Lilian H. Weinreich, Architects

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

November 6, 2013

“We (Mid-Century Modern Finds) have been working with Lilian Weinreich's office for the past three years finding artwork and furniture for her and for her clients. The collaborative process has been very rewarding, and the end result is a great product. Lilian has a great eye - attention to detail, quality finishes, and an artistic touch. She is courteous, professional, and always a pleasure to work with.”

Lichten Architects

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

September 13, 2014

“In November 2013 we bought a 2 bed, 2 1/2 bath pied a terre on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Although in a modern glass tower, the apartment was done up with fusty wallpaper, heavy draperies and antiques. Lichten Craig's remit was to create a sleek, clean and modern look for the whole apartment. They stripped the wallpaper and painted, and put up gorgeous bronze wallpaper in the powder room. Joan Craig suggested white leather and lacquer furniture, modern floor lamps, and shades provided by a Chicago vendor whom she flew in to NY. This saved us a good deal of money by not using a NYC shop. Ditto for the 4 Saarinen dining chairs they had another Chicago vendor knock off to go with our Knoll table. Huzzah Huzzah. I love the substantial two tier glass and chrome coffee table, and the piece de resistance of the apartment: a large living room rug that is precisely what I wanted: a striated rug of teals and turquoises that looks like a David Hockney pool. It was custom and came in on time and on budget, as did everything else. Also, I wanted bookshelves and could not find a bookcase I liked. Joan Craig recommended building them, something I was reluctant to do but, as this is the second apartment LC has done for us, I have a high confidence level in them and agreed. They are perfect for the space and we are thrilled. The staff at LC is tops: professional, friendly, and very responsive to calls and emails. Annelise Juettner in the Chicago office has dealt calmly and efficiently with a dragon lady at my building's management company re furniture deliveries. I would have given dragon lady Polonium 210. Because LC has offices in NY and Chicago, their resources are vast and they can source the best vendors for a project at the best price. LC is flexible and can work with many different budgets, adept at integrating inexpensive items and costly ones. And as budgets can sometimes change midstream, I appreciated LC's ability to adapt when our own budget for this pied a terre shrank. Joan Craig's expertise in architecture as well as design is an added plus. We belatedly wish we had used them as the architects of our pre war Chicago Lake Shore Drive coop. I heartily recommend this team.”

“As a builder in Naples, Florida, we recommend Carlo and his team at Urban Office Architecture to anyone in the New York Metro Area, as well as anyone who owns in Naples, Bonita Beach, or Marco Island, who wants to either design and build a custom home, or wants to remodel a luxury home or condo. Carlo understands that you want your own special place, that reflects your style and taste. It is imperative that you trust the team you have chosen to design your dream. Urban Office Architecture is a team you can trust and we highly recommend them.”

Elizabeth Steimberg Architects

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

April 17, 2018

“Elizabeth is an outstanding architect and designer. She has very refined taste and her projects are elegant. She pays a lot of attention to detail. She listens to the client and tries to interpret their ideas and dreams for them. She works well with contractors and doesn't get rattled under pressure. I highly recommend her.”

The Fox Group

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

January 7, 2014

“I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with The Fox Group and give The Fox Group my highest recommendation to anyone considering using them as a builder. I first used The Fox Group for a remodel and enjoyed working with Tom so much we hired him again a couple of years later when we built our next house. One of the best things about working with Tom is he has such great taste and an amazing eye for design and style. He had many, many great ideas for our house, from big things such as the look of the exterior and laying out our floor plan to details such as the wainscoting and door handles, along with everything in between. His attention to detail is second to none and his ability to work within a budget was very comforting to us. We know we received more bang for our buck (by a long ways) than we could have with any other builder. Tom really understands how to maximize a budget and produce a beautiful home for a reasonable price. Thanks to Tom, we had a significant amount of equity in our home the day we moved in! He was also very professional throughout the building process and extremely responsive whenever we tried to reach him. Tom truly values his name and brand so you know with Tom he won't cut corners at any point during the process. Tom always made us feel like our satisfaction with our home was his number one priority and he wouldn't rest until we were happy with the finished product. Another aspect of working with Tom that I really appreciated was how hard he pushed to finish our home on time. We had a hard deadline with our construction loan and despite some weather delays and other issues during the process, he pushed his subs and was able to complete our home on time. Lastly, we really enjoyed the subcontractors Tom uses. All of them were extremely professional and genuinely good people. They were great to work with and we enjoyed getting to know each of them during the building process. Again, The Fox Group is a first rate, top notch homebuilder and I give Tom my strongest and most sincere endorsement as both a builder and person.”

nC2 architecture llc

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

December 2, 2012

“Richard and Michael are fantastic to work with. They are very creative and highly professional. Our project is a complete gut job renovation of a 140 year old row house in Brooklyn. NC2 has come at it with complete enthusiasm from day one, and have stayed positive and focused even when we have hit rough patches. Our favorite part about working with them is their collaboration style. They do a good job of doing all the "hard work" behind the scenes, but they truly make us feel that we are part of the team. They take our feedback wholeheartedly, they are always ready to walk away from an idea they may really like if it doesn't resonate with us, and they are totally open and respectful to ideas we bring to the table. It helps that we have similar taste and style, but in general, they just have a great collaborative and respectful approach. They also have been very good to work with on budget management. We would recommend them for any jobs, large or small.”

LEAP Architecture

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

July 28, 2015

“LEAP designed our modern and green home addition. They handled much of the creative work on the project, as well as detailed renderings, bid consultations, and construction supervision. LEAP's work was very creative and responded directly to our needs. They found ways to get energy efficiency and modern design details into a "buildable" and cost-conscious project. They are humble, hardworking, and consistent. I would choose to work with LEAP Architecture again without hesitation.”

FZAD ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

July 22, 2015

“on behalf of my wife and myself this is to recommend to you Frederic Zonsius as an Architect and Designer. Initially we had hired a local architect to "draft plans" of our new 2000 sq ft addition. However, we just could not decide whether we like it or not or why we were ambivalent about going forward with the design. However upon one meeting with Fred where he developed sketches in front of us, we knew where the shortcomings of the design were and what the resolution should be; suddenly the process was enjoyable again! Fred works within concept which once adopted all decisions down to the colors on the wall become easy to make. We would be happy to recommend him. Despite the distance from Ohio to New York we never felt it to be a problem. His resources from the New York community were extremely beneficial and it was nice to get a fresh outlook that was not local. He design not only the architectural shell but went beyond to design all built ins, moldings and finishes!”

1625 DB

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

September 17, 2017

“My husband Andy and I had been looking at remodeling our kitchen for some time now. We had met with several Design Build Firms and just weren’t quite sold on any of them until we met the team at 1625 D/B. The project was quite involved and included new cabinets, new floors, moving our stove and sink, as well as removal of a load bearing wall. They were with us every step of the way. Any questions we had they had a correct answer for us. I would highly recommend 1625 D/B and will 100% use them for any future renovating we do.”

Chelsea Atelier Architect, PC

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

July 6, 2015

“We hired Chelsea Atelier Architect as the architect and project manager for my townhouse renovation. The final product created was spectacular and I am very pleased with the level of detail. They are a pleasure to work with, managed the contractor exceedingly well and really understood the project's needs. Highly recommended.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a New York home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through New York, NY interior architects and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best New York architect for my home design project?

It is best to hire a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire New York subcontractors, which can include the builders, engineers and landscaper. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the New York residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different architecture firms in New York, NY provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

What sort of process can I expect from a residential architect?

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm or individual that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. There should be plenty of meetings between you and your building designer until you have agreed upon a design that you are completely happy with. Always keep in mind that the designer will have building codes to follow, and likely pre-existing design limitations when dealing with a remodel, so while they might not be able to execute your exact ideas they always have your safety and aesthetics in mind. One of the most important duties of a residential architect is to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors, so you can expect them to be present throughout the entire building process to ensure everything is executed as planned.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have somewhat of an idea of the style of house architecture that you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Residential architects in New York, NY are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective New York interior architects:

What is your fee structure?
What does the cost include?
Do you have professional liability insurance?
Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
What is your experience with similar projects?
When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
Can you provide me with references?
Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
What do you estimate the cost will be?
What will I need to provide?
Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
