“Eugene Sakai stood out far above the pack of the 5 Architectural firms that we investigated to do our total house construction. He was simply the best to deal with, very professional, on time, and took a personal interest in the project, and within budget. We moved in 2 years ago and still love him and the contractor, C.W. Wright in San Carlos. We are pleased to show the house through Eugene Sakai at any time.”

“Consistently refreshing creative architectural designs. William is a unique architect that understands deeply how to create highly functional buildings that are both efficient and gorgeous. Great work and extremely professional. Highly recommend.”

“Rich helped design and build two bathrooms and a walk in closet for our home. He came up with creative options to utilize existing space and keep the remodel elegant but affordable. He has a great eye for recommending the latest styles and colors, which without his help would have been overwhelming. We have also had the pleasure of seeing some of his custom built homes which are absolutely stunning!”

“Carolyn was instrumental with our entire house remodel. She helped execute a floor plan and was our number one source for all detail design work that was done in the house. She has a great eye, superb knowledge of architectural details, a true commitment to keeping the look of the home consistent with the age of the home and expertise in tile, fireplace, railing, paint colors and lighting. This is a very short list of her skills. She is easy to work with. Her communication skills are commendable. She made us feel as if we were her only client when we were not. She is flexible, available for consults and fast to return drawings. We loved working with her and thank her dearly for making our home beautiful. She made a really long project seem bearable. She works hard, listens well and cares about all aspects of the project from small to large. We would highly recommend her to all our friends and to those we don't know- like you!”

“We wanted something much more special and different than what we had seen done before locally. David and Marina were the perfect duo to do exactly that. Our home feels like it is special to us. FAME wasn’t the first architect and design firm we worked with for our project. There were other designers that were plenty talented but didn’t have the vision that they brought. Our experiences with other designers were always a bit underwhelming because they didn’t really try to get to know us before designing something they thought would suit us. David and Marina began our project by asking thoughtful questions about how we currently live, how we would like to live, and the big desires we had for our new family home. With them, it felt they were fully invested in our happiness beyond just designing something “nice”. We knew what kind of aesthetic we liked, but couldn’t articulate exactly why we liked it. FAME took our inspiration and improved on it, making it way better than we could have imagined. We are so impressed with their smart and thoughtful designs. David and Marina are so unique as a team and individually, and it really shows in their craft. Our finished home is better than we could have ever envisioned. We are very grateful and happy clients, and anyone else lucky enough to have the opportunity to hire them will feel the same.” We were always eager to see what innovative ideas they had coming our way and it was a joy to discuss design possibilities with them. The duality of their styles always came through in the multiple designs options they provided us. It was always an exciting time for us to see what they came up with. They never pushed ideas on us and were very good at understanding our thoughts and deciphering our wants and needs. There were always a lot of smiles and “Oooh’ing “and “Aah’ing” on design discussions days. We always looked forward to design discussion days because FAME never disappointed. The thing that surprised us the most in working with them was how stress-free we were as clients. We felt safe, understood, and confident that we were going to get a fantastic product with them leading the way. During construction, there are always a million decisions that need to be made and we were always confident in the ones we were making because we always felt like a team. We were always informed every step of the way in the design process and beyond. As issues would inevitably come up, we never felt lost or confused because FAME would always have either the issues solved already or a solid well thought out plan B or even plan C. Even at the most frustrating times during our build, we would still describe the process as stress-free because they were always with us 100% and carried us all the way through to the finish line. FAME was a dream team to work with and honestly I look forward to the day we can do another project together.”

“I just completed a complete remodel of my San Francisco Edwardian flat and build out my basement. Joanne and her staff did a fantastic job. It started out as a kitchen bath remodel, but once the design process started expanded to include every room as we discussed how different spaces would be used and what I didn't like about the current space after living with it for 20yrs. Might as well do it right! Joanne's attention to detail, listening, and high ethical standards are unmatched. She would listen in the meetings and ask questions then come back with some ideas and sketches to get my reaction. She knew what I wanted without me even knowing it. She was also sensitive to the project budget which was important. I was able to complete the project within my budget. She was also key to working with the general contractor. She brought with her experience in projects of my scope / scale and working with different contractors and even her own remodel. This helped immensely. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Koch Architects again.”

“Jennifer has a great design sense. She renders accurate and buildable designs. On a Palo Alto home remodel, she included many "Green Building" components: radiant floor heating, solar panels, bamboo flooring, and non-VOC paint. The project exceeded the Palo Alto Green requirements. It is always a pleasure working with Jennifer and her clients. - Bill Fry, Wm. H.

“Savina is a very talented designer and visionary architect. She has great design sensibilities and clever problem solving ideas. It is a pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend her as an architect.”

“Mahya is very flexible to work with and is quick with responses. She has a good team to support her and has been helpful with our multiple projects. I highly recommend her and she deserves nothing less than 5 stars.”

“Urban Chalet has always been a pleasure to work with over the years. Their knowledge and implementation throughout the entire design/build process is extremely efficient and streamlined. Their work is second to none and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to remodel their home, build a new home, or just freshen up their interior/exterior spaces. Their entire team is extremely pleasant to work with!”
