He was willing to work remotely with us while we moved from out of state. He brought fresh ideas and was willing to listen to ours to make a beautiful finished home. He has a ton of energy and passion for his work and is always looking for solutions. We greatly appreciate him and the crew he has helped us put together. I feel he cares deeply about his projects and goes above and beyond for his clients. Would highly recommend. ### All 2 reviews **★★★★★ — Fiona L, Aug. 2024** > I was originally hesitant about using an architect for my project; however, Alain's experience helped me think outside of the box and completely reconfigure my kitchen. He listened closely to my budget concerns and gave me options in my kitchen designs to realize my dream kitchen; something I did not think was possible in my 1940's cape. He was totally transparent and responsive to my questions throughout the process. I could not be happier with the end result and would not change anything! ## Selected projects - [Rab s home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rab-s-home-pj-vj~7712925) - Location: Scarsdale, New York - Photos: 8 - [full remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-remodel-pj-vj~7712921) - Location: Scarsdale, New York - Photos: 4 - Description: project was a remodel to create new kitchen and new master bath., open floor concept with new 2 new stairs: structural issue has to be reeavalued because of existing deficiencies, weak structural shape and bad nsulation: remodeling may turn difficult and we may need to help control damages - [Westport Remodel with SavvyBuildersct.com](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/westport-remodel-with-savvybuildersct-com-pj-vj~7168385) - Location: Westport, CT - Photos: 22 - [Kitchen Remodel In Provence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-in-provence-pj-vj~7170521) - Location: Cotignac, France - Photos: 47 - [Remodeling In Fairfield,CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remodeling-in-fairfield-ct-pj-vj~7168467) - Location: Fairfield, CT - Photos: 28 - [Neapen Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/neapen-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7506362) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Rab, new Rochelle, NY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rab-new-rochelle-ny-pj-vj~7403305) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - Description: we phased the work in a few years to be able to do a complete remodeling if this old Weschester house. - [Fiona, Kitchen remodel Danbury, CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fiona-kitchen-remodel-danbury-ct-pj-vj~5490784) - Location: Danbury, CT - Photos: 26 - [Greenwich remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenwich-remodel-pj-vj~7387335) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Terrence Stamford](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/terrence-stamford-pj-vj~7284207) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - [Kitchen Remodel in Bethany, CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-in-bethany-ct-pj-vj~6514363) - Location: Bethany, CT - Photos: 63 - [Kitchen Remodel in Stamford, CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-in-stamford-ct-pj-vj~7280146) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 31 - [Remodel in Westport, Ct](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remodel-in-westport-ct-pj-vj~7170505) - Location: Westport, CT - Photos: 18 - [Mazaugues provence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mazaugues-provence-pj-vj~7170536) - Location: Norwalk, CT - Photos: 6 - [Eddie Kitchen remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eddie-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~6265874) - Location: Stamford, CT - Photos: 13 - Description: large kitchen remodel, with homeowner living in the house- - [Middlebrook farm rd](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/middlebrook-farm-rd-pj-vj~6284294) - Location: Wilton, CT - Photos: 7 - [Christelle Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/christelle-island-pj-vj~6260944) - Location: Trumbull, CT - Photos: 13 - [remodeling in Manhattan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remodeling-in-manhattan-pj-vj~5553872) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 67 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/investinyourhome-pfvwus-pf~667085704) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/840976770.m3u8?s=c8961fd67b511470bfaf272764082c5b0eafb6c9&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you handle permitting, zoning, and regulatory approvals?** Yes, we can handle permit filing as part of our design services.
