Floor Plan Companies in Paramus

“Xiomara and the team at Paredes-Grube were a pleasure to work with during the renovation of our turn-of-the-century home. We were specifically looking for an architect with experience preserving the charm of older houses, and several neighborhood recommendations pointed us directly to Xiomara. We felt we were in good hands from the initial consultation through the design process and the completion of the construction documents. Their recommended network of contractors and kitchen designers was excellent; the professionals we chose did such a beautiful job that we could not be happier with the result. At our initial consultation, Xiomara listened closely to our vision and asked insightful questions about our lifestyle and how we planned to use the renovated spaces. We truly appreciated the thoughtfulness of her approach and her focus on functional design. We iterated on concept drawings until we were happy with the proposed layout. At each step, Xiomara explained in detail why she designed things a certain way or why certain requests were not feasible or recommended. The flow of the house now makes perfect sense; the rooms were planned to maximize every square foot, even accounting for future furniture placement during the earliest design phases. The detailed design documents followed, including all side elevations, which we refined further. Xiomara and her team were always responsive to our revisions. They were knowledgeable about projected costs and town regulations, and they were incredibly patient as we explored every possible design option. As a result, we are confident that we ended up with the best possible design for our needs. One area for improvement—which may already be addressed for more recent clients—would be the inclusion of 3D renderings. While we worked primarily from 2D elevations, we believe 3D models would have helped us grasp the geometry of the additions more easily and allowed for even faster decision-making. Finally, the construction documents were completed without any major issues. When a few revisions became necessary due to unforeseen structural conditions and town official requests, the team delivered them with a very quick turnaround.”

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Clawson Architects on our full-home renovation. We came to our first meeting with three goals for the project: a second floor addition, plenty of natural light and a design which relates to and elevates the existing neighborhood. From that moment to the final completion, Marvin and the team were fully committed to working with us to understand what that meant and how it could be achieved within our budget. The whole process felt like a true collaboration and resulted in a home which fulfils everything we were hoping to get from it. It's been amazing to see the way the light flooding into the house changes as we start to shift seasons and how the flow through the house has been refined to suit our own personal needs. The design itself has the exact balance of mid century and contemporary which we were hoping to achieve. We've received numerous lovely comments from our neighbours and noticed how almost everyone who passes by cranes their neck to take in the building - I think we've really made something special which doesn't just make us happy but is really putting something back into area. Friends, family and colleagues have asked us about the renovation process, expecting us to have all these crazy stories about how hard and stressful it was. But in truth, although there were certainly bumps in the road, we have actively and thoroughly enjoyed the project from start to end. We put that down to the amazing teams of people we were able to work with.”

“Several years ago, we decided to renovate our home purchased in 2005. The extent of the project is massive as we were prepared to completely change the layout of the first floor and basement. We interviewed three architecture firms for the design work and selected Addesso Architecture based on Tony Addesso's knowledge and experience. We were so impressed by his experience in designing commercial hotel and office space that we subsequently hired him to be the interior designer for the renovation project. Tony spent time with both of us and listened attentively to our expectations for the project. The spacious open floor plan he came up was stunning with many innovative space solutions and features that far exceeded our expectations. Tony also picked all the materials and fixtures for the project. He is so good at maximizing the appeal of the materials and fixtures within constraints of the budget which stems from his extensive experience in designing commercial spaces. We constantly get praises from our friends regarding the overall design and choices of materials and fixtures for our renovation project. Tony worked seamlessly with the general contractor we chose. The two phases of our renovation project were finished on time and within the initial budget. We are still working with Tony on third phases of our renovation project. We highly recommend Addesso Architecture to anyone who is planning to renovate their home.”
