Wallis Design Studio, Architect

Robert Wallis of Wallis Design Studio designed our award winning home in Redwood City. Look under his news section. He worked tirelessly when any issues came up, is very kind and easy to work with.
One big issue that came up that was very difficult for Robert to navigate, that no architect should ever have to face, was helping us identify and fix serious issues after we terminated our original builder. He didn’t charge us his five hour each way travel on October 8, 2013 to attend a meeting with Brian the Structural Engineer, a member of the Redwood City Building Department, our replacement builder, Tony of Castillo & Company (see Robert’s photo credit of Castillo & Co.), Dave Ross of David Ross Associates and others who graciously attended to help us that day. Robert and Brian were able to fast track the calculations and retrofits to fix the code violations and issues that were not built to the original plans.
Thank you, Robert, we are forever indebted to you for your kindness and sympathy, understanding, and also for giving credit on your website to Tony of Castillo & Company, our replacement builder, by listing him as the contractor.
I will load a photo of our brown shingled Craftsman style finished SIP structure to show your fabulous award winning design of our home. You deserve all the credit for your creativity and ability to create a design worthy of capturing the city’s annual award team’s attention.
A big heartfelt Thank You! Suzanne Zucker

We have worked with Robbert on projects and found him to be capable with building department and planning interaction, precise with his drawings and details, and responsible to budgets. His flavor for design is very tasteful. I am looking forward to working with him again in the near future.
