What Our Clients Have To Say

“We purchased an 1890's home in San Francisco during mid 2015.  We did a very extensive remodel/update of the entire 3,600 sq ft residence.  Mike did all of the plans and was intimately involved in the site work (including engineering ideas) as well as hardware selection and color items.  We engaged Mike for this project as he had previously done work for us at our Napa Valley residence.  We were very satisfied with both projects and would use him again on future projects.  Mike is very responsive and actually "listens" to his clients which is a virtue somewhat difficult to find these days.”

“I have known Mike Larkin, principal of Mike Larkin Architecture, for about twenty years. Mike was the architect of the house I live in now, a major remodel of an early twentieth-century North Berkeley Edwardian completed in 2002. Recently, I am working with Mike again to finish and add livable space to our unfinished basement. The project is still in the permitting stage, and will hopefully be completed early next year (2018).

Mike is an excellent architect. He is very knowledgeable about planning permissions and building permits in different cities in the Bay Area. He is a very good designer, listens carefully to client needs, and works very well with consultants and contractors. If Mike is working with you, as a client, you always have his attention. Mike has a wonderful aesthetic sense, and is equally good at space planning and detailing. With Mike, you can be assured of an excellent product whether it is a commercial or residential project, or a  remodel, or a new project being built from scratch.”

“Mike is the best! A really creative architect that actually listens well to his clients. He is very responsive and makes himself available through the entire project. This is my second project with Mike and it was great. He makes the difficult and sometimes complicated process of building / remodeling a smoother path. Highly recommend his talents!”

“I have worked with Mike Larkin on a variety of residential projects in San Francisco and Oakland over the past ten years and he has always provided excellent service. He responds very quickly to client's needs, is very effective and knowledgeable in dealing with the various planning authorities and offers high quality work at reasonable prices. I would highly recommend him.”
