Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Wellesley

Michael Kim Associates
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Wellesley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 11, 2013
“Michael referred my interior design firm to his client, this homeowner, to work with his team of general contractor, architecture and interior design. The project was a major renovation and addition to a colonial home. Throughout the project Michael, his employees and team were professional, communicated, were available, followed through and had creative and boundary stretching ideas for this home. The transformation is remarkable. The client continues years later to enjoy her home. One of the memorable ideas that Michael had was the 12 foot window in the kitchen. In closing it is a pleasure to work with Michael Kim and Associates. Michael is knowledgeable, experienced, has a wonderful positive attitude, he meets deadlines and budgets and works well with the team while respecting the client.”

“Michael was so easy to work with, flexible, had great ideas, and was knowledgeable about the market place. We had a great experience with Michael, from start to finish.”
Susan Koslow Architecture, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Wellesley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 23, 2020
“Susan was a pleasure to work with. We wanted to expand our home, but stay in keeping with the original look and feel of the colonial. Susan took our ideas and put them on paper, and worked with us to get not just the big picture but also little details just right - from the width of the long hallway to the arch of the portico. Our house still gets compliments more than a year and a half later dash from strangers and steal from neighbors who simply enjoy looking at the house. We would use Susan again and recommend her in a heartbeat for anyone looking to plan a home renovation.”
I. S. Hernandez Design Services, Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Wellesley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 20, 2016
“Pros 1. Excellent client service - readily accessible. Even now - 5 years after he worked with us, we are able to ask him for input on some of his work. 2. Extremely trustworthy and reliable - this is critical for us. He's on OUR side. 3. Great ideas and high degree of flexibility. He was able to see spaces and options that we could not conceive of ourselves (and we feel we are quite design-savvy) 4. Very reasonably priced. We had approached companies and they had pricing based on the value of the potential project (and then tried to upsell designs in order to get to a desired compensation). I.S. Hernandez asked us what we wanted to do, and then designed several options - all based on time. 5. He comes with recommendations of contractors to work with. They are good, but you don't have to choose them. We chose someone different without any issues. Areas you will need to work on: There are a fantastic number of ideas and his creativity is superb. He will give the pros and cons and give a mild opinion. You will have to be decisive and go with what you like.”

“Charles is an excellent architect whose advice and expertise were invaluable. He was very thorough and attentive to details for every aspect of our project. He was very easy to work with and always made himself available to answer any and all of our questions. We would definitely highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good, quality architect with high standards and integrity.”
Foley Fiore Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Wellesley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 21, 2013
“We worked with Foley Fiore Architects on a custom home in a suburb west of Boston. As the general contractor's site supervisor I worked very closely with them and can attest that their approach is collaborative, solutions oriented and client driven. Their staff is highly professional and pays tremendous attention to detail and client service. We look forward to working with them again.”
JFF Design Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Wellesley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 26, 2013
“Joe Fournier did some great architectual design work on two large projects we did. A large remodel on one property and an almost complete rebuild on a second property. Joe acted as GC on the second job and did a wonderful job keeping things moving, helping us get good decisions made in a timely fashion and working closely with all the trades to ensure the work was coordinated and of high quality. The transformations to our properties were hugely successful and Joe was instrumental in helping us get to a place where the homes work so much better for our lifestyle. Highly recommend Joe's work (and already have several times).”
Keri Murray Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Wellesley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 16, 2017
“Great Architect! Imaginative as well as pragmatic. "We met Keri as we were planning a kitchen renovation, screened-in porch addition and front porch portico addition which would require a variance from the local zoning board. Keri came over to chat, get a sense of our space, our interior design style, and review our scope of needs versus wants (something very important). We could tell immediately that Keri was able to envision what we were looking for as the end result. Keri completely re-designed (what I thought was already a great design because I did it!) our kitchen space in a creative, timeless, far more efficient design than I could ever think of. Keri displayed her strong technical expertise and design sensitivity when drawing our three season porch and portico. Everything was brought to life in not only perfect scale but also considerate of the home's age and it's placement into the neighborhood landscape. Keri is very detail oriented but has a unique way of translating those details into a cohesive design that you can understand and relate to. Keri was always available for us. She was prompt, prepared, and eased our fears throughout the entire process. That's the kind of experience you want when going thru a design and construction project.”

It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Wellesley residential architect you hire.
