What Our Clients Say
Working with Architect Darwin Guarino to build my dream house is a great experience. His ability to truly understand and incorporate my needs and desires into the design was remarkable. Darwin’s attentiveness and responsiveness to every suggestion made the process seamless and enjoyable. He even personally helps me in my issues with the requirements in the Office of Building Official despite his busy schedule. I would absolutely choose his services again without hesitation.

I had the pleasure of working with Architect Darwin from Elev8architecture on a commercial space project seven years ago, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Darwin’s attention to detail was impeccable, and his ability to stay within our budget was a significant advantage. He consistently listened to my desires and incorporated them seamlessly into the design, ensuring the final result was exactly what I envisioned.
One of the biggest challenges I had to face was sticking to my budget, but Darwin’s expertise and innovative solutions helped me navigate this hurdle without compromising on quality or aesthetics. His professionalism and dedication to this project was evident in every interaction.
I am extremely satisfied with the result and would highly recommend Elev8architecture. If you want an architect who listens to you and prioritizes your vision over their own, look no further than Architect Darwin and his awesome team.
