ZEITGEIST SONOMA REVIEWS
I am way past due in sharing this review, but I think it has helped that we've had a year to live in our renovated home. When we initially met with Jessica and Efrain, we knew we wanted to open up our living spaces more, but once we started thinking about taking out walls, we just didn't know where to go from there to keep it a well planned space that feels cozy and inviting. Efraim and Jessica listened to our goals and came back with a reconfigured floor plan for our main living areas that open up the main living areas but also provided a Bonus room that has given me a beautiful home office and a ton of cubby/storage space for the detritus of our busy family. Since I work from home it's a bonus that I can close that room off when I need the separation. Their level of attention to detail, and skill and experience in planning living spaces is priceless. There are so many little details that contribute to the livability of our home. From the beautiful under cabinet lighting, to a coffee station that hides away the clutter. Our home is gorgeous, cohesive, cozy and livable. It's a pleasure to work in a kitchen that is completely functional, with drawers and cabinetry smartly planned to maximize functionality and organization. I would not hesitate to work with this team again, or to refer them to friends and family.
Zeitgeist was a great fit for our project. The team came up with some really creative solutions for our remodel, specifically, a new layout for an awkward master bath, a hidden pantry captured from free space and a beautiful coffee bar. They have organized flow in place that kept us moving on our project and keep us on top of what was next. For those that aren't interested in every detail of design, Zeitgeist could take the lead and deliver a beautiful finished home. With our project, we, the homeowners, had a very strong design aesthetic and preferred to get into the details. The team respected that and complimented our vision with their experience, advice and direction. Jessica also had great references for local lighting, tile and cabinet makers that helped bring our vision to life. We are so pleased with our remodel and finished dream home.
Called to get some design ideas and Jessica was very helpful. The project didn't go forward (my fault, not theirs) but if it had went forward, it would have been with them.

JAMES MCCALLIGAN ARCHITECT REVIEWS
Jim is amazing! It’s been an absolute delight working with him and everyone at JMA. We bought a lovely vineyard in a great area, but the house on the property was terrible. I’m an interior designer trained in space planning and can usually figure out tricky homes but this one had me stumped. I reached out to Jim because everything in this house was challenging. He completely reinvented the floorplan and turned a dark confusing house into a light filled home. The house is on a hill overlooking the vineyard, but very few rooms could even see the amazing view. Jim removed walls, added 30 feet of glass sliding doors and moved the kitchen to the south side, instead of the north side of the house. This brought sunlight throughout the whole first floor and created panoramic views. He figured out how to raise the 8’ ceiling in some spots, which completely opened up some important areas. His creativity and vision are truly exceptional. We have always thought that anyone living in Northern California should take advantage of the great weather and, if possible, create an outdoor living area. Jim designed the most amazing deck for us. Actually, there are several decks so that we can be outside and be comfortable at any time of year. Jim is also one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. He has been very accessible and easy to work with and generous with his time. We feel very fortunate to have worked with Jim McCalligan and can’t recommend him highly enough.
We engaged Jim and his team to design a home and barn in Healdsburg, California. Jim’s expertise, experience and creativity were invaluable. The process was truly collaborative as Jim listened to our thoughts regarding design elements that were important to us. Jim took our input and designed a modern farmhouse and barn with amazing spaces, flow and creative architectural details. His easy going approach and genuine concern for the project and us made the process thoroughly enjoyable. He was mindful of our budget throughout and incorporated this into the final design without sacrificing quality or aesthetics. In addition to design, Jim helped guide us through the builder selection process, made recommendations and facilitated builder meetings. During the construction phase, Jim was always available and responsive as questions arose. He made regular visits to the site to ensure quality workmanship and assist the builder in implementing his vision. The end result is a home beyond our wildest dreams. We highly recommend Jim and his team! Best house ever…
After the devastation of losing our home in the Tubs Firestorm of 2017 we were just able to conduct everyday life and navigate through the insurance maze. Jim had built the home we lost and contacted us to start thinking about putting architectural plans together. His encouragement was exactly what we needed to move forward. This will be the third time he and his staff has designed a home for us. We are always fascinated to ‘watch’ his brain design and develop plans. His understanding of space and structure from all angles; inside, outside, and around is amazing! Jim and his staff prepared our drawings as promised and were timely in response to our questions. The plans are of high quality and complete allowing them to be quickly processed through our building department. He is gifted in his craft and equally enjoyable to work with.

ASQUARED STUDIOS REVIEWS
Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value I consider Jessie Whitesides- Architect, of A2 Studios to be one of the most talented architects I have ever worked with. Choosing to build your home is a daunting task; Jessie understood our vision, understood all aspects of the building and permitting process, and was our advocate throughout the entire process from design to occupancy. I found Jessie to be solution oriented, a team player, responsive to both us and the general contractor, to mention a few things that made our project successful. Jessie was always willing to go the extra step and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any project, big or small!
Jessie designed our second, detached unit on our property and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The unit posed its unique challenges with how it was able to be designed and she worked through it in such a creative manner. The design was sound, aesthetically pleasing and of course, up to code. Jessie is a dream to work with as she is so professional, knowledgeable and she listens. She was transparent with us along every step of the way, communicating all aspects of the job. We will absolutely be using her again for any other architectural needs and highly recommend her.
My husband and I hired Jessie with Asquared Studios to do a full remodel of our house in Kenwood, CA. We described our vision and dream house to her and she came up with a beautiful and functional design. It incorporated all of the specific requests we had made, yet kept us within our budget. It is a leap of faith to go from a design on paper to the real thing, but I trusted Jessie. And the final product was excellent! I appreciated design ideas she made like taller door frames to give the house a larger look, and where to place windows for better light. We have been living in our remodeled house for close to five years now, and there is nothing I would change. I would highly recommend Jessie and Asquared Studios. Thank you Jessie for creating a perfect house for us.
