Our firm has a successful practice offering attractive, functional, well-designed solutions for our residential clients. Our goal for a renovation is to always meet our client’s needs while not designing something that appears to be an “addition”. Our new homes are designed to meet today’s way of life, in function, appearance, and energy needs. The architectural services we offer ensure that each project is unique and that client expectations are exceeded, being especially mindful of budgets. Being a woman-owned firm, we offer a different approach. That approach isn’t necessarily better; however, it is unique. Every space is part of a larger whole, and the way you interact with your space whether it be your home, your office, a restaurant you frequent, is an intimate experience. It is uniquely yours. We strive to listen well, to hear what is also unspoken, in order to design a space that meets your needs, is functional as well as beautiful. Our philosophy is simple, bigger isn’t always better. Start with a box, then EXPLODE IT! You’ll be surprised by what you’ll end up with sometimes. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Multigenerational Homes - Pool House Design & Construction - Virtual Reality Walk-Thru ### Areas Served - Middletown - Wall Township - Point Pleasant - Rumson - Fair Haven - Little Silver - Manasquan - Belmar - Brielle - Spring Lake Heights - Point Pleasant Beach - Bradley Beach - Shrewsbury - Ocean Grove - Spring Lake - Sea Girt - Avon By The Sea - Lake Como - Alpine - Bay Head - Longport - Deal - Mantoloking - Stone Harbor Beach ### Typical Job Cost $15,000 - 50,000 $15,000 - 50,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | PLM Architect: Architecture + Design | | Address | Monmouth County, New Jersey 07731, United States | | Phone | (732) 567-1728 | | Website | http://www.plmarchitect.com/ | | Followers on Houzz | 59 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/plmarchitect - Blog — https://plmarchitect.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [PLM Architect: Architecture + Design](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/plm-architect-architecture-design-pfvwus-pf~1166907237) - **Website:** http://www.plmarchitect.com/ - **Phone:** (732) 567-1728 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - BBB A+ Rating, - **Best of Houzz:** 6 awards (2019–2026), for Service. **Affiliations** - [The American Institute of Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/the-american-institute-of-architects-pfvwus-pf~1350720471) - [NCARB](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/ncarb-pfvwus-pf~1477640315) - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/better-business-bureau-pfvwus-pf~1830530549) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 23 reviews** *Aspect averages:* - Work Quality: 50.0 - Communication: 50.0 - Value: 50.0 ### Reviews **★★★★★ — suzannemloomis, Nov. 2025** > We can’t say enough positive things about the beautiful renovation design of our family beach house. Patti went above and beyond to incorporate so many details to make our old home new and livable for our growing family. She is a great listener and extremely detail oriented. There was not a single glitch along the way. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Nancy (Mantoloking), Feb. 2025** > I would give Patti 10 stars if I could! It was our first big renovation so naturally we were a bit nervous. Patti was extremely patient and professional and took so much time to get to know us and understand our vision. She went to great lengths to design the perfect renovation/addition while maintaining the integrity of the original structure, which was very important to us. She captured every detail we requested and made great recommendations when we needed guidance. From wiggling into the sandy crawlspace to working directly with the town to keep the ball rolling, Patti did it all! She put 100% of herself into our project and was always available to answer questions or ease our worries. Construction is underway and thanks to Patti we can see our vision come to life. She is truly amazing! **★★★★★ — HU-746934756, Nov. 2024** > I wish I could give more stars..... > Patti is extremely professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure our project was done perfectly. She was a pleasure and a blessing to work with. I would highly recommend her services. **★★★★★ — kmcilhinney, March 2024** > We have worked with Patti on several projects and 2 major renovations in our home over several years and would never consider using another architect. > She is a pleasure to work with, very personable with the highest degree of integrity and her talent and attention to detail is second to none. > From the first meeting with Patti we felt at ease, knew we had found someone who was sincerely interested in our thoughts and concerns and who would work tirelessly to give us the "dream home" we wanted. And boy, did she deliver! > Patti has our highest recommendation and our sincere appreciation for the amazing design work she performed for us. > > Joe and Kathy (Sensitive Information Hidden) > Jackson, New Jersey **★★★★★ — Dana Hurley, Aug. 2023** > My husband and I interviewed many architects and were thrilled when we found Patti. She stood out for her knowledge and the way she understood what we were looking for. She is honest, kind, incredibly helpful and has wonderful ideas. We were designing our forever home with future kids in mind and Patti was able to point out things that would be important to our future home, things we would never have thought of! She made sure the flow to the home made sense, but also matched our taste and style. I cannot recommend her enough. We would 100% love to work with her again. **Comment from PLM Architect: Architecture + Design:** > Thank you Dana, it was a joy to work with you and Billy. I'm so excited to see everything you do in the future! **★★★★★ — Taylor Ensmann, March 2023** > My wife and I were referred to Patti by a neighbor for a full renovation project that included going out and up on the house. The beginning of the process of the renovation was scary, but once we met Patti we did not have to worry about the design of the house not being what we wanted. After our first meeting with Patti we knew that we were in good hands. Prior to meeting with Patti we felt that other architects that did not seem to really listen to what we were looking for. Patti was easy to contact for any questions we had and had quick responses. She also offered a realistic timeline for the whole project and what the budget would likely be (although we were scared by the reality she provided). Patti took our outdated 4 bedroom, 1 bath, cape cod home that had our laundry machines in the kitchen and turned it into a beautiful 2300 sq ft home with an open concept living/dining/kitchen area, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, an actual laundry room, and a mudroom/office. The design she provided us took advantage of all the space and provided much needed storage in the large closets attached to the bedrooms and walk in pantry. > > The bonus option she provided was a virtual 3D walk through of the house that I spent countless hours "walking through" measuring distances and thinking about furniture pieces that would fit or if any slight changes need to be made. **Comment from PLM Architect: Architecture + Design:** > Working with young couples with open minds and great ideas is always a joy. Wishing you both years of happiness in your home! **★★★★★ — heddynols, Feb. 2022** > We hired Patti on a friend’s recommendation and were thrilled with her service, expertise and style! She was a thorough professional that worked expeditiously, with supreme attention to detail and strived to completely understand and help create my design aesthetic. Patti was well versed on local ordinances, as well as quality technical construction requirements and the legal-ease necessary to get the job done efficiently and on budget. We look forward to maintaining the 1920’s arts and crafts cottage feel of our property and completing our new garage and pool storage cabana this summer. We would refer without hesitation! > > \- Heather Shand-Nolan **Comment from PLM Architect: Architecture + Design:** > Thank you Heather! It was a dream working with you on this project. **★★★★★ — Brian Homer, May 2021** > This is our second project working with PLM. Patty took our thoughts and visions and more beautiful that we could imagine, created our dream home. Highly recommended! **Comment from PLM Architect: Architecture + Design:** > Thank you Brian - it's always fun to work with you! Wishing you lots of success in your new home. **★★★★★ — Brian Kohler, Jan. 2021** > We hired PLM Architecture to design an addition and rework our home's facade. From the start we knew Patti was the right choice. She spent a tremendous amount of time listening to our desires and needs as a family and gave us the level of detail we needed. We were blown away with the final result. Our home now works for us in ways we could have never imagined. Patti was prompt with her replies as issues arose during construction and always had an answer. I have sent and will continue to send anyone that asks me for an architecture referral over to PLM. **Comment from PLM Architect: Architecture + Design:** > Thank you Brian. Looking forward to working with you again. **★★★★★ — Alla Krutyansky, April 2020** > If you’re looking for an architect who is not only talented, knowledgeable and resourceful, but, more importantly, who is honest, always follows through on promises and goes above and beyond her responsibilities, Patti is your only choice. I am building a mental health and addictions clinic and to say that the process of getting it all going was difficult, is an extreme understatement. It was tedious, frustrating and very costly. Between engineers, lawyers, town officials, builders and contractors, the one person I can say that I can always turn to for honest and fair advice was Patti. She was the only one I trusted and the only one who never ripped me off and preyed on some of my lack of knowledge of this process. Without her, I don’t think I could have made it as far as I did. Thank you Patti for everything you did. You’re worth every penny plus some. **★★★★★ — Patty Connors Finch, Nov. 2018** > I wish I could give 6 stars. Patti is skilled, creative and easy to work with. She first designed a second story deck (above a sun room) and later provided excellent plans after my main deck, pergola, and stairs were destroyed in Superstorm Sandy as well as plans for a new dune deck. For each project, she listened carefully to what I wanted, made excellent suggestions when I indicated the purposes of the additions, including some very attractive privacy features. She was very responsible and up to date on current permit requirements. I've had many complements on the additions and plan to hire her again for several upcoming projects. **★★★★★ — Terry Gunning, Oct. 2018** > Professional, creative, personable, active listener, flexible and all at a very reasonable price. Patti made the architectural planning stage a fun part of the project. The end result was fantastic. Neighbors commented that is was the best house lift they had seen. "Made the house look even better and it was cute to start" Patti's creativity coupled with a practicality of of use flow design made it work beyond our expectations. > > When there were issues she was always available to answer questions or propose solutions to problems within or beyond the architectural scope. Readily accessible by phone or e-mail. If I ever need an architect in the future, PLM Architect will be the first call I make. ## Selected projects - [Sea Girt Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sea-girt-cottage-pj-vj~7800656) - Location: Sea Girt, NJ - Photos: 14 - [Little Silver is brought into 21st Century](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/little-silver-is-brought-into-21st-century-pj-vj~7800692) - Location: Little Silver, NJ - Photos: 15 - [Mantoloking Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mantoloking-update-pj-vj~7800673) - Location: Mantoloking, NJ - Photos: 9 - [Dream Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dream-kitchen-pj-vj~7385297) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Historic Westfield Home Goes Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-westfield-home-goes-contemporary-pj-vj~2230449) - Location: Westfield, NJ - Photos: 16 - [An Interior Designer's Dream Renovation Part III](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/an-interior-designer-s-dream-renovation-part-iii-pj-vj~7385286) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Classic in Spring Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-in-spring-lake-pj-vj~6375500) - Location: Spring Lake, NJ - Photos: 12 - [Home with the Horses](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-with-the-horses-pj-vj~6187994) - Location: Colts Neck, NJ - Photos: 13 - [Colts Neck Farm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colts-neck-farm-pj-vj~6502956) - Location: Colts Neck, NJ - Photos: 46 - [New Pool House & Exterior Room on Shark RIver](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-pool-house-and-exterior-room-on-shark-river-pj-vj~3168945) - Location: Brick, NJ - Photos: 5 - [French Country Facade Redo & Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/french-country-facade-redo-and-renovation-pj-vj~2229994) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: A bland builder's colonial was transformed into fabulous French Country style home. - [Colts Neck Kitchen Renovations & Living Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colts-neck-kitchen-renovations-and-living-rooms-pj-vj~2230015) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: A full kitchen remodel, replacing a portion of the existing screened room.
