We wanted a brief consult from an experienced architect on the design of our home and potential options for renovations or additions. Paul came over at a time that was convenient for us (a weekend, no less), did a thorough walkthrough, and gave us sound, focused advice on options and how best to proceed. Highly recommend him.

We're building an Acessory Dwelling Unit and needed a site plan constructed in a short time frame. R&R design put together a site plan for us in just minutes allowing us to obtain permits without waiting weeks.
He was hired after another architect bailed in the beginning stages of our project I would highly recommend R&R design for any home improvement or new addition project.

Paul was quick to arrive at my home and had lots of local knowledge to help me with creating my plans for the Tacoma permit process.

Paul saved the day for us eight years ago when we needed to find a new architect to complete and revise plans made for a long-dreamed for project that the original architect could not return to two years after he submitted it. Paul took it on and brought it to the County, where we were stopped in our tracks when we were told our plan to dig our own well would not be permitted. Not to be deterred, we did what we were told and then last year, when the diverted plan of joining a recently dug community well for a neighboring HOA seemed plausible, I returned to ask Paul to downsize the plan . Again, Paul did not hesitate to accept and firmly stood by patiently as I waited for the well project to be finalized. Four years after the unexpected death of my husband, when the State stepped in and reduced the number of water shares, I had to come to the difficult decision to abandon the project. I remain so grateful to Paul for his kindness and compassion - despite the fact that we were unable to see this project through. I would hire Paul again in a heartbeat. He is a good man, with considerable knowledge and skill, but most importantly, because of his compassion and stalwart support.

We had a short but great experience with Paul. This was our first house project and we were nervous about having a bad experience. Paul's transparency helped remove those fears by cc'ing us on emails to our general contractor and promoting an open line of communication. When he came out to the house for the initial visit he was respectful and listened to our inputs and concerns. He submitted a great first draft and we had only minimal comments which he addressed before his final submittal. The final set of drawings were delivered complete and on time. Months later, after some issues with our general contractor, he provided us with recommendations of reliable contractors to perform the construction of our addition.
I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a friendly, helpful architect especially if this their first project.
