Could Your Home Be Next?

Mom’s Sanctuary:

We added a walk-in closet and a bathroom to the master bedroom of this 100-year-old Spanish-style single-family home. The new master bath opens to the yard that features an oversized jacuzzi and fountain.

  • "We have lived in the house for a couple of years now since the remodel, and my wife and I sometimes discuss if we would have done anything differently with our home—we can't think of anything. The remodel Christina did for our home is perfect."

    Brian B.

  • "Christina is the best! She is very talented and so wonderful to work with! I was so impressed with how she transformed my mother's broken-down ranch house into an elegant French Country cottage. I hired her to transform my unimaginative 1950's tract house into a uniquely charming cottage. 10/10 would hire again!"

    Lucy B.

  • "We have had a great experience working with Christina Fu and Silver Elms Architecture. Christina is professional, responsive, and brings a thoughtful architectural perspective to every project. She understands how to balance design, function, and construction needs, which makes the process smooth and efficient. We would gladly recommend her architectural services."

    Serg & Luxus Construction

  • "Christina of Silver Elm Studio is an inspired, creative, imaginative, reliable and communicative architect and I highly recommend her! Keeping the same floor plan, except for adding a front entry hall, she transformed my 1930’s ranch house into a charming French Cottage style home.   One can hardly believe that it is the same house.  Every time I drive up to my home I am amazed at its transformation."

    Helen B.

  • My house is the most beautiful on the street! The City Officials stopped by and asked us who our architect was. The best recommendation you can give an architect is to use them again. So, when it came time for my mother-in-law to remodel her house, we hired Christina of Silver Elms Architecture.
