Wadia Associates

New York County, NY Architects and Building Designers

September 13, 2016

“Wadia Associated exceeded our expectations on all fronts. We designed, built, decorated our home and landscape design with Wadia associates. We appreciated them listening to all our thoughts and taking the time to understand what we value, what is most important to us and how our family functions to design and build the perfect home for us. The personal attention was something that we did not imagine or expect- they were there every step of the journey, The insights they gave us based on their wealth of experience proved to be a hugely beneficial from a cost perceptive as well making our home to be of exceptional value. Great service at a great cost is something that every client seeks and we are so pleased to have received that with them. We were able to design and build the house while having three children under 5 years old because we did not have to be concerned with the process. Wadia associates managed the project so well and seamlessly while staying within our budget and timeline. They were exactly on time, even with two terrible winters. We are beyond happy in our home and hope others can experience the joy of building with them.”

“We hired Read to be our architects and designers for a full gut renovation of a Brooklyn townhouse and could not be more satisfied with this decision. We were first drawn by their aesthetics and then quickly came to appreciate several other aspects of their work including their communication skills, and creative problem solving. Their design is exactly what we were looking for and makes us feel instantly relaxed. It strikes a subtle balance between modern aesthetics and historic details. What was also very important to me is that every square inch of the house is optimized, there is no lost space. Come and his team have been very upfront and transparent throughout. They shared with us a clear roadmap for the project from start to finish, used a retro planning tool to keep track of everything and keep everyone accountable... a little bit overwhelming at first but very efficient! When we faced challenges from city agencies, they quickly came up with several solutions to resolve them. When creating a brand new staircase they found a creative way to achieve the look we wanted for a fraction of the price. At the end of the day, a gut renovation in NYC can be a very overwhelming project and working with Read has allowed us to alleviate a lot of the stress related to this project while staying within our set budget. Also, they are fun to work with!”

AMMOR Architecture LLP

“Have you done a gut renovation of an apartment from 2500 miles away? We did. The single decision that made the project a success and got us our dream home was working with TUG studios.From concept drawings to choice of contractors to final completion, they were available and responsive. Tom and Goil heard everything we said we wanted for our 2200 sq ft. triplex apartment. They even figured out a lot that we did not say and translated all that into a coherent whole that met with all our many requirements, from fabulous kitchen to LOTS of counter space to flattering lighting plans and color schemes. Most importantly, while not compromising on quality, they paid attention to our budget. The challenge was to make a dark and chopped up apartment with small rooms into a modern airy space. TUG's designs made really radical changes in the floor plan, moving the living room and kitchen from the parlor floor to the second floor and putting two bedrooms and baths where the living room and kitchen had been. If we had to do any kind of design or remodel in future, I would not do it without TUG.”

She is courteous, professional, and always a pleasure to work with.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a New York County home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through New York County, NY interior architects and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best New York County architect for my home design project?

It is best to hire a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire New York subcontractors, which can include the builders, engineers and landscaper. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the New York County residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different architecture firms in New York County, NY provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

What sort of process can I expect from a residential architect?

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm or individual that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. There should be plenty of meetings between you and your building designer until you have agreed upon a design that you are completely happy with. Always keep in mind that the designer will have building codes to follow, and likely pre-existing design limitations when dealing with a remodel, so while they might not be able to execute your exact ideas they always have your safety and aesthetics in mind. One of the most important duties of a residential architect is to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors, so you can expect them to be present throughout the entire building process to ensure everything is executed as planned.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have somewhat of an idea of the style of house architecture that you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Residential architects in New York County, NY are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective New York County interior architects:

What is your fee structure?
What does the cost include?
Do you have professional liability insurance?
Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
What is your experience with similar projects?
When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
Can you provide me with references?
Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
What do you estimate the cost will be?
What will I need to provide?
Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
