Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Mount Pocono

“Cindy was our architect for a tear-down/rebuild of our home. My wife and I found Cindy to be very insightful and creative, offerred us lots of options in design, and never expressed concern or hesitation in drafting or constructing some complicated elements we wanted in the home. She brought knowledge, experience and enthusiasm, but most of all comfort to a project which could otherwise have been a stressfull experience. Without question, we would hire Cindy again in the future without the need to go to bid.”

“I would highly recommend Frank for any project. He is prompt, thorough and goes through the details that make job great. He is also very honest and has great respect for the budget. I would hire again without any hesitation.”

“We worked with J_spy Architecture on a complete gut renovation and combination of our 2 bedroom apartment with the neighboring 1 bedroom unit in Battery Park City Manhattan. Jason and Paola were amazing to work with, and guided us every step of the way. From our initial meetings on reimaging what the space could be, to delivery of the final product, J_spy ensured that no item (no matter how small) was overlooked. They created a clean, modern and most importantly functional apartment which perfectly met the needs of our growing family. While construction can be a stressful undertaking, Jason and Paola made the process smooth and enjoyable with their ongoing construction management and quality control. I would highly recommend J_spy architecture to anyone looking to work with award winning, trustworthy architects who also have great design sense which emphasizes their clients needs every step of the way,”

“We worked with Samantha to design and reconfigure our master suite. From start to finish, Sam was super pleasant to work with, and went above and beyond to insure that we were happy with our project. Sam was a great listener and communicator and incorporated all of our wishes into her design, while introducing us to new innovative ideas. She helped with the selection of all materials, worked seamlessly with our contractor and designer, and gave great attention to detail. Our end result is an amazing master bedroom and bath suite which we are enjoying immensely. I highly recommend Sam and would use her again in the future without hesitation.”

“I am writing this letter today to attempt to summarize my respect, admiration, endorsement and gratitude I have for Arturo Palombo and the members of his team. I feel I owe it to whoever reads this that I provide some background information. In April 2010, my wife Amy and I purchased a home in Chester, NJ. It is a mid 1800’s reproduction that was about 20 years old when we purchased it. When we identified the house, it was on the right street for us and met most of our needs, but clearly needed to be updated. Being married to an Architect and having done a major renovation on our New York City apartment, we felt we were up to the task of making this house our home. We started in the usual fashion, getting recommendations from friends, reading through design magazines and talking to “one stop” kitchen designers and installers. After several months, we were not able to find anyone who would take the time to get to know us a bit and find out what we were really trying to accomplish. Then, one day, I was thumbing through a magazine and I saw a kitchen that I knew my wife would love. It was at a house in Madison, NJ. Needless to say, with the use of the internet, I was able to find out it was designed by Arturo Palombo Architecture, of Morristown, NJ. The rest, as they say is history….. Art, as he likes to be called, came to our house and we learned about his work on historical buildings, and he learned about our small, but growing family. He asked us questions like how are you going to use the space and made gentle suggestions to a design that, while we thought was perfect, but would have never worked. If I had to summarize things, Art saved us from ourselves. We knew we wanted to open the family room, kitchen and dining room up to make the space flow, for example, but tearing down the wall was not the answer. Art suggested creative use of cabinetry to divide the space, without making it feel choppy or detached. We were so impressed with his ideas and vision, we let him design 3 new bathrooms, a Laundry Room, our Mud Room and add things like a Pantry and Cubbies for the kids that we would have never dreamt of. Art connected us with tile designers that were more than just order-takers, but actual contributors to the project. He was able to communicate our sense of style to them which made the whole process more meaningful. This did not end up costing more than a trip to the Home Depot and having to fend for ourselves. Art worked closely with the General Contractor, always looking out for our best interests. As a matter of fact, he greatly exceeded my expectation of the amount of time he would spend during the actual construction phase. To be completely frank, I repeatedly asked him to charge me more for the services he provided, because in good conscience I could not stand by and watch him work for free. He never complained or minded, because it is obvious that he really loves what he does. In the end, we now have a house beyond our wildest dreams, for much less than we would have spent if we did these projects piece by piece. At resale time, which is many, many years away, we will not have to explain the quality and expertise that went into this project. It will be obvious, and we will have one person to thank for that, Art Palombo. Please feel free to call or email if you would ever like to come and see our home or ask any questions of my wife or I. Respectfully, Anthony Cuiffo”

“I am working on an old house remodel and needed a load bearing wall removed to make an open plan kitchen. I was worried that it would be too small a project but Eric responded to the Houzz request for a pro. He listened to my request, gave me a reasonable time line and explained how busy he was but agreed to meet me at the house and talk about my wants. He made some suggestions, explained how he works and what the process would be in order to get drawings to apply for a construction permit to remove the wall. He was professional, friendly and easy to talk to. We are in the process right now, the project is not done but I am so glad Houzz connected me with him.”

“Wonderful design, blending traditional, industrial and contemporary concepts. Extraordinary attention to detail and quality. Everything in my home falls into the "wow" category! I am the architect's mother and client. Ours was the first home she designed following her graduation from the University of Pennsylvania School of Architecture. I understand if you cannot use my comments because we are related, but I want to verify her Father and i were also her first paying clients and that she was the sole architect of our home. It is the "Lake Ariel Residence" on your website.”

“My business partner and I just graduated college, we are both 22 and 24 years old. We decided to open a Wine Shop and chose a location in Morristown NJ that was new construction. We shopped around for many architects and Hiland was the most trustful one out of them all. He really beleives in our business and had his team in Bernardsville really get to know us and become very personable. Being that we are young and this is all new to us many people would take advantage, not Hiland and his team if anything they stopped and explained everything to me so I understood what I was doing. There are not many honest companies out there that will do this! On top of that we threw Hiland's firm in the mix when we were in a slight rush to get things done, they really impressed me on how efficient and timely everything got done! If you want to work with a friendly staff and a trustful company I would not think twice about using Hiland Hall Turner Architects! Cambridge Wines is very thankful of a company like this!”

“Michelle has done MANY jobs for me over the last 8 years. I am a landlord with multiple apartments so these include: 2 full kitchen renovations and 3 kitchen "refreshes", bathroom renovations, drawing up plans and many different general home improvements. I keep hiring her because her design ideas are great, she is cost conscious about materials, is on-time, on budget and a great communicator about the project while it is happening. One of the things I like most about her work is that she has a great personal design sense. I don't have a problem trusting her to make choices - colors, materials, hardware - on her own and I always like the result. I recommend her without reservation for any project. (The pictures aren't great, but in one she installed a marble kitchen counter top and the other is a full kitchen renovation)”

“Christine Ussler of Artefact has worked with me on three projects, including two major remodeling/reconstructions and the design of a vacation home in Canada. She is a gifted designer who is a dream to work with, has wonderful ideas and is always attuned to the needs and wishes of the client. I can't imagine a better working relationship.”
