"I love this design. This is amazing. How did you do it? I love walking into the kitchen aligned with the window. You figured out how to fit a big pantry in. I love the desk area and the fireplace... the mud room is such a good idea. The landscape designer loves where you have the BBQ area and bar wrapped around the tree...
The closet looks amazing. You are the best gift. This is so great. Wow, this is amazing. I love it so much. When can we start?!"

I know Keith thanked you for all your help but I wanted to also say thanks!!

We are breathing easier today because of all you and Purcell did to make our deadline. With everything we have been tackling since the fire this was a huge hurdle crossed and a unique moment of relief for us. So thank you!

K & C, Malibu Lake, California 2020

"I can't believe how much more comfortable I feel living in a house that has my design ideal and flow and function. It's crazy what the difference is... even my mood. It's so so beautiful... I'm serious. It's life changing for me. How I use the house... it feels like before I was simply 'existing' within the house.... now I feel so close to it, perfectly aligned with it... the kitchen is jaw dropping beautiful... I think it's perfect. OMG, the appliances are divine. The clear ice cube machine is unbelievable (showstopper)... The cooktop is unbelievable. And not just beautiful, functionally unbelievable. Hans was fawning over the sub zero this morning and we use the [built-in Miele coffee maker] literally 10x a day. Truly all so so beautiful; so our (my!) taste-everything. I love it so much."

- DB Malibu, California

"We are so thankful Mike introduced us to you. You have been so helpful and such a pleasure to work with. We couldn't have done it without you."

-CF Westwood, California 2020

"My husband and I think this is the best money we ever spent. We never would have come up with this on our own. My husband said you thought completely outside of the box..."
