kimberly peck architect

Kimberly is wonderful and I highly recommend hiring her! She is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and timely in her work. She was able to help with a difficult project from start to finish, working with all partners. She was also able to recommend contractors and other professionals as needed. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again or recommend her to friends and family.

We are so happy that we chose to work with Kim on the remodel of our Brooklyn home. Kim was great to communicate with throughout the project. The final design was exactly what we were looking for.

Kimberly Peck was an outstanding architect to work with and my wife and I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s so talented and so calm and relaxed in her approach. A very welcoming energy when you’re about to embark on a chaotic experience of tearing your home apart. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome of our space. Anyone who has gone through the process of renovating knows that it’s a very challenging experience. There is so much detail that you hope you don’t miss so it requires a great deal of hand holding for inexperienced folks like us who would naturally miss so much of what is essential in creating a structurally sound, up to code and aesthetically appealing environment that one could eventually call home. And boy did Kim stick with us the whole way through. Now, that might sound surprising but believe it or not after the design and planning aspect and after the GC gets involved, an Architect usually moves on to other projects and may only come by once in a while to make sure design elements are being properly implemented. But given some unforeseen circumstances Kim went above and beyond how involved she was with our project. It’s fair to say that there was a chunk of time where she was there almost every single day. That is incredibly rare. Kim and Frank, her GC, worked their hearts out and were so committed in making sure that we were not only satisfied with the results but if there was anything that didn’t turn out the way we had pictured they would make concentrated effort to make it look better than what we imagined. It's now been 4 months since our project has finished and she’ll still answer questions and stay engaged with us if we need her. The same with GC Frank. But wow, she truly nailed our home. There hasn’t been one person who has walked in here and wasn’t taken back by how beautiful this space has become. The ideas she presented not only maximized our space but created such a beautiful flow and function through the layout. She transformed this home to the sanctuary that my wife and I had envisioned. Also, Kim is very transparent and honest and does her due diligence the entire way through. She was not only clear on what was or was not possible but she always looked for a better solution. We have nothing but great things to say about her but to finish I will say, she is very reasonably priced. We interviewed a dozen architects and the majority of them throughout numbers we just could not justify. After speaking with Kim we realized why those numbers didn’t feel right. Its an absolute no brainer. Would work with her again. Trust us. Hire her. You will not be disappointed.

In hindsight, choosing to work with Kim was the most important decision we made during our home renovation in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Our decision to work with an architect, like Kim, gave us the advantage of having a professional who knew the implications of design choices when it came to structure, plumbing, and most importantly the city codes. Kim always acted in our best interest as her client. She alerted us to major red flags with contractors who bid for our work, and helped us navigate smart tradeoffs in materials that helped us save money. From our first call with Kim we knew that her extensive architectural experience, unwavering professionalism and impeccable attention to detail would ensure that we could achieve the end results we desired from our renovation. At the start of our project we thought we knew what was possible with our space, but Kim brought out-of-the box suggestions for layouts, recommendations for suppliers and materials and other smart construction choices that helped us achieve a result far beyond what we could have ever imagined! She listened to our needs, respected the budgets and helped us each step of the way from design, to filings, to construction to final approvals. If presented with an opportunity to work with Kim again, we would definitely! And if you're looking for a highly qualified architect give Kim a call.

Kim was a key figure in the renovation of my one-bedroom apartment in a Manhattan brownstone, which also included a rooftop outdoor space. Her architectural expertise was evident throughout the project, particularly in the major redesign of the space and her thoughtful recommendations on achieving a modern, minimalist style. Kim’s support extended well beyond the architectural aspects. She provided invaluable guidance in selecting contractors, vendors, and materials, ensuring that each decision aligned with the overall vision. Her dedication and attention to detail were clear from start to finish. I have great respect for Kim as a highly skilled professional who consistently upholds the highest standards. Her involvement was crucial to the success of this project, and I’m grateful for all of the above and beyond time and advisory provided

I've been tremendously lucky to work with Kimberly Peck: I can't recommend her highly enough--and I do so to absolutely everyone I know who's looking for an architect. Kim and I worked together on the gut renovation of an 1880 brownstone in Brooklyn. The house was in terrible shape when Kim arrived on the project, and we encountered unwelcome surprises at every turn. However, Kim turned this dilapidated structure into an entirely new house within the envelope of the original edifice--and one that is energy-efficient, to boot. Having worked closely with her throughout this effort, I can safely say her responsiveness and professionalism are beyond reproach: I don't think I ever waited more than a business day for a detailed, thoughtful response. Kim is also unbelievably knowledgeable: she guided my decisions big and small, ensuring I had the right information to optimize for budget, practicality, and aesthetics. Finally, it is a pleasure to work with Kim. The process of renovating a property can be filled with anxiety, and Kim's demeanor inspired calm, confidence, and trust at every step. I truly am grateful for the chance to work with her--I couldn't imagine putting my home in better hands.

My family feels very blessed to have found an architect of Kim's caliber to work on our humble house in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. We saw photos of Kim's previous projects and kind of just pointed to them and said we want that, clean, modern, timeless .. but within our budget. Kim was very methodical in putting together our dream home, she drew floorplans for the house showing where walls were to be knocked down / rebuilt, provided exact dimensions / locations for every fixture in the house (toilets, bathtubs, closets, ceiling lights, outlets, light switches), and indicated everything that needed to be updated to bring the house up to the latest city codes. After agreeing on the floorplans then came the details. We took Kim's drawings to the kitchen cabinetry and appliance shop to create our kitchen, we visited showrooms to get inspiration for bathroom vanities, sinks, and mirrors, we looked through tons of samples for tiles and flooring; Kim was with us every step of the way. Kim deeply understood the aesthetic we were looking for and was up to date on modern trends, her suggestions were always on point. Then came the bidding for contractors, approval of the plans with the DOB, check ins on the contractors work, and finally sign off with the DOB. We could not have accomplished all of this without Kim.

I worked with Kim on my home renovation Nov 2021 - April 2022 and I could not recommend her enough! She was extremely knowledgable and professional in every way. She worked directly with my contractor to make sure everything was up to code, and made sure to always keep me in the loop. What an awesome experience and I cannot wait to work with her on my next project!

After successfully completing a full gut renovation, I could not be happier with Kim, she did a great job. She was responsive, actively listened to our ideas, and was a huge value add throughout the construction process. In addition to being extremely helpful during the planning process by suggesting designs and suppliers, she was invaluable during construction to ensure our plans were executed properly. I recommend her with the highest regard and will definitely be using her again for any additional work we do.

Well, I just can't say enough good things... Kim is an incredible architect and was an amazing creative collaborator during my first foray into homebuilding in the Hudson Valley. She was very upfront with her fees, helped move the project along early on with my engineer, and was responsive through every step of the process. My contractors (and me) found her exacting detail work to be endlessly helpful, and the concept I had was only improved by her suggestions for the flow of the house. I could not have asked for a better partner on this project, and I could not recommend Kim enough to anyone doing a ground up project or renovation. You won't regret it!

Can not say enough good things about working with Kimberly on the renovation of our apartment in NYC. She is extremely competent in her profession and super easy to work with. She responds to questions and issues very fast and is a problem solver.

We hired Kim for a gut renovation on our Brooklyn row house, and we couldn't be happier. She was responsive through every step of the process, was active in moving the project along, and suggested contractors that we ended up hiring (who did a great job). She was up front with her fees, and provided us with her vendor contacts so we could get preferred pricing on tiles, lights, and fixtures. She was confident throughout the process and made us feel in control of the process. Highly recommend!

Kim Peck was wonderful to work with. She created a fantastic and unique design for our bathroom renovation that fit our needs. She worked with us every step of the way through out the renovation process and made great recommendations for GC's and vendors. I'd recommend her for your renovation needs and would most definitely work with her again.

I worked with Kim on a full gut renovation of an apartment. From the first time we spoke when I was starting to look for an architect to the completion of the project, Kim was a dream to work with. She worked incredibly well with me to realize my often not very well articulated vision. She had great ideas for the layout and was very accommodating when I wanted to make changes. When the pandemic shut down our project for months she did a great job keeping in touch and making sure that we were ready to go as soon as possible. I highly recommend her.

I hired Kim to lead the full gut renovation of my apartment in Park Slope. Here are some salient points: No 1. She is a wonderfully creative Architect with the communication skills to explain the subtle points of the design. No 2. Effortlessly navigated through an insane co-op board to get the project approved. No 3. Worked very well with the contractor of my choice. No 4. Stayed within my budget while producing an amazing end product. No 5. Eventually hired Kim to decorate the whole apartment - I.e. furniture, lighting, accents, etc...

Kim helped me with the renovation of my NYC townhouse including architectural and interior design. I can only say positive things about the experience with her. After understanding my needs and my modern style, she developed a plan which was both incredibly beautiful, made great use of the space, and technically sound. Kim is a great listener, very personable, and responsive. She helped me with the project from start to finish, including mobilizing the right parties, helping with decision making, and ensuring the contractor work was on track and aligned with the architectural vision. Without a doubt, I recommend Kim as one of the top NYC architects, who is very resourceful and diligent, detailed-oriented as well as creative to address (and exceed!) client expectations.

Kim was a fantastic partner in my project combining 2 apartments in a NYC Coop building. It came with many preparations, COOP board reviews, planning with contractor etc etc and Kim always did this with utmost professionalism, and a positive can-do attitude. Her responses to questions from contractor or me were quick, complete and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone.

Kim is absolutely fantastic! She is truly expert in her field & is a lovely person as well. She has been phenomenally patient & helpful throughout the many ups & downs in my home purchase & renovation process. She is always ready with a set of solutions & optimistic attitude to put me at ease. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I literally count my lucky stars every day that I have Kim in corner, I don’t know what I would do without her!

I combined 2 CoOps in an old 1960s building that proved to be much more cumbersome than I originally thought. I had to fire 2 architects before finding Kim via a recommendation. She was able to figure it out and get everything approved quickly, and also connected me with a wonderful contractor.

With a gut renovation there are endless decisions to make; you really want someone who you can trust and who you can communicate well with. Hiring Kim was the absolute best decision I made; and it made what could be a very stressful process into an enjoyable one. She guided me through every step, from the design process, to hiring a contractor, completing the DOB paperwork, etc.. She is extremely efficient, responsive, and works well with everyone. In my experience, she goes above and beyond because she really wants you to be happy with the end product. I recommend her 100%.

Kim is a pleasure to work with. She is very competent and high quality; she works quickly and is so responsive. She has great ideas and put together a beautiful plan for us. She was always available for questions - even late at night or weekends. She addressed any contractor issue or change in plan easily and readily. We highly recommend Kim as an architect.

While we have yet to complete the construction for a project for Kim so far, we have recommended Kim to work with one of our clients who needed architectural services (which we don't provide). Our experience with Kim, as our clients', has been positive. She is a pleasure to do business with, and creates beautiful, thoughtful spaces here in the city, where architecture and construction is always a challenge. I would continue recommending Kim to my clients, and look forward to coordinating construction phases with her in the future.

We updated our NYC apartment in 2018 - gut renovation of two bathrooms, kitchen, and floor sanding and painting. Our contractors recommended Kimberly Peck as they had worked well together on previous projects. Kimberly drew up the plans, executed all the paperwork required by the city and our co-op board, and advised us on materials, placement of fixtures and overall color scheme. She was very responsive to our initial ideas and worked within our budget. Her knowledge/experience was instrumental in helping us make great choices in tiles, countertops, lighting and plumbing fixtures. She visited our home several times as the work progressed, whenever the need arose. We are thrilled with the results. Thank you Kimberly!

We worked with Kim on a complete ‘gut’ renovation project of our 2,800sf TriBeCa loft. We found Kim through Houzz and decided to meet with her based on the photos of her projects and, even more importantly, unanimously positive reviews of her clients. From the very first meeting with Kim we had a good feeling about her and decided to work with her to redesign the raw space we purchased to meet the needs of our family of five. And she did not disappoint! Throughout the entire process of putting together a proposal, creating architectural design concepts, finalizing plans, obtaining approvals from various city agencies, selecting materials and finishes, bidding the project out to contractors, and overseeing the construction, Kim was efficient, responsive, creative, and endlessly positive! There were a few occasions when I sent Kim panicked emails about things that seem trivial now (but did not seem so at the time) and, every time, Kim patiently responded, explained, offered alternatives and, generally, talked me from the ledge. Kim was good not only with us but with our contractor as well. It was clear that the GC we hired and his team respected and listened to her. She did hesitate to point out any errors and pushed to make sure they were corrected in a timely manner and to her exacting standards. Another element I would like to highlight is Kim’s creativity. She came up with a few, inexpensive, design elements that really pulled the entire project together! All in all, we love our new home and loved working with Kim. We would not hesitate to work with her again, should a need ever arise. And, we recommended Kim to our close friends with whom she is working now.

I can't say enough good things about Kimberly. After meeting with other architects and contractor/architects I decided to hire Kimberly because her design style was compatible with mine - simple, clean, modern. She helped us with the gut renovation of a co-op in Yorkville and came up with a different creative options for maximizing the layout of our apartment. She has excellent attention to detail which is reflected into the plans she draws up; she presented me with options for finishes and fixtures, and worked very well with my contractor. Most importantly, she was always cognizant of the budget and timeline I had in mind. Because of her attention to detail (with fixtures and finishes) we were able to push the project to on time completion. We enjoy our apartment everyday and are thankful that we hired Kimberly to design a beautiful home for us.

Our project was a gut renovation of an Upper West Side 2-bedroom co-op. If you want an architect who is a good communicator, personable, honest, innovative, artistic, a good manager and technically proficient, Kim should be your choice. She is a great listener and doesn't let her ego interfere with her client's best interests. Unlike many architects I've encountered, she truly puts her client's wishes first, but is forthright enough to express her opinion if her vision differs. All of this, and her fees are reasonable. I do not hesitate to recommend her without reservation.

Kimberly assisted me with renovation of my upper east side apartment. I interviewed few different architects and designers before I decided to go with Kimberly. It felt like a great fit for what I was looking for and she ended up exceeding my expectations. She was prompt with all deliverables and was always available via phone or email to assist with any queries. She made multiple visits to the site to ensure work was being done per drawings.

I used Kimberly for a gut renovation of a midtown condo apartment at the recommendation of my designer. She was thorough, conscientious and always on time with submitting and creating needed paperwork and plans. Her knowledge of NYC codes and regulations was invaluable. She always replied promptly to any concerns I had and was available throughout the project if the need arose.

I don't have enough great things to say about Kimberly. Prior to us working together on my apartment I had noticed her work in a couple of location that she designed. Once I found her on Houzz.com it was a no brainer for us to hire her. This was our first project and we literally knew nothing about the process. The whole entire time Kimberly was informative, creative, solution oriented and most of all extremely patient. We fell in love with a small space, around 500 square feet, and storage was a huge concern for us. Kimberly was really helpful and suggesting storage above the bathroom and designed an amazing closet that suited our needs. Another great quality that I enjoyed about Kimberly is her flexibility. During our demolition we discovered this beam in the apartment that we decided to keep exposed and totally rearranged the kitchen last minute. It was a main priority for us to have full kitchen and bathroom without it overpowering the space and we feel that this was accomplished. Kimberly is an amazing resource and she loves to collaborate with her clients. We couldn't be happier with her services we received everything on our wish list and now we live in our dream apartment. We highly recommend Kimberly and her services we have successfully achieved big living in a tiny space!

I contacted Kim regarding filing for a permit with the department of buildings. Kim was very fast with her emails: she emailed me within a few hours of my original email. She was very understanding of my needs and asked questions that I had not thought of that shed more light on my situation that I was unaware of. She was very knowledgeable about the permit process and offered different ideas to solve my problem. The only reason I did not hire Kim was due to location. This seems like a small thing but was important to me in the event that I need to visit her offices. I would highly recommend Kim as she will listen to your needs, is very professional, and she will not give you the run around.

It has been our good fortune to have had the opportunity to work with Kim Peck. She accepted the challenge of a complete renovation of our small beach bungalow. We were amazed by her creativity and thoughtfulness. She presented us with not one, but six different options-simply astounding us. She took on the challenge and far exceeded our expectations. She was always responsive to our questions and concerns in a timely and thoughtful manner. She will be our go to architect on future projects. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering a renovation.

We hired Kimberly Peck to help design and provide architectural support for our total renovation project. Our home was built in 1930 and had undergone several projects over the years. She did her initial consultation (3 total) on-site to get a proper assessment of the space and challenges. She absolutely understood all of our goals and truly understood our concerns She always worked around our schedule and was very accommodating. After this, we were able to do most of the initial work by email. We picked the contractor and she worked with him efficiently and closely. I recommend Kimberly Peck without any reservations!

We hired Kim to do with the remodeling of our apartment in the East Village. She came up with these amazing plans and found incredibly smart solutions for our small(ish) space while keeping its charm and character and being super budget-conscious. Kim answered all of our questions, listened to all our thoughts, ideas or concerns. She was super patient and turned our worries into ideas or solutions. We're so glad we had access to her creative mind throughout this process. She also put us in touch with great professionals to help make the project come true. She's just amazing!

Kim provided the architectural design and the interior design for three floors of our brownstone in Brooklyn. I can't say enough about her professionalism, accessibility and amazing architectural and interior design work. She transformed our house from a reck into a thing of beauty. Everyone who comes to visit is in awe of our place. Kim was by our side for all the difficult decisions and situations. She always came up with a solution (and kept us calm). I don't think we would have made it through the renovation without her. She was able to coach us through some serious issues with our contractor. Our place is truly beautiful and exceeded our expectations due to her. I HIGHLY recommend Kim.

I had a pleasure working with Kim on a few different projects over years. She is a very talented and skillful architect and interior designer. Her classy taste and vision helped me renovate and redesign my apartment. I love to come home every day, dim the lights and enjoy change of wall colors with the different light intensity . Kim was able to blend my special mementos that I collected over years with new furniture and lighting. If you are looking to completely renovate, redecorate, or rebuild your place, Kim is the person to hire. I highly recommend her. Inna

Kim has designed multiple complicated projects for my home with professionalism, expedience, and exceptional creativity. Very quick with design changes and great at interfacing with my contractor. Thanks Kim! Eric Perlmutter

I've had the pleasure of working with Kimberly Peck on two projects - a redesign of a one bedroom apartment in Gramercy Park and an extensive gut renovation of a 4 family house in Brooklyn. Kim's creativity and innovative, thoughtful approach to the design process makes collaborating on any of her projects incredibly fun! Most significant is her incredible eye for detail and keen ability to navigate through building codes, challenges, and unforeseen obstacles - and let's face it, every renovation has plenty of those - all with a calm, task oriented, problem solving approach. I will be having professional photographs of the project available for posting soon. In the meantime, I highly recommend Kimberly Peck's services and would be happy to answer any questions about my experience.

Smart fast and a true partner in every regard. From inception to completion of every detail she goes above and beyond. Can't wait to buy another house just so I could work with her again!

Ms. Peck was terrific to work with! We are both artists living in an industrial space built in the late 19th century. As a result, we wanted to retain the integrity of this loft but also bring it up to date. Kimberly pointed us in the right direction enabling us to find beautiful but appropriate fixtures, cabinetry, hardware, and appliances. For example we used industrial outdoor lighting fixtures to go with our exposed conduit. We stripped the metal entrance doors and sand blasted cast iron radiators down to the metal and they look great. In our closet and painting storage racks we used a gas pipe structure with wood shelves. In the kitchen and bathroom we installed white subway tile 5' up and above that we used a white herringbone pattern to the 11' ceiling. The kitchen cabinetry is a white washed ash using ice box polished nickel hinges. We kept all updates very basic, white paint, chrome, and black. We removed two interior walls which opened up the kitchen/living area. This allowed light to flow into this bright new open space. All floors were sanded and refinished since we have beautiful original maple flooring. The bathroom flooring consists of 18" porcelain tiles with the look and feel of poured cement. Kimberly suggested a Kohler industrial sink which works very well for our paint pots. All photos of the finished project can be seen on her website under "artist's loft".

Kimberly Peck decorated my 4,000 sq. foot Tribeca loft in 2005. She was the interior designer and helped with picking out furniture, window treatments, and implementing practical techniques to make my home feel both comforting and luxurious. She did such exceptional work that in 2010 I hired her in renovating my medical boutique office. I wanted to create a unique space that functioned as a medical office but looked like a boudoir. Kimberly saw my vision and created exactly what I envisioned.

I am very pleased to provide Kimberly Peck my strongest recommendation. Kim basically took a cramped, poorly-designed/outfitted one-bedroom apartment and turned it into a modern, yet comfortable sanctuary, and did it in a way that felt like my own vision. From the initial consultation to the numerous visits to design centers and showrooms, Kim exhibited extraordinary enthusiasm and patience as I accessed my own aesthetic sensibility through her sure-handed guidance. Kim further expertly sheparded my project through the construction phase, with multiple contractors on site at any given time. Architects often disappear during this phase, but Kim took total ownership over the work and was my greatest ally in arriving at a construction deliverable that matched the design spec. I greatly appreciated not only Kim's superb skill at design, but also the emotional intelligence she applied in managing her client's needs throughout a challenging implementation phase, far exceeding my expectations. Kim is an A++.

I have worked with Kim on 3 projects (residential and commercial) and will certainly work with her in the future. She has an excellent sense of flow, and usage of space, and a keen eye for design.

Kim was perfect for our job, and a delight to work with. The project was to gut renovate 3 small bathrooms and, since we were going to have to file with the Department of Buildings, prepare technical drawings of our entire apartment so we could legalize the combinations done years ago. Kim was great on all aspects of the project, from beginning to end. She quickly understood our design aesthetic (even though it was a little different than her own), made great material choices, was always responsive and very attentive to details, and was very effective in working with our contractor.

Kim was very professional and available at any time I needed her for this project. She was knowledgable and had a genuine interest in making sure it was conpleted to my satisfaction and within my budget and timeframe.

I live in Manhattan and have a country house in the Catskills upstate. The house is a contemporary design built in the mid 1970's. The "bones" were great but the aesthetic was completely wrong. We had Kimberly redesign the interior of the entire house - from moving electrical work, plumbing, windows and walls to choosing finishes and fixtures. She is amazing and I have referred her to many friends and clients. Next.... the apartment.
