"Synthesis has been terrific. Abeer Sweis and her staff (Georgeanna, Donna and Jacqueline) have more than helped me remodel and re-decorate my house; they have preserved my sanity throughout the process. I have found them to be talented, conscientious and thoroughly professional. They are great at listening and then following through. They pay close attention to detail and have consistently protected my interests when dealing with third parties such as carpenters and window covering installers. Throughout it all, they have respected my budget and their fees have been fair and clearly itemized."

"We wanted a company that understood and would enhance our goals and ideas. After interviewing a number of architects, Syn.The.Sis was the obvious choice. At our first meeting, Abeer came fully prepared with City documents and pictures of our building as well as her portfolio of previous projects. We commissioned them to design our contemporary 2 level 14000 square foot residential loft. We were amazed by the enthusiasm shown to our project. Our dream, became their dream project. After a few meetings the architects were able to fully understand our vision and run with it as well as giving us a Virtual Walk through. Syn.the.Sis is truly a one stop shop including helping us navigate through City Building and Planning departments often going to appointments and furnishing us with a complete recap of the requirements, dialogue and their feelings of how the project was being perceived. We are extremely happy with all aspects of this company and highly recommend for any job."

"A firm that has great energy and good talent, client sensitive and is good with listening; with carrying vision into possibility. I've recommended them to other people."
- Kevin, Long Beach, CA
"Abby and her staff have been delightful to work with. She incorporated virtually all of our requests into a lovely second story addition floor plan and included many thoughtful details that we never even thought of. I have already recommended her to several friends and intend to continue our working relationship throughout construction and plans next year for a complete kitchen remodel. I feel very fortunate to have connected with such a talented and creative architect."
- Linda Reminger, Rossmoor CA
"Abby's team did a fabulous job of coordinating things. Anything that was requested, like a drawing change, or adaptations were handled quickly. The group was really, really responsive."
- Carol, Huntington Beach, CA
"We feel so fortunate that we found them. They have made some changes... that have been really positive and have made a huge difference. Some changes were small, but the overall effect was huge."
- Donna, Malibu, CA
"At the end of the project, I had a perfect and beautiful custom designed home suited ideally to my specific needs, lifestyle and requirements."

"After interviewing ten Los Angeles firms I hired Synthesis to produce the architectural documents necessary for TSNY to gain permitting for an early 2008 installation on the Santa Monica Pier. Because I was managing a large construction project in NYC, it was imperative that whomever I hired for the Santa Monica work be capable and fully engaged. This project had the added difficulty of being high profile. Defining for the building department and city government agencies the exact nature of a trapeze school's operations is no small challenge, making it palatable for public use is a vastly more challenging task. Abeer was not only timely and expert in her execution and presentation of documents; she went the extra mile and became first the liaison and then ambassador for the project. The team at Synthesis made achieving our goals so manageable in fact, it was a no brainer to award them the turnkey management, permitting, oversight, design of key structural elements and the full scope of general contracting for the school's installation. Under Abeer's direction, we successfully completed permitting in record time. Having addressed our many challenges with her calm, experienced and friendly approach I am pleased to recommend Abeer and her team. They have set the standard for future hires by outdoing our expectations. With great respect and appreciation for a job well done."
