Alan Christ Architects LLC

We had a great experience working with Alan as he helped us turn a filthy, decaying, unfinished basement into warm, welcoming, brightly lit space that has become one of our favorite rooms. He listened carefully to our goals. He patiently gave us all sorts of options and did several iterations of the plans. In the end he designed a space that exceeded our expectations while creatively working around some fairly serious challenges. He designed a beautiful space with materials and finishes we would not have found on our own. His attention to detail is fantastic. The built-in bookcases and cabinets he designed are a real treat. He worked very well with our contractor. I’d happily work with Alan again.

We live in an old brookline condo and decided to do hire Alan for a comprehensive renovation of the whole apartment, with the major work concentrated in the kitchen. Alan is a very detailed professional, that was essential for our renovation to be successful. He gave excellent ideas for the kitchen renovation, also communicated with the contractors in a regular basis to ensure that the job was done at highest standards. I highly recommend Alan!

I had a wonderful experience working with Alan Christ on my kitchen, which turned in to a much needed renovation of the first floor of my small three story house. I am someone with strong tastes but I am not necessarily able to articulate them. Alan was somehow able to figure out what I wanted and create a kitchen space that I love. He was always available and flexible, yet clear about his own opinions. He is meticulous about design and details, and he caught several mistakes made by the contractors. I hope to work with him again on another project.

We retained Alan Christ Architects to help us redesign a 112 years old house. This included but not limited to renovating 2 kitchens, 3.5 bathrooms, laundry room as well as removing a chimney in the middle of the house and adding all new services (plumbing, HVAC, and electrical). Alan did such an amazing job with the utmost attention to detail designing new room layouts that would modernize our living space while retaining the charm of an old period house and ensuring structural soundness. Every room was designed logically and methodically with specific measurements and schedules such as electrical outlet placement, materials to be used, light fixtures/switch placement, and so forth. The plan details that Alan put together with schedules helped the trades to efficiently carry out their jobs to complete an entire home renovation in less than 6 months. Alan is creative, passionate, detail oriented, and resourceful (he's like a google for sourcing things and coming up with solutions). He's also great at communicating and sharing his thoughts directly, while also being opened to my ideas and needs even when I disagreed. We highly recommend Alan for any architectural jobs big or small. We will be using Alan again for any future projects.

highly recommend Alan. We had a great experience working with him on our home renovation. Alan did some reconfiguration work on our first floor, renovated 3 bathrooms and reworked our master bedroom closets. He was thoughtful in his design plan and worked hard to get us everything we needed within our budget. Alan is meticulous and precise in his design details. He also did a great job managing our expectations in terms of what could or could not be accomplished with our small bathrooms. We loved the outcome of the renovation and his work added considerable value to our home. We have since moved from our first home and used Alan again to help us with the design plan for the kitchen in our new home.

Alan did a great job rennovating an over 30 years' apartment for me. He is a very detailed professional and pays careful attention to design as well as the construction quality. As I reside in Asia while the project was on going, it was rather difficult to communicate at beginning. However, it got better and better as discussion pattern via FaceTime of iPhone settled later. The only thing which was not well managed as I budged was the design fees. I guess it was more because of the problem for overtime discussion and some miss communication between us in two different countries. I am very grateful to have him as my designer and would recommend him for projects.

Alan designed a beautiful addition for me. Alan was amazing from beginning to end. Alan is very knowledgable about his field and carefully explained the parameters of what could and could not be done with my project. He listened patiently and was willing to do several re-dos of the design providing me with different and creative options. Alan went over and above of what is expected making several visits to the planning and building department to ensure we complied with the town and building regulations. He also made numerous site visits. He is utterly reliable, prompt and willing to be creative to stay within your budget. Alan isn't happy unless you are happy and works tirelessly until that is achieved. I would highly recommend him.
