Jay renovated our 100+ year old home and we could not recommend him highly enough. He has an incredible eye for design, function and the elements that make a house a home. Equally important; he listens, collaborates and executes down to the smallest detail. Some architects want their projects to reflect them, Jay makes sure the results reflect your vision. Finally, Jay's knowledge and relationships with the town of Los Gatos can greatly streamline projects and reduce costs. He's an excellent architect and beautiful examples of his work are all around town.

We selected Jay as our architect for a kitchen and family room remodel. We wanted something "wow", but without breaking the existing foot print of the house. We received proposals from other architects , and they all met the basic need, but didn't stir any passion. Jay on the other hand is filled with ideas and he clearly only wants to do extraordinary work. He not only met all our requirements, his creativity was instrumental in creating spaces that frankly we never want to leave! Jay is passionate about his ideas, but is easy to debate with and make collective decisions. Lastly, Jay is a perfectionist and proactively works with the contractors and designers to make sure every detail is just right throughout the entire project. While his prices are in line with the others, his capabilities and results are head and shoulders above. Thank you Jay!

Jay designed our craftsman style family home in Los Gatos. He was a delight to work with and did a superb job, creating open spaces, while still giving the home a comfortable and warm feeling. The home has been a pleasure to host family and friends in and a joy to live in.

Jay Plett is THE BEST architect for your Los Gatos property! Especially if you are in one of the town’s historic districts, you will need Jay’s guidance and expert advice to jump through all the hoops with the Town of Los Gatos planning committee and historic committee! No one else has the decades of experience that Jay does in navigating this process; his experience will save you lots of time, money and frustration working with the Town. Jay has excellent knowledge, great taste and is very kind and easy to work with. Contractors love him, too! Jay helped us with a historic tear down and remodel at 371 Pennsylvania Ave in the historic Glenridge district in Los Gatos and was simply a fabulous partner. We could not have done it without him!!
