GET THE HOME YOU LOVE
At Guerriero Studios, we reimagine homes with stylish, functional architectural designs-- so you can love where you live, every single day.
YOU WANT COMFORT AND LIVABILITY.
We get it—you’re not as comfortable in your home as you should be. It’s time to transform your space into one that truly supports your lifestyle and daily routines.
YOU WANT STYLE.
Your home should reflect your taste and personality, not someone else’s outdated vision. Whether you're drawn to timeless elegance or modern minimalism, we’ll bring your design style to life.
YOU WANT FUNCTIONALITY.
Your house feels stuck in the past, and it’s frustrating. We specialize in breathing new life into outdated spaces so your home feels fresh, functional, and inspiring.
YOU WANT A DREAM SPACE.
You’ve imagined it for years—a chef’s kitchen, a spa-like bathroom, or a brand new house-- it's a space that feels just right. We know how to turn those dreams into a reality.
YOUR LIFE IS CHANGING.
Big life shifts—kids moving out, a growing family, or a new way of living—mean your home needs to evolve too. We design with your future in mind.
YOUR FOLKS ARE MOVING IN.
Welcoming more family under one roof? We create spaces that blend privacy, functionality, and togetherness so your home works for everyone.
YOU WANT TO INVEST.
A smart renovation isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about increasing your home’s worth. We’ll help you invest wisely and make strategic updates that maximize both your investment and your enjoyment.
YOUR HOME IS FALLING APART.
Leaks, cracks, and outdated systems aren’t just annoying—they can lead to bigger problems. We’ll help you repair, restore, and future-proof your home.
YOUR HOME IS AN ENERGY VAMPIRE.
High utility bills and an inefficient home aren’t sustainable. We design for energy efficiency so your home is more comfortable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective.
DESIGN SERVICES
How it all works

1
Discovery Call
Let’s start your project with a complimentary Discovery Call! This is an opportunity to chat about your project, your goals, and how we can help bring your ideas to life.
2
Site Consultation
A one-hour, on-site consultation to meet in person, walk through your space and define the project’s scope. Following this visit, we’ll provide a detailed proposal outlining the next steps—either a Pre-Design Report or a full Design Services Proposal. A follow-up proposal review meeting is scheduled as part of this service.
3
Pre Design Report
Curious about what’s possible for your property? A Pre-Design Report provides insight into what you can and can’t build. We evaluate design possibilities, identify constraints, estimate project costs, and meet with you to review the findings.
4
Proposal Review Meeting
Once we’ve outlined a project scope, we’ll schedule a video call to go over the architectural design fees, project phases, and agreement terms.

Design Service Steps
Pre-Design: We start with measurements and site research to establish a solid foundation for your project.
Schematic Design: This is where the creative process takes off! We develop conceptual designs tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. We also facilitate preliminary pricing requests with local contractors.
Design Development: We refine the design and create a comprehensive set of drawings with material specifications and architectural details.
Interior Design: We help bring your interior spaces to life with color palettes, textures, fixtures, and finishes that reflect your style and daily routines.
Construction Documents: We prepare detailed architectural drawings—including plans, elevations, and sections—to guide the construction process. We also coordinate with structural engineers, interior designers, and contractors to ensure a smooth transition into the build phase.
6
Permitting
Navigating the permitting process can be complex, but we’ve got you covered. We handle the approvals, work with city officials, and ensure compliance with local codes.
7
Construction Administration
During construction, we collaborate with builders and consultants to ensure everything is executed as planned. We conduct site visits, troubleshoot any challenges, and make adjustments as needed—always keeping your vision and goals in focus.

“A seasoned pro and has that rare combination of a rational mind infused with exceptional creativity.” - Gudmundur Vigfusson, former client
Gabriel Guerriero is an architect dedicated to creating thoughtful, well-crafted spaces that enhance daily life. With 10 years of experience working at Architect Mason Kirby Inc. and a background in visual arts, Gabriel brings a refined aesthetic and intuitive approach to design.
At the core of Gabriel’s practice is a commitment to sensible design principles and compassionate communication. He believes architecture should resonate emotionally, solve problems, improve well-being, and create meaningful connections between people and their environments. His work is informed by a love for making art, travel, and community, as well as an appreciation for Italian food, good coffee, and the great outdoors.
Whether reimagining a home, designing an addition, or crafting a new dwelling, Gabriel approaches each project with care, ensuring that every space is tailored to the people who live in it.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Architecture is, above all, about people. It begins with listening—with empathy—and builds with layers of knowledge and understanding. At its core, design is a form of advocacy. It brings together materials, space, and purpose in service of something greater: multigenerational living, human connection, emotional well-being or simply creating a place that feels like home. We shape environments that mirror who we are and who we aspire to be. Our best work happens when design is deeply contextual—when it reflects real needs, resonates with personal values, and expresses our highest hopes for the future.
