What we really liked about Zach was that once the construction started, he was still very much part of the project. He often visited the house (many times unannounced) and made sure things were being done exactly to specs. He cared very much about the quality of the construction, as if it were his own home. > > He likes to use natural sunlight in his plans and therefore lots of windows...which we loved! > > I would highly recommend ZS Design! **★★★★★ — dianespear, March 2014** > Zachary Schweter met with my husband and me for a small job, the scope of which was limited only by our budget, not his imagination! He took a look around and sketched such creative options at different price points to solve the problems in our awkward layout, taking into consideration our lifestyle and preferences, determined by both interesting and insightful questions and opening all our closets and cabinets to see what we're about. It was inspiring to see his ideas for our space and to watch him work. Zachary is a consummate professional and is refreshingly candid, both of which I appreciate. His pricing is fair and he is a pleasure to work with. A great guy with solid knowledge! **★★★★★ — gschoenfeld, March 2014** > I am a window and door supplier and have worked with Zach for the past 15 years on mostly high end custom projects. Zach always works very closely with me up to the most minute details in order to make sure that his projects always meet his clients expectations. This attention to detail is something that I always appreciate when working with a design profesional like Zach. **★★★★★ — happypamela, Sept. 2013** > Zach is a fantastic Architect! He did a fantastic job designing the work he did for us. I had always wanted to move my kitchen to the mud room/garage area because it was a larger space, bordered our deck and faced south. It was hard for my husband to get his head wrapped around the idea. However, Zach was in the same BNI group as my husband. So when we were toying with the idea of updating our existing kitchen we brought Zach on board. With in moments of walking our house he asked if we had ever considered relocating our kitchen to where our mud room was. You can imagine my excitement at having a professional validate my ideas. He was able to help my husband understand why this would be the right way to go. Zach also designed our shed and did all of the necessary work we needed to file our kitchen and shed permits. He is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and has a great eye! ## Selected projects - [New Rochelle Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-rochelle-residence-pj-vj~706157) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: 2-1/2 story addition and gut renovation at rear of existing tudor on sloping lot.

We have been working on personalizing and updating and our next big project is giving the house some curb appeal. It needs help and I could use some suggestions! FYI - We will be re-roofing in the next couple of years, so this will be a long, drawn out process. However, I mention this because the color of the roof can (and will) be changed, so don't let the light brown shingles influence your suggestions! We are thinking of shutters and a new front door for starters, but we are open to all ideas! Thank you! A: House is lacking texture and color - possibly explore a paint scheme that singles out some of the dominant forms - in addition to the trim, columns etc - that were mentioned...too much kitch and it will look cheesy - - shutters are a good way to make the windows look larger on the exterior - but paneled ones are nicer.... also have to be wide enough to not look phony ....also some landscaping in front would be nice - flowering bushes, perenials, etc....changing out the front door to let more light into the entry will also go a long way in improving the spec look nature of this home...also consistency is key - continue effort all the way around the house.... --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
