"hired Mark Brand Architecture to design an extensive remodel for my house in San Francisco. Mark and his staff gave me a lot of help during the remodel, especially when it came to working around or through problems that the old structure of the house posed including working with the project engineers. When I had to temporarily stop the remodel due to health issues, Mark and his team stepped in to make sure the job was kept on schedule. I feel they went above and beyond the call of duty with this project."

"Tom was thorough in his approach, responsive to my concerns, and his work product is of high quality. The plans went through permit review with no revisions, to my great relief. He was also accommodating on price and went out of his way to stay on budget."

"Shilpa did an amazing job designing an addition to a home we bought. It included remodeling an extra framed garage into a master bedroom suite, laundry room and powder room plus adding to its size . The project also included doubling a great room to blend into the house with the new suite as well as opening up the kitchen to this great room and raising the ceiling . The design blends really well and will provide a nice open plan for living and entertaining I was impressed with how well Shilpa understood what we wanted and executed the plans in the time frame promised if not earlier. She also pushed it thru the planning dept. with minimal need for changes. The project is on going and is moving along well Shilpa is always available to answer questions as things progress. The contractor feels she is easy to work with as well. I really enjoyed working with Shilpa and easy her demeanor ."
