“We were very happy with the the whole project and especially with the design. Eric is easy to work with and very professional. He is able to understand the client's desires and transform them into something unique.”

“We hired Dan and his company to do a renovation on our 1836 era home. They designed an open kitchen floorplan, added a stone fireplace, a butler's pantry, and office, and reconfigured our back entry and laundry room. They also added another bathroom upstairs and extended our patio outside. I loved that he reused original materials and also sourced beams, etc. that matched the home. (They found an original floor beam that was not in good enough shape to continue support, so they replaced this and he suggested using the good part of this beam as our new mantle. It looks great and I love using an original beam in a prominent place in the new room.) The design gave us an updated and more efficient way to use our old house, while keeping with the traditional look and feel. We also really liked the way Dan charged for his services. Instead of a percentage of the total job - which creates the incentive for the architect to increase the size of the job, Dan charged by the hour of his time. We could call him at any point in the job to come oversee the contractor or consult. And were always happy with his involvement. We felt that he and his firm were a great value.”

“Foster Architecture does beautiful and well-conceived work. His approach to problem solving is both professional and calm. My project was a renovation of a 1970’s builder’s contemporary that was visually disorganized inside and out. Foster re-organized and balanced the spaces, completely transforming the interior and exterior with small aesthetic changes throughout, while integrating the building into the surrounding land, giving the house an up-to-date 21st Century look and quality. Foster’s knowledge of the aesthetic use of materials is comprehensive and creative. I highly recommend his work and look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“Trillium architects designed a beautiful home for us in Connecticut. I feel the house reflects what we wanted to achieve and for the past 4 years have been extremely happy here. We have space, light and a nice flow to every room and we receive many compliments on the exterior as well.”

“Designed and supervised the construction of our retirement home on the coast of Prince Edward Island. He worked with a construction company who had never worked with an architect before.”

“They compliment their architecture with great interior design follow up. Their knowledge of materials and experience with them finish a home with comfort and style.”

“The design is exceptional and fulfills all our family needs. Very well placed openings give much light to the interior and great visibility to the exterior. Good solid construction. Very satisfying.”

“Cristiane Ortiz has excellent taste, and the real world know-how to achieve a really great result. She is very professional, very pleasant, and very easy to deal with. She is a very responsible person and cares about every details and tries her best to save money and best of all. I guess the good thing about hiring Cristiane was her vision and her meticulous attention to detail in execution. Her remodeling project for our master bathroom is astonishingly beautiful.”

“Helped in the development of a fitness studio in Briarcliff Manor NY. Very professional from start to finish. Also made valuable observations to enhance the project and add to the quality of the final design and construction.”
