Testimonials

Mauricio brings an amazing amount of experience to projects. BOA's design solutions are both innovative but practical and buildable, which is a needed and often overlooked skill. We've worked on local and overseas projects together so his familiarity with multiple markets, diverse codes, culture and context makes him a great principal on projects, able to bring Burgeoning's unique design sensibility to a wide variety of work. I highly recommend him and his team.

—John Zapf, Homeowner & Investor
“BOA excelled in redesigning our 1964 Sunland house, offering clear upfront pricing and presenting three design options with 3D modeling for visualization. Mauricio's meticulous measurements and assistance with city approvals proved invaluable. The result is a perfect blend of functionality and artistic appeal. Highly recommend!”

—Pam Rank, Homeowner

I wish I could give Burgeoning Architects more than 5 stars. They are wonderful to work with, and Mauricio is incredibly talented! He came up with some very creative solutions to some code issues on my property. For budget reasons I needed to scale back the original plans, and he found ways to save me money while keeping the design elements that were important to me. If you need an architect in SoCal, don't hesitate to call Mauricio. You will be very happy you did!

—Anne Mason, Multi-Family Investor
Mauricio is a super-talented architect with great interpersonal skills and a keen sense of design at any scale. As a fellow designer and contractor I can attest to his creativity and his wide range of experience. He is approachable, professional and a pleasure to work with.
