### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-593704687, Dec. 2021**

> Lilian met with myself and my husband to discuss the possibilities for a gut reno on a duplex apartment in downtown Manhattan. She was the epitome of professionalism throughout our relationship. She came up with a fabulous solution to transform what was a two bedroom, two bath space into 3 bedrooms and a den. She went above and beyond to provide floor plans as well so we could visualize her ideas. Ultimately we decided this particular apartment was not the right fit for our family but when we do find the right space and it needs the loving care of an architect we will be using Lilian!

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Thank you so much for your fantastic review! I am so glad that you were happy with your experience. Good luck with apartment hunting - I would be happy to work with you again. Lilian

**★★★★★ — Frank Monaco, Dec. 2021**

> Lilian and her team were terrific in all respects.  The finished product came out beautifully.  She was much more than an architect for us.
>  She was able to find a general contractor that fit our budget and needs, and worked hand-in-glove with the contractor so that everything went smoothly. For one room in particular, we were having trouble addressing all of our needs in the small space; Lilian kept looking for creative solutions to meet our requests.  She was extremely responsive throughout; we felt like she was available 24/7, and no detail was too small for her personal attention.  Even when there were questions that would normally be asked of an interior designer (which we did not have), Lilian and her team would graciously respond.  For instance, Lilian picked the perfect white paint for our walls and also helped us find a fireplace mantel that was not only exactly what we wanted, but made sure it would be a safe mantel and size for our particular wood burning fireplace.  And when the manufacturer delivered the mantel with incorrect sizing, it was Lilian's team that worked through the issue and (without us asking) even obtained a partial refund from the manufacturer for us.

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Frank, thank you for your enthusiastic review. It was a pleasure working with you and your wife. My team makes sure that all our client’s needs are catered for even if it is outside our normal scope of work. I enjoyed your insightful feedback and am so happy that you and your family are enjoying your new home! Lilian

**★★★★★ — Judy Liu, Dec. 2021**

> I was so lucky to find Lilian on Houzz. She not only has a keen eye for project design, but she knows how to assemble a top-notch team of experts to address all aspects of a complex project, including engineers of all trades and dealing with the newly established building permit process at the DOB.  Lilian is very organized and compiled a comprehensive project timeline that was really helpful.  She was always very accessible, as was her entire team, for questions/issues arising along the way.  The project involved a complete renovation and partial excavation of a damp, leaky, townhouse basement (cellar) that was slowly crumbling and only partially useable - the unfinished part had a dirt floor.  Anything stored down there eventually was ruined from moisture.  There is also a stream running under the building, so the excavation of the floor had to be handled very expertly.  The space was completely waterproofed, and is now wide open, bright, dry - not one ounce of water leaked into the cellar during all the recent hurricanes. I now have a fully useable loft-like cellar, for storage, laundry, and entertainment. I highly recommend Lilian and her highly competent team.

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Thanks, Judy, for your fabulous review of our work for you! Your alteration while simple in scope was technically very challenging. You were a terrific client, as my team and I overcame each hurdle, resulting in a very successful alteration. I enjoyed your insightful feedback and am happy we addressed all your needs. Lilian

**★★★★★ — Ziyu Liu, Dec. 2021**

> She is a true professional and honest and charming individual. She is a good listener as well. We have started our project in April 2021 and the results shows how beautiful it transformed our apartment. The process, pricing, and communications were transparent.
>
> I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a easy and beautiful renovation that stays within your budget.

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Thank you for your review! We enjoyed working for you. For me personally, it was a very gratifying project.  Your inspirational project goals informed our design work resulting in a spectacular space!

**★★★★★ — Tom, Nov. 2020**

> Liliane is a great architect. She was born in the bauhaus and has grown up from there. Easy to work with and not a time waster. Very responsive and a confidence that is not conceit but competence.

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Tom, thank your fantastic support and for such a wonderful recommendation. It is always delightful to work for you and your wife as we now enter our second phase of the work. Lilian

**★★★★★ — JSM Project Management, LLC, Nov. 2020**

> We look forward to executing Lilian's wonderful designs on our next project together.  We will be a great partner to install quality craftsmanship and make her and her customer proud.

**★★★★★ — Christina Tang, Oct. 2020**

> Working with Lilian was an absolute delight. We found her on Houzz and after speaking with her on the phone and meeting in person, we knew she would be the perfect fit for our project. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the ever changing industry is only the beginning of why you should consider her expertise.

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Dear Christina - thank you for your wonderful review - it was a real pleasure to work with both you and your husband.  You trusted my vision and the transformation to your apartment was remarkable and now you can enjoy your new home.

**★★★★★ — Zachary Hyde, March 2020**

> It was my pleasure working with such a talented and detail oriented architect. We look forward to working on many more projects together.

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Hi Zachary - it is also my pleasure working with you and your company - I also look forward to our next job  - Lilian

**★★★★★ — james zammit, Feb. 2020**

> We are a high end general contractor firm that focuses on the upper east side market. Have met Lilian thru a client of ours on Park Avenue. The way this company works and executes decisions is impressive, the  amount of details provided on plans made our job easier. Highly recommend this firm to anyone that wants a headache free job !

**★★★★★ — HU-752298578, Dec. 2019**

> I am a General Contractor. Our firm has worked with many architectural companies over the years. Our company is very impressed with Lilian H. Weinreich Architects. Lilian is talented, professional and demands perfection. The firm’s residential projects are beautifully designed, transformative and visually impressive with an “edgy urban vibe”. We have worked with the Weinreich team on projects of multiple scales. Their commitment to ensure a successful outcome is obvious.  The firm has a clear vision with regard to the respective spaces and they always to meet the needs of their different clients. The firm’s strong design expertise is balanced with a deep knowledge of constructability and code compliance. It is a pleasure to work with the Weinreich Architecture team. We look forward to collaborating on upcoming projects. Their professionalism sets a new standard for the industry. I highly recommend Lilian H. Weinreich Architects with 100 glowing stars!

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Thank you very much for giving me such positive review. We have worked on several jobs together in New York City – all skillfully executed. You are certainly able to navigate the complexities of working in construction in NYC and most importantly you keep my clients happy. It is also our pleasure to work with you. We look forward to collaborating with you on many more projects.

**★★★★★ — BAS Stone NYC, Dec. 2019**

> We've had the pleasure of working with Lilian for at least ten successful years. Lilian's aesthetic is one not easily achieved - a unique touch in a very modern landscape. Each collaboration has been enjoyable and seamless with Lillian. Her keen sense for detail has generated impeccable design!

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Thank you so much for your glowing review. We strive to make every renovation project a positive experience and you have no doubt added to our success. Your product is superior. Your customer service impeccable. I look forward to specifying your products on many more projects.

**★★★★★ — Roger Hecht, Oct. 2019**

> My wife and I were forced to renovate our apartment because of substantial water damage caused by the improper waterproofing of the new outdoor deck on the building set back above our apartment. In retrospect we selected the wrong contractor who was recommended and competitively priced. We provided a substantial retainer.  The crew promised completion in 6 weeks. Three months later with no end in sight my wife and I were forced to stay in a nearby hotel. We bumped into Lilian Weinreich, an architect and friend in our lobby. Lilian was working at the time on a couple of renovations in our building. We told Lilian about our situation.  Thankfully, Lilian took charge and we were able to move back into our apartment two weeks later. Lilian visited the site daily to ensure that the job progressed according to her construction schedule and that no short cuts were taken.  Lilian is a knowledgeable building professional with exceptional management skills and is very talented. Evidence for her talent are amazing alterations in the building with a great eye for detail. We give her a 5-star rating and recommend her highly.
>
> When we do out next renovation we will absolutely retain Lilian!!!

**Comment from Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects:**

> Roger – Thank you for your positive review - I was glad to get your job back on track and look forward to working with you and your wife on your next project.

- [Park Avenue Apartment, Carnegie Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-avenue-apartment-carnegie-hill-pj-vj~7164822)
  - Location: New York, NY
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: This 2,700sf Park Ave remodel in a 1930 Schwartz & Gross Building nods at the historic legacy of the apartment’s gracious details. The rear area, typical in buildings of this age, is a maze housing the former kitchen, laundry and servants quarters amongst a quagmire of pipe chases. The biggest challenge was to simplify the circulation path. This was resolved by creating an open passageway at the window wall - an anterior space to the galley kitchen and guest/powder room. The open-ended galley ki…

  - Location: New York, NY
  - Photos: 19
  - Description: This 1,500sf duplex for a young couple with an expanding family is an open, flowing interior on 2-levels. The biggest challenge was in the design/fabrication of the staircase. Unique features include the co-planar clear-tempered glass-rails and child-proof open slots. 11-ft sliding and retractable, glass/steel panels create both a spatial elongation & an illusionary vista to a larger space beyond. The lighting scheme was designed to enhance the spatial qualities.
- [Central Park South Apartment](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-park-south-apartment-pj-vj~5473562)
  - Location: New York, NY
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: This Apartment on the 31st floor on “billionaires row” in New York was purchased for the views. It transforms a typical traditional New York pre-war 2-bed, 2-bath unit into a flexible, open apartment allowing residents to freely circulate and enjoy panoramic views of Central Park South to the north and east.

  - Location: New York, NY
  - Photos: 17
  - Description: Feng Shui dictated the orientation and functional layout of this 2 bed, 3 full bath apartment to harmonize with spiritual forces. The 1,600sf plan creates generous, open, and clutter-free spaces, as small, dark areas restrict the flow of positive energy. The den area can be separated from the main living/dining areas into a flex-bedroom with a series of 3 interlocked translucent sliding panels that span 26 feet. When not needed, the panels stack unobtrusively at the entry. The master bedroom sui…

  - Location: New York, NY
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: This customized 540sf dream kitchen/pantry was fitted with the best equipment suitable for a commercial kitchen within a residential setting. It was required to facilitate both intimate family gatherings as well as large formal sit-down banquets. Built on a clean formal language, the design was based on the principles of ergonomics, functionality, and sustainability. Impractical crown mouldings and 6” square ceramic tiles were removed. All finish materials – including the predominate white solid…

  - Location: New York, NY
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: This Brownstone is located on one of the most desirable landmarked streets in Greenwich Village. Behind the historically restored façade built in 1830, awaits an extraordinary light filled residence. The open informality of the interior renovation is overlaid with a sumptuous program for living, entertaining, and the display of contemporary art. The Brownstone is custom tailored to create the most optimal proportioning and layout of space. An interconnected series of programs is composed in a sp…

  - Location: New York, NY
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: A 170sf bath/dressing room, for an art-naïve artist of note in her 80’s, is transformed into a visually powerful space. An accessible, well-lit space with a laundry closet was required. A wall-hung WC & cantilevered vanity create an obstruction-free floor space. All doors slide to eliminate obtrusive door swings. Open closets allow for easy visibility. Conical fixtures throw light onto the floor while adding a jewel-like quality. Dropped ceilings, hide beams, piping & duct-work, were softened by…

  - Location: New York, NY
  - Photos: 17
  - Description: This 1,800sf duplex renovation, designed for a retired couple, is based on a set of ancient design aesthetics, embraced by the Owners during the years the family lived/worked in Japan. These include the ideals of wabi (transient stark beauty), sabi (patina, aging), and yūgen (profound subtlety). The space divides into public/private. The lower level is an open utilitarian space for dining/ entertainment with floor-width views and sliding Shoji screens. The private bedrooms on the upper level, fe…

The illumination of varying ceiling planes delineates the apartment’s zones: entry, kitchen, bathroom, and living. The design transforms an impractical kitchenette into an enlarged kitchen with abundant cabinets, utilizing both sides of the new entry passageway. In the main living space, a queen size bed is hidden in a custom wall unit. To vi…

  - Description: Using flex-space principles, two small studio spaces were successfully joined to create a magical, efficient 900sf apartment. Large full-height translucent sliding panels feature prominently as both a means of partition and connection. The apartment contains at its core an enlarged open loft-like kitchen and island counter. The entertainment /living/ dining areas can convert into three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with a laundry closet. BUILD-2017 AWARDS

The apartment exemplifies a balance between modern simplicity & technical dexterity. The kitchen/dining/entertainment area is one large, open utilitarian space. A predominant floating ceiling plane with soft lit edges and filament bulbs, while throwing light onto the floor, add a jewel-like quality. The bathroom & kitchen were enlarged while m…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Who manufactured/designed the sliding panels in the den?** *(in Photo Questions)*

May i ask who manufactured the sliding den doors and what material did you use?

A: These are custom made metal and glass doors fabricated in Italy - 
see link below - it is a video on my website showing the mechanism of these doors.
It was a real feat - there are structural supports hidden in the ceiling that carry the load and span of these doors.

https://weinreich-architects.com/projects/west-67

Thanks, Lilian

**Q: Disappointed with preliminary plan...** *(in Building a Home)*

Hi all,
I'm sincerely hoping the experts on here can give me some advice.
My husband and I are closing on a lot in 5 days and will be building a new house to raise our two small children in. Three weeks ago we met with an architect who designed two houses that we really liked. During our meeting we brought a 3 page list outlining our needs, wants, and dreams broken down room by room. We were hoping that he would use the two houses we liked as inspiration and design something that incorporated our specific needs and wants.
After looking at our pie shaped lot he found that neither of the two houses we liked will fit. So, he chose another house that he has designed and put it on our lot with no consideration to the list that we provided him. 
We feel disappointed that we are no farther along than we were after our initial meeting and I feel that I need to sketch up exactly what I want and bring it to him although that's not my job and I have no idea what I'm doing....
Does this sound like a normal part of the design process or should we run the other way?
Below is what he gave to us. The majors that it is missing are:
Three bedrooms on main floor (master separated from two kids rooms)
Flex space for play area/homework area
Two closets in the master
Mud room separate from laundry
Utility sink
An extra 800 sq ft (we'd like 2400 main floor)
What are your thoughts on the below plan? Give it to me straight...I want all the information possible before following up with him next week.
Any suggestions on how to rework this so it's not so boxy? I value natural light an worry that something like this might be cavelike...
Thank you in advance to anyone who read this and is willing to help out!!!

A: My advise - if the relationship and understanding starts off not well - 99% of the time it ends up badly - get out ASAP and find a sympathetic architect - who can understand your needs and translate that into architecture .................. Good Luck

**Q: Can you please tell me what tub was used in this bathroom? Thanks!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I agree - it is a beautiful bathtub !!

**Q: How big is the shower door opening?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am looking at doing a shower door very close to this, but I am concerned on the space. Do you have the measurements of the lower shower opening? Or the measurement of the available "walking" space when the door is pushed all the way back? Thank you!!

A: The width of the opening is subject to code compliance; the sliding shower door configuration is based on design.

**Q: Where did you get backlit light?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the backlit light. Where did you get it from?

A: Thanks for your interest in my work - the back-lit coves were custom fabricated

**Q: I see the W/D is compact, who makes these duo + where can I get them** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi - My clients selected this compact Bosch stackable washer and dryer - I think there are more efficient ones on the market now.  If you are located in New York City, call me and I will give you my kitchen appliances vendour.
