“…deserving of more attention than all the new downtown Oakland high rises combined.”
“Every element is fresh and inventive…”
“As in any first-class work of art, the degree of unity is remarkable.”
“…sheer refinement…masterpiece…lighthearted at its extreme best”
–East Bay Express, April 13, 1990

“The first time we met I told Charles what I wanted and was ecstatic when he immediately came up with a few ideas that were terrific, I had found my architect. His attention to all the marvelous details was amazing. Without Charles, the studio would never have been the wonderful space it was. For over 20 years it was an inspiration to me, it felt great to work there and I never got tired of watching the natural light change and throw different patterns against the walls. The uniqueness and timelessness of the design made it extremely difficult for me to give up the space and to this day I miss my studio. ”
