“We used Jim Borelli to design a home for us in Tahoe at Northstar. We chose him over two other architects and are really glad we did! He is smart, creative, tech savvy, and really easy to work with. He is always prepared and on time to meetings. One of the things we appreciated the most about Jim is the fact that he is willing to listen to ideas we have and change the design if something isn’t working for us. He also is well regarded and well respected by our contractor and foreman which helps make the job run more smoothly.”

“We would definitely use him again should the opportunity present itself.”
