3 Best Residential Architects in Hayward, CA

DAHLIN Architecture Planning Interiors did a good job. Highly recommended to others.

We worked with Lori at LSH Architects on a new-build project, replacing an existing house with a custom home designed from the ground up. Lori was incredibly thoughtful in how she approached the floor plan, making smart use of space and natural light throughout the interior. For the exterior, we especially appreciated her attention to roof height and lines—an important consideration as our home sits downhill from the street. The result feels well-integrated with the site and interesting to look at. Working with Lori was a pleasure. She’s collaborative, receptive to feedback, and consistently prompt in her communication. As another reviewer noted, her designs have a tasteful, elegant quality that we truly appreciate every day. Building a home is a very personal experience with many ups and downs, and we’re truly grateful that we had Lori by our side. Her assuredness in the process, professionalism, and thoughtful guidance made the entire process genuinely special.

Lori at LSH Architects worked with me for a major remodel and addition to my home. She was amazing to work with as she is knowledgeable about all the details that needed to be addressed to complete the remodel plans. She was also available every time I had any questions. In addition, she gave great suggestions on things that I hadn't really considered, but were necessary to complete my plans and project. She continued to guide me right up to project completion, and everyone who has seen the completed home has commented on how great the design looks. I would highly recommend Lori if you're looking for an outstanding architect on your project. She is by far the best architect I've worked with over the years. And she has a great eye for what works well together, and what doesn't. She's the Best.

LSH architects was amazing from design, drawing, approval, to build support of our home project. She had the vision that allowed us to go beyond our initial limitations and carried out the modern design tastefully and elegantly while preserving the character of our house that made our house fit into local environment and upgrades the look of our neighborhood. We got so many compliments from passerby and visitors. This is without them seeing the inside layout that drastically improved the functional living space that is so crucial during the pandemic. We enjoy our house every day and could not be happier with work by Lori and her team.
