She is an organized, knowledgeable, and resourceful professional who brings clarity, vision, and a calming presence to the table. Anjie is also one of those rare individuals who, despite having so much going on, always manages to make time for you. > > Anjie helped us expand our acupuncture clinic in Chelsea when we took over the space next door. She lead us through a collaborative design process resulting in a thoughtful layout and aesthetic that both patients and staff adore. She held our hands from start to finish, communicated effectively with our vendors and contractors, and kept us on track. We miss our weekly design meetings with Anjie and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services! **★★★★★ — HU-340823566, July 2022** > Anjie Cho is terrific! From our first conversation through the completion of the project she was with us each step of the way. Her work is beautiful and she made the process easy (and fun), connected us with a wonderful contractor and team and the whole experience was seamless. She is highly creative and we loved her ideas for the space, as well, she is detail-oriented, accessible and a delight. > We were trying to get the work done on a rather tight timeline (a full kitchen reno, new bookshelves in the living room, > new floors, upgrades throughout the apartment) and she was incredibly helpful in terms of planning and > process... so much so that the project was completed ahead of schedule. I can't recommend Anjie highly enough! **Comment from Anjie Cho Architect PLLC:** > thank you so much! it was delightful working with you both and I can't wait to see how our phase 2 desk project turns out. **★★★★★ — UWS pre-war coop gut reno, Sept. 2020** > Anjie was our amazing architect for a gut reno of a pre-war coop on the UWS. She is a highly skilled, detail oriented and creative architect. We thought we thought of everything but Anjie ended up with the very creative design layout for our apartment that we went with and love. These attributes alone should make her your architect of choice, but what really set Anjie apart was her singular focus on the client. Both my wife and I are in professional client service industries and we rarely encounter the exceptional level of client service that Anjie provides. She makes herself available and makes you feel like you're the most important project she works on. Additionally, Anjie is an extremely organized project manager that commits to moving your project forward in a timely and efficient manner. Finally Anjie knows the best vendors and service providers with the highest quality at a reasonable price. We cannot recommend Anjie enough. Hiring Anjie was the best decision we make in our renovation process. We LOVE our completely transformed new home! **★★★★★ — Ashley D, Nov. 2019** > I found Anjie through Houzz and the rave reviews she received here were absolutely spot on; in fact, she exceeded our expectations. We have worked with two previous architects on a vacation home and on our current apartment, and they were both excellent, but Anjie took it to another level for us with her time, her attention to every detail, and her expertise in every facet of our complicated renovation. We live in a pre-war building with all kinds of landmark rules and limitations, and yet Anjie was able to organize and expedite all paperwork and approvals and help us through the inevitable headaches of renovating in NYC with her always calm and composed manner. She endured many of my change orders--her response was always: No problem, let's do it! She was a constant liaison between us and our contractors, making the entire experience the best we have ever had. When you work with Anjie, your project comes first. She is hands-on, and her ultimate goal is to design a home that is exactly what you want. Anjie helped us achieve exactly what we envisioned for our home, and it is spectacular. **Comment from Anjie Cho Architect PLLC:** > thank you so much for your kind words! it was so much fun = we make a great team! and your home is beautiful **★★★★★ — Kristina Maximenko, Sept. 2019** > I hired Anjie in 2018 to manage the renovation process at our 2-Bedroom condo on the UWS and couldn’t have been happier. Anjie “held my hand” through every step of the process and provided not only professional advice, but also emotional support. > > From the very beginning, she explained what to expect from the NYC DOB, completed all of the paperwork, was in touch with our building’s Board, Management Company, NYC, contractors and was always available to me to answer questions. She handled each step of the process at the speed of light – I never had to remind her to do anything, quite the opposite – she kept me on scheduled, followed up with all of the parties involved if she didn’t hear back from them within 24 hours and provided very valuable recommendations from the beginning until the end. It’s Anjie who I have to thank for getting our approval for the renovation in record time which saved us weeks of paying rent while waiting for our apartment to be renovated! > > Anjie also managed architectural drawings for our renovation, came up with some wonderful suggestions regarding the layout (certain things I would’ve never thought of) and was extremely flexible with the changes mid-project that I requested. Thanks to Anjie, our renovation project went without a glitch! > > All in all, my experience with Anjie was superb and I can’t recommend her enough. I felt like she was not only my architect, but also became a friend who I missed speaking with on a regular basis after the job was done. **Comment from Anjie Cho Architect PLLC:** > it was such a pleasure to work with you - we did a great job together! and im so happy you a lovely home now for your family !! **★★★★★ — James Yick, Aug. 2019** > Gut renovating an apartment is an incredibly stressful process and Anjie is here to help you through every step of the way. > Anjie was incredibly helpful in walking me through my entire renovation process - planning, designing, deciding on a contractor, picking out materials, dealing with documentation and permits, etc. She was always available via phone or email and very professional. Anjie is also very knowledgable about design and renovations - she was able to advise me on all decisions throughout the project. Her work quality is top notch and I highly recommend her for any renovation project. **Comment from Anjie Cho Architect PLLC:** > thank you James. your apartment is gorgeous and we did a great job together to make it perfect for you! i love it! **★★★★★ — HU-537734898, Aug. 2019** > Anjie Cho led a major renovation in my new apartment - complete gut renovation of a 2BR 2BA 1400sqf coop in Manhattan. This was my 6th renovation over the last 25 years - my comments are in the context of this experience. The project with Anjie went extremely well, was completed on time, and managed meticulously by Anjie, whom I retained as project manager as well as architect. Her advice was always on point and at the same time she was flexible to explore my ideas and resources when I had other preferences. Anjie never missed an appointment, was always on time, and is extremely organized. She helped with all aspects of the process - from managing the approvals to selecting the contractor, and saw the entire project through. The renovation was a major investment. Putting it in the hands of Anjie was the best insurance I had to sleep well at night. One year on since completing it and moving in, I am super happy with our new home, and I get constant compliments from guests. To top it all off.... Anjie is a delightful human being, whose transparency and honesty are coupled with positive attitude and lightheartedness. I can’t recommend her enough. If I had a 7th project to do, it would be with Anjie. **Comment from Anjie Cho Architect PLLC:** > thank you for your kind words. it was truly a joy to work with you to create your home xooxo **★★★★★ — Yanshu Li, Oct. 2018** > We gut renovated a 2,200 sf duplex in Manhattan and came out relatively unscathed due to Anjie's steadfast guidance and amazing project management! In addition to design and architectural services, Anjie helped us source materials, deal with contractor issues and generally steered us through the muck that a first time renovating homeowner is confronted with. We are so thankful to have found her, she's super resourceful, reliable and wonderful to work with! **Comment from Anjie Cho Architect PLLC:** > i'm so thankful to have found you for clients! it was so much fun and it was a pleasure. it was a great collaboration! **★★★★★ — Paul Miller, Oct. 2018** > Terrific!!! Anjie helped me with a full master bath remodel. She is excellent - 100% spot on, easy to work with and charged very fair fees. I would use her again in a heartbeat for any job large or small. I greatly appreciated her creativity, flexibility and down to earth approach. She works very efficiently, which I liked. **Comment from Anjie Cho Architect PLLC:** > it was fun and a pleasure! the bathroom and whole place looks perfect, just as it was meant to be! **★★★★★ — David Kaminsky, April 2018** > Anjie Cho helped me renovate and remodel a luxury home in East Hampton. She did a fantastic job. Everyone who sees the house is extremely impressed with the design, selection of colors, materials and layouts. I highly recommend Anjie to anyone needing architectural and design services. **★★★★★ — Alex Liu, April 2018** > I bought an older junior one bedroom apartment that was in dire need of a renovation last year. As is with most Manhattan co-ops, the Board required me to engage an architect for the project. After speaking with a few architects, some of who were recommended to me by friends, I decided to go with Anjie (who I found on Houzz directly). I could not be happier. She was extremely helpful, a great communicator and cost efficient. Even though I only engaged her to draw up plans (I already had specific designs in mind) and to respond to my co-op board, she was always happy to help answer any questions or concerns I had. For my next home, with a larger budget, I would definitely look to hire Anjie for a longer engagement. **★★★★★ — Hohl Home Furnishings, Inc., April 2018** > Anjie, is a creative and energetic designer who brings great taste and great energy to all her projects. She is also organized and professional in her work. > We have worked with Anjie on a number of projects over the past 4 years always with great results, due in large part to her excellent understanding of the work and ability to manage complex projects efficiently. ## Selected projects - [Upper East Side Landmark](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-east-side-landmark-pj-vj~5974468) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 17 - [Brooklyn Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brooklyn-townhouse-pj-vj~5935929) - Location: Brooklyn, NY - Photos: 44 - [Los Angeles](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-angeles-pj-vj~5853566) - Location: Los Angeles, CA - Photos: 38 - [Lower East Side Hillman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lower-east-side-hillman-pj-vj~6936676) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 24 - [East River 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-river-2-pj-vj~2537533) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 24 - [Sutton Place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sutton-place-pj-vj~5775440) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 10 - [Hell's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hell-s-kitchen-pj-vj~5831214) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 14 - [UWS Duplex](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/uws-duplex-pj-vj~5775433) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 38 - [West 81st Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-81st-street-pj-vj~5419425) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 22 - [Walton Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walton-avenue-pj-vj~5419401) - Location: Bronx, NY - Photos: 17 - [Downtown Zen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-zen-pj-vj~1955210) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 33 - Description: Full gut renovation and apartment combination in the Lower east side of Manhattan NYC. - [Lower East Side 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lower-east-side-2-pj-vj~818460) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 11 - Description: gut renovation of new bathroom, bedroom and living room. new ebony flooring, modern closets, modern bathroom fixtures - [Upper East Side 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-east-side-2-pj-vj~2438823) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 31 - [Lexington Ave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lexington-ave-pj-vj~760166) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 18 - Description: We completed a full gut renovation in an Upper East Side apartment on Lexington Avenue including four bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen, dining and the entry/foyer. - [Upper East Side, Residential](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upper-east-side-residential-pj-vj~311043) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 10 - Description: This project was a full-gut renovation on a Upper East Side Apartment Combination Style: Transitional, Modern, Mid-Century Materials: Custom walnut millwork, all custom moldings and lighting, new tile, custom art deco style kitchen doors, art deco style moldings, custom cabinets, custom radiator covers in daughter’s room, Quartersawn Herringbone natural walnut floors, kitchen island, new motorized solar shades, custom millwork for TV, custom millwork cabinet with hidden TV lift - [East River](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-river-pj-vj~2497586) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 19 - Description: total gut renovation of a mid century apartment in the lower east side of manhattan - 2 bedroom - [Midtown West](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/midtown-west-pj-vj~1566801) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 6 - Description: Gut renovation of one-bedroom apartment condo.
