SHERIDAN INC., Dec. 2015** > We are very happy to provide a recommendation for Studio 511 Architects. We have had the good fortune to collaborate on numerous fantastic projects with Studio 511 over a 20 year span. The design process for high quality custom residences is a very personal process that Tom and his company understand. They are team players and have guided our clients through the maze of details and decisions with sensitivity and professionalism. Their creativity is excellent and they truly care about the entire result taking in all aspects of the design including performance. **★★★★★ — robertleehartman, Nov. 2015** > I hired Tom at Studio 511 to design an addition consisting of a two car garage, bonus room, and patio space. We live in a community with strict requirements on what we can build and plans must be presented to an architectural review board for approval. Tom developed the plans, got them approved by our ARB, and then provided plenty of support throughout construction. The addition is now nearly compete and it turned out even better than we imagined. It just looks awesome. I definitely recommend working with Studio 511 - great design taste and really easy to work with. **★★★★★ — doug\_gail, July 2014** > Tom did an outstanding job planning a complete rebuild of our 1960's Pennsylvania colonial. The design included two additions and a modified first floor layout. **★★★★★ — Andrew Dodson Design LLC, June 2014** > In this modern era, Tom Felton is one of the last remaining renaissance craftsmen. His knowledge and experience as and architect and painter, along with his rich training, provides design excellence and documentation of the highest order. His down to earth pragmatism and good nature make him a perfect practitioner for any client who wishes to be heard. Together with Studio 511, he and his team are well equipped to deliver your project - even in the most challenging of situations. ## Selected projects - [KITCHEN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-pj-vj~220918) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [LIVING](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-pj-vj~599629) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [DINING](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dining-pj-vj~582425) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [BATH](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bath-pj-vj~575480) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [EXTERIOR](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-pj-vj~223115) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 34 - [ENTRY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/entry-pj-vj~220928) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - Description: This Duplex apartment on Park Avenue was completely gutted to the concrete and rebuilt to be a show piece as well as a comfortable home for a young family.

I am doing a built in niche for towels and bath accessories and would love to replicate this exact look and function A: Hello Mmmbbaker, the shelves are loose and sit on adjustable pins that are set into the pre-drilled holes at the insides of the cabinets. Best of luck with your project! ---Tom **Q: What color are the pocket doors?** *(in Photo Questions)* What color and brand of stain did you use? A: Hello Niambi11, Thanks for your inquiry. The color was selected by the interior designer, Ashley Whittaker, and I believe this was a custom mix. Best, Tom **Q: Who makes this tub?** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please send me the tub info to my email? basialtd@earthlink.net Thank you. A: Thanks for the inquiry, Barbara. The tub manufacturer is a Kaldewei and the model is a Centro Duo. Best, Tom **Q: Love the bathroom** *(in Photo Questions)* Is that tile or vinyl on the floor? Also what paint is on the wall? Thanks A: Hello Artikh Nair, the floor is a waterworks basketweave pattern in marble tile. I believe the wall paint is Ben Moore, Cloud White. Have a great day, Tom **Q: Entry** *(in Photo Questions)* Is there a name for this type of arched entry/awning? Is it very costly in comparison to a gabled entry? A: Hello Smellysehll, Thanks for your question. There probably is a particular name to describe this entry design, but unfortunately I do not know it. The style of the house is mainly Arts and Crafts with some splashes of Victorian. The house was built as a stable for a the main house in the late 19th Century and then converted to a house sometime in the mid 20th. We added this entry to the house during the renovation project that we did recently. As to your question about cost, yes, this is much more expensive than a typical gable entry. Typically, anything with a curve is more expensive than straight lines. Good luck with your projects!
