Testimonials

"In 2015 we fulfilled a long time dream and built a new art studio. It was complicated because the building and lot setbacks restricted where and what we could build. We converted our old garage into the new studio, and then built a new garage. We feel extremely fortunate to have found a fabulous architect, Gordon Magnin, whose vision and expertise brought our project to fruition. We ended up with a building plan that exceeded our expectations, and Gordon surmounted all the obstacles for us. He got our plans approved, and lined up all of the experts that we needed, including our contractor.
He is a delight to work with; very professional, positive, artistic, knowledgeable, and always took into consideration what we wanted and made it happen.  In addition to an architect, we have found a friend, and valuable resource."

"After years of dreaming up our perfect kitchen, Gordon designed a plan to make it come to reality. It was evident that he listened closely to what our vision was as he rendered it with complete understanding! Gordon also addressed the challenges in our project with realistic solutions. Since we were undertaking a renovation of this scale for the first time, there were many questions and concerns we had and Gordon's guidance informed us and reassured us through the planning process. Our new kitchen is an amazing addition to our home, providing a space to enjoy with family and friends that we're truly proud of!”

“I had Magnin Architecture design 2 mobile carts for my coffee roasting business. The work was performed expertly and quickly and the overall aesthetic was visually stunning. We continue to have compliments for the look of the carts and are constantly being asked who designed them for us. Overall it was a pleasure to work with Magnin's teams and I would not hesitate to do it again.”

“Magnin Architecture helped us with the design, permitting, and a feasibility study of our brewery. I can't tell you how happy we were with the services they provided. Not only did they go above and beyond to close the loop with the many agencies that we had to deal with in the process, but their eye for design was fantastic. We receive compliments every day on the design and layout of our brewery and we would not have gotten to this point without Magnin Architecture.”
