“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.”

“"Cheryl Newton Architect LLC was wonderful to work with. Cheryl is very professional, creative, caring, and intuitive. She quickly realized our likes and dislikes and was very open to our ideas, suggestions, and working together with us to design our dream home. We had a very challenging lot on a lake and Cheryl worked together with the town, our civil engineer, and our landscaper to make the most of the space we had. If we ever needed to design another home we would definitely use her services again.”

“We worked with Pat on two renovation projects, post-Irene and post-Sandy. We were impressed by her innovative designs, attention to detail, and her ability to secure the necessary local approvals. She has been instrumental in turning our 1920s beach cottage into a more beautiful and functional space, while preserving its original charm. We are thrilled with the outcome and wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“I worked with Aurora on a full-scale condo renovation in Manhattan in the fall of 2018 until spring 2019. She was both the architect, as well as the interior designer for the project. Before even getting to know her, I was initially impressed with the renderings she put together as part of the real estate sales listing. This offered me, as buyer, the opportunity to envision the potential for this unit. Without her renderings, quite candidly, I'm not sure I would have been as eager a buyer, which goes to show how impactful her design aesthetic and vision was. While working with her on the project itself, I found Aurora to be: extremely detail-oriented, engaging, responsive, and reliable. Her design aesthetic speaks for itself, but beyond her architectural and design skills, she was a delight to work with from a client perspective. She is adaptive to feedback and seeks tirelessly to craft the right combination of fixtures, finishes, colors, textures, etc., in order to bring all elements together in a coordinated fashion. She is also attentive to budget, and will work with the client on meeting design goals at various price points. I would highly recommend Aurora to anyone seeking her architectural and / or design services. The love and pride I feel for my new home is a direct testament to her vision and her hard-work to accomplish it.”

“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.”

“I am pleased with the services provided by Home Designing Service. I came in with a draft design for a house. I was limited to a width of 30 feet or less in design. Being familiar with building codes, the designer/architect worked with me to include the items in the floor plan that I wanted while meeting the building code requirements. There were ideas I never would have thought of included to solve design issues. Costs were kept down as well. I would recommend this company.”

“The work he has done for me has always been top notch. I'd be delighted to use him again. He has a good eye - not only for design but for creative solutions to assorted problems one may encounter.”
