gi paoletti design lab

"This is our 6th project in San Francisco and our first time working with Gi. After this experience we plan to work with her on the next and future projects. She has been fantastic! She helped us identify the best way to go about working with the city, our GC and most importantly she delivered our project on time and on budget. She has been a pleasure to work with."

Nate Valentine, Vintage 415

"Working with Gi was such an enjoyable experience. Not only did she produce creative designs for the store, but she also was extremely innovative in designing practical solutions for our small space. I was extremely impressed by her dedication, resourcefulness, and utmost professionalism throughout the entire process, all the while maintaining a calm and pleasant demeanor. I highly recommend Gi for design needs and will definitely work with her again in the future."

Peter Yen, Sushirrito

"Gi Paoletti is simply amazing. She was my architect, designer, and project manager. I respected her talents and expertise, and trusted her to be my advocate. Anyone who has gone through any remodeling project must know of the high anxiety and drama that goes with that experience. Gi took great care to insure that every detail in the planning and construction of my remodeled home was of the highest caliber. Gi is extremely professional, talented, creative, and a stickler for details. I would recommend Gi over any other architect-designer in the business. She listened to my vision of what I wanted my home to be, and she used her incredible sense of style and color to transform my house from ‘special’ to ‘spectacular!’

"Gi is an extraordinary designer. She presented me with ideas that I didn't know were possible. Most importantly, she executed them with an impressive level of precision and professionalism. She has a great eye for design. Furthermore, she was very good at negotiating with the city and helping to navigate and expedite the building plan approval process.”

Steve Velardi

“Gi, is a very talented designer. She is very determined and works hard and expects no less than from those she works with. I had the pleasure of working with her and her team on a project in San Francisco and she was right there working along side us. I found this determination and passion a great asset for any team. In her role as Principal of her own design company I also have no hesitation in recommending her work to any client/owner who may be looking for a designer. For as I said previously her determination and passion ultimately was for the client and providing the best design possible.”

John Finkell

“Gi understands the value that true teamwork can bring to a project. Her excellent interpersonal skills, combined with her talent and passion for design, makes for an enjoyable working relationship.”

I highly recommend working with Gi. After two less-than-pleasant experiences with architects, we were delighted when Gi was recommended to us by our stellar mortgage broker. Come to find out, not only is she great at the normal architect things (designing our home to optimize the space and its functionality in an aesthetically pleasing manner), but she's incredibly responsive, flexible, patient, and has great taste. She has been very responsive to our desire to be "as green as we can afford to be", and has provided several innovative solutions that would have never occurred to us! (Hello, heating ceiling fan... I'm talking about you!) Her fees are fair and reasonable and she's just plain delightful to work with. It is clear that she sincerely cares about her projects, the outcomes, and the happiness of her clients.

“Gi Paoletti Design Lab turned our bathroom remodel around and handled the permit process quickly and effectively. She created a solution we didn't know was possible.”

Eileen Ambre

“Gi did a fabulous job staging our house to sell. She was very creative using some of our own furniture but bringing in key items to make our place look great. She was very easy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone.”
