Noemi did an excellent job designing the remodel of our 100 year old home in San Mateo. We interviewed many architects, all but Noemi wanted to go away and come back with a plan. Noemi was able to visualize the possibilities on the spot, taking into consideration the historical value of our home and our goals for the project. We knew immediately she was the right choice. After the fact, our house is beautiful and I don’t think I’d change a thing. Highly recommended.

Noemi Avram designed and assisted in the implementation of a structural remodel in my home. There were several design alternatives each with aesthetic and functional pros and cons. Noemi fully developed each concept so we could visual each and make an informed decision on how to proceed. Noemi also submitted our design and achieved very prompt approval from our town planning department, enabling us to complete our project well within our time frame. We would readily hire her again if our needs require architectural expertise.

Noemi is a superb architect: skillful, sensitive to the project and to budget, creative, deeply knowledgeable and very adept at “finishes” and “fixtures. I have hired Noemi on two period residences. Her work was simply fantastic in every respect and she is great fun to work with.

Noemi Avram has done two projects for us – first, a complete remodel/renovation of our home, and second, a addition of a canopy over a second floor deck. Our remodel/renovation was total – we stripped the interior walls of a 70-year-old house down to the studs, and completely replaced all plumbing, electrical, heating and air-conditioning systems, installed new sheetrock walls and ceilings, and new bathroom and kitchen fixtures and appliances. We moved a number of walls around and reconfigured bathrooms, bedrooms, the kitchen, dining room, living room, playroom and office. Noemi developed sensible, functional plans that achieved exactly what we were looking for. Her work is efficient (there was no excessive design time), smart and aesthetically sharp. We highly recommend Noemi Avram!

Noemi is a great architect and a fantastic Rotarian. At Gilmans Kitchens and Baths we do not hesitate to refer our customers that need architectural work, or just advice to Noemi. She is always there to lend a helping hand. Our customers always come back from a visit to Noemi with a smile and a thank you for referring her.

Our Townhome Association hired Noemi’s firm, Gumbinger Avram Architects, to provide a solution to a complicated window modification program. She and her colleagues performed brilliantly, met all deadlines and helped us to negotiate a suitable resolution to the problem while holding our costs to a minimum. I would be pleased to provide a more detailed recommendation if needed.

As the nonprofit Executive Director of Shelter Network, I especially valued Noemi’s understanding of the needs of our homeless population. She worked diligently on the rebuild of our First Step for Families facility in San Mateo, watching the bottom line while creating a beautiful site for our homeless families. She is personable, hard working, and incredibly well connected to the community. I highly recommend her as a partner in developing beautiful projects that benefit our entire community.

I am a developer and building contractor. I have had numerous encounters with different architects in the last ten years. Noemi is the one I really do respect and will highly recommend her to anyone else. Our recent project (2009) at 927 N. Idaho Street in San Mateo, Ca. 94401 (at Pennisula and close to the famous Nini’s Cafe) has drawn lots of compliments from neighbor and passers-by. Try drive-by-shooting yourself with your camera next time you are in the neighborhood. This is only the outside half of the story. The inside half is far more valuable in terms of maximum long term enjoyment with optimum utility value, sound and safe engineering and comfort for the occupants. To sum up in a few words, Noemi is a straight forward no nonsense architect who will deliver and accomplish your project in a professional manner with utmost efficiency and value for your money.

We had a tight deadline on a major remodel and relocation. noemi was great in getting us what we needed and helping us through the process, and as a result, we were able to meet some pretty tight deadlines. I’d recommend her highly to anyone needing an architect.
