Testimonials

Gene Vernon, Tuscan Farmhouse

"DMHA did a great job for us. As a longtime custom home builder in Santa Barbara, I knew that designing a home for myself to build would be a challenge for any Architect. Michael and the DMHA team led us through the design and permitting process quickly, efficiently and cost effectively. We could not be more pleased with the final results.”

JUDY GERRARD PARTCH, DIRECT RELIEF

“Working with the entire DMHA team has been a very fruitful and rewarding experience. Since the complex nature of our state-of-the-art project has required a diverse team of professionals, they have worked collaboratively as an integral team member with over a dozen specialized consultants... Their presentations to our Board of Directors, our project leadership team as well as the City Architectural Review Board have utilized beautiful color rendered presentation drawings combined with inspirational reference imagery and three-dimensional REVIT computer documentations… DMHA has also been very receptive and responsive to our input as a function first driven client, and they have worked diligently to create a very beautiful yet cost effective building.”

Barbara Rosenblum, Strategic Healthcare programs

“We chose to work with Michael Holliday as I appreciate the value of an Architect that can help an extremely busy company leader through the design process and “make it happen” even given a tight budget and schedule. Michael and his team not only worked with us to come up with a truly inspired interior design but also brought the construction team in that could make that design a reality. We absolutely love our new place, it's a show piece and visitors are astounded with how the place has been transformed. What our architects have done is remarkable, particularly in light of the time and budget constraints on this project. They have created a place for us that suits our brand perfectly.“

Kip Bradley, Daketta Pacific

“It is an honor for us to offer a recommendation for Mike Holliday and Holliday & Associates. We have worked with Mike and his company as they have been the lead architects on a major remodel of a prominent office building we own in downtown Santa Barbara. Mike is friendly, easy to get along with, very creative and artistic, and seems to have a good working relationship with, and respect for, our local municipality and its decision makers. From other projects we have seen, his interior tenant improvement designs are extremely cutting edge with creative uses of materials, colors, and shapes. I think he has done an excellent job designing our streamlined, yet classy, project. He has delivered on time and within his proposed budget each step of the way. In addition, we do not question Mike’s integrity or moral character. In all of our dealings he has been honest and above reproach. These qualities are sometimes hard to find or are compromised during difficult times but they are never in question with Mike.”

Steven K. Fedde, Sares-Regis Group

“Michael Holliday has worked with our company on many projects at Cabrillo Business Park and Hollister Center in Goleta, providing Architectural Services for various building and tenant improvements projects. Michael’s designs are creative and innovative. Working closely with the construction & architectural teams, we have implemented these designs in a cost effective manner, providing cutting edge & efficient space to the end user to enjoy for years to come. We look forward to the opportunity to work with DMHA Architecture + Interior Design on new projects in the future.”

Mike and Diana Wilson, Zen Hacienda Residence

“When our home of 20 years on Coyote Road burned in the Tea Fire, we were initially devastated. We’d raised our family there. The house itself was nothing special but the site is a piece of Santa Barbara heaven and over the years we’d made it our own. After the fire, we attended many community sessions on rebuilding and heard multiple presentations from various architects and builders. The first thing that stood out about DMHA was Michael’s exceedingly positive outlook that got us out of the doldrums and engaged in more positive aspects of the redesign process. And that process was delightful! It was thorough and focused on core attributes of our property as well as what we most wanted to achieve with our rebuild.”
