From our Clients

“ ”

  • “I have worked with Vernon and Gioi on several projects over the past few years and have found them to be creative, knowledgeable and fun to work with. They are thoroughly professional and do all they can to please their clients and the other professionals with whom they collaborate. I have worked with them on a variety of projects. They have not only worked with me on the big projects, but also on some of my smaller more challenging projects. They have always come through. They always bring something fresh to our collaborations. I highly recommend them.”

  • “For the past two years we have been working with Gioi Tran from Applegate Tran Interiors on a major home remodel. We have never worked with such an accomplished and brilliant designer. We originally consulted Gioi for our interior designing, but were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly impressed with his breadth of knowledge about architecture and construction as well. He provided innovative ideas regarding the remodel construction that ultimately provided the palette for his design plan. He listened to us and fully understood our style and artistic sensibilities. He seamlessly blended a modern flair with a contemporary foundation. Gioi was so easy to work with and his dedication to his clients is unparalleled. He showed a commitment to us and the project that went beyond his contracted time. We highly recommend Gioi Tran for any project needing a fresh creative perspective and exquisite styling.”

  • “I have nothing but great respect for Gioi Tran and his staff. As a homeowner, I have worked with several designers in the past. Out of all, I found them to be the true natural talent. Not only are they designers, but I would consider them artists as well. Not only are they fun to work with, they are extremely efficient and professional. They take the time and listen to you. They want to know you and your lifestyle. They take that information and create the most amazing, beautiful, and functional rooms. They are also talented in architecture. For example, they were able to create a breakfast nook by one simple suggestion that I was skeptical about and couldn't picture. Now, it is my absolute favorite room! Love Applegate Tran and his team and look forward to more future projects together!”

  • “We highly recommend Applegate Tran Interiors. During the selection process, we interviewed several interior design firms. Applegate Tran stood out because of Gioi's focus on interior architecture, not just interior decoration; many of his prior projects matched the contemporary direction we wanted; and, the entire team was enthusiastic and skillful. Our new home project has been under construction for the past year and Gioi's vision is taking shape. His influences including framing suggestions, materials selection, decorative elements, and built-in components are all contributing to create an environment that is exactly what we sought. His design input has been creative and challenging, but always collaborative. While he will happily make recommendations, he always listens and accommodates our input. Gioi takes immense pride in his projects and wants to deliver the best possible product, making us very satisfied clients.”

  • “Gioi Tran and Vernon Applegate are a joy to work with! This is a firm that totally gets it. They are wonderful talented designers and has so many resources to get things exactly right. Interior design is more than choosing a couch, paint samples, and wallpaper. This dynamic duo are interior architects. They can take a plain jane condo, loft, flat, or single family and turn it into a truly remarkable space. A space called home.”

    — Jamie M.

  • “We had our kitchen remodeled 12 years ago by Applegate Tran and it has not dated in any way. Gioi listens to your desires and lifestyle and provides creative ideas. Gioi and Vernon are actually fun to work with. Our kitchen has been featured in magazines. We love the functional and beauty of our kitchen. They listen to our concerns and created a beautiful working kitchen that will last for decades and never go out of style. We highly recommend Applegate Tran!”
