Project: Gracias Madre vegan taqueria

"I worked with John Anastasio on our restaurant project, “Gracias Madre” at 2211 Mission St. S.F. from its conception in the spring of 2008 to the construction phase in the spring of 2009. He was integral in every phase of the design. His creativity was a contribution, his timeliness kept the momentum up, and his patience and fortitude working with the building dept. bureaucracy made my life easier. I would hire John again for any design work; he allowed this visionary Gemini to keep creating while his astute eye for details allowed the project to take form."

"I have found my experiences with Anastasio Design to be very satisfactory.  I especially like the fact that they respond quickly, that the plans are complete, and of course that they know what they are doing and when I submit them, everything is there."

CRF, Inc.
San Francisco, CA
Project: Site landscaping plan for nonprofit human rights organization

“Anastasio Design created three sheets of nicely-drawn plans and details for us after just one on-site photo session and a handful of email/phone conversations. John's obvious expertise improved and simplified our design and, with his drawings in hand, our permit sailed through the SF Building Dept review process in under an hour! It's unusual to encounter quality work that is turned around in under a week at a price that even a small nonprofit can afford. We definitely recommend Anastasio Design to other small organizations and will call John again for our future design projects.”

Fairfax, CA
Project: Remodel and Addition

"I highly recommend the services of John Anastasio for building design and drafting. My plans for a renovation project were just approved by the town and I owe it all to John. He was able to listen to what I wanted and explain clearly and concisely to me the steps we would need to take. John worked with my ideas to design a floor plan that would work well and flowed nicely with the existing structure. His sound understanding of building codes and construction enabled him to draft up a proposal that quickly passed approval and avoided a longer, more costly route. I greatly respect John’s integrity and knowledge of the construction industry!"
