World class, yet humble. This husband-wife team did an outstanding job with the design of my La Jolla condo complete remodel. It was likely one of their smaller jobs but I felt like an important client. I picked them because they were the architects of my prior condo complex which I absolutely loved. Hoping not to move for quite some time, but if I ever need an architect again, I will request Batter Kay to assist me.
