“I interviewed a number of architects and talked to a couple of references before selecting David Ferrin and Arketype Architects for my rather different project, that of building a two story home on top of an existing stone warehouse, providing three floors plus roof-deck in a tight urban setting. Before I selected him, I was impressed with his "can-do" attitude and examples of some of his thinking outside-the-box. The design work I saw was classy and much of it different. His use of materials tends towards the green but when price becomes an issue, he will demur or come up with an alternative. David is quietly spoken and his demeanor is thoughtful, low-key and confident. The project is still 12 months away from completion (I'm writing this in May 2015 ) so it isn't possible to give you final comment but to this point I have been VERY happy with his work. He is quick to effect changes and is very thorough with his plans, attention to detail (according to several other architects and planners) being well above what is normally produced. I swear this attention to detail is what allowed our plans to get through to permitting in so few hearings.”

“I have worked with Ulrick design on multiple projects. There knowledge and ideas on all aspects of the projects have made working with them easy. The turn around time on plans and changes to plans is amazing. It has been a pleasure working with them.”

“Skedio Studio’s team was very professional through out the whole process. They made sure we were satisfied with the plan and that the City approved everything.”

“I have worked with Brett on several projects over 25 years. I am a general contractor and have worked with a lot of designers and architects. Brett is one of the few architects that is easy to work with. He listens very well and provides solutions that meet the budget and the aesthetic at the same time. He understands construction which is very important. Many architects just like to draw pretty pictures and have no idea how they are put together. Brett is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience and is good at guiding clients through the design and construction process. He is one of the best.”

“Dennis Thompson worked closely with us to design a new home on our land, after our house was destroyed by a wildfire. He was sensitive and cognizant of the emotional factors going into the design process, given our circumstances. Dennis took us through the entire process, from design concept through City approval, from choosing a contractor through managing on-site building issues. Ultimately, we ended up with a beautiful, energy efficient home.”

“Kate Svensson is a creative visionary. She did a full remodel on my home. My husband and I could not have been happier with the results. She has created such a beautiful space for us to live and it has made me understand how living in such a special space can change the quality of your life and your moods. I am still noticing the small attention to detail. We will use her on every home we ever remodel we do in the future. Not only is she a creative talent but she also a total professional in every way. I can not recommend her and her team enough. I've worked with many architects in the Santa Barbara area and she is by far and away the best.”

“Kent was a great listener, followed through, and was available as the project progressed. Highly recommend him for his professional approach, attention to detail and anticipating our needs.”

“Murray Duncan has an amazing vision for our clients and really understands how to develop their ideas into a world class home.”

“Superb architect, understands a multitude of styles, works closely with clients to develop ideas that are not only practical, but aesthetically enhancing the livability of each project that she engages with.”

“I hired Chris Cottrell and Native Sun Designs to renovate my mid century home on Santa Barbara's Rivera. Our mission was to renovate and update a good portion of the interior common areas, kitchen thru living room, while paying homage to the unique architectural elements that were so prevalent in the modern home movement that was taking place in Southern California at the time of build. Chris was sensitive to the mission at hand and acting both as a team player and leader when necessary to drive the project forward, both on time and within budget. He inspired us to create, design and construct a project that left all our expectations met. My wife and I have been involved in numerous remodels during our journey and are familiar with all the pit falls that can occur. Thanks to Chris's stewardship non of these occurred. Chris uses a series of visual tools to walk you thru the spaces that you will eventually create thus saving you time, money and creating additional inspiration. Anytime I feel motivated to work on my current house or any future project the first professional I would call would be Chris Cottrell and Native Son Design.”
