Choura Architecture, PC   
Architecting from the inside out.

Choura Architecture is a full service architectural design firm specializing in high-end residential architecture in Scarsdale and Lower Westchester.  Our services range from new construction, site planning and design development to renovation, additions and restoration, including representation at meetings of architectural review and planning boards and boards of appeals.

The distinct style of a home designed by Choura Architecture originates with a nurtured idea of warmth and a welcoming spirit which imparts itself from within the generous space of the interior, through the fluidity of line, and receives itself comfortably and elegantly amongst its neighbors and surroundings.  On approach, a Choura Architecture home is seen sitting comfortably and gracefully among its neighbors and within its surroundings.

**★★★★★ — Bilotta Kitchen & Home, June 2019**

> "I have worked with Bana for years and all I can say is she’s among the best of the best. She is a true professional and collaborating with her is at the same time inspiring and exciting. She is open to working with other professionals and letting each party bring their expertise to the table. She knows what she excels at and what I excel at and together we create something magnifique! Bana listens to her customers – she makes them feel as though they are the most important person at that moment in time. And she takes those conversations and turns them into reality. She is also very flexible – she’s not, for lack of a better work, “stuck” on one design aesthetic but is flexible depending on whether her client is looking for something more traditional or more contemporary. She doesn’t push them either way and, by listening to them, she helps them come to realize what it is they want since very often a client has trouble articulating that. And she is equally successful in both kinds of designs. One of the things I love about Bana’s designs is how she brings the outside in with large windows – very inviting! I highly recommend her and look forward to several more years of collaboration."  - Fabrice Garson, Bilotta Designer

**★★★★★ — B Fein Interiors LLC, June 2019**

> I've worked on several projects with Bana over the years.  She's very creative, easy to work with, and strives to exceed her clients' expectations.   I recommend her highly!

**★★★★★ — Riemer Kitchens & Fine Cabinetry, June 2019**

> We have had a professional relationship with Choura Architecture for many years. As kitchen designers, we appreciate their attention to detail and knowledge of our industry. The staff is always available to answer questions and their professionalism is unmatched. We always enjoy our collaborations and highly recommend this firm.

**★★★★★ — Susan Marocco Interiors, Oct. 2015**

> I had the pleasure of working with Bana Choura and her team on a residential project in which the footprint of the home was being expanded.  Two additional bedrooms were added and layout of living room and dining room re-configured.
> Bana is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. She listens to what the client envisions and more than delivers beyond their expectations.

**Comment from Bana Choura/ Choura Architecture PC:**

> Hi Susan, you were wonderful to work with! We hope to collaborate with you again soon.

## Community Q&A

**Q: This Kitchen Before & After Is WORLDS Apart** *(in Before & After)*

Look at this space! A dark, outdated kitchen with an island cooktop has transformed into a bright contemporary kitchen with large cabinets, tons of storage, a powerful cooktop and vent, a multi-level eat-at island... Well it's just a brand new space!
What do you love best about the change?

A: Beautiful project! great choice of lighting

**Q: Before and After Teal Court** *(in Before & After)*

Upon the purchase of a new home, my young clients wanted to transform a drab living room into a room that their family could love. White wainscoting, floor refinishing and a fireplace makeover set the stage for some beautiful lighting and furniture. by: Oliver Designs.

A: Beautiful job!

**Q: Before/After Kitchen Remodel** *(in Before & After)*

We finally remodeled our kitchen. The home was built in 2006 and we were never keen on the kitchen cabinets.  With 10' ceilings, we didn't like the amount of open space above the previous cabinets.  So.....we spent some money and are very pleased with the outcome.

.

A: Fantastic! the upper cabinet lighting is a great detail

**Q: Bloomfield Hills Transitional Kitchen Transformation** *(in Before & After)*

This 1980's style kitchen with bulkhead soffits and stock cabinetry gets a brand new, must see makeover.

A: Very nice update of the space!

**Q: Master Bathroom Renovation** *(in Before & After)*

I've lived in my 1928 bungalow for three years now. For the past year and a half, I have dreamed almost constantly about renovating the master bathroom. The bathroom was usable when I purchased the home, but uncomfortable. The shower was barely large enough to do a 360 turn without brushing against the curtains, the jetted tub was deemed "uncleanable," and for some reason, the 82" vanity only had a single sink. On top of everything, the style of the 1980's addition did not match the rest of the home.
A year and a half of detailed planning, to-scale MS Paint drawings, material selections and savings has resulted in my finished master bathroom renovation. Everything in the design was selected, purchased and ready to install before even hiring a contractor. Detailed drawings were provided to the contractor showing precise layout plans. The design is 100% my own, and I am extremely proud of the end result :) 
I plan to hang three smaller pieces of art (most likely antique satirical cartoons) to the right of the console sinks. I also have a small antique pine cabinet that will be hung above the toilet once I figure out how to mount it without damage.
After:



Before:

A: Beautiful job!

**Q: Love the wall tile and the tub. Where are they from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thank you for your question and you interest in our design!
The tiles used were a gray limestone, available in most tile suppliers. There is also a similar porcelain tile from Porcelanosa which is much less maintenance.
