Studio G+S Architects

I worked with Sunny at Studio G+S on a project that would have sent almost any other architect running. I know, because I am an architect. He worked through a garage replacement that became a garage demolition and related work over an interminably long period of time with a client (me) who was on the other side of the country. He kept his humor and cool through endless ambiguity and conflicting decisions from the permitting agencies. Did I mention that the property straddles Berkeley and Oakland which presents a unique twist in managing the permitting process? Sunny and his team are knowledgeable, efficient, thoughtful, attentive, responsive, thorough and skillful. These characteristics are what was needed and the project was well executed and has improved my 4-unit building immeasurably. Highest recommendation!

Sunny and Ed are phonemail team! I have had to pleasure to work with them twice and they continue to impress. Studio G+S created a thoughtful design that was also considerate of our goals. The end result was an amazing translation from our dreams to reality. During the course of the project, when something came up they were there with practical, yet elegant solutions to quickly allow us to keep moving. I would highly recommend working with Studio G+S.

My husband and I acquired a house needing lots of TLC almost by accident. We were first time "flippers" and needed guidance in developing this property so that it would be an enhancement to our neighborhood AND make us some profit. Ed and Sunny at Studio G & S were outstanding in helping us navigate this very complex remodeling project. They worked with us to determine a reasonable budget & let us know any time that there would be additional costs. When there were "surprises" along the way, we were informed, alternatives were proposed and we worked out a plan that we all agreed with. The project took a solid 18 months to complete and involved completely redoing the foundation of the house, adding a second level under the existing living space and completing transforming the previously dark and dingy rooms to a bright, spacious open concept great room. When the house went on the market, it was featured in the Sunday San Francisco Chronicle real estate magazine, we had hundreds of potential buyers through the open houses. It sold for over list price and we did make our profit. We were very pleased with the final result and would recommend Studio G & S to others.
