“Catarina is a tremendous architect and is a real pleasure to work with. I really felt like we worked as a team, instead of her just shoving a design at me. The whole process was very synergistic, and I am tremendously happy with the final product.”

“I have used Design Depictions for multiple projects. They have always been very professional and responsive. Their ideas and engineering practices have been very helpful. I look forward to my next project.”

“Thorough and professional architectural design firm. Their team was able to take our broad list of needs and cost effectively prepare several options from which to choose so our customer could get exactly what they wanted.”

“This is a review of the house design that Bill Chesshire did for me in Severna Park, Maryland. His design is unique in that it it a one story with high ceilings so the feel is great spaciousness. The master bedroom is huge with a walk-in closet that has plenty of hanging space for clothes. My main bathroom is completely functional with a walk-in shower with no step down. The floor just flows into the shower area. When guests step in the front door, they get the whole view at once, looking straight back to the huge, high kitchen windows, which also gives a person, a quick glimpse of the beautiful setup of the kitchen even before they get back to that area. I am so enjoying living here.”

“Jeff is a gifted architect. His sense of proportion, light and color is outstanding. I love the unique details that have given our home distinctive character and charm. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the local architectural vernacular styles of our area and that informs his work in a soulful way. Jeff was also great with developing a narrative that guided us in our vision and reigned us in when we faced too many choices. Jeff designed our original shingle style home in 1993 which I am happy to say seems timeless in it's clean, open design. He then did the design of our significant remodel of kitchen, family room in 2015.”

“j.neal architecture designs are creative, innovative, and fun. If you are looking for another boring architect, do not call them for you next project.”

“We hired Christine to work with us on the Architecture drawings for a big remodel. What we received was a lot more than that. She worked with Jen and I on multiple versions of what our remodel would look like. My wife and I deliberated for a long time. Throughout Christine was patient, calm and offered different perspectives. She helped Jen and I come to agreement. She also recommended a contractor who may fit with our style and after getting three bids we went with him. Christine helped with some permit issues and continues to stop by. Our home is beautiful as a result of her vision for what it could be. Thank you Christine. Brian Costanzo”

“Seth is an amazing architect. We have worked with him on 3 major projects and this last one was a complete gut down and addition. My wife and I highly recommend Seth and his team. He is creative and listens to his customers. He is always pushing to do more with his designs.”

“I have been working with Bennett Frank McCarthy Architects since April of this year on my home renovation in Mahwah NJ and I can say first hand that I couldnt be happier with what Shawn and the team there have brought to the table. I initially found BFM Architects on Houzz from their Modernized Split Foyer project. I had spoken to several architects both locally here in NY & NJ as well as some west coast firms and none of them gave me the level of comfort and different approach to a renovation that Shawn Buehler and BFM gave me. From minute one my project was never about how to get me to spend more money upping my budget in order to increase fees rather it was finding out ecactly what i needed from my house and figuring out ways in which we could make minimal changes and get maximum impact from them. The design process was smooth and the constant communication Shawn provided was key throughout the process.From design to construction documents and throughout the permit processing and construction observation they have been top notch making my life much easier. Currently the demo on my house is finished and we are in the framing process but once its srtats to come back together i will post pictures and more feedback... but if you are loooking for an architect to help you with a new home or a renovation i wouldnt hesitate to call Shawn and BFM.”

“Marta was a fantastic architect, we absolutely love the house she designed for us. We had asked for a cottage style house and despite the fact that it is four stories and has 7 bedrooms and baths, it does in fact resemble a cottage from the outside. Marta's attention to design detail is terrific, we love all the moldings and wainscoating. She is very accessible and responsive to her clients, an important trait our previous architects had not exhibited. She was also very patient with the many delays involved with this project, another trait that we greatly appreciated. We wouldn't think of using another architect in the future.”
