Horwitz Architecture + Design

Dulcie worked with my wife and me to make various interior remodel improvements to our house when we purchased it. She helped us to design the kitchen and master bath along with other areas and helping us select various lighting fixtures to ultimately make it great! One of things that was extremely helpful was that she took pictures of various items online that we liked such as different lighting fixtures for our dining room and superimposed them in pictures in the room as it looked with our furniture and unique window panel. This way we could actually see how what we were interested in would look in the room setting. That made it much easier to select what would work knowing we'd like it once it was installed. One other great thing about Dulcie is she is also a fantastic person to work with a couple that may not necessarily always agree on things. That alone saved a lot of time and $ in therapy sessions! Last, Dulcie also just recently helped me to select various materials, design elements and make some final decisions with a rental house I was remodeling. That gave me a lot of piece of mind to get her opinion knowing it would make the end result successful. I assure if you work with her, you won't be sorry.

I worked with Dulce on a kitchen remodel. She took my vision and wish list and made it into a reality. From concept to final design ...it was seamless. She is very professional and such a pleasure to work with. She checks all the boxes. Could not have asked for a better experience. I absolutely love my kitchen!!

I found Horwitz A + D, and Dulcie Horwitz in particular, to be a true partner and advocate. As a designer, Dulcie is very observant and sensitive to the desires of the client and translates those desires into various design schemes. She just seemed to have a knack for interpreting my "style" and finding the right design for me, the site, and my surrounding neighborhood. She explained the concepts and issues with each scheme in easy-to-understand terms to help me choose a design pathway. Importantly, throughout the design development process, she continued to listen and readily adjust the design when needed. In my case, I was looking to complete a facade remodel on a challenging hillside site in Los Angeles. My home is 70 years old and though it was by far, not the biggest project she has undertaken, she gave it her full attention and I found her to be highly responsive throughout the process. She did not shy away from solving problems - sometimes offering elegant design and sometimes presenting more practical solutions. From a construction standpoint, Dulcie is also very adept at "getting a project through" the Building Department - even with the pandemic! And she has a network of builders and engineers and helps the client choose the right building partners. My project has required very little construction oversight but she has been very accessible to answer questions and guide construction details. As I write this we are about halfway through the project. Finally, on a personal note, she is warm and understanding when the stresses of tearing up your home become overwhelming - and she is helpful in mitigating any unneccesary stress. A wonderful and well-rounded architect.
