We bought a cool mid-century modern house that was full of bad 1980s updates, so we wanted to hire…read morean architect to help us turn it into our dream home. Although there was plenty of room in the house for two of us, the space was not well-planned. We were feeling overwhelmed by what needed to be done in our new home, and hiring Ken to design our interior was easily the best decision that we made. He took the time to get to know us and we felt he really understood our needs and how we would use each area of our home. There were many design challenges and Ken's out of the box thinking both met those challenges and improved the space. He was very easy to work with and his calm energy was a perfect fit for us. We knew from the plans that our house would be spectacular when finished, and it definitely exceeded those expectations. Everything about the house is improved, and there are a couple of the design elements that consistently draw an amazed response from visitors to our home.

Setting a goal to build an ADU was both scary and exciting, since I have had terrible experiences…read morewith construction professionals in past projects. I knew I needed someone, who was knowledgeable about local ADU laws and the nuance in the construction process to help us make this dream come true. After interviewing different companies, we ended up hiring Ken and his team at One World Architecture. Ken and his team's professionalism was second to none. They were quick to respond whenever I have inquiries. Ken understands the process is scary for homeowners, and never made us feel that our concerns weren't important, no matter how insignificant they were. He was not only our architect, but he was also our therapist during this process. He listened to our needs, provided ideas we never even considered, and set up multiple meeting until we found the right contractor. He didn't just design and let us fend for ourselves. He was proud of his work and guide us though the completion of the project. I now have a beautiful home office, a place for my elder parents to live in and an opportunity to supplement my retirement income many years down the road. I'd recommend One World Architecture wholeheartedly. In fact, I had so much joy working with Ken, I would personally vouch for him to work on any of my families' and friends' projects. I know they will be taken care of!

Throughout the process Eric was constantly in communication with me and flexible to my particular needs and changes to scope as the products progressed towards the finish line. Bela Development took our 100 year old San Diego mission revival home that was looking a little rough around the edges and cleaned it up, modernizing our kitchen, upgrading ancient electrical & plumbing, improving our HVAC design, & completing a whole home re-stucco. They even returned our 1980s fireplace back to a spanish-style fireplace with a upgraded twist. There was a bit of every trade involved in my scope and Eric knew who to call about it. I am not ashamed to say that I was a very particular client to work with and they did an excellent job getting our home across the finish line because Eric had the same attention to detail that I did. It was great working with Bela Development, and I'd recommend them to any of my family or friends.

The team showed up on time every day, kept the workspace clean, and kept us informed at every stage. They were flexible when small changes came up and offered great suggestions. The process was so smooth starting with permits to demo to the final touches. They were professional, communicated, and were incredibly detail-oriented. Our project turned out better than we ever imagined! Our friends and family can't stop complimenting the transformation which truly feels like a new home. We highly recommend The Ace Builder to anyone looking for quality work, honesty, and a contractor who genuinely cares about delivering exceptional results.

Phil Reyes expertise was the reason that my project is now moving forward with the City of San Diego. Reyes Architecture developed the design and plans that the city required.

I highly recommend Reyes Architecture and would definitely use his firm again. Carson Estes San Diego, CA

We recently moved into our new Mission Hills house. Phil Reyes designed it. We were referred to…read morePhil by the former head of City Planning. He said Phil could solve difficult problems. Mission Hills lots are sometimes tricky to build on--with quirky angles, canyons, problematic soils and tempermental zoning. Phil did a superb job. He is very good at three things: (1) Listening to clients and coming up with good, simple, elegant designs; (2) Patiently working with the city to obtain permits and get through inspections; (3) quickly and accurately answering questions raised by the structural engineer, contractor, site supervisor and framer. We love our house. It is one of the best built in the entire neighborhood. It is simple yet spacious. It is brand new but has the warm feel of a Craftsman or Spanish home from the 1920's.

I have been very impressed with the thoroughness of Jeanne's work and her follow through to make sure the job is done in a timely manner. Jeanne is also a gem of a person and an absolute pleasure to work with. I also like that Jeanne makes helpful recommendations that I need for my house.

Jeanne also worked closely with the drafter of my home renovation plans and worked very well with him. Overall I am very impressed with Jeanne and I not only recommend her strongly but also plan to use her services again in the near future. We are very fortunate to have Jeanne in SD.
