“The centerpiece of our home renovation was a floating, black walnut spiral staircase envisioned by Jibe Design principal Juliet Whelan. It is breathtaking, and brings architectural distinctiveness as well as light into our row home. The project also gave us several more feet of precious space thanks to the removal of a chimney we did not realize was behind a wall. Whelan came into our space and saw all kinds of fresh possibilities, but also succeeded at learning and honoring our aesthetic. It was a pleasure to work with Jibe Design. From start to finish, we appreciated the design sophistication, professionalism and good communication.”

“We hired Primiano Architecture to design an addition for our house. We had no experience dealing with an architect or doing a home improvement project of this magnitude. Primiano Architecture was recommended to us by an acquaintance. From our first meeting with Joe we knew he was the right person. He was honest, intelligent and most importantly he listened and made suggestions. It was a true partnership. Joe worked closely with us throughout design, township approval, choosing a contractor and final approval. We could not be any happier with how the project turned out. I would give Primiano Architecture 4 out 4 stars and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for an architect.”

“We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend Timothy (Tim) Strosser of Studio 810 Design as a designer and general contractor for home improvement. In 2012, we met Tim at the Philadelphia Home Show, and were impressed by Tim’s portfolio of previous designs and building projects. On his first visit to our home in the Philadelphia suburbs Tim impressed us again with his instant understanding of our home improvement needs. We wanted to build a new bathroom in a little-used space that was attached to our master bedroom, but Tim suggested a much better solution; building an addition to the house’s second floor, and placing the bathroom in it. This way we got a fabulously looking new master bathroom that is an envy of our friends and neighbors, and avoided a mistake of building a bathroom that would be to small and not convenient. Timothy also designed and built for us a mudroom in front of our house, completely redesigned and rebuilt our patio, and changed the siding all around the house. We are very satisfied with the quality of his design and workmanship of his crew. Tim is a very experienced project manager, and he worked hard to accommodate our specific requirements during the project and to adjust all the logistics accordingly. He was able to keep the project deadlines despite very unfavorable weather conditions, the climax of which was Hurricane Sandy. During the project we occasionally changed our mind regarding some details (e.g., selection of tiles), and Tim was always ready to either accept our new ideas or, when they were not practical, offer very good alternatives. During the project we developed a trusting, friendly relationship with Timothy and many of his crew members. We were so satisfied with our collaboration with Tim that, after the first big project was completed, we tasked him with a couple of smaller projects in our house (e.g., staircase renovation), and outside (landscaping). We are sure that, with his great artistic taste, his extensive technical experience, and his understanding of individual clients’ characters and preferences, Timothy can exceed expectations of the most demanding clients. We already recommended the services of Studio 810 to our neighbors, and we recommend them to you.”

“Scott did a very thorough job for us and went above and beyond in our expectations. We would recommend using Spring Studio Architecture”

“My husband and I hired Re: Vision Architecture to design a green home for us. We are in our 60's and wanted to create a space that both reflected our our current desires and potential needs in the future. Our architect, Mike Cronomiz, designed a home that truly speaks to our hearts. It has both beauty and grace. We give Re: Vision our highest praise for their service, creativity and understanding.”

“Contacted Joshua about a home project and while architecture work was not necessary, instead of telling me he just couldn't help me, he spent a good amount of time over the phone providing recommendations for the type of companies that may be able to assist. As a result, when the need arises for work that Joshua may be able to assist with, I will certainly be contacting him in the future.”

“Thom was hired to aid in bringing our vision of our dream home to a reality. He worked efficiently, expediently and within our budget thru the design and construction phase. He was always available to answer any questions during each phase of the process. I would highly recommend Thom to design your home.”

“We have worked with Andrew for many years as an industry partner. Over the years, these projects included many kitchen and bathroom renovations to complete home renovations. Additionally projects included new construction in both the residential and commercial spaces. Once you meet Andrew, you will instantly see his passion and get a feel for his unique vision. He has the ability to create unique and stylish designs while embracing any challenge.”

“We contracted with a designer for an addition, approx. 460 SF. The process was smooth with helpful tips and hints, and the designer incorporated our feedback.The specs were reasonable and not excessively expensive, and met our needs. To this day it is the most used room in the house.”

“We are currently in the middle of a project with BluPath. We were drawn to their commitment to healthy and sustainable building and design compared to other groups we interviewed. So far the team has been working fast and keeping us up to date on our project under difficult circumstances. We are very happy with our decision to work with BluPath!”
