Mercedes Corbell Design & Architecture

I can’t say enough great things about working with Mercedes. We had a 100-​yr old Craftsman that needed to be completely gutted and remodeled. We wanted to retain the integrity of the glorious old space as well as bring it up to date, adding a sense of space and light. Mercedes is the kind of artist who can walk into an old house and see what it wants to become. She is innovative, curious and adventurous, and what she created for us completely went beyond what we could have imagined.
I would recommend Mercedes to anyone who wanted an architect. Besides being an excellent artist, she was patient, professional and fun and her entire team treated us beautifully from design to completion. We love our home and after a year here it still feels brand new to us.

Mercedes did a wonderful job of designing a kitchen/​dining room remodel that transformed our house. She listened attentively to what we wanted, asked good questions, willingly modified her designs to fit our budget, and helped us find an excellent contractor whom we could afford. Also, she’s knowledgeable about green building materials. If we need design work done in the future, there’s no question that we’ll turn to her.

Mercedes designed a huge kitchen and den remodel for us a couple of years ago and she far surpassed my expectations as to what an architect can do for a remodel. Her creative and professional designs and process kept the contractors on track and we finished early and on budget. Can’t ask for much more than that.
Unilocal needs to get a category for architecture since I had to list this under the categories home/​interior design and home/​contractors.
