Medium Plenty

Excellent architectural and design services provided by the entire staff at Medium Plenty for the complete remodel of our midcentury modern home in the Berkeley hills. From their keen attention to detail and tasteful, informed recommendations on all aspects of our home through to execution, Medium Plenty was a pleasure to work with. We are so happy with the results.

I worked with Ian from Medium Plenty to design and build out a deck and stairs to give access to our backyard on our Victorian. They were great to work with, helped tremendously in navigating the process front start to finish. I highly recommend Medium Plenty and plan to use them for an upcoming project.

We enjoyed working with Ian and team on plans to fully remodel of our Mid Century Modern home in Lafayette. Ian and his team always listen to our ideas closely and then make very thoughtful suggestions that demonstrate they understand the way we want to use our space. Their entire approach is grounded in environmentally sensitive solutions; we've worked with Ian and team heavily on overall interior design and exterior upgrades to make our home a home. Ian and team value collaboration and will work with your budget to lead you through the design/build process. We are extremely happy with our Lafayette remodel and could not have done it without this amazing team.

We worked with Ian Read/Medium Plenty on two projects- a new garden studio and then a full remodel of our 100 year old home. Ian has a clean, modern design aesthetic, knows how to keep a project on time and on budget and is a collaborative and creative professional who is just flat out a pleasure to work with.

Medium Plenty has been on our list of recommend Architects for the past decade. We have collaborated with Ian and Gretchen on many iconic projects around the Bay Area. They are professional, creative and excellent architects We have worked with them extensively on their residential and commercial project around the Bay Area. We also hired them for our own projects. They worked on our new offices at our new facility in Alameda as well as on our own homes in various parts of the Bay Area. They are by far our most trusted resource and we highly recommend them to any of our clients looking for Architects.

Medium Plenty were amazingly helpful with the redesign of my commercial bar. Even on a very tight budget they were able to provide great structural design work and their recommendations for interior design, colors and decoration were spot-on. They were also able to connect me with a great GC. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to complete a commercial or residential project.

Medium Plenty designed and oversaw a large renovation to my houseboat and if you saw my houseboat now, you'd give them 5 stars too. Good value. On time. Easy to work with. Creative. I'd give them 10 stars if that were an option.

One star only because no stars was not an option. Failed to disclose key information about exclusive relationship with contractor. Billed for "design work" and failed to provide work product. Became indignant when informed that payment was not going to made for work not provided.
