AWARD WINNING ARCHITECT FOR 36 YEARS

In 2015 Bruce Nagel was selected as one of the permanently inductees into DAN'S PAPERS - "BEST OF THE BEST HALL OF FAME" as the best architect in the Hamptons after winning this award each year for the past 20 years.

Each residence is a unique project, because we place primary emphasis on a client-related solution, on its particular fit and suitability.

As an initial step, we request our residential clients to record a written program describing their goals for the project and eliciting their wants and needs in as much detail as they wish.  While this program is inevitably altered in the course of working out a solution, the particular tenor of my client's initial program remains a keynote throughout our design process.

We want each project to acquire through this program keynote a strong, clear idea, which is consistent with its organization.  We strive thereby to functionally satisfy our client's detailed needs and to give them something more, something that only architecture can give them, as well.

In our original work on new projects, we have a strong design aesthetic, but we are also particularly respectful of existing vocabularies in performing remodelings, where we direct our efforts toward producing sensitively integrated designs.

We will design a house on all levels, from its site to internal details and appointments, and an interior from its general layout and design to the selection of paint colors, fabrics and furnishings.  While we prefer in doing so to provide my clients with full-services from program analysis through design, specification, contract negotiation and the finish of construction administration and interiors, we are prepared to offer limited services suited to a particular project.

Our work includes country houses and year-round residences, beach houses and other second homes, extensions, interior re-modelings, apartments and townhouses ranging from the very small to the very large and located not only from Manhattan to Montauk, but in Connecticut, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and beyond.

Ultimately, as our philosophy states, no matter how large or how small are my residential projects, or what type, or where they are located, we strive to have happy clients who like their homes and use them well.

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — AR Khan, Jan. 2018**

> Bruce Nagel is hands down the best architect on the East End.  My husband and I had very specific ideas of what we wanted our home to look and feel like. Bruce transformed our ideas into an architectural masterpiece. Bruce understood that he was designing our home for us to live in and enjoy with our family; and didn't have his own agenda, which many East End architects do.   Bruce has a natural flare for color and style. With Bruce,  deep thought does into the simplest of ideas. However, what we loved best about Bruce was working with him.  He never pushed us to spend more than what we wanted to and if we did go over budget, it was always our choice. As a woman, I enjoyed working with Bruce and he respected my point of view.  He didn't need my husband to confirm my decisions. Thank you!

**★★★★★ — Sam Katz, Jan. 2018**

> Bruce is a very talented, creative and hard working architect.  He does a thorough job on the front end of understanding the goals of the client and enabling their vision to be realized.  He is patient in terms of changes and revisions and makes sure the client's needs are met.  His materials are presented professionally using the latest technologies and he is precise and disciplined in the drawing and bidding process.  Bruce looks out for his client's interests in contract negotiations and has a strong sense of how to value engineer.  He is dedicated throughout the project always showing up and catering to the client's needs.  What is most impressive is the passion and commitment Bruce brings to his work - he is genuinely enthusiastic for the client and shares in the exciting emotion of their important project being completed.  Our beautiful house turned out far better than we could have imagined, ahead of schedule and on budget and we couldn't have done it without Bruce!

**★★★★★ — Harvey Radler, Nov. 2017**

> Bruce is the consummate professional. I speak from a great deal of experience as I have done 6 projects with Bruce, our first being our home in Bridgehampton, which won the Architectural Record award as the best new house of 1984.
> Bruce is extremely talented and speaks on all levels and can take you through the project from A to Z with a minimum of stress.
> Bruce can and has worked in any vernacular from contemporary to regional.
> He has wonderful relationships with contractors and tradesmen , and as a result the projects do not get bogged down.In fact, his esthetic allowed us to have Bruce do 3 apartments for us in New York, where he was restricted by rules and still came up with masterpieces.
> Bruce is someone we highly recommend and I cannot give him a strong enough recommendation

**★★★★★ — robert7479, Nov. 2017**

**★★★★★ — Ed Bulgin, Nov. 2017**

> Bulgin & Associates Construction, Inc. has had the pleasure of working with Bruce D. Nagel Architect on multiple projects over the course of 30 years. Not only is Bruce an excellent listener who pays close attention to detail, but is also very professional and respectful of the projects schedule and budget while still being exceptionally creative.
