We hired CWB to help us renovate our Park Slope townhouse. CWB understood completely how brownstones work and how people live in them. The team listened carefully to what we wanted and did a fantastic job delivering us our beautiful home. It was fun to work with them -- we recommend CWB in the highest terms!

We’ve been working with CWB Architects since 2005 on a variety of projects in Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Hamptons and upstate. We have maintained a successful professional relationship with them over the years. We appreciate CWB’s ability to stay on budget and on schedule, effectively keeping the channels of communication open from each project’s beginning to its close-out. CWB always puts the client’s interests first and comes up with innovative design solutions that turn problematic spaces into functional design. We value the imagination and quality behind CWB’s work and their level of dedication to each project, no matter the size. We highly recommend CWB as expert residential architects for row house and apartment renovations, and new constructions.

We have worked with CWB over a span of 20 years--2 projects in Brooklyn and one in upstate New York. Not only are they amazing at what they do, but they make the process fun and collaborative. They really care to make your living space beautiful and functional for your lifestyle. Very much appreciate that they have expanded the range of services over the years. It's very helpful to be able to consult interior designers as you work through the architectural process.
