Christine Kelly / Crafted Architecture

Christine has worked with us on a remodel of our entire first floor, including the kitchen and a screened-in porch. We are delighted with her work and highly recommend her. She patiently listened to us as we described what we needed and then drafted a design that encompassed all of our needs and wants. She's a real visionary. We were particularly impressed with her attention to the needs for a house with children and her thoughtfulness in designing the flow, making sure we had enough storage, and finding room for a "command center." She really cares about her clients and patiently works with them to get it right.

Christine worked with us on our Kitchen renovation. She was wonderful to work with and really helped us through the planning process. We would for sure work with her again.

I was very pleased with Christine's work and I have already recommended her to numerous people! Christine's design for our home took into account everything we wanted to achieve and also had a very WOW effect. Christine helped us maximize storage and energy efficiency. I can't count how many people have paid us compliments on the curb appeal of our project. Renovations and big projects like this have many ups and downs - Christine's zen personality was helpful when the unknowns happened. Her calm demeanor - and willingness to come over on short notice - make her a true professional.

Christine was a joy to work with on our first house flip. She designed a beautiful and functional house and helped us put out a high-quality and attractive product without completely sacrificing our profit margin. She has fantastic ideas and came up with some creative solutions to some difficult to work with spaces. She is also very patient, accessible, flexible, works very quickly and is open to suggestions, which isn't always the case with architects of her caliber. We've already hired Christine for our next project and look forward to working with her again! I can't recommend her enough to both home owners and business owners alike.

Chris was amazing to work with! We are building a house long distance, and the builder did not capture exactly what we wanted. We gave Chris the plans and she was able to make all of our wants and needs a reality. She is professional, easy to work with and very patient!

Christine has a great vision for the job to be built. We are very happy with the outcome. We give her our highest recommendation.

We had a great experience working with Christine on our remodel. Our kitchen had an awkward layout which included the laundry and a small pantry. Her ideas for reconfiguring the space gave us an open kitchen, a walk-in pantry, an office area and a dedicated laundry room. She also enlarged both of our bathrooms by removing two small walls and giving us an updated layout. Christine was always professional, easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions, concerns or changes. She helped us through the contractor selection. Even though our renovations were extensive, they were completed in 9 weeks. We would not hesitate to recommend Christine or to use her for any projects in the future.

I cannot say enough about Christine and her firm. We came to her with a mid-century home that should have been a tear down. It was covered in mold, trees were growing out of the fireplace and duct work, and the roof was caving in. When a house is in that bad of shape, it becomes a challenge to even envision what can be done. Christine had wonderful ideas that modernized the house, while still protecting the Mid-Century feel and what Goodman brought to the original architecture. Christine went above and beyond guiding us through the neighborhood Design Review Committee and helped us immeasurably with the County on permitting. I cannot recommend her enough.

I am a builder of custom homes and large scale renovations. I have done numerous jobs with Christine over the years. As a builder, one of the most critical parts of the construction process is that the plans are technically correct and clear for all of the required contractors and suppliers that perform work on the project. Christine does a great job in this respect, this helps both budget and timeline stay on track. We have worked on projects ranging from a historically correct Craftsman total renovation (circa 1920 original house) to a Contemporary waterfront home. These projects were complicated structures that also demanded architectural integrity to the original design. Both of these projects turned out beautiful and with more than happy owners. I have done other projects with Christine of varying difficulty and she has always delivered a great product to build from. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an architect that is skillful and enjoyable to work with.

Christine designed a kitchen/dining remodel for us. She had an amazing ability to grasp what I wanted/needed and had many creative ideas that helped me achieve my dream kitchen. She was patient with us and a huge help throughout the process, including working closely with our contractor as we went along. She has great contacts in the area and I can't imagine going through something like this without her expert guidance. Great to work with, and I would use her again in a heartbeat!

I hired Christine based on the recommendation of a coworker. The task I had for her was the redesign of a very small kitchen space. The goal was to open up the space in an efficient and contemporary design. I thought it would be especially challenging for Christine to come up with something really impactful (visually) in such a small space. Well, I can say that I am 100% satisfied with the design that she came up with and the final outcome. My new kitchen was completed over a year ago, and I am incredibly happy with how it turned out. Working with Christine was a pleasure. I like that fact that she really took time to listen and understand what I was looking for. She didn't "hit me over the head" with what she thought my kitchen should look like. She responded to all of my questions and concerns, and made adjustments as necessary. One of the things that surprised me about Christine was how logical and unemotional she was about approaching the design. I had never worked with an architect before, and I always imagined someone who would be very loud and vocal about their work. Christine is quite the opposite. I don't think that's good or bad - it was just a little surprising. I would recommend Christine Kelly 100% without reservation. And I have recommended her --- to my boss who is using her now.

Christine designed plans for us, for a family room addition. She is attentive and listened carefully to our family needs and how we wanted the room to function. Her patience and ideas for the design were limitless. I have already referred her to friends and clients.
