5 Star Review by Alexa Cunningham

Our complete 1800's home remodel was down right complicated and our budget was pretty tight. We remodeled a duplex and Marcel had the BEST ideas. We wanted one floor living so Marcel designed it so we could live downstairs and tenants could live upstairs. (he flipped the duplex from side to side to up and down) Add to that our living on one floor meant we needed a lot of creative ideas for not only storage but a design that would give us the best view of our creek. I don't know how he did it but now we can see the creek from every window of the house. I can't say enough good things about Marcel. Every day I stand in my kitchen and think "do I live here?" He is not only a designer from an architectural standpoint but a true arist in every aspect (like he actually is an artist and so is his wife!) He added so many tiny creative touches that I never would have thought of. Besides that, he is so darn nice, and he tolerated me which also can be a lot.

We feel very fortunate to have been introduced to Marcel in Baja Mexico. He helped us choose the lot (BIG decision, and it would have been a disaster if we chose the other lot!) and designed our DREAM home! There is no way we would have such an incredible house if not for Marcel. He took all our 'must-have's' and designed our house with everything in mind, and to maximize enjoyment of our panoramic Pacific Ocean views. His input, creativity and sense of space was critical - thinking about how we would live and move around the house - my wife and I never would have thought of these things, and they make a huge difference in the house. I cannot recommend Marcel highly enough - working with him was a pleasure. He is an expert, and is patient, thoughtful, considerate - did I mention patient? My wife and I had no idea what we were doing or getting into, and he saved us a lot of aggravation and headache - reviewing the architects plans and suggesting changes that we incorporated. We couldn't be more pleased and pinch ourselves every day that we wake up in the house. Thank you Marcel!

Marcel is the best! Creative, imaginative, practical, and patient with our roughly 1000 questions per day as we remodeled a 140+ year old house. Always available, very responsive, and above all - a super nice person.

Marcel is an extraordinary designer and approached our kitchen renovation with a very creative and flexible mindset. He incorporated our family's custom needs into the design and flow of the space. What you can't see from the attached composite picture containing before and afters of our kitchen is all the hidden and subtle details that make the space a pleasure to cook in, easy to clean up, and inviting and live in. We've "road tested" this kitchen for 5 years so far and I think it'll be a beautiful space for long, long time to come. Can't recommend Marcel highly enough.
