Recognition

Absolute perfection as an Architect! Christian has always been great to work with. He is dedicated, timely and professional. His creativity is exceptional and it shows in each of his projects. I highly recommend him!

Coronado Client

As owners of a build/design company, when it came time to build our own personal home, we knew we wanted to work with the highly respected Christian Rice as our architect. We have worked with Christian now on four home projects… two our own personal residences and two spec builds. We keep going back to Christian because he is professional, reliable, prompt, talented and easy to work with. In fact, to own or purchase a “Christian Rice” home is something coveted and sought after by both homeowners and prospective homeowners alike.

Client

The entire process from design of the house to the build was effortless with Christian. He is a consummate professional. I strongly recommend him without reservation. Alterations to the house design was smoothly transitioned into the final plans by Christian. His creativity and insight into styles and design made for a beautiful house. He was on site to monitor ands supervise the build many times a week to make sure the details were just right. I really can't complement him enough... he is worth the wait if not immediately available.

Client

My wife and I had a great experience with Christian. Christian was patient and open to our ideas and had a great way of letting us know what we may want to reconsider or how we could make our ideas even better. If we ever are in need of an architect, we will use Christian again and we are always recommending him to others.

Client

Christian Rice Architects exceeded all our expectations. At our first meeting Christian's demeanor, genuine interest and obvious professionalism set us at ease and fostered a creative collaboration. He guided us step by step though the process, was attentive to all our questions and was able to bring our ideas to life. We are so grateful we found Christian and we love our new home!
