Testimonials

As a designer, I have worked with Kai and his team on many projects throughout the years and I have witnessed the amazing growth he and his firm have experienced. Kai is not only a fantastic architect but also an excellent human being to work with! His design processes are on point and he and his team are involved with his clients and the builder throughout the entire project – and beyond. Needless to say, the homeowners were thrilled with the end result. I would highly recommend Kai and his team for any project whether it be residential or commercial. – Shelley Grabowski

I’ve worked with Kai for many years as an architectural woodwork provider (timber trusses and complex beam systems), and have provided these products for dozens of his plans through multiple custom builders. Kai and his team are very easy to work with and incredibly responsive to all inquiries. The level of accuracy, detail, creativity and thought that go into Geschke designs are as good as you could ever hope to find in an architect. I highly recommend Kai and his team! – Doug Foxworth

As we looked for a local architect, we interviewed and met with a number of different top ranked architects, including the Geschke Group. Kai was referred to us by a few different people in the industry, so we had some higher expectations. Their comments were that Kai’s designs were not just beautiful homes, but extremely well planned out. After meeting with Kai, we looked no further. He was very patient with us and was very generous with his time and expertise. We have found that he does design some truly timeless homes without sacrificing the importance of a great layout. We wouldn’t recommend anyone else for our projects and look forward to working with him again in the future. – Christi Hasselberg

Kai and his team were wonderful to work with. He listened and understood exactly what we wanted and needed. We are loving our home. Kai is the best architect in the area. We did a lot of intensive research and interviewing of architects before choosing Kai, and it paid off as Kai is the best! We recommend him to everyone we talk to. He brought our dream home to reality. – Holly Furney

Working with Geschke Group was a very positive experience. Kai listened carefully to our ideas, offered suggestions on how our vision could become reality and created a beautiful and functional design. One of the best aspects of working with Kai and his team was their clear and consistent communication. Everyone we encountered took time to listen to our questions and provided specific and complete answers. Kai worked with our builder to ensure everything was executed according to plan, with very few hiccups long the way. There is no doubt that if we ever build another home Kai will be our first call. – DB Dancer

Kai and his firm were fantastic to work with. He designed the home of our dreams based on our inspiration photos and the topography of our lot. The communication was seamless between Kai, my builder, and us. Even years after the project was complete, he has always been very helpful answering any questions that come up. I would recommend the Geschke Group wholeheartedly for anyone looking to build a high-quality home. – Osei Asamoah

My wife and I think Kai Geschke is the absolute best! We really appreciated his attention to detail and professionalism all while being great fun. The design of our home is so beautiful while keeping functionality in mind. Kai captured the stunning views, preserved the big trees and made sure natural light filtered in every space. A true creative genius! – Jorge de Cardenas

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience throughout our home design process. Kai and his team are so generous with their creative ideas but also honest with feedback about solutions that align to what you want to accomplish and how you hope to use your space. We wouldn’t ever consider another architect for future projects because this was such a great experience and everyone compliments us on the architecture of our home. – Cristin Damon

Kai and his team are amazing. We have been in our home over 10 years and continue to get compliments on every aspect of the design. The Geschke Group is much more than just great at design work as their service and attentiveness to what the client desires is excellent. – Bobby Hillin

Kai walked us through our home design and it was an incredible experience! From listening to our ideas to bringing up possibilities we hadn’t even thought about, Kai’s detail-oriented design of our home surpassed our expectations! The extra storage, the thoughtful layout, and beautiful addition. If we ever build again, it will be designed by Kai! – Kati Epps

Geschke Group Architecture listened intently to our ideas about the Spanish inspired home we wanted to build in the hill country of Texas, and designed the most gorgeous floor plan we could have imagined. Kai Geschke is so easy to work with and so knowledgeable. My husband and I purchased acreage years ago and have been dreaming of the home we would build on this land we love so much ever since. Kai knocked it out of the ballpark! The home he designed has elegance and warmth and it flows beautifully from one room to the next…it even flows flawlessly to the outdoors. Kai puts in a lot of attention to the details…arches, decorative windows, stone surrounds, art niches and lots of other features that really wowed us. He melds function and beauty flawlessly. We will begin our dream home within the next month. We highly recommend Geschke Group Architecture. – Tammie Hansen

As a custom homebuilder, our company, Laurel Haven Homes, has worked with Kai and his team on many projects. Kai is a super-talented architect and a pleasure to work with. Kai’s plans are not only creative and beautiful but also technically precise. Top notch! – Gary Grambley

Kai was great to work with throughout the entire process. He was very responsive and had some wonderful ideas. Even our builder said his design and plans were top notch. We would definitely recommend him and would use him again if we ever build another home. – Andee Bubela

Kai and Geschke Architects did a great job on our Hill Country German style house. This is our second home to build. Kai is very detailed and we talked through every facet and every detail. We would recommend him to others. – Brett Gilbreath

Kai Geschke and his team are true professionals. Listening to a client express their needs / dreams and translating that into something that can be executed by a custom builder is an art. We would gladly and gratefully work with Kai again. He has created two custom homes for our family. – Michael Christman

My wife and I met with Kai one time and provided a few pictures and general concepts of how and what we wanted our dream house to look like. Kai took that information, went to work, and a couple weeks later showed us what he came up with. It was 100% exactly what we wanted! He didn’t miss a single detail and made a few recommendations/suggestions that we hadn’t thought of (since we’d never designed a custom home before). In short, Kai made what could have been a nervous/hassle experience for us extremely easy and actually a lot of fun. We HIGHLY recommend Kai as your architect!! – Joe Areddy

Kai designed our house about 17 years ago. He was easy and pleasant to work with and actually listened to what we wanted and incorporated it into our house design. He added a breakfast room that I sing his praises for weekly because of the clever design. Many people visit my home and tell me that the design just works. I would gladly work with Kai again. – Carol Birsa

Having worked with architects in my career I can attest that working with Kai was a distinct pleasure. My wife and I gave him our requirements, which were many, and he delivered flawlessly. Changes were easy and fast as were answers to questions during construction. We wholeheartedly recommend Kai’s group. – Jorge Luis Babot

Kai and his entire team are simply top notch! It is rare to work with someone so creative, thorough, cost conscience and customer service oriented. Their design ideas are unreal – I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Our family has had nothing but a positive experience and would work with Geschke Group again hands down! – Brent Ball

As a custom home design and build team, my husband and I have had the opportunity to work with various architects and Kai and his team are always top notch from start to finish. Their design style is timeless and the detailing in their drawings allows for seamless construction. – Morgan Earles

Kai designed my house over 5 years ago! Our house is still very current and designed so well. Several of my friends have used Kai as well. I would certainly use Kai on my next project. – Brian Hooker

The Geschke Group did an amazing job on architecting our home. As we went through the construction process our builder continually made note of how little mistakes were made in the planning of the home. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail, there were no awkward corners, and nothing was out of order. When the home finally started to take shape we realized how well of a job was actually done by Kai and his group during the planning stage. – Tim Ennis

As a custom home Builder I have the opportunity to work with several architects, Kai and the team are fantastic to work with, communication is key in this industry and they are seamless. The style and design they bring to the table is current but will stand the test of time on value. I highly recommend Geschke Group Architecture for your next project. – Dustin Baxter

There are many great architects out their but when working with Kai you get a talented architect and a family friend, because before he designs your future home he wants to know you and your family, what is important to you, separately what is important to your spouse, and then what is important to your kids. You get a family home, whatever a family looks like for, and you get an architectural masterpiece. – Mossy Bateson

Kai and his Group are super at details and creativity! They really listen to the client’s vision and then they go from there to create a dream home! We are so blessed to be working with them! – Pam Atkins

Great firm to work with. The finished design exceeded our expectations! From the big picture to the little details everything was perfect. – Amanda Gray

As a luxury home developer, we strive for excellence in our projects and have reasonable, but high expectations. Working with Kai Geschke on a project was a game changer for us, especially in his level of detail, exceptional layout of high-end homes and the ability to work with consult with him when we need to pivot or have moments of confusion on a project and he always provides the clarity to be confident in our decisions about a design. He is extremely honest in his opinions, but is compassionate in understanding your needs. It is a rare quality to find everything right in business, but Kai keeps it simple to make it all work properly. His designs are timeless, but his layouts can’t be beat. Usually you will find a room that just doesn’t makes sense, the leftover space or lack of that leads to the proportional wrong room in a house. Somehow, Kai always seems to figure it out and in most cases, there just isn’t something off. We think the world of Kai as a person and love his work. He deserves a few more stars if possible. – Christi

The best architect around! Kai designed us our dream home. He was professional to work with and we our loving our home. We would highly recommend Kai ,and we do, to everyone we talk too! – Holly Furney

Kai and his team are amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience throughout our home design process. He’s everything you want in an architect, someone who is both honest and creative. He provides feedback about solutions that align to what you want to accomplish and how you hope to use your space. We will never consider another architect for future projects because it was so much fun to work with him and it was an all-around great experience and outcome. Everyone compliments us on the architecture of the home. – Christin Damon

We had many referrals leading us to Geschke Group when building our home in Burton, Texas. From start to finish, working with Kai Geschke was timely, seamless and on budget. Kai is extremely talented and personal which is a unique combination. He had a strong desire to create the perfect home for us and explained the process from beginning to end. I would strongly recommend he and his firm again. – Kristinerizzo

After searching for more time then I care to admit, I came across Geschke Group Architecture’s website. The house plans showed the attention to detail that was missing from my efforts to find the vision that would be our home. We started with an existing plan and working with Kai and John was an excellent experience. There was an openness to our ideas with healthy, ” you can do that but did you consider this?” moments. We have completed construction in the fall. Throughout the construction phase our contracture, framer, window source, drywall team all commented on the attention to detail and accuracy in our home plans….thanks to Kai. Truly at this firm there is an eye for beauty. Just look at the homes on their site and that becomes obvious. But there is also a great eye for function, for lighting, for character and uniqueness. I recommend them without reservation. Thank you Kai and John for a wonderful home. – Anonymous

We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Kai on our new project. He has great ideas and easily incorporated what we wanted into the design. He has been easy to work with, available, and quick to turn around updates. – Alisa Golson

My builder recommended Kai Geschke Group to develop the architectural plans for our new home in Austin. We were very pleased with the process and results. Kai was very focused on ensuring he understood upfront what were our needs and wants, and met with us twice to review everything before starting the project. He was very organized and captured all our input the first time. We were expecting a longer turnaround time, but he came back with a first draft within 3 weeks, utilizing a previous design as a starting point which ended up saving us time and money. Towards the end we made some changes to the design, which he turned around quickly as to not delay the start of construction. Their rates were very reasonable, and their work was of excellent quality. Would recommend them and use them again in a heartbeat. – Anonymous

Absolutely Love Kai and his team. They were very easy to work with and always available. He is honest about letting you know what will and will not work for your home. Kai was also very helpful if helping us with builders and engineers. The house he designed for us is perfect in every way! There truly is “No Place Like Home” in a Geschke Group designed house. – Deb L

My wife and I can honesty say that the experience working with Kai and the Geschke Group team has been unmatched. This is the 5th custom home that we have built so we have a good perspective on the design process. Kai and his team listens, communicates well and has the ability to carry out your vision in all aspects. Yet, their ideas take it to a whole new level. Our dream home design resulted in a home that is far better than we ever anticipated and turned out well beyond our expectations. The attention to detail is amazing. Kai and team focus on the design attributes that make a home unique yet efficient. We wanted something beyond the norm and got it! We’re most impressed with their team approach and their client responsiveness is unlike any we’ve experienced before. If we ever build another home, it will be another Geschke Group project!! – Brent Ball

I can’t imagine a better experience with an architect. We had a very difficult situation where we were living in Australia and trying find plans to build on our property in Spicewood when we retired from the navy. Kai made what we had heard to be a painful and expensive process fun. We love our plans, our builder loves our plans and he tells us these are the best, most detail oriented plans he’s ever used. This is hopefully our last home after 25 years in the navy, but if we ever move and build again, we’re using Geschke. – Anonymous

Geschke Group Architecture truly takes the time to get to know each client’s new home vision! They are are easy to work with listening to all individual client’s project needs and wants! The result to this Geschke Group simple process truly delivers an amazingly awesome new, creative set of home plans! – Anonymous

We were from out of state and planned to move to Austin to retire. As a part of our plan, we reached out to Kai over two years ago to discuss housing designs, his team were one of many of the fine choices we had available in the Austin Area. When we finally retired in Austin (Early January), we approached Kai, he was the only architect that we contacted who had previously allowed us access to his portfolio of designs, which we used to narrow our preferred design choices, ideas and possibilities. After we selected one of his designs from his portfolio we asked him to make a number of structural and physical changes to customize the house to our particular needs and ideas. The result is that we now have a “custom home” based on modifications we requested and instead of paying an enormous fee to have a completely new design from scratch, we now have our “forever home” for a fraction of the cost of a complete redesign. During the process, Kai was very responsive and we had very quick turnarounds from converting ideas to a fully-fledged design. I would highly recommend Kai and his team. They may be a small boutique firm, but they punch way above their weight and at a cost that is affordable and very good value for your invested dollar. I cant say enough good things about our experience with the Geschke Group. – Papa Rosie

Kai was so amazing and help us design such a beautiful and timeless home for our family. He is great to work with and made our dream list become a reality. We loved working with him and his team. – Amy Shannon

We had a fantastic experience with Kai. He was easy to work with and had great suggestions to help us get to the plans we wanted. Our builder has also been very pleased with the detail he provides in his plans. I would highly recommend Geschke Group Architecture, not only for the beautiful designs they provide, but also their excellent customer service. – Kristin Rhoades

Kai and all the staff at Geschke Group are a such a pleasure to work with. They are incredibly responsive and thoughtful with an absolute focus on delivering the perfect plans for whatever your vision. We’ve designed two homes with Kai and wouldn’t work with anyone else! – Michael Reilly

From the outset, I found Kai Geschke to be open and honest about his capabilities and ability to deliver quality plans in a timely manner. In this market, having the ability to rely on an Architect to deliver plans on a committed timeline allowed us to line up a builder for efficient construction of our home. We were impressed with Kai’s ability to translate our sometimes confusing thoughts into a plan that captured the “wow” facture we were looking for in our home. His attention to detail is extraordinary and we found him easily assessible for questions and impromptu meetings. We are very pleased with the process and outcome of our home designed by Kai. Highly recommend Geschke Group Architecture! – Joe Boyer

I’ve worked with Kai and his group for years from spec homes to custom homes and I just love their ideas and communication. Kai’s knowledge is extraordinary and they go above the call of duty with their service. Kai is very forward thinking and takes careful consideration with the land and surroundings, my ideas and vision… and reality. I really appreciate his open mind and attention to every detail that has made each project a success. Thank you so much for being the top professional in Austin! – Clay Byrne

Working with Kai at Geschke Group has been a dream. He’s attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, creative, and listens to what the client is really saying. Starting our home building process with Geschke Group was the best investment so far. Kai made the design process easy, painless, and fun- and was reassuring during the building process. If I ever had a question, he was quick to respond and help even if we hadn’t spoke in months. We have received so many compliments on the design of our home. No matter how wonderful the builder is, you only get what you design. That has made Geschke the best decision we made in our home building journey. I couldn’t recommend them any higher. – J’Layne Kemp

We live in Austin part time and needed an architect we could genuinely trust. Kai has designed two homes us and we couldn’t be happier! The Houzz 5 star rating is undoubtedly earned. – Anonymous

Kai and his team were so knowledgeable and easy to work with, especially from a distance. We were able to email, call, and facetime with him and get everything done we needed and more. They were always quick to respond and provided customer service that went above and beyond. I have and will continue to recommended him. Thanks for all y’all have done for us! – Amy Berry

Kai is incredibly detailed, personable, efficient, and highly reputable. We were introduced to Kai through our friends who had a great experience seeing their ideas come to life in their new home. Our home construction has just started and the architectural design process was incredibly smooth. We were impressed with the fact that he provided such detailed input on our home design, using ideas from his recent trip to Europe, that were implemented in our project. If we ever build again, Kai Geschke will be the architect. – Jeremy Leland

Kai and his staff (Geschke Group) are consummate professionals who were referred to us by multiple builders and friends. Kai recommended and modified one of his existing custom home designs and tailored them to our needs saving both time and money. Within four weeks from our first visit, Kai delivered the final plan design to begin the build. Our house is currently being built and the details incorporated from the plan look beautiful. Once completed we will provide pictures to Kai to add to his portfolio and we would recommend his expertise/services to anyone. – Allen Vaughn

Kai and team designed our home and we could not have been happier. It turned out exactly like we had dreamed. When we build again we will call Geschke for sure. Kai gives the best advice and his designs are clean and functional. We could not have been happier with them. – Allen Shannon

We hired Kai to design our dream home and he did not disappoint. He and his team have been nothing but wonderful! We are in the beginning stages of building, and wont be done til July of 2020, and Kai has come out and talk with us, guided us and answered any questions we have had. Our home will most definitely stand out as a one of a kind and be admired by all…due to Kai and his team. If you are looking for an Architect….look no further. – Susan Springer

Third time was a charm! We had worked with two other architects and weren’t able to get what we wanted. When we met with Kai our experience was totally different. Instead of getting a plan for a house the architect wanted to see built we got the house design we wanted. Kai is easy to work with and secure with himself. He’s incredibly talented and does not feel a need to tell you. Our experience could not have been better. Within an hour of meeting him, he had taken our ideas and gave form and substance to our concepts and added so – so much more to the mix. Next month we will move into a house that is a dream come true – thanks to Kai Geschke. – Tom Campbell

When we started our design project I quickly realized that I only had a very general concept of what we wanted to end up with. Kai had already visited our lot and had evaluated its strengths and challenges. He was excellent at guiding us through the process in a methodical, step-by-step manner. From start to finish, he was actively engaged. Kai’s calm, self-assured manner, borne of experience, inspires confidence and takes the trepidation out of an otherwise daunting undertaking. I was very pleased with the entire process. I am confident in recommending him and his firm and I would not hesitate to engage him again. – Dave Crist

Working with Kai Geschke and his group was an exciting and reassuring experience. My concepts were incorporated into the house design with excellent attention to detail. Every question I had was answered with care and creativity. And the level of knowledge about construction methods and costs was outstanding and up to date. The set of construction plans I received exceeded expectations. Kai takes great interest in how the house is coming along and is a readily available member of the team to consult with for clarification of matters as they come up. With an approximate project cost of $2.500,000.00 Kai”s work adds confidence to the entire process. Awesome architectural firm!! – Kathene Crist

This is the only review I have every written and it is long overdue. I can honestly say that Kai is by far the most professional, talented and pleasant person we worked with throughout our 3+ year project. Kai was supportive throughout, even making a site visit 2 years after the original design was complete! His designs are not only extremely beautiful, but equally functional. Kai is the only architect I have ever recommended and the only architect I would work with again. Thank you Geschke Group for an outstanding job! – David and Julie Gayler

My wife and I began planning to build a modern Farmhouse over 5 years ago and first found an amazing piece of land. We started doing architectural research and Houzz became an invaluable resource. The pictures that consistently caught our attention were all homes done by Kai Geschke. We met with Kai and found him to be a very genuine person, very passionate in particular about the farmhouse style inspired by his German roots. Kai worked with us to take an existing plan and customize it to make the changes we wanted in a very time efficient manner. As we had never built a custom home before, he did an excellent job to highlight cost and value which was very helpful in staying in our budget. Kai was very receptive to answering questions from our builder as they had not previously worked together and answered emails very promptly. My wife and I have been living in our home for about 6 weeks now and we couldn’t be happier. The open concept is amazing and I can truly say that there really is no square foot “wasted”. Every part of the house flows together beautifully. I would recommend Kai Geschke without hesitation. Talented, professional, and engaged in his work. – Dr Paul and Cherie Holman

Kai and his team designed our beautiful modern farmhouse in Driftwood, TX. From start to finish. When we decided to build, my wife and I would visit the parade of homes around the hill country to see if there was a particular builder we continued to like. However, what we found was the homes we kept being drawn to for the quality, uniqueness, special design and openness was all designed by Kai and his team. Builders use the top of the top when doing those parade homes. I then decided to inquire with Kai and his team for design services. I can honestly say he was the easiest and nicest business owner to deal with. We truly felt like we were his only customers. He answered numerous questions via phone and email before we ever even met in person. He was extremely knowledgeable and was also current on what construction and finish out cost are in the area. This was extremely helpful in us not getting in over our head. Our builder said Kai’s Blueprints are the most builder friendly and detailed he has ever used. They have actually teamed up on additional projects since. It was such a fun and enjoyable process. Easy. Professional. Quick. – Anonymous

When researching plans for our custom home build in Dallas, TX, my husband came upon Geschke Group’s sample plans and completed houses on Houzz. Their style of home and attention to detail were exactly what we were looking for in an architect but couldn’t find locally. We contacted the company and drove down to Austin to discuss having them draw up plans for us. We could not have been happier with how easy and enjoyable the process was. Kai Geschke sat down with us, listened to all of our concerns and wants, and then delivered the perfect set of plans for us. We highly recommend this company! – Alona Finch

Kai is a wonderful architect! He did our plans for a home for us in Barton Creek (Austin, TX) and we are having him do a second home for us in the Highlands (Coeur d’ Alene, ID). Kai is very reasonably priced, thorough, timely, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend using him. – Stephanie Brown

Kai took on our project with very short notice. Working with him and his staff was a very pleasant experience. He is a very talented Architect. He was always receptive to our thoughts and ideas. The communication was great as he always returned calls and emails promptly. My wife and I highly recommend his services. – Frank Lezu

We are currently constructing our second custom home using Mr. Geschke’s architectural design and have nothing but great things to say about his vision, efficiency, and attention to detail. Our first Geschke home, constructed in 2012, continues to receive compliments from neighbors and visitors. He has a talent for combining aesthetics with sensible and practical spatial arrangements. Mr. Geschke and his team have always provided a welcoming environment for planning and have always demonstrated precision in meeting our deadlines and budgetary goals. We cannot think of a more suitable choice for our current and future architectural needs. Thank you Kai for providing a warm and welcoming home for our family. – Matthew S

Kai and all his employees are a joy to work with. What we enjoyed the most is the thorough understanding of our needs while we are designing our first custom home, the absolute professionalisms and open communication. With no doubt would we recommend this company! – Sylvia Noha

We have worked with Geschke Group on multiple projects with great success. The floor plans are well designed and always current with the trends. As a builder, I have confidence that the plans will come together seamlessly. Kai is really easy to work with and makes the entire process enjoyable. Thanks guys for all your hard work! – Charles Martin Custom Homes

Kai and his team were thoughtful with design and programming on a rather large project. Even though the square footage was high, the spaces were scaled appropriately. He and his team were professional at every turn and very collaborative. I highly recommend Kai, you will be thrilled with the outcome! – AE Interiors

I can’t say enough about this group of architects. Kai is exceptional in taking what the customer wants and putting it on paper. Having our third house designed by this firm makes the building process so much easier due to the details in his plans. – Jana Birdwell

We worked with Kai and his team on two different projects and he was wonderful both times. He and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we were heard and together we created a house we love! Not only is he very professional he’s also just an overall wonderful person. It’s hard to find someone who genuinely cares about his clients as much as he does. I would hands down recommended Kai and his team!! I promise you will not be disappointed. – Anonymous

Our Texas farmhouse, designed by Kai and his team, is currently under construction. We had an amazing experience with The Geschke Group last year. Kai has the ability to listen to client concepts and turn them into a functional and beautiful plan. Our contractor, who has over 30 years of experience, says that the plan is exceptionally designed and extremely detailed. Eric and I highly recommend Kai and his team. – Eric and Jenifer Sones

Kai Geschke and his team were outstanding. His ability to understand what we wanted and create something amazing was unbelievable. He listened to our needs and our wants, looked at all my personal sketches, and came up with something that was beyond our expectations. When he thought something we wanted could be improved, omitted or changed, he let us know his reasons, made suggestions, and the finished product is more than we could ever have imagined. He is very particular in his work, as well as price conscious, both in his fees as well as building costs. I personally am a very detail-oriented person with a strong personality, and Kai meshed with me as easily as he did the rest of my easy-going family. No matter what your architectural needs, timeline, personality, or budget, you cannot do better than Kai Geschke and his team. – Gabe

We absolutely LOVE our house!!! Kai really listened to what we wanted and he also learned a lot about our lifestyle before designing our house. Not only is our home gorgeous inside and out, but the flow and functionality are practical for everyday living. Kai’s knowledge of Texan architecture mixed with his international experiences, made him the perfect choice for us. – Rain Prescott

Kai was so great to work with. He is very professional and knows his stuff. He made any and all changes that I requested and helped my husband and I work through the whole process. He helped save us money here and there on certain things as well and gave us many referrals to move forward on our build. I would highly recommend him and his staff. – Jodi Allen

Kai was great to work with, very professional and easy going! He took the time to listen to us and create the perfect plan for our new home. He was always punctual, easily accessible and communicative. He is also very talented and hard working. We were very happy with our design and in the middle of building it right now. We’re excited to bring his ideas to life! – Jamie Cottage

Our standards were high and Kai exceeded every one of them to build us our dream home. The journey was fun, friendly, imaginative, efficient. The house design is solid, efficient, utilizing the latest proven technology. We would use Kai again for our next home. – Jill Denton

We truly enjoyed working with Kai on our house plans over a two and a half year period; we definitely had the luxury of time. Living abroad meant many emails, phone calls and net meetings all culminating in face-to-face meetings when we were back in Austin each year. This arrangement could not have worked more smoothly and definitely speaks to the professionalism of Kai and his staff. He is talented, gracious, professional and listened to our opinions and suggestions. We incorporated many ideas from other homes we’d seen and Kai managed to take our thoughts and produce a cohesive plan that flows beautifully. We ended up with an amazing floor plan and exterior elevation that uniquely feels like our home. We couldn’t be happier. We were actually sad to see that part of the home design and build process end. We have recommended Kai’s firm to our friends (who are now working with him) and many of our future neighbors have worked with Kai as well and his homes truly stand out. – John and Kris Smale

My wife and I had a great experience working with Kai and Tomas at Geschke Group Architecture. They wanted to make sure they knew what we wanted in our new house first and from there developed the house plans tailored to our needs and wants. They did an outstanding job and we couldn’t be more pleased with our final plans and specifications which were completed in a timely manner. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a beautiful custom home. – Wayne Lombard

We worked diligently with Kai Geschke for 5 months to develop an extremely efficient layout for a one story contemporary home on a golf course in Austin. We are very happy with his thoroughness and attention to detail and are close to moving in. The process was flawless and he understood immediately what we were trying to achieve in the design of our home. – Janisa Cortez

I’ve worked with Kai Geschke and his team on several projects. I’m always so impressed with their ability to listen to the client’s wish list and transform their ideas into a beautiful design that not only feels unique but also well thought out. Kai and his team are such a delight to work with and I hope to work on many more projects with them in the coming years. – Meredith Owen Interiors

We hired Kai after seeing the home above. He listens to your requests and understands intuitively the ambience you are trying to create in your home. When you ask for out of the box ideas, he finds a way to incorporate the design element, yet still be architecturally sound. Lovely finished products with farmhouse styling, all within contemporary boundaries. – Barker Mahin

I am a real estate agent and have worked with Kai on several occasions over the years. He is wonderful to work with and his final product is amazing. I highly recommend Geschke Group Architects and have to several clients! – Anonymous

Kai Geschke is a talented, brilliantly creative, and experienced architect. I’ve lived in one of the homes he’s designed and been in many others. Each is unique and intelligently planned. – Davina Stringer

We are in the process of relocating to the Austin, TX area and decided to build a custom home in the Spanish Oaks development. We talked to several builders about area architects and received Kai Geschke’s name, among others. We first interviewed Kai over the phone and then met with him at his offices. Spanish Oaks has an extensive review process that requires a number of meeting with the Review Board to obtain approval to move forward. Kai has worked with the Spanish Oaks’ process and was extremely helpful in representing us at the meetings with the Review Board. After each Review Board meeting Kai would provide timely written feedback to us regarding the comments made during the meeting and we would discuss any changes to the proposed plans that needed to be incorporated. Kai Geschke and his team at the Geschke Group were professional and timely with any changes to the plans that needed to be made. We also changed our minds on certain aspects of the plans during the process and Kai would always provide us with an estimate of the cost to incorporate our changes before the work was done. In the end we were pleased with the final plans and the overall costs were as represented. – SJ Weeden

We’ve worked with Kai and his associates several times and he is wonderful. I can’t recommend him enough – in fact, I have recommended him many times. If you are looking for an architect in the Austin area, I highly suggest you contact Kai. – Laura Keyes

There’s no reason to look any further, Kai Geschke is the best architect for your custom home! From the moment we shook hands with Kai, my wife and I knew he was the architect for our custom home. He, along with his staff, makes you feel incredibly comfortable and welcome at every visit. Additionally, he is very honest with his time and schedule but always makes sure you get the personal time and attention you want for your project. Talent – Ability – Ideas – Creativity – it’s all there and then some. From our initial visit where we discussed needs, wants, wishes, etc., he was able to convert the conceptual into hard sketches with his first attempt – completely nailed it. From that first sketch to getting plans approved, Kai and his team have been a true pleasure to work with. They are with you every step of the way, and Kai is exceptional at taking ownership of the process which is such a blessing on our end. If you are searching for an architect, do yourself a big favor and reach out to these guys. Once you meet Kai, you will know that you’ve made the right decision. – Ron P.

Kai is amazing. We were an architect nightmare client. First time home builder, an engineer and a doctor, both type A, with a difficult pie shaped lot, We changed the floor plan at least a dozen times, and several of those were major changes (example deciding to drop the elevations 3 feet, five days before we were supposed to break ground). When he realized we could possibly have a view downtown, he suggested that I get a ladder and climb up to see the view. He met me on a cold February morning as the sun was rising. He climbed up a shaky 33′ ladder leaned against a tree, looked, came down and said “we need to capture that view”. He went back to his office, and had (major changes in elevations) within a month, including adding a third floor, changing from French country to Mediterranean, to allow a flatter roof to stay within our city code for roof elevations. You will be very fortunate if you are able to get on his schedule (he had a 3 month backlog when we first approached him). We talk about the three As in my business: Available, affable, and able…Kai is 5/5 in each, and one more A, affordable. For his quality of work we had been told we would pay 25-300% more as much as we did. And his work surpassed any of our friends who have gone thru the same process. He is known in the community of architects to be one of the best in the city. He is very cost conscious, and will warn you when you are getting over budget. He fights for you when needed (neighborhood association complaints etc), he gives great referrals for the various engineers, landscape architects, pool builders, and of course, he is very well connected with all the high end home builders in town. The one time we did not use his list of referrals, to save $200, we hired a topographer that was not on his A list…and we paid for it in spades…despite this, he never said I told you so…he simply pushed and pushed our sub, until the work was done correctly (now that we have poured the foundation and the walls are going up, I can tell you that the topo is of critical importance…spend the extra $200). Kai replies to emails and calls promptly. When he is out of town (he takes two vacations a year, it is sad that I know this since I have worked with him for three years), he has a great staff (Jehu et al) that are great about filling in and helping answer questions, providing drawings, etc. He always had the same reply to our request for change: “I am here for you…I will get to this as soon as I can”. Usually, the changes were done in 24-48 hours (obviously the elevations change item above was significantly longer). There was no whining, no nickel and diming. The fee schedule he set up was maintained, even though we took almost three years to break ground, from the first time we met him. At one point, when we had gone way over budget (the builder estimate was 40% below reality), and told him we could not longer afford to build, and would have to downsize, we were sure we would lose him. He nodded, told us he was there for us, discussed a fee schedule for the changes that was VERY fair, consistent with what he had told us would happen at the very start for that situation (a very fair per hour rate), and this enabled us to find another builder who could get us back under budget. After he had been paid in full (a few months ago) we have sent him several emails, and made several calls, asking for advice. The level of service did not change. He would call us back promptly, and once even drew an elevation change, in under 24 hours, when we decided to eliminate some large doors, and asked about how we should make the new ‘arch’ (where the doors had been) look. I will say it again, Kai is amazing. You will be lucky to get on his schedule. – Scott Campbell

My firm has worked on five different projects designed by Kai Geschke, of Geschke Group Architects. All of these are very unique to each client, and very current in their design. Kai listens to his clients and pays attention to their Houzz photos. When working with the Geschke Group Architects my firm is part of a team whose goal is to interpret the clients needs and wants to create a timeless and high quality product. I look forward to collaborating with the Geschke Group Architects in the future. – Jennifer Garner Interiors

We are a custom home builder in Austin, TX. We have been building Kai Geschke’s plans for years. I liked the designs so much that I had the Geschke Group design my own personal home. That should be a testament on it’s own. The Geschke Group has great plans and even better people. – Olson Defendorf Custom Homes

Kai’s services are fantastic. His designs are comfortable to live in while also incredibly beautiful. I’d recommend him to my closest friend. – Arbogast Custom Homes

Kai and his team do a great job building a beautiful unique house. Our builder, John Hagy enjoys working with Kai because he is great at details. Especially, with the intricate part of the house that the eyes don’t see. I would highly recommend Kai! – Kimmo

Kai Geschke created the design and plans for our Hill Country home, a once-in-a-lifetime project for us. He listened to our ideas and dreams and asked questions about the way we live out our lives at home — the time investment in this very granular exploration was extensive and invaluable. He visited the site to understand how the home would interact with the landscape and spent hours walking the land with us. Importantly, Kai challenged some of our ideas and thinking and opened new perspectives on ways to achieve our goals. To that point, the house we are building is different from the one we imagined in many ways and overall much better than we thought possible. He “heard” our wants clearly, even when we could not articulate them fully. He surprised and delighted us with ideas and concepts that more fully met our needs — and our dreams — than we could have imagined on our own. His willingness to adjust early drafts based on feedback and make some radical changes that became necessary as the plans evolved gave us comfort that he was designing “our home” not “a home.” His attention to detail is amazing and our builders have said that working with his plans is a pleasure due to the accurate and complete nature of the drawings and specifications. Kai provided an accurate set of expectations at the outset for timing, schedule and cost. He delivered on every aspect of the job and we can’t recommend him highly enough. – ML Burchett

Kai and his team worked with us to create a set of custom plans for our new home. Kai met with us on numerous occasions to guide us through the process, listen to our needs and fine tune the plans. He was able to understand our needs and our budget and offered practical solutions. He was recommended to us by our builder, and I have recommended him on numerous occasions since. – Chanson

Our experience with Geschke Group Architecture was super! Kai and his team are incredibly professional, helpful and patient. A good architect knows how to manage the “emotional” part of designing their clients’ dream home, and Kai was very patient while we worked through each element of our home. We are almost finished building and the home has far exceeded our expectations. So many careful details were included that we never even considered. We have received such positive feedback from our builder (other builders) and many tradespeople on the design. We would absolutely use Geschke Group again (but, hope we never have to)! – Anonymous

We had a custom home built and Kai was our architect. Our house was built on a hill so the land was not the easiest to work with but he did an amazing job from beginning to end. He is so talented at what he does. There was constant communication throughout the entire process. He was/is always available to us with any questions or changes we needed made. It’s so important you chose a good team when building a home. We would definitely highly recommend him to anyone. – Miles

After interviewing a number of architects in the area, we hired Geschke Group to help with the design and to complete drawings for our custom home. We could not have had a better experience with the group. Kai Geschke was keenly responsive throughout the process, listening to our requests and desire to have a home that fit our lifestyle and taste. He advised when it was needed and made valuable suggestions without imposing personal opinions. Kai truly listened to us and gave us exactly what we wanted for our dream home. – Liz and Joe Duncan

We enjoyed working with the Geschke Group very much. When it came time to find plans to build our dream home we knew we wanted a farmhouse style. Kai Geschke is a brilliant architect and has created unique, beautiful, yet simple designs. We were beyond pleased with his work and dedication to our project. Our satisfaction was his highest priority and his commitment to understand our vision was priceless. Working with the Geschke Group was a wonderful experience and I would choose them all over again if given the chance. – Catherine

Kai is an amazing architect. He brings extensive experience and a strong sense of design. Most important, he truly listens… something other architects claim to do but often fail to do. He went above and beyond the call of duty to help us in every aspect of our project. Kai is supported by a great team which makes Geschke group an extraordinary firm. – Ihdahl

It was a pleasure to work with Kai. Without question he made the process of designing of our home the most positive of experiences. His personal attention to our project during the build kept things moving smoothly. – John Babot

I was the interior designer for one of Kai’s houses and am currently working on another. As a professional it is a pleasure to contribute to his projects. He approaches each house from a holistic perspective and thoroughly develops the details with the client, laying a solid foundation upon which we can refine the next level of design. His final product is thoughtful and individual to the client, and they have each been pleased with his process and the expertise of his team. I highly recommend Kai Geschke Group Architecture. – Laura Burton Interiors

I have worked with Geschke Group Architects for many years now, and on many different projects. They have always delivered on time and on budget. I recommend them to all of my new potential clients. – Capstone Custom Homes

Kai Geschke combined creativity and German efficiency to design the perfect custom home for us! He listened carefully to our wants and needs and incorporated them beautifully into the technical work he did as our architect. He helped us think about aspects of designing a home that never would have occurred to us and provided expertise in all the areas that we hired a professional for, while being considerate of our tastes and special needs. He worked to accommodate our timing and is quick to respond to questions or concerns. He has been great about making changes and seeing this process through to our complete satisfaction. We recommend him highly! – Sharon Peterson
