Working with Prestin Ravid Architects on our home addition and renovation has been amazing. Navigating the City of Palo Alto’s complex permit process could have been stressful, but Eyal and his team made it smooth and enjoyable. With Eyal’s extensive experience, his strategic, efficient approach and clear communication helped us get our permit in about half the expected time. His designs are thoughtful, detail-oriented, and perfectly balance aesthetics and practicality. Highly recommend!n goes here

I recently had the pleasure of working with Eyal Ravid at Prestin Ravid and couldn’t be happier. From start to finish, he was professional, kind, and easygoing—making the process smooth and enjoyable. His designs were innovative, aligned with my vision, and executed with great attention to detail. The value I received was outstanding, with top-notch services and insights that enhanced the project. The result exceeded my expectations and added significant value to my property. I highly recommend Eyal to anyone in need of architectural services.

We purchased our home with the intention of adding a second story, which was a decision that we knew meant major renovations and planning. We spent 2 years planning and searching for an Architect and Builder that we felt like we could trust and partner with. Working with Eyal is the best choice we could have made!! He listened to our vision and ideas, added in recommendations that I hadn't thought of, maintained the visual look and feel I was going for, and truly cares about the people who will live in the spaces he designs. It's been such a pleasure to work with him and it's taken so much of the stress out of this project. I honestly don't think we would have gone through with the build if we hadn't met him. If you're looking for an architect I couldn't recommend Eyal more.

When we decided on our home addition in Los Gatos, we interviewed a dozen architects and chose Eyal and his team—and we couldn't be happier! We're moving in this month and are incredibly satisfied. At our first meeting, Eyal provided multiple layout options and 3D renderings to help us visualize. He thought of things we’d never have imagined, like the angles of the vaulted ceiling. He was receptive to feedback and helped incorporate our many ideas. We realized a home addition involves tough, permanent decisions, and having Eyal made that process easier. Overall, Eyal was fast, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. Our house is our biggest investment, and we’re glad we chose someone who helped us elevate it!

Prestin Ravid Architects exceeded our expectations as first-time homebuyers with a major project involving structural changes. Our experience with Eyal, the lead architect, was amazing. Communication was key, and Eyal kept us informed and involved throughout the process. He offered valuable advice on design, best practices, and practical tips like recommending supply stores and cautioning us about potential pitfalls. We felt supported and confident. Eyal also took the time to understand our preferences, budget, and goals, tailoring his work to suit our needs. His genuine care and excitement were evident from the first call to permit approval. We highly recommend Eyal & Prestin Ravid Architects.

Eyal was wonderful to work with! This was my first remodel and he was patient with all my questions and requests. He has a clear understanding of design and can guide you through each step of the way for any space that you need help creating. He has a great team, is reliable, and always responsive. Highly recommend him and his team for any project!

We had an absolutely great experience working with Prestin Ravid Architects. We hired Eyal for a full remodel and addition to our house, and he consistently exceeded our expectations. We are first-time home buyers embarking on a substantial project with structural changes, and he made the process as simple and straightforward as possible.

We tried to work with another well-known architectural firm in the Bay Area but after six months of painfully slow communication and frustration with the lead architect not understanding our preferences or project vision, we decided it was time to look elsewhere. We were referred to Eyal by another homeowner who worked with them and promptly made the switch after hearing the terrific reviews.

Eyal did an amazing job! We never loved our house so much! Of course, the contractor did it very well too but his work was based on the Eyal's project. All documentation was clear so the general contractor almost made no mistakes. Now we have a beautiful house with a beautiful extra dwelling. Just need to earn some money to start working on a new project with Prestin Ravid Architects.

Choosing to work with Eyal as our architect was easily one of the best decisions we made in our home renovation project. Not only was he extremely responsive and thorough in addressing our questions and capturing details in construction plans, but he also took the time to understand what our vision was and provided invaluable suggestions and recommendations. He was a true partner from the development of the construction plans, to getting our permits approved, to even helping us understand how to approach the numerous decisions needed (appliances, flooring, trim, kitchen cabinets, etc.) - Eyal went above and beyond to help us navigate everything . As first time homebuyers navigating a process that can be daunting at times, we're so grateful that we worked with Eyal and his team - highly, highly recommend!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Eyal. He demonstrated incredible skill and expertise and went above and beyond to deliver an outstanding result which got me access to an over the counter permit with SF’s building department - which saved a lot of headache!

His attention to detail and ability to understand and translate my vision into reality was truly remarkable. He took the time to listen to my ideas and requirements, and then used their expertise to create a design that got though the approval process without any delay. Throughout the entire process, he maintained a high level of professionalism and communication and kept me informed every step of the way

Eyal’s work truly speaks for itself, and I loved working with such a skilled, talented and reliable architect.

We interviewed several architects and chose Urbancraft Architects for their clear communication and depth of experience. Over the next year, we stayed in touch weekly if not daily with Eyal as we remodeled our entire Los Altos home including an addition. Eyal helped us make tradeoffs, balance our budget, and manage expectations and construction. He’s passionate about the details, represents your best interests, and really cares. He was creative with solutions right for our lifestyle—eliminating stairs, maximizing the mudroom, lighting. The home was completed on time and looks stunning. His design features opened our eyes to what's possible—vaulted ceilings with beams, open-concept living, laundry closet. Focused on results, a positive energy, and a pleasure to work with—highly recommended.

If you've ever worked with the City, you know it can be intimidating. I needed someone experienced who could help me navigate City requirements. Throughout, Eyal was professional and answered all my questions. He was very accommodating with floorplan changes and shared helpful opinions. What I appreciated most was his patience and responsiveness. When the City came back with comments, Eyal’s team responded swiftly with the necessary revisions. Despite COVID-related delays and new City protocols, we pushed through review relatively easily online. A huge learning experience—I’m glad I partnered with UrbanCraft. Thanks Eyal and team!

We were fortunate to work with Eyal as our architect. He’s passionate, caring, detail-oriented and has an artist eye that definitely shows through. His amazing design created us a beautiful house without compromising on function. The rare thing is when we disagree on certain details, he is very diplomatic but firm in telling us what his reason is behind it. Even if we disagree in the beginning, often we often came around to his thinking and were so glad we did. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
