Individual Custom Home Clients "Farrell-Faber & Associates’ ability to listen was extraordinary. By taking the time to understand our style, needs, likes and dislikes, their initial rough concept for our home was pretty much the plan we ended up using. We only changed two rooms. They recommended a great interior designer and partnered with us throughout the process – even helping us to resolve some issues we had at one point with one of the involved parties." — Michael and Kristin Hogan "Farrell-Faber & Associates was great to work with. Everyone on the staff was personable, and Shaun and Kevin were very receptive to all of our ideas and input on the house. We are very pleased with the design of the house, and have already highly recommended them to others." — Douglas and Susan Groves Community Home Clients "We had thought about doing a custom home ourselves, but this home already had everything we wanted. We like the larger, more open-flow design for family gatherings and for when the kids have friends over. Farrell-Faber did a great job of designing the homes to provide nice views from almost every window, avoiding any direct peering into neighbors’ windows." — Art and Lisa Dexter "We love the whole open layout – which reminds us of a Tahoe house. But what really sold us was the utility staircase in the back of the house that connects to the family room and kitchen, and having the formal rooms in front. The design allows the kids to still have their own living space when we’re conducting formal entertaining with adults in front. And the large gourmet kitchen/family room is so roomy and popular, it’s tough to get everyone out of the kitchen when we have guests over! " — Steven and Sonja McIntosh Business/Industry Associates "I started working with Kevin and Shaun over 15 years ago. The homes that they design for us in this community are still some of the most sought after in the Sonoma County market. Their creativity and innovation is balanced nicely with their scheduling commitment and value engineering – most firms are strong either in creative or in planning and scheduling, but Farrell-Faber & Associates is strong in both areas. We’ve won a number of industry awards for joint projects we’ve done, including the Northern California MAME "Community of the Year" award – you don’t win that unless you’re working with a great architect. Kevin and Shaun are also very sensitive to the builder’s directives and needs, and work with us to design innovative homes with reasonable direct construction costs. They have never let us down. " —Brenda Christopherson Christopherson Homes "Farrell-Faber & Associates has the ability to really understand someone’s vision for a home and to work with that – both with individuals and builders. They’re very pragmatic in their planning. They designed my own 7,800 sq.-ft. home, and I use them almost exclusively for the more than 350 homes my companies have built. I’ve tried working with other architects, but I keep coming back to them because they’re the best."" —Lou Rago Waterford Associates "Rivendale Homes has had a very successful relationship with Farrell-Faber & Associates for many years. Shaun and Kevin are particularly talented in responding to the needs of our home buyer profile. They excel at placing their well-designed floor plans on difficult lots, taking advantage of site features and orienting to views." —Bill Benjamin Rivendale Homes For more information on Farrell-Faber & Associates, Inc.
