Services
Young and Borlik Architects is a full service architecture firm specializing in custom residential projects. We define success as the translation of your needs and desires into a beautiful home that suits your tastes, your lifestyle, and your budget. Our goal for the past 32 years has been to create close working relationships with each client.
What are the parameters, rules and guidelines for your location? We research feasibility and site-specific data to assess the possibilities and limitations of your property. Building Code analysis: site & building access, parking & traffic requirements, fire protection, etc. What will it take to reach your goal?
What do you want? What do you see? What do you need? Our services are based on your vision. Tell us how you would like to develop your property. A list of goals, pictures, or online idea portfolios all can help us understand your vision. By considering options, combining alternatives, and refining the balance of decision making, the design becomes clear and the best alternatives surface.
For significant projects, most cities require some form of Planning Department review process. The process varies from city to city. This can range from simple staff level approvals to formal public hearings. Some projects require pushing beyond the normal everyday entitlements set by the planning codes.
We provide the complete set of Construction Documents for your permit applications and approvals. They are a vital piece of the process of submitting to your city building department. We tailor a set of plans to meet the needs of each project, whether your need a minimal permit approval set or a highly detailed and descriptive set.

As a local residential builder, I have had the privilege of working with Young & Borlik Architects for over 15 years. Not only do I have a great professional relationship with Y&B Architects, I consider Steve, Andrew and staff to be dear friends.
Young & Borlik are great architects. What makes them stand out more from other architectural firms, is that they listen to their clients and understand what their needs are and form a team of professionals and tradesmen that will fulfill their clients dream.
Like a good red wine, Y&B Architects seem to only getting better. Steve & Andrew's staff of architects
