After graduating from Syracuse University in 1978, I had the fantastic opportunity to study in Italy and tour Europe. Upon returning home, I began working for a number of small, medium and large architectural firms on a wide variety of projects. I've worked on everything from small residential additions to billion dollar mixed use urban projects. In 1995 I started my own firm as a sole practitioner, originally in Hartford and now at 8 Bishop Road in West Hartford where I live with my beautiful family. I work on a few projects every year which include new custom residential work, boutique retail and small commercial projects. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Architectural Drawings - Custom Homes - House Plans - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Sustainable Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Energy-Efficient Homes - Floor Plans - 3D Rendering - Green Building - Bathroom Design - Space Planning - Universal Design - Home Restoration - Historic Building Conservation - Construction Drawings ### Areas Served - Hartford - New Britain - West Hartford - Bristol - Manchester - East Hartford - Glastonbury - Newington - Windsor - Wethersfield - South Windsor - Farmington - Simsbury - Bloomfield - Rocky Hill - Avon - Plainville - Canton - Kensington - Glastonbury Center - Simsbury Center - Collinsville - West Simsbury - Weatogue - Canton Valley - Canton Center - East Glastonbury - East Windsor Hill - North Canton - South Glastonbury - Unionville ### Typical Job Cost $20,000 - $750,000 Costs range based on the scope and scale of the project. ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Joseph A Buchek AIA Architect LLC | | Address | 8 Bishop Road, West Hartford, Connecticut 06119, United States | | Phone | (860) 698-4122 | | Website | https://jabaia.houzzsite.com | | License Number | ARI.0009094 | | Followers on Houzz | 102 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/JA-Buchek-AIA-Architect-212996398767101/ - LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-buchek-6252689/ - Blog — https://api2.enscape3d.com/v1/view/e298b58f-db6e-4e8b-8693-52c0c7b18e0e ## Offers Call For Virtual Free Consultation! ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Joseph A Buchek AIA Architect LLC](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/joseph-a-buchek-aia-architect-llc-pfvwus-pf~1702901965) - **Website:** https://jabaia.houzzsite.com - **Phone:** (860) 698-4122 ## Credentials **Verified License** - Number: ARI.0009094 - Type: ARCHITECT - Issued by: State of Connecticut **Certifications & Awards** - American Institute of Architects - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2018), for Service. **Affiliations** - [The American Institute of Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/the-american-institute-of-architects-pfvwus-pf~1350720471) - [AIA Connecticut](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/aia-connecticut-pfvwus-pf~26283011) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 4 reviews** ### All 4 reviews **★★★★★ — Laura Keever, March 2017** > Joe was great to work with. Delivered plans on time and made necessary and requested adjustments to our project.

We would definitely recommend Joe for your residential architectural needs. **★★★★★ — bjimi2022, Feb. 2017** > We hired Joe Buchek as our architect in a restaurant buildout.
