Five star, five star, five star. Talk about an awesome 1st experience with an architectural design…read morefirm. We wanted to build a custom home in New Braunfels and wanted to put our own spin on a set of house plans the builder had, and were sent to Kokanee. We couldn't have asked for better architects to design our dream home. Jake and Ariel are exceptional, ethical people. I wished everyone were this exceptional. We were a great team. They listened to our "wants" and we listened to their expertise on why it would, or would not work. Or why it wouldn't be feasible. They are tops in their profession. Great Experience! FYI: They have changed locations and are currently at: 421 S Seguin Ave. Suite A New Braunfels 78130 Website: kosotexas.com

Daniel designed our custom home in a gated community outside of Austin in the Hill Country. We was…read moreimpressed with his architectural vision from the beginning and after 10 in-person meetings ( 3 in person and 6 via zoom ) we had a fully developed architectural 3D model that we give you from all sides. Daniel was very generous with his time and since we have quite a few impressive views we wanted to capture all of the views perfeand all of the Hill Country ambiance

5 star Architect for a reason!…read more Daniel has an architectural approach that I believe people will find very rare and refreshing these days. He is very giving of his time, knowledge, and is the most collaborative of the 3 Architects we have used on the 2 other custom homes we have built. As an example, even before we signed a contract he made multiple site visits to give us his friendly professional insight about several lots we were considering before we selected the property we ultimately purchased. He was extremely accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process. Collaboration is his priority from the beginning and he made it very convenient through the use of screen share as we designed the home together. We were really impressed with the architectural 3D model that Daniel created. It was amazing that we were able to have a computer-generated 3D model to visualize the complete exterior as well as the outdoor entertaining, outdoor kitchen, and the pool and spa area. We were able to have the majority of our meetings in the evenings after we got off work and we even did a screen share to collaborate on our laptop while we were out of town visiting family. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about both the architectural and contractual aspects of building, but he seems to have a great instinct for what the client is looking achieve. He also had the desire to study alternatives and create several layouts that might make the most sense for the lifestyle we described. Our custom home is amazing and we would definitely recommend him to our friends. We enjoyed the process of the architectural design of our custom home and even more surprisingly we enjoyed the building process that is often stressful. Instrumental in our smooth building process was Daniel's custom home building budget that he accurately laid out from the beginning giving us many options and associated costs. Daniel's project management and selection of the builder really took confusion out of the process and stress off of our lap. Other critical details that made build successful was his guidance and assistance with the interior design, kitchen, and bath design, and selection of all of our interior finishes and fixtures. Our kitchen and bathrooms really stand out with exceptional design and we are very grateful for that. All in all the 3% that he charged to be a complete steward of our project was an easy decision. We will definitely be using him in the future and so will our friends that are very impressed with our the result as well as our highly detailed and accurate design and building process.

We would rate Mr. Murray beyond five stars if possible! We not only were beyond satisfied with his…read morework but his persistence and attention to detail. The first meeting we had with Mr. Murray, we already knew he was an outstanding listener. He remembered minor details about our project and was flexible in changing other aspects. During the design process, he was always very responsive and prompt. He is punctual and on top of every aspect. He takes the time to breakdown the complexities of architecture and explains them simply. He is also not afraid to offer suggestions (many of which helped us improve our home design). His experience and background in construction greatly helps with the design. We cannot recommend Mr. Murray enough to future clients.
