“We asked Christie to make a “see-through” house” in our farm in Sonoma – and what a great design she came up with. In the construction process, she coordinated the design of all aspects of the house including minor details. Christie was very proactive in different ideas including interior design and gave us many options to choose from.”

“Christie is amazing. In every aspect. All the time. After we lost our Napa house in the 2017 fires we spoke with 1/2 dozen architects. Christie was the only one who asked for our first meet to be on site. At that first meeting she thoughtfully asked about how a day progresses for us in the house. Who gets up first? Where would we drink coffee? She looked at the pattern of the sun. Then we started talking about the house design.

Nothing about our build was simple: the site is remote, woodsy and the house is against a hill. Christie rose to every challenge, presented us with options, was sensitive to costs and always, always kept a focus on how we would live in the house. Today we have an extraordinarily beautiful, light-filled home that embraces indoor/outdoor living and from each window the outlook is like a painting. Christie and her team are simply the best.”

Christie is an incredibly talented, creative and professional architect and I will definitely work with her on future projects. She knows her craft well and is easy to talk to and work with. She has great ideas of her own but also listens to her clients and incorporates their ideas into her designs. And as an added bonus, I feel as if I made a friend in the process.

“As general contractor a good architect is vital to the success of any project and Tyreus design studio has been a pleasure to work with. Their designs are stunning and their construction plans are thorough. I look forwards to collaborating with them on more projects in the future!”

“We hired Christie in 2012 for a remodel of our dark, dated 1970’s California ranch. When we began the project, the scope was limited to the public areas (kitchen, family, living, dining) of the house, but it quickly grew to include a new bathroom addition and remodel of our 4 bedrooms as well. My biggest fear going into the project was that any changes we made would look like just that – changes – as opposed to a seamless update where the lines between old and new would be undetectable. Christie put those fears to rest with her first drawings, which cleverly added a new bathroom where an expansive and unused front porch had once been. Genius! She also gave us a slightly larger kitchen footprint by bumping out the wall between the bedrooms and the kitchen. Her fee was very reasonable for the services she provided. While Christie leans toward a very modern, clean, aesthetic, she is flexible and very good about letting the client’s design preferences take the lead. Our house is now a gorgeous, rustic modern, light, and airy ranch house with an efficient layout and quality workmanship (Christie recommended our contractor). Besides being a gifted architect, Christie skillfully shepherded our project through the Larkspur planning department, keeping us on the desired timeline. We are one of the few homeowners out there who can say we were 100% satisfied with the process and the results. Thank you, Christie.”
