**★★★★★ — Victory Builders, LLC, April 2016**

> Victory Builders, LLC has worked with R.A. Hoffman for almost 20 years. I, personally live in a Hoffman designed renovation we started in 2000. Over the years Rene and his firm have worked with us to come up with inspiring concepts to work through Land Development. Then brought the concepts home with great plan for me to work off of to build and bring the dreams to reality.

**★★★★★ — Jim, July 2014**

> I use this firm for all my house designs. They are reasonable, creative and timely in their work. I recommend this form whenever anyone i know is going to build or modify their home.

**★★★★★ — Trueblood Design-Build, March 2014**

> It has been our privilege to work with R. A. Hoffman Architects on many projects over the years. Rene's inventiveness, his consistently upbeat personality, and his unfailingly courteous and collaborative manner make every interaction with him a joy - clients love him - and his professionalism and excellent design sense guarantee that every project he undertakes will be a source of pride for all involved.

**★★★★★ — Landscape Design Group Inc., Oct. 2013**

> Working with the team at R.A. Hoffman Architects is always an honor and a pleasure.  Their professionalism and creativity continues to inspire us to raise the bar each time to create distinguished and elegant designs that complement their projects.  Great projects are composed when their is a free flow of ideas across multiple professions and their openness and responsiveness is first-rate.  Hoffman Architects always produce unique and brilliant designs time and time again.

**★★★★★ — Spire Builders LLC, March 2013**

> The team at RA Hoffman Architects continue to impress their clients year after year.  Spire Builders has been fortunate to work with RA Hoffman for over 15 years.  Attention to detail and a fantastic design sense are showcased in every one of their projects.  We are always looking forward to the next project.  It is always a pleasure.

**★★★★★ — David Semerjian Builders, March 2013**

> R.A. Hoffman Architects is an architectural firm I have had the privilege to work with on over a dozen high end luxury homes during the last decade. Rene Hoffman is a true visionary and artist. Rene's designs are not only among the BEST homes that the Philadelphia Main line has to offer, they are homes that transfer from his vision, to paper ,to fruition ,without complication or compromise. I would highly recommend R.A.Hoffman architects.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Windows** *(in Photo Questions)*

Are there regular window inserts to keep the weather out, such as rain?

A: There are not window inserts for this particular porch but I'm sure it is something that can be designed.

**Q: Lighting** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where did the lighting over the table come from?

A: While I can't be certain that it is the pendant that was used in this project, I found this one with a wrought iron finish that seems to be a dead-ringer.

A: That material  is Soapstone

**Q: How many square feet is this house plan?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where is this tile backsplash from?
