Apparatus Architecture

I had a very good experience working with Apparatus Architecture when I had them design an add-​on for my business last year. From start to finish, they took care of everything that needed taking care of. This is my first time working with architects but from what my contractor kept going on and on about, the architects at Apparatus are extremely detail oriented when it comes to their drawings and I know it certainly made the contractor’s job easier. Hey, in the end, I’m sure the architects making my contractor’s job easier saved me a few dollars too, which was amazing. Another thing about Apparatus is that I found it very easy to work with and talk to them about my ideas for the space. They’re accommodating and receptive to your ideas which I definitely appreciated. I know that not everyone’s experiences with architects are this good, so I’m very thankful. I definitely don’t regret choosing Apparatus Architecture.

I am a general contractor in the city and have had a chance to work with Apparatus on several projects. All the projects turned out great and in no small thanks to their skillful efforts.
As a contractor I am a big proponent of necessary preconstruction work being done well and in great detail. All the Apparatus’s drawings have been very detailed and helped me produce detailed estimates and also minimized the amount of change orders during the construction.
Remodeling projects in San Francisco, and most of residential and light commercial ones are, have a higher need for a very intimate understanding of construction techniques. Merging of old and new in a lasting and ecstatically pleasing way is a challenge. The Apparatus team always stepped in and found the right construction detail for the right situation.
As a builder I highly recommend them.

We worked with Stuart at Apparatus on a project and he was a dream.
He was funny and professional and gets the job done.
He has a great way of mixing modern elements that are timeless and classical at the same time. Apparatus has a great office as well in Hayes Valley. There is always parking out front and the bonus is that they are just a few doors down from Citizen Cake and you can pick up a cupcake on the way to or from your meeting with them!

I love my architect. Who has an architect, you may ask. Well, a person that bought a house almost pre-​dot com and now needs more than just 900 square feet of no-​closet-​space victorian does.
My architect rocks. He’s got good ideas, creative, knowledgeable and able to communicate and work with your needs and styles.
