This is not hyperbole. Maria and Tony are out of the box thinkers who are client centric and wonderful to work with. Their creativity is unmatched. We have had countless “walkers by” on our street and they all ask who the architect was. I can give no higher recommendation. **★★★★★ — Andrew Davlouros, Nov. 2017** > Simply incredible....Maria and Tony worked through every phase of our project from board presentations to countless changes, updates and tweaks. You can't buy this kind of passion and it shows in their work. HIGHLY recommended. **★★★★★ — Ken Kandigian, Oct. 2017** > Maria and Tony are true professionals. They both take the time to really understand your needs and patiently work through the best way to provide you with an excellent end to end experience. They also do a great job of coordinating all variance and permit requirements up front so you know in advance what your project will require. I would highly recommend them.. **★★★★★ — Lisa Giannone, July 2017** > Where do we begin? From our first consult with Maria (Decosimo Architects) we knew she was the right architect for us! Her passion, her style, her dedication to please far exceeds any other architect we interviewed. Her attention to detail is flawless! Our home is an absolute perfect place to entertain, relax and unwind! We love every aspect of the design and flow that she created. > > We have worked with Decosimo Architects on two projects and soon to be a third! We highly recommend them; you won't be sorry! **★★★★★ — Augie and Maria Franzoni, Oct. 2016** > We recently completed a total remodel and redesign of our kitchen. > The design included a 60 sq ft bump out for which a variance was > required. The variance was granted without any changes or modifications to Maria's drawings...and the execution of her plans went off without a hitch. Her creativity and expertise as a designer and architect are unsurpassed in our book! We would recommend her without hesitation. We love Maria and are loving our new kitchen. **★★★★★ — Michael Watner, Sept. 2016** > My wife and I hired Decosimo Architects for not one but two projects. Clearly if we were not happy with the result of the first project we would not have hired them for the second project. Maria Decosimo is a remarkable person and an equally remarkable architect. She is very dedicated and thorough. She has unlimited energy and will listen to her client and strive to exceed their wishes. She is innovative and was very committed to our projects. We interviewed four or five other architects and Maria was the only one who came to our initial meeting with drawings, real interest and energy. To the other architects our project was just another job they would bid on. To Maria it was a calling to give us the best possible solutions to our two projects. **★★★★★ — djudge244, Sept. 2016** > Over the past 15 years, I engaged Decosimo architecture 3 times to handle radical home improvements on Short Hills & Summit homes (project length ranging 6-8 months). The design work was exceptional and the attention to detail truly outstanding. Her creativity and ability to maximize space transformed nice homes into elegance that still protected the integrity of the best aspects of the original home. Lastly, her ability to work overtime to ensure that contractors met the highest standards of delivering her design made me feel like I had a true partner in these endeavors. Her fee structure was fair and the firm is completely transparent with respect to all expenses. Decosimo Architecture has my highest recommendation for any home project. ## Selected projects - [CRAFTSMAN HOUSE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-house-pj-vj~2049547) - Location: New Providence, NJ - Photos: 21 - Description: -New arts & crafts (3) bedroom home. -Open plan with direct connection to rear yard. -Gracious front & side porch. -Large (3) car garage with bonus room above. - [BEACH HOUSE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-house-pj-vj~2049467) - Location: Point Pleasant Beach, NJ - Photos: 10 - Description: -New (5) bedroom beach house. -Informal beach lifestyle floor plan. -All bedrooms have beach view balconies. -Designed for flood & hurricane conditions. - [CABANA & POOL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cabana-and-pool-pj-vj~2047398) - Location: Rumson, NJ - Photos: 10 - Description: Cabana & pool. -Bar, pergola, full bathroom, fireplace, kitchen & lounge area. -Integrated pool, hot tub & child area. -A backyard "resort" - [DECK PAVILION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deck-pavilion-pj-vj~2053143) - Location: Chatham, NJ - Photos: 11 - Description: Exterior deck & pavilion with kitchen, fireplace, T.V. & pergola. - ["IN CONSTRUCTION" DECK WITH HOT TUB & ROOFED KITCHEN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/in-construction-deck-with-hot-tub-and-roofed-kitchen-pj-vj~2053182) - Location: Bernards, NJ - Photos: 10 - Description: -An outdoor living space for recreation & entertaining. -Kitchen, bar, dining, lounging, sun deck & hot tub. - [FINISHED BASEMENT PROJECT-1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/finished-basement-project-1-pj-vj~2741936) - Location: Florham Park, NJ - Photos: 12 - Description: -An informal "adult" finished basement entertainment space. -Bar with concrete counter. -Wine cellar as visual backdrop for bar. -Gaming, media, bar & lounging. - [HOUSE NEW FRONT ENTRY, FACE LIFT & REAR PERGOLA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-new-front-entry-face-lift-and-rear-pergola-pj-vj~2745894) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 12 - Description: -Taking a drab front entry/front elevation & transform it to a new arts & crafts aesthetic. -Provide new front roof skirt with pergola detailing. -Enhance rear yard living with new deck & pergola. - [HOUSE FACE LIFT & ADDITION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-face-lift-and-addition-pj-vj~2745761) - Location: Madison, NJ - Photos: 8 - Description: -House make over & additions. -Provide street presence with pergola & architectural details. -Family room & kitchen open to rear yard. - [HOUSE RENOVATION & ADDITION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-renovation-and-addition-pj-vj~2749274) - Location: Madison, NJ - Photos: 12 - Description: -Total house make over. -New 3rd floor dormer & 2nd floor addition. -New visually strong entry cover. -Family room now addresses the rear yard. - [HOUSE ENTRY & ADDITION](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-entry-and-addition-pj-vj~2749408) - Location: Chatham Township, NJ - Photos: 11 - Description: -2nd floor addition & total house makeover. -Arts & crafts aesthetic. -New gracious front entry. -House now takes "possession" of its site. - [PLAYHOUSE & GARAGE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/playhouse-and-garage-pj-vj~2842570) - Location: Madison, NJ - Photos: 11 - Description: -Renovation & conversion of existing detached garage/storage building. -New kitchen with exterior serving bar for backyard. -New full bathroom to service outdoor activities. -Up stairs "playroom/lounge area with fireplace & media entertainment. -Full face lift of exterior & interior.
