“My first meeting with Erik Kramer and Social Studio was surprising. While I loved his enthusiasm and creativity, my husband and I weren’t sure he was the right architect for our vision. He convinced us that my cutesy Craftsman house was not going to fit in with a western ranch neighborhood and that he could blend Craftsman style with a more subtle ranch design. We went with it, and it was the best decision we have ever made. Throughout the design phase, Erik always listened to what we wanted and added his own ideas of balancing contemporary trends with timeless elegance. He has a keen eye for aesthetics to create a home that is both stylish and functional. Throughout the building process, whenever we weren’t sure about a specific design, Erik would represent his ideas visually so we could get a clear picture of what it would look like. He worked closely with our contractor to make sure every detail was executed. His knowledge of the building process is impressive, and he could think outside the box to present an alternative idea whenever the contractor came across a difficult building task. One of the standout features of Erik’s design was his attention to cabinetry detail. The beauty and intricate nature of the custom cabinet design is the highlight of our home. Erik was able to create cabinetry that was functional and beautiful while integrating my desire for maximum storage. An important quality of any architect is the ability to navigate the different personalities in the design and building process. Erik was able to do this with sensitivity and aplomb. He could talk a gorilla out of his banana and convince him that bamboo shoots are the better choice. Working with Erik and Social Studio was a delight. We highly recommend him for anyone looking to elevate their space with thoughtful and elegant design solutions.”
