We worked with Allen at Sofiov Design on a remodel of our primary bathroom. Allen came to our house to see the bathroom and get a feel for our style, what colors we wanted and what was most important to us in terms of function and layout. He took us shopping and helped us pick tile, fixtures, cabinets, a tub, lighting, etc., and gave us advice when we weren't sure what was best (paint colors, for example!). He made a 3D rendering of the space with all our choices and measurements. Allen was very meticulous in keeping track of what needed to be purchased and kept us organized and on track. Our bathroom turned out exactly as planned - and looked just like his renderings! Thank you, Allen and team, for helping us design our beautiful and functional bathroom!
Building from scratch in Los Altos felt daunting until we saw their fixed-cost construction model. Every expense was laid out transparently before pouring concrete. There were zero hidden fees or surprise invoices at completion. It was the smoothest build imaginable.
Long overdue - but I would give Allen and team a complete 5 star.
Our home was a remodel (new purchase) with limited structural changes but involved permits etc. Allen and team helped us expedite the design, selection and coordination process in 8 weeks. In addition, his detailed drawings and attention to detail is commendable. This helped us get more precision in our contractor quotes and the outcome was exactly as we envisioned in the rendering.
His calm, personable, and professional working team is an ABSOLUTE pleasure to work with. We suffered when we did not listen to him (e.g. going with another kitchen cabinet contractor) and would strongly suggest working with him on any future project.

Booking their FF&E service for our San Francisco penthouse was effortless. All custom furniture arrived and was fully installed two weeks ahead of schedule.
Our redwood city kitchen remodel came with a crystal-clear, itemized estimate that never budged. When a plumbing glitch emerged behind the drywall, the crew resolved it the same afternoon. We couldnt be happier.
We had a wonderful experience with Allen and the design team at Sofiov Design. Our bathroom remodel project resulted in a gorgeous bathroom. We stuck close to Allen’s design and are extremely happy with it. It is subtle and very elegant. Just what we were looking for. The floor to ceiling wavy tiles covering most of the walls are understated and yet quite spectacular. The colors are perfect.
We used half inch glass for the shower enclosure and it is substantial and yet at the same time light and airy. The nickel fixtures give the right touch of luxury. Wonderful.
Thank you so much Allen and Design Team at Sofiov Design!
