I've had the pleasure of working with Al and his team on several projects, ranging from an interior remodel to a full scale gut/expansion/renovation of a single family home in San Francisco. From our very first meeting I got the sense that Al really understood my goals and design aesthetic. Upon working with him, it became evident that not only is he skilled in designing beautiful spaces, but he is also very experienced in dealing with the complex permitting process here in the City. Having him on our team to navigate that process was invaluable. Most importantly, Al and his team were very easy to communicate with and always made themselves available when we needed them. The responsiveness and professionalism on their end made everything that much easier. I would highly recommend Al and his team to anyone looking for architectural services .

I am ecstatic to give DRAMS Architects and Al Dram a well-deserved 5-star review for their exceptional work on my boba tea shop's tenant improvement project. The team's expertise, innovative design approach, and use of cutting-edge 3D scanning technology ensured a perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality. The inviting atmosphere, created through their attention to detail, elevates the customer experience. Al Dram's excellent communication and commitment to deadlines contributed to the project's timely completion within budget. DRAMS Architects' proficiency in using advanced technology truly sets them apart, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for any architectural project.

I am very happy and satisfied with Drams architect. They did my new homes remodeling including adding a new bathroom and changing the layout of my kitchen. Their design was creative, practical and beautiful. I was surprised that they were able to convert one bathroom into two full bathrooms (I have talked to multiple architect firms but none of them had this idea). For a three bedrooms apartment, this is a huge PLUS!
