Andy was a great architect to work with. He was very responsive, very knowledgeable of the San Francisco planning code and processes and was on-time and on-budget. During the process of a complete rebuild of our historical house in San Francisco he identified a lot of envelope expansion potential, listened to our feedback about how we wanted to restructure the flow and layout and guided us through the redesign process. We did not want to be hands off in the process and Andy was very flexible and allowed us to work with him as a team. Thanks to Andy, our renovation came out great and we have a house that we love.
Andrew Morrall was the Architect for my San Francisco Haight rear yard 3 story addition, roof deck, and kitchen remodel awhile ago. The best recommendation I can give Andrew is that after quite a while, I hired Andrew again for my 3rd story Bathroom remodel. True to form, Andrew listened to what I wanted, solved the design problem in several creative and unique ways, assisted in all of the fixture and finish selections, offered ideas to make the construction go smoother, obtained the permit in 1 day, and referred me to a contractor he's worked with. From a returning client, I would highly recommend for you to give Andrew a call to discuss your next project!
Our decision to hire Andy as our Architect was based on his extensive experience with 3rd story additions and extensive remodels in San Francisco. We proceeded to the design phase with Andy. We were really excited by all of the design options Andy presented. We especially appreciated how Andy listened to us and was able to catch and develop the design wave we were trying to create. Due to circumstances not in our or Andy's control, we have decided not to proceed with the project past the design phase. We found Andy great to work with and would highly recommend him as your Architect for residential additions and remodels in San Francisco!
I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Andy as the Architect on my projects in San Francisco over the past 8 years. The projects have ranged from 1,000 square foot house additions and entire house remodels down to designer kitchens. Andy's architectural documentation and detailing are extraordinary and the most thorough and comprehensive I have seen. He backs these up with site visits and a thorough knowledge of best building practices. One greatly appreciated benefit of working with Andy is that during the design and document phase so many issues are completely thought through and solved prior to construction . I most certainly find this the exception and not the rule on projects. When problems do arise during construction – and they always do - He is able to creatively problem solve through any issue and responds promptly, sticking with an issue until it is solved. Not only have I had the opportunity to work with Andy on some really well designed and beautiful projects, I have had the satisfaction and peace of mind working with an Architect that is well-heeled that really cares about and understands every aspect of a project. Having Andy as the Architect on my projects gives me the highest level of confidence. Things are going to be well thought out, thoroughly detailed and done right. I always jump at the opportunity to have Andy as the Architect on my projects and so look forward to having Andy on my team. Over the years Andy has been key to successful projects that I can point to as best examples. He is most definitely a prime reason I have been able to build my business over the years and has given me so many countless referrals of my own that are of the highest caliber. For his Creativity, knowledge and professionalism, I wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend Andy as your Architect!
After interviewing several Architects we hired Andy as the Architect for our house addition and remodel in the Lakeside Terrace Neighborhood of San Francisco. We’ve found Andy very professional and knowledgeable. He was enthusiastic in solving the design problem and presenting 2 very creative and effective solutions to choose from. Andy listened to all of our concerns and ideas and was very thorough in explaining and responding to our questions. Andy’s design is keeping with the style of the original home while opening up a portion of the existing Kitchen and Dining Room. Andy’s design features a unique solution of a cathedral ceiling for the ground level addition that ties in with the Main level of our split level home. One of our concerns was safety for the new ground floor addition. Andy proactively offered several practical solutions. One will allow for a large stacking sliding glass door with a retractable rolling screen for security. A main concern for us was cost and budgeting of the project. We appreciated Andy’s candor and honesty when assessing the construction budget early in the project. A unique way Andy works with clients is that he will invite contractors that have worked on his past projects to develop a working budget during the design phase. Andy has been an invaluable asset, especially during covid, for all of the submittals and dealing with the planning and building department. He is enthusiastic in being our advocate while dealing with the planning and building department. He is willing to negotiate, and where needed push back. We have very much valued Andy’s skill, talent and attention to detail throughout the project. We enthusiastically recommend Andy as the Architect for your project! Andy has been steadfast in responding and moving the building permit through San Francisco. We have now broke ground and started construction! Andy has been available and attentive during construction, including site visits engaging in valuable exchanges with the contractor and responding to as-built conditions on the site.
