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. -

When we decided to venture on our home addition project in Los Gatos we must have interviewed a dozen architects. We chose to work with Eyal and team and couldn't be happier with our decision. We're moving in this month and are incredibly satisfied with the result!
At our first meeting after signing Eyal prepared multiple layout plans for us to choose from, and even created 3D renderings for us to be able to visualize them. He thought of things we’d never be able to imagine, like the various angles of the vaulted ceiling, etc. He was very receptive to feedback and helped incorporate our never ending stream of ideas into the plans. We realized at the end that a home addition project is a series of difficult and permanent decisions, and having a professional like Eyal is a huge resource to rely on to ease that burden.
Overall, Eyal was all that we could have asked for in an architect. He was fast, knowledgable, and thoroughly detailed oriented. Our house is our biggest investment and we’re glad we picked somebody who could help us elevate it! -

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!!

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.

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.

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!

Prestin Ravid Architects exceeded our expectations in every aspect as first-time home buyers embarking on a substantial project with structural changes. Our experience with Eyal, the lead architect, was amazing.
Communication was key for us, and Eyal's dedication to keeping us informed and involved throughout the process was remarkable. He seamlessly guided us through various elements of the project, offering valuable advice on design considerations, best practices, and practical tips like recommending supply stores or cautioning us about potential pitfalls. We felt supported and informed which made a big difference in our confidence and peace of mind as clients.
On a personal level, we appreciated Eyal's approach to working with his clients. He took the time to understand our preferences, budget, and aspirations, and tailored his offerings to suit our unique requirements. His genuine care and excitement can be felt from the first introductory call to permits being approved. We highly recommend Eyal & Prestin Ravid Architects -

We interviewed several architects then 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. In this time, Eyal did an excellent job helping us make tradeoffs for various options and balancing our budget, while managing our expectations and the construction process. If you're looking for an architect firm you can trust, who has a passion for the details, represents your best interests to the rest of the team, and really cares about the project, give Urbancraft Architects a call. There were several cases where Eyal was very creative to customize solutions right for our lifestyle (eliminating stairs, making our mudroom most efficient, lighting). The home was completed on time and looks stunning. Eyal's architectural design features really opened our eyes to what's possible (vaulted ceilings with beams, open-concept living area, laundry closet, etc). Focused on results, a positive energy and a pleasure to work with - highly recommended.

If you've ever worked with the City before they inundate you with so much information it can be a little intimidating. I needed to find someone with experience, but also someone who would help me navigate through City requirements for my project. Throughout the entire process, Eyal maintained professionalism and addressed all of my questions. I requested a few floorplan design changes and not only was Eyal very accommodating he offered his opinions on what he thought would work best with the existing space. What I appreciated the most about working with Eyal was his patience and responsiveness. When the City came back with comments, Eyal and his team responded swiftly with the necessary changes for the plan re-submission. Despite delays due to COVID and the change to City protocol, we were still able to push through the review process relatively easily online. It was a huge learning experience and I'm glad I partnered with UrbanCraft on my project. 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.
