom to our house and and an ADU in the back. “When we were looking for referrals to architects, we were struck by how our friend who hired Shawn was really enjoying the process. So far, So good, But I will definitely update my thoughts throughout the process.” I am just so excited on the actual construction which I can not review about since we are not there yet.

My family got larger within the year with the birth of our 1 year old son and paying $1,650 for a leased home without utilities, car payments, insurances and daily expenses. Going through of course Houzz, HGTV, magazines, remodeling guides, internet, and local ads, Guy made us look no further.
