Eugene has done a tremendous job for us. Both Eugene and Sean were great to work with, on time and did an amazing job for us. I got more than I dreamed of. Eugene was patient, kind, and understanding. He gave life to our dream house. I absolutely recommend him. (Besides he was the most reasonable about the cost structure and payments!)

Studio S2 maximized our remodel staying within our budget. They did fantastic and timely work. Mr. Sakai is very familiar with codes, permit processes, and contractors. Further, he and his colleagues are excellent listeners and scrutinize the smallest details. While it is my impression that every construction project will have snags, Studio S2 did nearly a flawless job keeping projected problems to a minimum!

Studio S Squared was absolutely fantastic. I interviewed 4 firms, Eugene & Catherine, seemed to be the only ones that "listened" to what we wanted. From day one, I felt like they had a true passion to work "with us" to build our home. We did a remodel in Willow Glen and wanted to retain the character of the neighborhood. They were all in and they enhanced our vision! They were true partners throughout the process. In fact, long after the architectural work was complete they stay involved and provide guidance to the very end. I have recommended SS2 to many of my friends, and would definitely call them again. And they a good people too!!

Outstanding! I worked with Eugene Sakai. What I liked: 1) He (throughout the job) took all the time needed and explained w/patience 2) He lays out a very clear 5 step process from initial conception to final completion. He spells out all the costs - no deviation 3) A great eye for space. Many of his suggestions where based on things he observed in our home (our style) 4) Follow through ... EXCELLENT. Did what he said, when he said 5) High quality 6) Flexible to our needs Although we struggled with our contractor (wrapping things up now), Eugene was there every step of the way for any/every need. Highly recommended!!

I was very impressed with the professionalism and level of preparedness of Eugene Sakai and Studio S Squared Architecture. Upon arrival for our first meeting, he had already done his homework on our parcel & house as well as researched local building codes and requirements. He also shared many useful materials on the architectural process, his portfolio and as an extensive web site. This kind of up front disclosure of information helped us to get comfortable with him very quickly and get our project finally kicked off after 2 years of just thinking about it. He also reassured us we could do a very nice remodel without increasing our budget.
