Over the past two years, Benjamin consistently demonstrated honesty, professionalism, and expertise. He helped transform our broad ideas into a stunning four-bedroom dream home through a comprehensive remodel. > > Benjamin’s creativity and versatility shone throughout—from architectural design and construction management to interior styling. He delivered innovative solutions within the constraints of our colonial home, resulting in a more functional, open layout with sophisticated finishes, thoughtful details, and beautiful interiors ideal for both entertaining and family life. He provided meticulous architectural drawings and specifications, guided us in selecting contractors and vendors, coordinated with structural engineers and contractors, oversaw procurement, and managed construction with precision. We later engaged him for interior design, which further elevated the final result. > > Throughout the process, Benjamin was easy to work with, personable and consistently responsive to both us and our contractors. Unlike previous remodeling experiences we had, this project was enjoyable, stress-free, on time, and within budget—largely thanks to Benjamin’s professional involvement. > > As clients, we especially appreciated his collaborative approach. Rather than imposing his artistic vision, he used his diverse background and refined aesthetic to enhance our ideas. Benjamin felt like a true ally, genuinely invested in the outcome. We wholeheartedly recommend Benjamin Andres Architekt to anyone seeking an outstanding architect. **Comment from Benjamin Andres Architekt:** > Natasa, > Thank you so much it was an absolute pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Ian, July 2025** > Working with Benjamin, we realized a dream kitchen and first floor. Benjamin was very creative in utilizing every inch of our space and making it be the best it could. From the floorplan to the finishes, Benjamin was there to help and guide us to a beautiful finished result! **Comment from Benjamin Andres Architekt:** > Ian, it was such a pleasure working with you and Celia. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. **★★★★★ — Robb, June 2024** > We worked with Benjamin on a design to transform a property that has been in the family for over 50 years, but prohibitive local building costs came in well above a sensible investment for that area. Benjamin's stunning and innovative design was eclipsed only by his kindness, patience, caring, and steady manner. Our every question and curiosity was met with a smile and gentle guidance. We learned so much from Benjamin, consider him a friend, and are seeking another project for his expertise and vision. **★★★★★ — Valery Elizabeth, Feb. 2024** > My husband and I would highly recommend Ben! He is easy to work with, knowledgeable, reliable and has a beautiful and clean design aesthetic. I felt he a great job of incorporating my requests and interests, while advising me on what would make sense given his experience. He is patient and was so easy to work with through all my design changes! We couldn't be happier with the final result and are loving our new kitchen. **★★★★★ — Ralf Haeussler, Dec. 2023** > Working with Ben and his team on my whole home remodel was a fantastic experience. He came up with a layout for the existing space of my home that fit all our needs and maximized the useable space in a way we hadn’t even thought of. It was a long process to get final approvals but Ben and his team were on the ball throughout and helped iterate incrementally throughout. I highly recommend them and will definitely be reaching back out if I ever have to do another remodel. **★★★★★ — Allison Gans, Dec. 2023** > This is the second time we worked with Ben. > > When we bought our condo we had great trust in buying a place that needed lots of work done because we knew we would work with Ben. > > Everyone who walks in immediately says ‘this place is amazing’. > > Ben emphasized the natural character in our house, created some real show stopper moments, was incredibly responsive, listened to what you need, recommended fixtures and materials that are reasonably priced, used the furniture and art we wanted to keep, and helped to manage our GC and subcontractors thoughtfully but gracefully. All with a dry wit. > > In short, Ben is a gem. > > We highly recommend him to anyone needing an architect. We plan on working with him again! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth McQuillan, Dec. 2023** > Benjamin transformed a dated ’70’s UWS apartment into an open, contemporary home. Benjamin's beautiful design featured a modern kitchen and bathrooms, while addressing structural limitations with innovative solutions. His floor plan reorganized the use of space completely elevating the flow of the apartment making it an inviting WFH and living space. Benjamin and his partner James worked seamlessly on the project, involved in all aspects from design to selecting contractors, NYC permitting, site preparation, suppliers, etc. I feel privileged to have worked with this team and recommend them unequivocally. **Comment from Benjamin Andres Architekt:** > Elizabeth, thank you so much for your kind words. It was a real pleasure. **★★★★★ — Chris Marshall, Dec. 2023** > I have had the pleasure of working with Benjamin Andres recently on a home renovation project, and I am continually impressed by his expertise and attention to detail. The team at Benjamin Andres Architekt is able to create designs that seamlessly blend functionality and aesthetics. **Comment from Benjamin Andres Architekt:** > Chris, thank you very much. Looking forward to seeing you soon. **★★★★★ — Michael Anthony, Dec. 2023** > I had a great experience with Benjamin and I have been working with him for my second project. Benjamin’s drawings and his use of colors and materials are tremendously helpful to visualize my project which I really enjoyed and appreciate. Benjamin is flexible on multiple projects in different scale and a reliable and knowledgeable designer to work with. He is fast and responsive to me during the design phase. I definitely will work with Benjamin for all my project needs. Highly recommended! **Comment from Benjamin Andres Architekt:** > Michael, thank you so much. We had a lot of fun with the project.. **★★★★★ — Yosef Ben Emmanuel, Dec. 2023** > I loved working with Benjamin and his team! They were total pros and helped me think through multiple design options until I was 100% happy. I always felt supported and like I was in good hands. I plan to work with BAA in the future if I ever need help with architecture or interior design. > Yosef Ben Emmanuel **★★★★★ — hao zeng, Dec. 2023** > benjamin have amazing refined taste and that’s why i hired him. he also always responds and picks up the phone which makes it very easy to work with him. i am very happy with what we created. **Comment from Benjamin Andres Architekt:** > Hao, thank you so much for your kind words. Looking forward to the housewarming. **★★★★★ — Michael Scholler, Dec. 2023** > We enjoyed working with Benjamin and his team. He took the time to listen and understand our needs and wants. Benjamin did a great job at asking clarifying questions and his team was also very helpful throughout the process, making sure to communicate what to expect next. Benjamin made himself available during the construction phase as well, and was helpful with pointing out some things we hadn’t thought of. Overall we are extremely happy to have worked with Benjamin and his team for our home remodel. They exceeded our expectations! ## Selected projects - [Jersey City Row House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jersey-city-row-house-pj-vj~7666943) - Location: Jersey City, NJ - Photos: 14 - Description: This Jersey City row house renovation is organized around a striking blue architectural volume that anchors the open-plan layout while concealing a wide range of essential functions.
