Well-designed spaces should have a positive influence on people; they should enhance their lives, make their work easier, make their entertainment more enjoyable, and make the memories richer. Homes, parks, resorts, offices, buildings of all types, downtowns and cities all have the ability through good design to enrich our lives. Keeping this goal at the root of the design process is the key to great architecture and successful projects. ~Andrew J.

As a professional in the same industry, I know AJA provides clients with much more value than most architecture firms. AJA Architecture creates a design process tailored to their client's design-needs, so the client is able to better understand their own vision, and prioritize their goals. If you're looking for a great architecture firm to help you realize your goals, then contact AJA Architecture. **Comment from AJA Architecture and Planning:** > Thank you Eric. AJA Architecture sincerely appreciates your kind words. And it's always a great experience to collaborate with you and LEAP Architecture on design projects. Looking forward to the next one! **★★★★★ — cuttingedgegroupllc, Oct. 2015** > AJA Architecture and Planning was extremely knowledgeable and great to work with. Attention to detail was excellent. A very helpful staff was always available to assist with any questions. **Comment from AJA Architecture and Planning:** > Thank you Brian. We appreciate the kind words, here at AJA Architecture. And we always enjoy collaborating with you and The Cutting Edge Group. **★★★★★ — KTLinteriors, Oct. 2015** > We hired AJA Architecture to design an addition to our small ranch in Saratoga Springs. We loved the location but the house was too small and outdated for our family. Andy was wonderful to work with. He is easy to talk to, answers questions clearly and met all deadlines. After our initial meetings he came back with a variety of plan options that really showed he listened to our needs. He also made recommendations about things we had not thought of, helped us navigate getting the plans approved and finding the right builder for our needs and price point. He also proved an invaluable resource during the building process. We love our house now and 2 years after finishing our addition, still get many compliments from people walking by. **Comment from AJA Architecture and Planning:** > Thank you Kristen! We enjoyed working with you as well, and we're so happy that you love the new addition we designed for you and your family. > ~Andy Allison, AJA Architecture **★★★★★ — Laura Carusone, Sept. 2015** > This firm is outstanding. They are experienced and personal. I never felt frustrated or pushed into design concepts. I was able to express what I wanted for my new home and addition with ease of communication . I got everything I wanted and loved every step of the way. All the extra kindness and hard work was worth every penny. They took all the stress away while designing and buying my new home. ## Selected projects - [Lakeside Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeside-estate-pj-vj~6375856) - Location: Diamond Point, NY - Photos: 9 - [Grove Lodge at Mohonk Mountain House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grove-lodge-at-mohonk-mountain-house-pj-vj~2070439) - Location: New Paltz, NY - Photos: 5 - Description: The 7,000-square-foot two-story Grove Lodge incorporates the use of native stone and natural finishes to help it blend into the scenic landscape of the Mohonk Mountain House property.

A: Hi, Thanks for asking. We chose a clean and somewhat neutral color palette for the walls, to help bring out the colors of the natural wood, tile, and metal in the other elements. I believe the owner may have selected a slightly different variation of the original color that we specified. I'll look it up from our specifications book and get back to you. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-14.*
