“It was so easy to work with Kathryn Rogers and her staff at Sogno Design Group. We love her taste. The new part of our home is our favorite place to hang out. We hope to remodel our kitchen in the future, and plan to hire her back!”
– Katrina

 

“To this day I don’t really know how Kathy Rogers got such a functional and beautiful bathroom into such a small space on our second floor. But she did. She also made a couple of changes to the design of the stairs leading to our second floor that turned it from something that felt like just a stairway to now something that feels more like a … cathedral. Small tweaks – huge difference.”
– Clem

 

“Kathy Rogers of Sogno Design Group: easy to work with, prioritizes green construction, conscious of limited budgets like ours, has beautiful ideas/visions/plans. The remodel transformed our home into a much more livable space. She worked quite well with the contractor we hired, and communicated with both all of us very effectively. As a mom, she understands the practical aspects of planning. As a former carpenter, she understands construction. ”
– Marguerite

 

“Kathy Rogers assisted us with a remodel. We wanted a design that was beautiful but also kid-friendly and she came up with some suggestions that could hold up to kid traffic but still look cool. She gets to know you and makes suggestions based on what she thinks will work for your family. An expert on green design, Kathy helped us create a deck in terracotta and Mexican tiles that is jaw-dropping beautiful and has transformed our yard!”
– Carrie

 

“I can’t say enough about Kathy Rogers. Our space – basement room addition, kitchen expansion and redesign, and a deck – is gorgeous. Functional space with lovely details. Kathy was responsive to our ideas and concerns (esp. $$ concerns), but knew when to push us. She and her crew were very easy to work with and very knowledgeable about the city of Berkeley permitting process.”
– Heather

 

“We appreciate Kathy’s design for the bathroom + all the advice she and her associates provided along the way. As a result the bathroom is truly gorgeous! We are so happy we hired Sogno!”

– Maxene and Neal

 

“We had a fantastic experience working with architect Kathy Rogers of Sogno Design Group over the last year and a half, and are absolutely delighted with the results of the large scale remodel of our home in Berkeley.
Kathy really listened to our needs and came up with creative ways to make use of a lot of wasted space in our home, which had been badly remodeled in the 1980′s. We now feel that our home is not only beautiful and functional but also ”family-friendly”. She was very sensitive to our budget, helping us sort out which items to spend more on and which items to walk away from.
When we had smaller questions and details to sort out, her staff was always available to help us. We can’t imagine having been in better hands.”
– Pamela

 

“Kerstin has a wonderful sense of design that is at once simple, practical and beautiful. She is also friendly and responsive to work with.”
– Ellen

 

“It was a pleasure to work with Kerstin,… a very thoughtful and detail-oriented architect… an excellent listener throughout our planning process… Even with time pressures… she kept her cool despite the stress! I would definitely work with her again!”
– Sandra Ann

 

“We first worked with Kerstin 8 years ago on a kitchen and bathroom remodel…worked with her again for an upstairs bathroom remodel four years later, [and then]… an entertainment area remodel two years ago [preserving what had been a speakeasy back in the day, original bar included]. I can only say that the next project we have we will work with Kerstin… She has great design ideas and solutions and we feel completely at ease when she is in charge of our house projects”
