Wendy Wilson created the plans for our art studio, a freestanding building in the back of our property. It had special requirements as it will be used by a glass artist whose work requires torches, kilns, and large tanks of oxygen and propane. Her design placed the oxygen and propane tanks outside the building, as we requested, with tubes from the tanks going to the inside of the studio via ports through the walls. It includes a bathroom with a utility sink. The building is about the size of a two-car garage. Besides the built-in utility features for the artist, it is also beautiful. Exposed beams run across an open ceiling and a line of high windows let in ambient light and provides a beautiful of the San Gabriel Mountains. It is everything we had hoped for and more. She took our ideas and created the plans to make them happen. She was also an excellent liaison with local planning officials and our progress through city requirements went off without a hitch. I highly recommend this architect. She has the knowledge, competence and vision to make your building dreams come true!
Description of Work: Wendy created the blueprints for a specialized glass art studio, a separate building from our house.

It took us a year to get the design worked out, the engineering completed, helped obtained a conditional use permit, and submitted the plans to the city. Wendy, would check with the city every time we came up with a new idea about what we wanted and if it was doable. She was with us the whole way. We put the bid out to 4 contractors. They were all impressed with her plans, saying that they were thorough, and made it easy for them to quote a bid. Our project is ongoing. We liked Wendy so much we are utilizing her services to coordinate the remodel/ rebuild with our contractor. We meet with Wendy and our contractor every week to go over any issues that arise. We will also use her as a designer on decorating the house. If we ever do another project (God forbid!) we would call Wendy!!
Description of Work: Wendy drew plans for our house's total remodel. We are now calling it a rebuild. She drew plans to change our 1800 square foot, 5 bedroom, 3 bath house into a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with a large great room. With the large great room, we felt the 8 foot ceiling would be to low, so her plans included raising the ceiling in that area. She also drew plans for our back yard patio cover and "yoga shack".

From the first encounter to the most recent (I won't say and quot;lastand quot; because we plan to use her more!), the experience has been very positive. She is very professional, did an excellent job listening to our goals and ideas, capturing them on paper and then showing us her suggested improvements. She is very attentive and flexible, often meeting us in the evenings. Our overall plan discussions ranged from minor cosmetics to adding a second story to interior furniture layouts. For the pool house project, she did an excellent job preparing the final plans. Case in point: The town plan checker said most plans take 2-3 revisions before being approved. Her plans were approved w/out any revisions! Her involvement waned as we took on the final permitting and GC oversight but has been quick to respond to questions about code compliance and details. We have future plans and will be using her services again.
Description of Work: Wendy helped us with two projects. The first was to develop an overall plan for the renovation options on our house & property. This included design themes, code research for required setbacks, maximum expansion dimensions & areas and several layout concepts for GC budgetary estimates. The scope included the main house and our garage w/workshop. The second project was the development of plans to convert the garage workshop into a pool / guest house. She prepared plans for GC bidding and permit submission & approval.

I called Wendy and she responded the same day and we arranged to meet at the property. We needed plans, help obtaining permits and advice on engineering/construction for a property that was technically a remodel but was extremely distressed. Wendy met with us and was very professional and listened to all our concerns and gave us great advice. Her quote was very reasonable but in the end we decided that we needed a licensed engineer for this project. We would hire Wendy to work on future projects if we have a chance, we really liked her professionalism, honesty, design sense and felt her estimate was inline with our budget. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to remodel or design their home.
Description of Work: We contacted Wendy to help us with an extensive remodel/rebuilding of a home we purchased. We needed plans, help obtaining permits and construction/engineering management.

Wendy listened to our ideas and reasons for building the structure and gave much care to how the building would look and function. She was astute in her understanding of the aesthetics of design and the realities of building within the guidelines of planning review within the city of Glendale.
Description of Work: Wendy designed a one story 500 square foot studio to be built on hillside on our property. She submitted the plans to Glendale planning and followed through with revisions until the project was accepted.

She was a very lovely lady. She was very professional. Her price wasn't as good as a competitor's price. Had it not been for the price, we probably would've went with her, because she was very with it. We knew how qualified she was. She was a very, very nice lady. She was very hip and with it. I was pleased with her.
Description of Work: She came out to give a quote on an architectural design.

Based on my excellent experience using Wendy to design and oversee my major home remodel a few years ago, I plan to use her services again when I do new hardscape for my back yard. She is a LEED certified professional and current on environmental considerations. I'm not yet ready to undertake this new project, so our discussion was preliminary. One thing she talked to me about that I'll be doing right away is replacing my downspouts with rain chains where possible, and harvesting rainwater for use in gardening. I'm looking forward to doing this project using Wendy's design expertise.
Description of Work: Wendy and I discussed design features and issues for hardscape construction in my back yard. I'm interested in design that is environmentally friendly. This means no large concrete areas that don't allow rain to penetrate the soil, for example, and use of recycled materials to the extent possible. Wendy is thoroughly professional and a pleasure to work with.

Wendy is a great pleasure to work with. She listened to my ideas, added her design expertise, and developed the plans for demolition, a room addition, and extensive remodeling of existing spaces. She assisted me in the oversight of all phases of the construction. Her detailed plans were praised by every contractor I interviewed. Now, for the first time, I really love my home, thanks to her work on the design.
Description of Work: Wendy designed the addition and remodel for my home. She took my general ideas, added her design suggestions, and made detailed architectural plans for the project. She handled everything from concept, through drawings, through pulling the permits.
