Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in New York

Archetype Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in New York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 12, 2014
“Archetype did an amazing job for me as architects for the gut renovation of a 8,000 sf townhouse. They created a great plan, paid attention to every detail, were highly responsive in making modifications, went over and beyond the call of duty to get drawings done with a very tight deadline, and were a pleasure to work with. Navigating the permitting process in NYC is complex and arbitrary, but working with Archetype made it quite painless. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with them again in the near future and would highly recommend them.”
Courtney Lowry Architect

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 12, 2018
“Courtney was very courteous, knowledgeable, and patient. She continues to answer all of my questions and has walked me through the design and build process step by step.”
William Leeds Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in New York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 13, 2017
“They worked with me night and day to design My 4 bedroom 1 bath cape home into a beautiful 6 bedroom 3 baths Colonial Style home. I cannot be more pleased with the outcome, Great job on my Dormer! I recommend them to anyone looking to do these kinds of work on their home.”
GC Architecture LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in New York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 24, 2023
“Very thorough review of the original site. Very efficiently designed an addition within the confines of the site...very easy to work with.”
LEAP Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in New York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 28, 2015
“LEAP designed our modern and green home addition. They handled much of the creative work on the project, as well as detailed renderings, bid consultations, and construction supervision. LEAP's work was very creative and responded directly to our needs. They found ways to get energy efficiency and modern design details into a "buildable" and cost-conscious project. They are humble, hardworking, and consistent. I would choose to work with LEAP Architecture again without hesitation.”
AC Hocek Architecture LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in New York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 9, 2023
“We had never been homeowners, let alone renovators, before we bought a brownstone in Carroll Gardens, and ACHA was the perfect partner to get us through a daunting process to the home we wanted. Ali helped us figure out and then implement the right plan for us. He was great on the big picture and the detail -- taking the time to learn our style preferences and developing them into options we never would have thought of on our own. He was patient with us and effective at translating our priorities (and financial constraints!) to the contractors. Ali made optimal use of our limited space -- fitting in a powder room on a parlor floor, where it didn't seem one could fit, along with an open living/dining area, and three comfortable bedrooms and two baths on the garden level. And he designed a fabulous deck and got us through the treacherous Department of Building approval process for it! I cannot overstate the unusual combination of aesthetic sophistication and practical know-how ACHA offers.”
Robie J. Wood Architect, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in New York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 14, 2012
“Robie is terrific. We interviewed quite a few architects for this job. Many had great ideas and beautiful plans though they were double our budget. Robie stuck to the budget and came up with lots of great ideas. He was very flexible and creative. We'd use him again in a heartbeat!!!! We love the result and the pictures posted don't do it justice!”

“I worked with Adam on a Center City condo renovation. He was a pleasure to work with. Adam goes out of his way to see that the project is done well. We wouldn't hesitate to partner with Adam again.”
Little Boxes Studio Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in New York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 16, 2022
“My home is one of the exhibits listed here. This architect was easy to work with and gave appropriate and timely advice when needed. She is currently working another project for me, a renovation of a Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentice work in the Berkshires.”
DINA VEDMED ARCHITECTS
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in New York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 5, 2023
“We had pleasure of working with Dina multiple times and she never disappoints! Her attention to detail, the pride she takes in her work (big or small), the amount of thought and care that goes in, her experience and knowledge, all top notch and simply unmatched!”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a New York home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through local New York, NY architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best New York residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the New York residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different residential architecture firms in New York, NY provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

Questions to ask prospective New York interior architects:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
