サンタバーバラの空間設計の専門家

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Our firm collaborated with NMA Architects on a large scale project for over 7 years. In every aspect, they exceeded our expectations, and were in our opinion, ideal creative partners for this project. We look forward to the opportunity to work together again soon.”

“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.”

“We worked with Adam Sharkey from Blackbird Associates on our award-winning Alma Rosa wine tasting room remodel. Adam was a true team player for the duration of the project, collaborating with both Allen Construction and our client on investigating and developing innovative design strategies to transform the client’s vision for the space into a reality. As builders, we appreciate architectural plans with very specific, detailed construction documents. We could always count on Adam to deliver. We would recommend Adam and the Blackbird team to homeowners and business owners alike.”

“Ellen has helped me on two projects and is about to start a third. She is creative, thorough and patient.”

“As senior citizens planning our first addition and remodel we needed an expert. After many interviews we selected Christopher -- he listened! He continued to listen, to hear what we wanted and needed throughout our year-long project, guiding us to choices that were better and more efficient. His exacting plans made the process go smoothly for the contractor and for the various subs. His presence was a delight, his expertise invaluable. He is a true professional with the highest design and coordination skills.”

“I have had the opportunity to work with Dylan Henderson on several projects. I respect Dylan's passion for creativity. He is engaged in the design process from start to finish. Dylan's communication skill's are excellent. I look forward to working with Salt Architecture on many more projects.”

“Definitely recommend Glenn. Had a great idea, where others did not and then helped execute the plan. Home looks completely different and we are very happy with results.”
