Denise Worker

My husband and I recently completed a gut renovation that involved the combination of two one bedroom apartments in a landmark building in Brooklyn Heights. Lorraine Bonaventura was our architect and collaborated with our contractor to create a beautiful, highly functional space that both accommodated and anticipated our needs. She is aesthetically talented and brings meticulous attention to detail. She is a good listener and was respectful of our desires and budgetary constraints. She was a pleasure to work with and we recommend her without reservation.

Thank you Denise.
It was great working with you and Joe on the apt. combination.
I'm so glad that you both are happy with the new digs.

Lorraine Bonaventura worked with us to do a full gut renovation to our Brooklyn townhouse. Lorraine's attention to detail is what makes her work stand out. We were very happy with the quality and standard of the design and build. She listened to what we wanted for our home and helped us navigated the plethora of decisions that needed to be made throughout the process. We would highly recommend her.

As a real estate broker with Brown Harris Stevens, I have had the pleasure of referring Lorrie Bonaventura to many clients who have purchased townhouses, lofts and apartments in Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Williamsburg, Manhattan and beyond. From broad scope interior design to total to the studs renovation of historic houses, her aesthetic sense is exquisite and she is highly attuned to client needs and preferences. Extraordinarily patient and diligent in all matters, she is also a simply lovely person with whom to work.

Fresh off a beautiful home renovation project, Bonaventura Architect proves that old and new can live seamlessly together creating a unique and thoughtful balance between the two. By carefully considering each aspect of an existing house, new objects, both functional and decorative, add a strong and interesting sense of place and style. No opportunity is missed in an effort to create a strong and powerful concept that allows a home to be firmly grounded in the past but still looking optimistically toward a bright future.
