Testimonials

"Put simply, Kevin is fantastic to work with. He sat down with us numerous times to come up with the best design and use of our smaller space, taking in our ideas while providing his own innovative and creative style. We were able to implement a combination of a couple of designs from the 6 or 7 proposals he presented us--which was more than what we asked for. The final product is a wonderful space that is a reflection not only of Kevin's clean design, but also of our personal taste. We couldn't be any more pleased with our home, and with all of the complements we have received from people who have come to visit."

"I have worked with Kevin over the past year, and he has definitely exceeded my expectations. My wife and I decided that we would explore remodeling the downstairs of our elevated ranch style home. Kevin provided us with an initial free consultation and even came out to the property site on several occassions. When we couldn't make up our mind, Kevin didn't pressure us in any way but kept in contact with us on a periodic basis to answer any questions we have. Once we decided to move forward with the project, Kevin provided us with a reasonable estimate and rate per hour. He definitely has a great eye for design and was able to provide us with some options for our remodel after listening to our needs. He has been very responsive to our requests and has assisted us through the planning and building process. The inspector that came out from the city remarked to me what a great job that he had done on our plans. We are over half way through our build process, and Kevin still continues to check-in with us and has even visited the site to talk with the builder on some critical issues. I am an IT consultant and so I am familiar with the contracting and billing process with customers -- Kevin has always been honest in the hours charged and has come in under his estimates for the work, even with a few small changes in scope that we made along the way. As always, design preference is very subjective, but I can say that Kevin is an attentive listener and has impressed us with his design based on the inputs that we provided to him. We would definitely recommend him for both architecture and design projects to our friends and family.

"We were trying very diligently to locate an architect that shared our vision in contemporary design, one that wasn't apprehensive about streching boundaries within the context of working with city and state regulations. That was Kevin. He understood very well what our city would accept (Palo Alto, which is among the most difficult to obtain approvals) which was extremely helpful to us. He was also able to form aharmonious and productive relationship with our contractor."

"KMAD provided design services for the revision of existing plans for a 4 storey 2 unit addition with roof deck. The design was inspired and included a super thorough code analysis in a challenging 4 unit condo situation. Kevin's services were quick and efficient and resulted in an top notch design. "
