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.”

“Erin and MTD are amazing to work with! Erin has a fantastic design sense, is extremely knowledgeable, very professional, and easy to work with. From completely designing our modern home renovation, to working with the contractors, to selecting all the fixtures and furnishings in the home (to actually building some of the furniture herself!), MTD and Erin did a stellar job on our Martha's Vineyard renovation project. I would highly recommend them!!”

pulltab

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

July 29, 2016

“I cannot recommend Melissa and Jon of pulltab highly enough. They gut-renovated a loft for us, and not only are the results aesthetically beautiful, but the apartment fits us and the way we live and functions beautifully as well. Having lived here for a few years now, we can really appreciate how carefully and skillfully they analyzed our needs and met them. During the process, we received an extraordinary amount of personal attention. (They answer their own phones.) The renovation was expensive for us, but far from their biggest project, yet they always had time (and patience) for us. They really excelled at keeping our budget in mind and helping us to determine where money would best be spent. They possess that rare combination of talent and practical ability in equal measure. Additionally, they are two of the kindest, most conscientious people I have ever met in any field, and they treat everyone with respect and appreciation, which is reflected back not only on them, but on the project as a whole. They are really special, and working with them is a pleasure. We felt very lucky to have found them.”

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.”

Delson or Sherman Architects pc

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

August 24, 2012

“We hired Delson or Sherman to remodel our loft in the West Village and I strongly recommend them. I was nervous about hiring them because I didn't have a friend's recommendation. Instead I had read a New York Times story about them and studied the photos on their website. I loved their taste and, being a reporter, I really cross-questioned their references. We liked both partners, Jeff Sherman and Perla Delson, and both worked on our initial design. They came up with several layouts and the one we chose works perfectly for us. We wound up working mostly with Jeff Sherman during construction and found him to be very easy to work with as well as professional, time efficient and good at on-the-spot problem solving. He also has a good sense of humor. I'm incredibly indecisive and it worked when he gave us three choices. If I couldn't decide I let him pick and that turned out well. Our co-op board had given us a five-month deadline for noisy work and there was going to be an alarming penalty of $300 a day if we exceeded that. We finished on time and within budget (after the things I added). I trusted Jeff's recommendation for a contractor and actually hired the contractor without meeting him, a serious leap of faith that also turned out remarkably well. The Delson or Sherman office system seemed very efficient. A very endearing draftsperson, Chisato, helped to lower the cost. Everything got filed on time and within the co-op's requirements (unlike some of the other projects I have since witnessed in our building). That's it. We are extremely happy with the way it turned out. Remarkably, there's not anything we would change and I would definitely hire them again. I wish I could add more pictures!”

Jonathan Wolfe Architecture + Design

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

March 14, 2017

“This past year, I hired Jonathan Wolfe to design a partial kitchen renovation in my 1929 Westchester County, NY home. About 19 years ago, I completely gutted and renovated the kitchen using high-end custom cabinets, keeping the existing footprint. At that time, I did not have the foresight (or budget) to expand the kitchen. Almost 20 years later, with both children in college, I wanted to finally create that open feel that I had been wanting; creating a more inviting place to eat, cook and entertain. The one caveat for this project, however, was that my husband really wanted to keep the custom light maple cabinets, even though I was worried that they reflected a dated 1990’s look. What Jonathan did was he designed a way to connect the old with the new, creating a stunning new open kitchen and dining room. He designed the new archway that opened from kitchen to dining room to mirror the archways throughout the house. Then he designed a peninsula that connected the two rooms, keeping the traditional 1929 feel of the house, but making it more clean-line and open. While this was considered a “smallish” project, it was not an easy one – working on an almost 100 year home and making everything seemed as it all worked together was Jonathan’s absolute special magic. After we changed all the hardware (from brass to polished chrome), put in new lighting, added some new appliances, changed fixtures, etc, the new space and the cabinets work beautifully. We would definitely hire Jonathan Wolfe again for our next project, he is a real pro.”

KBR Design & Build

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

June 10, 2013

“I cannot recommend this great family business enough! I hired them last year for a full kitchen renovation, and they were able to complete the project with no major issues. They were extremely professional and payed attention to every little detail, giving me the kitchen I have always wanted. The team works together so well, and they were so patient with me as I was picking out the perfect materials and countertop. I highly recommend them!”

Urban Office ARCHITECTURE

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

December 22, 2015

“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.”

Weil Friedman Architects

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

November 11, 2013

“I began working with Weil Friedman Architects (specifically, Barbara Friedman) in the Fall of 2012, when I purchased a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, approximately 1750 sq. foot apartment in my current building, anticipating my July marriage and the combination of two families of kids and animals. Time had stood still in the apartment since the 1960s, so this was a total renovation. New kitchen and baths, surfaces, all lighting throughout, built-ins, reconfiguration of the space. From the design and drawing stage, through construction and punch list, Weil Friedman Architects were the consummate professionals. Detail-oriented, never dropped the ball once, always available to answer questions, worked extremely well with the contractors. They are "soup to nuts" architects, participating in everything from choosing stone, fabrics, paint, flooring, cabinetry, and just the right appliances...you get an architect, project manager, designer, decorator, and "seeker and finder of the perfect polished nickel bullet hinge" all rolled into one. They are great to work with, offering ideas while listening to yours. The project finished right on schedule, and that was in no small part due to Weil Friedman's determination and midnight and weekend oil. Not only that, but we finished on budget. Amazing. I wish I had another apartment to renovate just so I can work with them again, and I tell anyone I know who is about to undertake a project, that they should talk to them.”

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?
