Paulo has an “out of he box” aesthic, tempered by practrical execution. Staff is professional, and delivered high quality work within budget and deadline. **★★★★★ — Christine Lee, Sept. 2019** > Paulo and his team are talented architects and designers, but also listen and remain considerate to the client’s needs. The work this team did on my new construction residence was outstanding and I highly recommend them for any project. I would absolutely hire this firm again. **★★★★★ — Keith J. Manca Building Company LLC, May 2018** > Vicente Burin Architects are truly a visionary firm, with Paulo and Martina at the helm their designs are always innovative and timeless. **★★★★★ — Melanie Ruggieri, May 2018** > Paulo and his team were wonderful to work with! They helped transform our 1950's garrison colonial into a modern farm house. They listened to our goals to improve the exterior aesthetic of the house while creating a modern interior floor plan that worked for our family. Their selection of materials provided us with the appearance we desired while being durable and practical at the same time! We would highly recommend working with Paulo! **★★★★★ — Anna Massion, May 2018** > VBA did a great job on Phase I of my renovation in 2016/2017 and we are using them again for Phase II which should start in a few months. My neighbors also used VBA for Phase I and are using VBA for their current renovation **★★★★★ — Heine Development Corp, May 2017** > I have had the privilege of working with Vicente Burin Architect for many years. I have retained them to design several spec homes and many of these have won a number of awards. The designs that they create are both innovative and classic. Recently I have had the opportunity to construct homes that they have custom designed for individual clients. In both of these instances I have found Paulo and Martina to be responsive, very clear with their visions and expectations of excellence. It has been an honor to work with them and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking architectural services. ## Selected projects - [Coastal Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastal-cottage-pj-vj~2522431) - Location: Greenwich, CT - Photos: 8 - [Saltbox](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/saltbox-pj-vj~2522405) - Location: Westport, CT - Photos: 12 - Description: THIS QUINTESSENTIAL NEW ENGLAND COLONIAL UNDERWENT A COMPLETE RENOVATION & EXPANSION.
