Typical client comments (names available on contact): "My wife and I recently completed a large residential design with Helm & Melacini. The structural issues were complex since we insisted upon using a fireproof shotcrete wall system. The local bureaucracy and code officials were difficult. The site was large and the house could have been placed in a dozen locations. Now that we have completed the site work it is perfectly obvious that John and Luisa chose the perfect location. Their ability to visualize in three dimensions is incredible to me; they take our vague ideas and make them both real and far better. I am continually impressed by their amazing ability to extract from us exactly what we wanted: it is as if they know more than we do about what we actually want. This is the second house that I have had designed by architects -and I thoroughly recommend John and Luisa. Guy Moppel, Ramona, Ca." Dear John & Louisa: Your guys do immaculate work! You have pretty much captured the "feeling" of the project. Excellent!. We will think it over and I will "fax" any changes we think would be good. I will probably show the driveway lengthened a bit with the walkway to the main house. The caseta would have its own separate walkway to give it more privacy. I will respond in one day with any changes. Lets get this on the road to reality! Thanks for seeing what we want. Phil Deane, Fallbrook, Ca.
