My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Worked with Nash Waters on a whole house renovation and was very pleased. Very professional, responsive and provided detailed drawings. Met all of our needs for what I had requested and always clearly answered all of my questions. I highly recommend him.

We had the pleasure of working with Nash on a substantial redesign of our older home. We had some unique ideas that we weren't sure were even possible and Nash added his own ideas and expertise to create an amazing design for us. We spent over a year together throughout the design, build and post-build support. We are not experienced in doing renovations and his partnership and constant support helped us get through the entire process with our contractors. The designs that he rendered were brought to life and we couldn't be more pleased with how the house turned out. His design concepts and attention to detail were skills he constantly showed us. But maybe more important for us was the genuine interest that we felt he had in ensuring we created a living space that we would love. We are thankful for the partnership and patience provided to us throughout the process and the willingness to always sit down with us to answer our questions and refine the designs as we proceeded through the process. For anyone looking for a partner to be with them throughout the process, we can't recommend Nash enough. We've created something together that we feel will last our lifetime.

We highly recommend Nash Waters Architecture. They were very professional with great customer service. Nash helped us develop our dispensary. Through the process there were many changes and updates. We depended on Nash’s expertise throughout the entire process. His firm was responsive and prompt with any update we needed. In the end their help allowed us to provide the cleanest and most efficient layout for our customers.

As a general contractor who has collaborated with numerous architects over the years, I can confidently say that working with Nash Waters has consistently been a standout experience. We've worked together on multiple projects—each with its own unique challenges—and in every case, Nash’s designs have been nothing short of flawless. What sets Nash apart is his ability to strike the perfect balance between aesthetic vision and constructability. His drawings are clear, detailed, and buildable—making field execution efficient and headache-free. He’s not just designing on paper; he understands how a job gets built, and it shows in the precision of his work. Nash’s responsiveness and professionalism make him a valuable asset on any design–build team. He listens, collaborates, and is always willing to problem-solve in real time when field conditions shift, which is a huge plus from a GC’s perspective. In short, Nash Waters delivers quality design with a contractor’s mindset. I highly recommend him to any client or construction professional looking for an architect who truly understands the full scope of what it takes to bring a project from concept to completion.

Nash Waters Architecture was a great pick for our home addition/ renovation project. We met with several architects and Nash stood head and shoulders above them all. He was the perfect partner for our project. Over the course of several meeting he showed us several options that would best suite our families' needs. Nash worked with us and helped us realize the potential of our house through different design ideas. He was also very responsive to our questions and emails. Nash was a pleasure to work with and our family is very happy with his services for this project.

It was such a pleasure to work with Nash on the plans for our cottage. My husband and I purchased a lovely 1032-square foot home on 3 acres of land and we wanted to renovate the home to open it up to the gorgeous surroundings, in particular the forest that stretches behind it. As gardeners, it was crucial for us to design a space where you could feel "outside" while "inside" and Nash understood exactly what we meant. He listened to our ideas, many not fully formed, about opening up the space, natural light, and bringing this outside in, and worked with us to create vision that we are so excited to be moving forward with. Further, he was extremely professional, responsive, and just a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a great experience working with Nash. We worked with Nash to design a 2-story addition to our house and finish part of our attic space, as well as do the interior design work for our master bath and dressing/closet/vanity area. Nash listened to our hopes for the project, brought design ideas to the table, and iterated with us to co-create the right use of space for our family. We also really liked that our weekly meetings were at our house, as this was really convenient for us and allowed us to double check measurements, etc. in real time. Nash delivered architectural variance and permit sets, as well as all the design elements for our master bath. It was so great to think through it all together, and really helped in the bidding process to contractors to have such a detailed and complete set of plans. We are grateful for Nash’s patience, guidance, and support through the whole process. We highly recommend working with Nash!

We hired Nash to design an addition and renovation for our house in central New Jersey. Any architect can draw the plans, but Nash went above and beyond during the entire project. He gave us amazing design options, helped us find a contractor, liaised with the contractor on our behalf from permitting to the final loose ends list, picked materials such as siding and stonework, constantly came up with clever solutions to unanticipated challenges, and he's a super nice guy! We highly recommend Nash, and we'd hire him again without any hesitation if needed.

Nash was amazing!!!! He created drawings for my home which is in a historical area of New Jersey (Glen Ridge). He and my interior designer created magic for my master bedroom suite that will be located in my attic. Nash from day one was on time, fully present, and meticulous. He studied my town's historic rules and regulations and combined Beth’s interior design. Needless to say, it is not an easy feat to get approval from The Historic Preservation Commission of Glen Ridge. Nash got the approval on the first go around. I was impressed by his presentation and his hands-on approach throughout the entire process. I can’t thank him enough for making this so easy.

Nash is a delight to work with. We worked together on a replacement kitchen in our mid-century home. Nash was alway available, always responsive, always with a smile. He worked closely with the custom cabinet makers, delivering stunning workmanship and beauty. Along the way we encountered the usual challenges associated with a structure that has previously been expanded, and Nash came up with out-of-the box solutions. To his credit, ego was never an overhanging issue, and Nash accepted (good) ideas wherever these came from. I highly recommend Nash Waters as an architect.

We worked with Nash on the design, development, and construction of a kitchen and dining room renovation for our apartment, located within a historic building in Brooklyn, New York. Nash had an incredible work ethic, an engaging demeanor, and was instrumental in helping us realize our vision - a design that is uniquely set in the historical structure while meeting the needs of our modern, daily life. He spent countless hours on our project developing and finalizing the design, finding the right materials, engaging a contractor, and undertaking project management as needed. In addition to his immaculate design ethos, Nash went above and beyond in communicating with us and the contractor to keep the project on schedule and on budget. Nash is deeply passionate about his work and clients. He even helped suggest furniture that would fit into the re-designed space, highlighting his helpful demeanor. As first-time homeowners and renovators, we found Nash to be an invaluable resource who was available to address all of our questions or concerns in a timely fashion. We have utmost faith and trust in him and look forward to working with him again on future projects, as well as gladly recommending him to anyone looking for an architect!

It has been a pleasure to work with Nash this past year. Despite the various design and architectural obstacles that arose throughout our project, he's been able to use his creativity, knowledge, and optimism to find thoughtful solutions. When drawing and designing, he takes into account our ideas and preferences while also giving us feedback about how it would fit in the overall design. It's important to note that he is constantly thinking about how to improve a design. Nash has kept deadlines, stayed in touch (phone, text, or email), and gone above and beyond when needed.

We had a great experience using Nash for the renovation of our 151 year old Victorian home. Nash was creative, responsive, and extremely helpful throughout the process. He was available when the engineer and others needed his advice. And came to the table with a lot of creative options and ultimately give us the plans for our dream house. Nash was a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend him for any project. Not only did he do an amazing job, but his rates were very reasonable.

Nash helped us design a plan to modernize our new home, a traditional split level. As first time home owners and remodelers, we’re really grateful we had the opportunity to work with Nash. Nash helped us develop plans to open up and update the kitchen, loft the ceiling in the main living space, optimize the layout in the master suite to expand the master bath, and create an outdoor deck/patio entertaining space. He took the time to understand our vision for the space and really took our ideas to the next level, and was transparent with the timeline and costs from the start. At each design meeting, he shared multiple options for layouts and materials, which helped us maximize the space for our needs, and created 3D visualizations that helped us see how it would all come together. The design he created is bright, warm, inviting, functional, and beautiful. We highly recommend working with Nash!

Nash helped me with a backyard design for a deck/gazebo/gardening. He is one of the most pleasant professionals out there, to work with. He explained the process and the cost really well up front and besides the basic drawings he went above and beyond providing multiple ideas with 3D visualizations as well as explaining all the material options. He helped with finding the right constructor to do the work. He is always available to answer any questions. Highly recommended!

Whether it's your first project or your 10th project, you will not find a better and more professional architect to work with than Nash. He takes the time to understand your vision and values, defines the scope in a very clear and organized manner and then delivers exceptional work ahead of schedule above and beyond what is expected or promised. A real pleasure to work with. We look forward to many more projects in the future with Nash.

Where to begin with Nash! He takes great pride in his work and you can see that he leaves no piece of his project left off in his design process. His attention to detail and ability to create spaces based on the wants and needs of his client make him one of the best!
