The firm specializes in custom home and retirement home residences. The design philosophy of the firm holds that well-executed architecture evolves from an interior layout, where spaces flow naturally from one to another and function to satisfy the clients’ requirements. Stan Makow’s particular strength is listening to his clients, and developing an architecture that is an expression of their lifestyle needs and preferences, in combination with Stan’s own keen design sense. Stan is a versatile designer as evident in his exteriors, which range from classical to modern according to clients’ preferences. Over the years, Makow Associates has developed a reputation for creating exceptional residential architecture.

It was our dream home and Stan made the dream into reality. From the very beginning it was pleasure working with him on layouts and different design options . He is very creative and came up with some outstanding unique features. We requested a French style house which he executed with great proportions but he also combined some modern elements that made it very interesting. The process was seamless from the outside to the inside and Stan’s input to the interior design was also indispensable. > > I’ve also done other projects with Stan and it’s always been impressed with creativity and attentions to detail. I have no hesitation in recommending Makow Associates Architect Inc. **★★★★★ — Robert Klein, June 2026** > Stan Makow and his team at Makow Architects designed and built us a stunning modern home, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The architecture is clean, contemporary, and beautifully executed, exactly the modern aesthetic we wanted, with smart use of light, space, and materials throughout. > > Communication was outstanding at every stage. Stan kept us informed, responded quickly, and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The project was delivered on time with no compromises on quality or design. > > If you want a modern home built by an architect who combines real vision with professionalism and reliability, I cannot recommend Stan Makow and Makow Architects highly enough. **★★★★★ — HU-771859320, Dec. 2023** > Stan Makow Architects and team are stellar in the architecture field.

I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a top-notch architectural firm that can turn dreams into architectural marvels. Their talent, expertise, and commitment to excellence make them a standout choice in the industry. **★★★★★ — Barbara and Avi Barkin, Nov. 2023** > We are immensely fortunate to be clients of Stan Makow. Our project was a full build from scratch of a modern home on a busy urban street. We had scant knowledge of this complex and exhaustive process. From our first interaction, Stan carefully explained the steps to completion, sharing his vision while incorporating our preferences and priorities, and indicating how he and his team were going to support us. He also understood and took into account our overall budget in collaborative decision-making. Stan eagerly applied and utilized his vast experience, capabilities and network of professional resources, both for technical and spatial design, to achieve all of our functional and esthetic (exterior and interior) goals. Projects of this nature typically involve unforeseen challenges, so having Stan as a reliable partner in problem-solving was of great comfort. We are delighted with our beautiful home, an enduring source of pride and enjoyment. Our family, friends and other visitors are unanimous and enthusiastic in their positive impressions. We are grateful to Stan for his continuous care, guidance and advocacy throughout the entire process. **★★★★★ — Shan Xiao Bennett & Wright International, Nov. 2023** > We have worked with Makow Associates Architect Inc on serval projects. We can attest to their uncompromising standards in the design and execution of their clients dreams and expectations. In Makow's safe hands you can be sure your project will be a success. **★★★★★ — Isabel Alves-Vettoretto, Jan. 2020** > My husband and I spent many years planning for our dream home. When the time came to build we did our research as the right architect is crucial to the success of any project let alone one of such magnitude. Makow Associates was the clear choice. After the first meeting with Stan Makow we knew that we had chosen well and that Stan would be able to translate our dream into reality. The quality, professionalism and knowledge of design at Makow Associates is second to none. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this wonderful team no matter the size of your project. **★★★★★ — Gloria Tilson, Oct. 2019** > Love MAKOW , they have incredible designs and their architectural drawings work!!!
