"I have known Martin for over 15 years. We met when I was looking for an architect to design a major remodel / addition of a small, upslope home in Laurel Canyon. Not knowing an architect with whom I wanted to work, I held a design competition amongst three architects, paying each of them to develop a design scheme for the house. The competition turned out not to be very competitive, with Martin's designs clearly being the most compelling, creative and functional.
While that project never got built, I remained closely associated with Martin over the years and have done several other projects with him. In each of these, Martin has brought something extra to the design so that the final result has been exceptional.
Martin's creative talents first led me to work with him, but it is who he is as a person that I value the most. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with him, I am sure you will find as I have that his integrity and the way he lives his values make Martin a person you will be proud to call not just your architect, but your friend."
