Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects

Lilian met with myself and my husband to discuss the possibilities for a gut reno on a duplex apartment in downtown Manhattan. She was the epitome of professionalism throughout our relationship. She came up with a fabulous solution to transform what was a two bedroom, two bath space into 3 bedrooms and a den. She went above and beyond to provide floor plans as well so we could visualize her ideas. Ultimately we decided this particular apartment was not the right fit for our family but when we do find the right space and it needs the loving care of an architect we will be using Lilian!

Lilian and her team were terrific in all respects. The finished product came out beautifully. She was much more than an architect for us. She was able to find a general contractor that fit our budget and needs, and worked hand-in-glove with the contractor so that everything went smoothly. For one room in particular, we were having trouble addressing all of our needs in the small space; Lilian kept looking for creative solutions to meet our requests. She was extremely responsive throughout; we felt like she was available 24/7, and no detail was too small for her personal attention. Even when there were questions that would normally be asked of an interior designer (which we did not have), Lilian and her team would graciously respond. For instance, Lilian picked the perfect white paint for our walls and also helped us find a fireplace mantel that was not only exactly what we wanted, but made sure it would be a safe mantel and size for our particular wood burning fireplace. And when the manufacturer delivered the mantel with incorrect sizing, it was Lilian's team that worked through the issue and (without us asking) even obtained a partial refund from the manufacturer for us.

I was so lucky to find Lilian on Houzz. She not only has a keen eye for project design, but she knows how to assemble a top-notch team of experts to address all aspects of a complex project, including engineers of all trades and dealing with the newly established building permit process at the DOB. Lilian is very organized and compiled a comprehensive project timeline that was really helpful. She was always very accessible, as was her entire team, for questions/issues arising along the way. The project involved a complete renovation and partial excavation of a damp, leaky, townhouse basement (cellar) that was slowly crumbling and only partially useable - the unfinished part had a dirt floor. Anything stored down there eventually was ruined from moisture. There is also a stream running under the building, so the excavation of the floor had to be handled very expertly. The space was completely waterproofed, and is now wide open, bright, dry - not one ounce of water leaked into the cellar during all the recent hurricanes. I now have a fully useable loft-like cellar, for storage, laundry, and entertainment. I highly recommend Lilian and her highly competent team.

She is a true professional and honest and charming individual. She is a good listener as well. We have started our project in April 2021 and the results shows how beautiful it transformed our apartment. The process, pricing, and communications were transparent. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a easy and beautiful renovation that stays within your budget.

Liliane is a great architect. She was born in the bauhaus and has grown up from there. Easy to work with and not a time waster. Very responsive and a confidence that is not conceit but competence.

We look forward to executing Lilian's wonderful designs on our next project together. We will be a great partner to install quality craftsmanship and make her and her customer proud.

Working with Lilian was an absolute delight. We found her on Houzz and after speaking with her on the phone and meeting in person, we knew she would be the perfect fit for our project. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the ever changing industry is only the beginning of why you should consider her expertise.

It was my pleasure working with such a talented and detail oriented architect. We look forward to working on many more projects together.

My wife and I were forced to renovate our apartment because of substantial water damage caused by the improper waterproofing of the new outdoor deck on the building set back above our apartment. In retrospect we selected the wrong contractor who was recommended and competitively priced. We provided a substantial retainer. The crew promised completion in 6 weeks. Three months later with no end in sight my wife and I were forced to stay in a nearby hotel. We bumped into Lilian Weinreich, an architect and friend in our lobby. Lilian was working at the time on a couple of renovations in our building. We told Lilian about our situation. Thankfully, Lilian took charge and we were able to move back into our apartment two weeks later. Lilian visited the site daily to ensure that the job progressed according to her construction schedule and that no short cuts were taken. Lilian is a knowledgeable building professional with exceptional management skills and is very talented. Evidence for her talent are amazing alterations in the building with a great eye for detail. We give her a 5-star rating and recommend her highly. When we do out next renovation we will absolutely retain Lilian!!!
