We were going to be doing a complete remodel of our master bathroom and bedroom and wanted to make sure that this part of the house was complimentary to the other side that had been completely remodeled a few years earlier (we have a ranch style, U shaped house so only one side was done). It was large project, but Kelly and his team, especially Pawel, not only incorporated the two sides together, but we actually think the newer side looks better than the older side does even though they are complimentary of each other. In fact we were so happy with the outcome, that we had them redesign the front stucco and garage so the house looks more modern. Pawel and Kelly did an amazing job. Pawel came up with some very creative details that really added to the job (after all its the little details that make one house stand out from another). I would highly recommend Cusimano for anyone looking to do a major renovation or new build in the future. **★★★★★ — Noni T, Dec. 2024** > We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kelly and his team to design our dream home in Houston, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Kelly took the time to listen to our needs and preferences, ensuring that every detail reflected both our style and practical needs as a busy family of four. > > His attention to detail was truly exceptional, and he guided us through the design process seamlessly, balancing functionality and aesthetics in a way that exceeded our expectations. It was clear throughout the project that he truly cared about creating a home that would stand the test of time. > > The end result is a stunning, thoughtfully designed home that reflects our family’s personality and lifestyle. It has been such a joy to see our ideas come to life, and we are incredibly grateful to Kelly for bringing this vision to fruition. **★★★★★ — J Gutierrez, Nov. 2024** > Cusimano and his team did an excellent job designing our home. They were involved throughout the planning AND building process. They have excellent taste, they are experienced, and they are wise. They listened to our concerns and literally turned our dreams into reality. Highly recommend Cusimano. **★★★★★ — Jose Almodovar, April 2023** > Cusimano Architect's are are great local business that has a solid reputation with the Houston community. Please support our local businesses! Thank you Kelly & Daniel Cusimano for your contributions to the Houston landscape and for being the backbone of our local economy. **★★★★★ — Lisa kalavar, Dec. 2022** > Kelly and his team are incredibly professional and designed our new home from scratch. They were incredibly responsive to our feedback and successfully designed a house that met our criteria of functionality as well maximizing natural light and beauty overall. They also worked very well with our builder and our interior designer, creating the perfect team. We found the design and building process to enjoyable as a result and would work with Kelly and his team all over again! **★★★★★ — Lauren, Aug. 2021** > Kelly and his team are absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I decided to go the custom design route for our new house and chose Kelly based on previous work we had liked. He did not disappoint. Kelly and his team really focused and listened to what we needed as a family with 3 small children. They brought us a unique floor plan that focused on balancing spaces that are both functional and distinctive, it truly feels like this home was meant for us. The Cusimano team is top notch; their professionalism, communication and expertise is incredible and they offer several perspectives and guide you in every step throughout this process. This was such an incredible experience and we are excited and blessed to raise our family in our new home. I highly recommend Cusimano Architect to anyone who is considering home design. **★★★★★ — Ryan Gurney, Aug. 2021** > Kelly and team are the best and we highly recommend them. > > We engaged Kelly to help with a multi-phase remodel + extension of our 1930's house in Southampton. Prior to purchasing, Kelly walked the house with us and gave some initial impressions. We closed on the house and began working with Kelly and Luis on phase one of the remodel. The Cusimano team was incredibly creative and thought of a floorplan that we never imagined. Phase 1 is done and we're now living in the house. The Phase 1 living areas are thoughtfully planned and a highlight of our home - making us eager to begin the remaining phases. No doubt that we'll work with Cusimano on the future phases as well! **★★★★★ — Caitlin, Aug. 2021** > We can not recommend The Cusimano Architect firm highly enough! Our project was a 1920's home remodel with some very challenging structural obstacles to overcome. The staff exceeded our every expectation! > It was our hope to maintain the quaintness and cozy feel of our bungalow, while also accommodating for the modern day needs of a family of 6. Their creativity and attention to detail were outstanding. I truly felt listened to in our unique desires for our home. They brought the expertise needed to make our house live up to the potential I always knew it had! The Cusimano Architect firm has indeed blessed our family. We have a beautiful and sound structure within which to raise our family and one where we can be at Home. Thank you, Kelly, Luis, and all those behind the scenes who helped on this project! We are forever grateful. **★★★★★ — Scott, Aug. 2021** > Kelly and team designed and helped build an amazing home for our family. The level of detail during both the design and construction phase allowed the builder to execute to a high level of precision. As it relates to the design, our home is extremely unique incorporating structure and material concepts not seen in our neighborhood. If we build another home we're using Kelly Cusimano. **★★★★★ — HU-719229480, Nov. 2020** > We've seen numerous completed projects that had Cusimano Architect's fingerprints all over them. The attention to detail on every project is the reason we chose Cusimano Architect for our project (renovation and addition on a 1960's home). From our experience, if there is one word I would use to describe Kelly, it is "adaptable." As our plans evolved, the team at Cusimano Architect walked alongside us to ensure we would love the finished product, and they were honest enough to talk us out of our own bad ideas. Kelly and his team are rock stars. Their work speaks for itself. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Cusimano Architect all over again. **★★★★★ — Andrew Seerden, June 2020** > I would highly recommend Cusimano Architect. We hired Kelly to design our Houston Heights area home on a small, unusually narrow lot. Our vision was something along the lines of a contemporary/modern brownstone with a front loading garage that would help maximize the outdoor spaces and yard. We also wanted to maximize the relationship of the indoor/outdoor living areas. Finally, we wanted a relatively efficient from a space and size perspective. > > Kelly and his team hit the ball out of the park on all fronts. They carefully listened to us at our meetings and their design made our ideas and "wants" come to life. They were always very responsive and punctual and gave realistic timelines, which is invaluable while going through such an endeavor. They also helped us choose builders who would be good for our project, helped coordinate some of the important design elements with the builders and were always responsive to any issues we had during the building process. > > The final result was exactly what we envisioned and more. We simply love our home, are very glad we chose Cusimano and would do so again. **★★★★★ — Daren Bartula, April 2020** > My company and I have been working with Kelly Cusimano and his team for 7 years. I have been the builder on many of his projects from small remodels to multimillion-dollar homes and the amount of detail and thought that goes in to even the smallest detail is always consistent on every job no matter the size. I hired his company 6 years ago to do a second story addition on a 1950's in oak Forest and 2 years ago to design my own home and his wealth of knowledge an experience helped me to build a very well-thought-out and efficient home that works great for our family. I would recommend Kelly and his team to anyone who is looking for someone who will put thought and care into the look, design and use of your home or remodel, not just providing you the space you need. It is so important to have a team that works together well and listens to you needs in order to get the home you want and Kelly will deliver that. ## Selected projects - [Del Monte](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/del-monte-pj-vj~6119356) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 7 - [Inwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/inwood-pj-vj~6119420) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 7 - [Drexel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drexel-pj-vj~6119391) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 8 - [Edloe](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edloe-pj-vj~513277) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 14 - [Shakespeare](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shakespeare-pj-vj~2560473) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 12 - [Shady River](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shady-river-pj-vj~1398743) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 15 - [Swift](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/swift-pj-vj~2549155) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 12 - [Chesapeake Way](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chesapeake-way-pj-vj~6119410) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 5 - [Gardenia](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gardenia-pj-vj~3145420) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 12 - [River Oaks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-oaks-pj-vj~513303) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 14 - [Bolsover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bolsover-pj-vj~1438601) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 13 - [Deerwood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deerwood-pj-vj~513290) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 13 - [Locke Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/locke-lane-pj-vj~276198) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 8 - Description: Completed as Associate Architect while at Jay Baker Architects - [Emerson carriage house studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/emerson-carriage-house-studio-pj-vj~109617) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Brenham](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brenham-pj-vj~276581) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 5 - Description: Completed as Associate Architect while at Jay Baker Architects - [Heights Blvd](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heights-blvd-pj-vj~276580) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 4 - Description: Completed as Associate Architect while at Jay Baker Architects - [Milford Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/milford-townhouse-pj-vj~276586) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 6 - Description: Completed as Associate Architect while at Jay Baker Architects - [W 32nd Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/w-32nd-street-pj-vj~6119442) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 5 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/cusimano-architect-pfvwus-pf~562222303) ## Community Q&A **Q: Paint Color** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the white.
