Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Ithaca

D.G. Dunsmore Architect, P.C.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Ithaca
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 10, 2014
“Mr. Dunsmore was very instrumental in the design and build of our home in Baldwinsville, NY. We decided to have Dave draw up the plans to build our dream home after talking to many professionals. We gave Dave a list of our ideas, a basic plan we found on the internet and he put together a set of plans that that went above and beyond anything we dreamed of. I would recommend him to anyone that can use his various services. Dave was easy to work with and went the extra mile to make our build a very pleasant experience.”
Patrick Flynn, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Ithaca
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 21, 2019
“Patrick listens carefully to people to understand what they are trying to do, and then he applies his extensive architectural experience to helping them turn their ideas into reality. We wanted to expand our 100 year old house while maintaining its character, and Patrick showed us good and bad examples of additions that had been done by others in our historic neighborhood in Corning. His design for the addition complemented our existing house without overpowering it. We received an award from the neighborhood association for the addition, thanks to Patrick's design. Patrick did a great job for us, and we enjoyed working with him.”
John C Driscoll Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Ithaca
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 4, 2022
“Johnny has a unique eye for designing dream homes that not only meet your expectations but also allows the building to settle into the landscape like it belongs there. He is knowledgeable and professional, and he can even help one begin the build process locally in the Ithaca area. I recommend setting up a consultation with him if you have land and a dream.”
Ernie Bayles, Architect

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 8, 2014
“Architectural services are not cheap, but Ernie listened and helped us construct a viable plan, within our means. Professional, courteous and a clear communicator. Highly recommended.”
Greg Abdo
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Ithaca
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 21, 2016
“Greg Abdo is the consummate architectural professional and we give him our highest praise and recommendations. He is honest, hard-working, and a "straight shooter". We worked with Greg from "soup to nuts" on a major home remodeling project that included renovation of our kitchen, living room, and bathroom as well as the addition of a two-story great room. Greg worked closely with us to develop the design that would help us realize the dreams for our home and remained an integral part of the project, acting as the project manager, throughout the construction phase. From the start, Greg listened to our ideas and needs and put his considerable architectural and project management talents to work making them a reality. He brought skilled craftsman to work on our home and was very attentive to our budget and schedule, working through the "rough spots" (common to any construction project) with grace and poise. He has strong relationships within the industry and worked tirelessly on our behalf to get the best value for our project. We are continuing our relationship with Greg this spring to help us with the landscaping phase of our project. Jim and Judy”
Secret Base Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Ithaca
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 2, 2017
“Upon purchasing a home built in the era of the 1960’s, we consulted with and hired Laura Intscher from Secret Based Design to reconfigure the space of the home which was very dated & closed off with all of the rooms separated by walls. The space needed special attention in light of the prior construction with load bearing walls which needed to be opened up for our floor plan desires. Laura was able to understand our desires and offer us a design that allowed for the rooms to be opened up, giving us a room to room flow with a more spacious desired floor plan which is exactly what we were looking for. With Laura, it was easy to communicate our wishes. Her knowledge and understanding of modern design layout and the challenges we were facing with building construction in general, allowed her to design and offer a concept that perfectly fit our wants and needs. In addition, Laura’s past experience and professional relationship with the surrounding Township’s building code department’s requirements, notwithstanding Laura’s knowledge of the processes involved was extremely helpful in obtaining permits and occupancy certificates. We consulted with Laura from start to finish on our project, including colors, furniture placement and fixtures. We would hire Laura again and have highly recommend her to our friends and family.”
Daniel Manning
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Ithaca
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 7, 2015
“As a professional I highly recommend Daniel Manning for both residential and commercial projects. His attention to client needs, design, detail, timeline and cost are what makes working with his company exceptional. Working with Daniel Manning for the past 30 years on various projects as an Interior Designer has been a pleasure.”
Donahoe Group
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Ithaca
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 23, 2016
“The Donahoe group designed our beautiful home. Seven years later they designed a downstair space for out of town guests, and now we have hired them for a garden room design. Why do we keep coming back? It's plain and simple, they take my ideas and turn them into something special! From start to finish it is Always a positive experience. Now the next generation in our family is a customer. Our son is having his house designed by the Donahoe group.”
D.R. Long, Architect + Associates
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Ithaca
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 5, 2014
“Mr. Long took an old 1830s bank barn and made it into our home. The result is a 3,500 sq ft home that overlooks Seneca Lake in the New York State Finger Lakes region. Dan used many windows in his plan and almost every room has a view of the lake. Dan is an innovative and dynamic architect. He has a very wonderful personal style that brought our needs and desires to the forefront in his architectural plans. One could not help to notice that he is very versed in the latest building methods and materials. He does very well with cost estimates and worked with with us to provide varied courses of action so we might be better informed as to our options. Overall, our observation is that Dan Long is a true professional who treats each client and project as special no matter how big or small the job. I highly recommend Dan Long to any prospective client.”
Harmony Architectural Associates Pc

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 17, 2013
“Joshua Oot has been extremely helpful and willing to spend time sharing his knowledge and expertise with us. He has gone above and beyond with helping make our dreams a reality. We have to build an addition to our home for our medically fragile son, and Josh and his company have been extremely flexible and willing to work around our hectic schedule. They understand the importance of this addition and needed it completed in a timely manner. Highly recommend this company!!!”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of an Ithaca 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 local Ithaca, NY architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Ithaca residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Ithaca 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 residential architecture firms in Ithaca, 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.

Questions to ask prospective Ithaca 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?
