Pleasure to work with him. **Comment from Colangelo Associates Architects:** > Thanks, Dave. It was pleasure to work with you and Shannon **★★★★★ — Brett Farson, Jan. 2025** > Colangelo Associates is a top notch professional service for architecture needs. We came to Vince with ideas for a complicated remodeling project for a home built in the 1950's. He helped us determine a direction to add a 2nd floor with clear guidance and suggestions while also being flexible to factor in our requests. Carolina also helped throughout creating designs and presenting solutions to complicated layout issues. Definitely use this firm for designing new homes or remodels. **Comment from Colangelo Associates Architects:** > Thank you, Brett,and Annie. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Pete West, Jan. 2025** > Vince was a pleasure to deal with. I was thrown into the deep end by the city informing me that I needed stamped plans for my simple bathroom renovation. I contacted Colangelo Architects and was immediately put at ease by Vince's knowledge and professionalism. After the initial phone call, all communication was done via email, quick, simple and to the point! He simply had me send him the measurements of the bathroom along with about 7 or 8 pics, and a week later I had my drawings. After one revision I had my stamped drawings. His price was more than reasonable and if I have any future need for an architect, I know where I am going! Thank You Colangelo Associate Architects! **Comment from Colangelo Associates Architects:** > Thanks, Pete- The term " no job too small" comes to mind! Glad to help. Good luck! **★★★★★ — Ben Mulberry, March 2020** > Vince and team did a phenomenal job on our recent new build project! Vince draws from his experience as a past contractor to maximize cost efficiency, time, and to provide tons of input to aid tough decision making. The final product that the team came up with far surpassed our expectations, and it was a pleasure working with the team! **★★★★★ — User, March 2018** > We've worked with Vince for about 10 or so years now. He's easy to get along with and has a ton of experience in the industry. He so relaxed, he has even often let me come in the office and sit with his architects to go over floor plans with them in detail! I'm decisive and I know I can trust Vince to translate my thoughts into architectural plans. We've not only worked with Vince on planning for developments but he has helped us with our own home. When we bought it, it had a very weird layout with no flow. One of the worst layouts I have seen actually. Vince helped us make sense of it to unleash its full potential and create a wonderful home built for entertaining which we do all the time. I think the greatest compliment to Vince is when people come over they always compliment how much they love our home and how nice and flexible the layout is. Vince really helped us achieve everything we were looking for when we took the project on. Thanks, Vince! **★★★★★ — Kevin Burke, Dec. 2017** > Vince is a gifted architect who designed a beautiful home for me. I bought an old ranch house with the intent to do a gut renovation and possible expansion of the footprint. Vince patiently listened to my ideas and objectives and talked through the various approaches before going off to develop plans. He came back with a stunning design that I never would have been able to visualize on my own—a two-story wonder with an open catwalk connecting a vaulted loft on one side of the upstairs level to a vast master suite on the other. Vince thoughtfully worked through refinements with me as construction proceeded. He was proactive, attentive and always had good ideas. I feel like I now live in a work of art, and his architectural design is fundamental to it all. Collaborating with Vince was a true pleasure, and I could not be more pleased with his work. **★★★★★ — gtdevelopment, June 2017** > Vincent Colangelo is one of the best architects in Fairfield county that I have worked with in the past ten years. He has designed the majority of my residential developments. When you sit down with him you see the actual house, and he goes over it with you. His architectural talent is spectacular, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. **★★★★★ — Mike Trolle, June 2017** > Vince designed a new custom contemporary home that we built a few years ago. The homeowners had complete confidence in Vince, and they were very pleased with the final design and construction. Vince and his associates were great for us to work with and professional in every way, providing details and answers as needed to keep the project on schedule. We highly recommend Colangelo Associates for custom residential projects. **★★★★★ — T G, June 2017** > It was a pleasure working with Vince. Extremely professional with great ideas. We completely gutted a house built in the 1920s and reconfigured the entire interior layout. No detail was overlooked and the project turned out even better than expected. Vince came in under budget and was always very responsive. I look forward to working with Vince again in the future. **★★★★★ — Maureen Pollack, Nov. 2015** > It's so refreshing to work with such a professional team. They are not only incredibly talented but equally attentive. Thank you Colangelo Associates Architects for eveything! ~ Happy Clients, The Pollack Household **★★★★★ — sharonlee55, Nov. 2015** > Working with Colangelo Associates, one gets an immediate sense that there is a strong collaborative effort that is cordial and flexible. We've hired them to design the entire house from ground-up. Vince was great to work with. He was responsive to every call/email in a timely manner and remained patient and professional through countless revisions we asked of him. We would work with them again in a heartbeat. **★★★★★ — dchace\_chace, Nov. 2015** > I recently had the opportunity to work with Vincent on a renovation project. He was wonderful to work with and came up with so many wonderful ideas. He is an outstanding architect who has true passion for his work providing creative ideas, great insight and valuable advice. ## Selected projects - [Residence, Greenwich, CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residence-greenwich-ct-pj-vj~77079) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 17 - [Connecticut Residences](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/connecticut-residences-pj-vj~88876) - Location: Stamford, CT - Photos: 41 - [Residence New Canaan CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residence-new-canaan-ct-pj-vj~77536) - Location: New Canaan, CT - Photos: 5 - [Belle Haven Greenwich](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belle-haven-greenwich-pj-vj~1427749) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 17 - Description: Renovation - [Flying Cloud](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/flying-cloud-pj-vj~1265383) - Location: Stamford, CT - Photos: 16 - [Residence, Ridgefield, Connecticut](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residence-ridgefield-connecticut-pj-vj~10965) - Location: Ridgefield, CT - Photos: 16 - Description: A Contemporary, energy efficient Home - [North Greenwich Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-greenwich-residence-pj-vj~77533) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 10 - [Architects Home, Cos Cob Ct](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/architects-home-cos-cob-ct-pj-vj~77070) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 5 - [Dolphin Cove Quay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dolphin-cove-quay-pj-vj~1265363) - Location: Stamford, CT - Photos: 11 - [150 Year Old Barn Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/150-year-old-barn-renovation-pj-vj~1275536) - Location: Darien, CT - Photos: 5 - [Private Residence, Stamford, CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/private-residence-stamford-ct-pj-vj~77066) - Location: Stamford, CT - Photos: 17 - [Colangelo Residence, Greenwich, CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colangelo-residence-greenwich-ct-pj-vj~1406478) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 1 - Description: After purchasing a severely sloping lot in the Riverside section of Greenwich we set out to design a house that could satisfy the zoning regulations without requiring excessive variance requests. This two and a half story house was the solution. The Gambrel roof is a requirement of the zoning regulations which defines a half story as being under a gable or gambrel roof. Since a gable would result in a much taller building, we opted for the gable format. The roof will be lead coated copper with s… - [Barn Renovation, Stamford, CT.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barn-renovation-stamford-ct-pj-vj~1262718) - Location: Stamford, CT - Photos: 12 - Description: This Barn Renovation was done for the Mayor of Stamford (Now Governor of Ct).
