Caren was an outstanding partner on our project, designing from the ground up a large garage with living space and storage over it. In fact, out builder said she was the best architect he ever worked with because "she actually understanding practical building right down to the tools I use". I'll use only her on any future projects.

Caren was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She assisted us with a second floor addition and front porch. She has a great vision for what can be done and listened carefully to what we wanted. She was easy to communicate with and was always available when we needed. She does an excellent job and charges are very fair price. Would definitely recommend and use again in the future.

This project was a complete gut renovation of a 1950 lake front house on Candlewood Lake in CT. When purchased in a short sale the house was uninhabitable - no kitchen, bathrooms, power or water. The location was the attraction but it was a challenge. Caren's professionalism, creativity, reliability and encouragement were critical in the successful completion of the project.

Caren has been a fantastic partner on my lake house remodel. She is very talented, has amazing ideas, is a great collaborator, budget conscious and turns around plans and changes very quickly. Truly a pleasure to work with!

Caren Carpenter was our architect for a two floor addition to our home on Candlewood Lake. She was extremely reliable, conscientious, competent, talented and a pleasure to work with. Ms. Carpenter was available during the entire project and made sure we were satisfied with the results. She always met deadlines, and in addition to her reasonable costs, she always kept within budget. Ms. Carpenter has also been very helpful with assisting us with interior and exterior design as well as landscape design. We continue to call on her for guidance and ideas. She was highly recommended to us by neighbors and we highly recommend her to prospective clients. We have always been very happy with her work and she is a pleasure to do business with.

Caren is professional, thoughtful and hard-working. We were so fortunate to work with her when remodeling our new home. She did a great job understanding our needs and making them reality.

Caren did a great job and came up with creative solutions that we would never have though of. We had many changes due to previously unknown issues with the original structure and Caren was able to quickly redesign the plans.
