“My husband and I are remodeling both of our bathrooms, and want to open up our kitchen area so it works better with the layout of our house. Marcus has been working with us and he's been fantastic. Even though it is just a remodel, he's given us so many great ideas to tie the whole house together, as well as help us understand what is worth spending money on for the long run, and where we could save. He's making the process really fun and exciting, and I can't wait to live in a house that is finally well designed and perfectly us. Also, he lives is San Luis Obispo, CA and we live in Santa Cruz, which I thought might be a problem when it came down to meeting one on one, but he was very flexible and has been shooting up to meet with us multiple times bringing beautiful sketches of ideas, or examples of materials for us to look at. I hightly recommend him for big or small projects. He's truely a professional.”
Studio3 Design, Inc.
Custom Home Services in Carmel, CA
“I was introduced to Bess through a previous Designer I worked with who was retiring her business. She felt Bess would be a good fit for me and my job, and I knew from our first meeting she was right. Bess and her Studio 3 team came on the job when we completed the basic house conceptual plan. Her input and ideas only further enhanced the function of the floor plan. As well, her knowledge, expertise and practical approach has been so valuable especially as this is my first major house remodel. I have quickly found how easy it is to keep expanding the plan as well as the budget! She does a great job keeping me on track and realistic, which my husband appreciates! Bess has guided us through our Phase 1 of the crazy permit process for an in law quarters and is now assisting with our phase 2, the rest of the house., all the while setting expectations of how to work with the city. She is also great when working with your personal choice of contractors, although she provides her own top notch referrals. Her team is friendly and responsive.
We still have a ways to go, but she is willing to work with you on what services you need in regards to your budget, which I appreciate.
I've been in Real Estate for 13 years, and one thing I've learned is when you find great vendors, partner with them, keep using them and refer them! I've referred Studio 3 to two people / clients with different styles and both have been thrilled to work with her. I would highly recommend you give Studio 3 and Bess a call for your next large or smaller project!”
Tom Meaney Architect, AIA
Custom Home Services in Carmel, CA
“The process of designing and building a home on the west coast while we lived on the east coast would have been a challenge. Tom made it easy and fun. He was available whenever we needed him throughout the design and build process. Best of all, Tom is now one of our good friends.”
J. Kretschmer Architect: Art & Architecture
Custom Home Services in Carmel, CA
“Jennifer is an incredibly talented creative architect, but is unusually capable in the painful practical aspects of remodeling. She knows how to talk to contractors, deal with city permit processes, work with artistic kitchen designers, come up with creative solutions to seemingly impossible problems, and make sure you have what you need and want -- and things you didn't even know would be problems.
We interviewed many architects for a difficult, challenging remodel, and she was heads above the others. She helped us deal with the countless inevitable problems that come up in remodeling, worked closely with the contractor, and saw the project through to completion. I can't imagine ever working with another architect, she's exceptional in all aspects.”
Adam Jeselnick Architect
Custom Home Services in Carmel, CA
“Working with Adam on the remodel of our house was a very satisfying experience. Adam has a strong sense of design and he carefully listens to understand the clients’ perspective. He was able to balance design and functional considerations within our budget and achieve an overall aesthetic that compliments the entire house. Adam was available for questions and very supportive throughout the project. We would definitely choose to work with him again. Arthur and Loretta Traum”

We have had an ongoing relationship with Thayer Hopkins and his firm for quite a few years, and we will continue to utilize his craft and expertise on many projects in the future.”
Acadia-Architecture Davide Giannella
Custom Home Services in Carmel, CA
“We worked with Davide Giannella, who is an Italian and the principal, on a house expansion of over 800SF. The house was a ranch home. Davide designed an elevated roof with clerestory windows for the new family room, added two bedrooms and one bathroom, and re-designed the front and back yards so that we have a flagstone terrace with concrete benches and outdoor kitchen. I found him a good listener, with creative solutions, and effortlessly blends the client's requirement and taste with what is modern and classy. I also found that he is a master of light. He strategically positions skylights and clerestory windows so that our interior is bathed in light. He gives great style recommendations about interior, furniture placement, color and lighting. We can ask him about almost everything. He has a wholistic vision and the skills and taste to bring it to life. His plans are one of the most detailed many of our contractors have seen. We consider ourselves lucky to work with him and the money well spent.”

“Start to finish, Bill, Courtney and team were exceptional. They guided us through every step of the design and build process, made the experience smooth and enjoyable and made our dream come to life.

I would recommend them to anyone looking to build.”
