I have had the pleasure of working with ROST Architects on a few projects. I worked closely with Mitchell through the specification process through construction and project completion. On each project in which I participated the final product was amazing. ROST Architects really pays attention to every last detail. I look forward to working with Mitchell on more jobs in the future.

I had the pleasure of working as a project manager for the construction of a new home in Corona del Mar designed by ROST Architects. The responsiveness and professionalism displayed by Alex and Mitch were critical in the execution of the project. ROST created the plan for a stunning and unique home. Most importantly from the perspective of a general contractor, Mitch was actively involved in coming up with the best solutions whenever issues arrived. Some architects draw amazing plans with little regard to the actual ability to execute - that was not the case with Mitch. He pushed the envelope

When I interact with them and their client they always have their clients best interests at heart. It has been a pleasure working with all of the ROST team. I have worked with many firms and people in the industry and ROST is a shining example of the best of the industry.
