As first time homebuyers, my husband and I didn't know what to expect with the purchase of our 1915 English Tudor. We had always lived in modern condos and really didn't know where or how to get started.
After our first meeting, we knew Diana and Alex were the perfect fit. Their expertise in classic architecture proved to be invaluable to us throughout the process with this unique property.
Even prior to the closing on our house, Diana came out to meet us and offer suggestions. She also helped with the contractor bidding process which has helped us to stay on budget and match us up to the perfect contractor.
Overall, Diana and Alex are wonderful to work with! We highly recommend Hoffman Architects!

Hoffman Architects and I have worked on multiple projects over the years. The most recent was a 2nd Floor addition to my home. This expanded 3 Bedrooms, the Master Bath, and created a spacious stair landing. I have been getting many compliments on my attractive home from neighbors and passerby. Hoffman Architects always delivers exceptional high-quality work. They are professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and insightful. I highly recommend Hoffman Architects. You will not be disappointed!

Diana Hoffman and her staff have given us superior and professional service throughout our entire garage/backyard renovation project. Not only was the design architecturally beautiful, it is historically and aesthetically in keeping with our 110 year old house. Diana and Alex went above and beyond in client service and were always quick to respond when their expertise was sought. We highly recommend Hoffman Architects.

We are very happy that we chose Hoffman Architects for our home renovation. From the beginning Diana showed a genuine interest in our job. She is very detail oriented and spent a lot of time with us in helping design our dream home. She is persistent yet patient. A home renovation is exciting but can also be a stressful process. Diana is knowledgeable and experienced and a stickler for detail. She works with your budget and prepares you for the complete process. There were so many things we wouldn't have considered without her guidance. She also was involved with the bidding and vetting of our builder options. She stays involved from start to finish and helps to create a team approach. Both she and her colleague Alex are very responsive. You don't have to wait on them. Their finished products speak for themselves. They have a tremendous amount of pride in their work. If you are serious about a renovation or designing a home we highly recommend Hoffman Architects.

Hoffman Architects tackled a challenging project for us and the results were beyond our wildest dreams. We had one constraint after another as we began to focus on remodelling our Master Suite. Our goal, to create two walk-in closets and update a bathroom to include a stand alone bathtub. All this within the confines of some fairly rigid wall restrictions, not the least of which was doing all this within a specific budget. Hoffman Architects listened and went to work coming up with an imaginative solution to capture space from adjacent rooms to expand the Master Suite and accommodate each and every one of our requests, all with the least amount of disruption. We couldn't be more delighted with the results.

Hoffman Architects Inc. delivers distinctive design consistently, and has done so for over 30 years! Whether the home is new construction or a re-hab or whether the design is a small project for some element inside or outside of the house, the architecture and the function of the space connote grace, distinction and character. With Hoffman Architects we re-hab'd our home 20 years ago and we re-hab'd a commercial building 6 years ago. Both properties stand out for character and function. Diana and her team deliver the right design for the client's needs that can be enjoyed by all. Special features include windows, trim, facades, flow and thinking creatively about existing footprint to maximize usage. It doesn't always have to be a big addition with a variance to enjoy space. Diana and her team are very professional, knowledgeable and creative with combining elements of style and budget for a person's dream home.

I am a remodeling contractor who has had the pleasure of constructing several projects for clients that had hired Hoffman Architects Inc. to complete the design work for their additions. Diana and her staff are seasoned professionals who truly understand the importance of a well thought out floor plan and how to add to an existing structure harmoniously. They go the extra mile by incorporating interior design elements that add to the overall warmth of the design.
I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Hoffman Architects has been our architect from the very start of the project, when it was just a kernel of an idea. They have worked with us through the early planning stages, got us through two variances, helped us choose a contractor, and we're sure will celebrate with us when the project is completed. We are sure that no other architectural firm comes close to the kind of expeditious service, attention to detail, patience, compassion and caring for their clients that Hoffman Architects provides. They deserve the highest praise.

Diana did the architecture work for our entire home renovation and additions. She was patient, responsive, engaged and flexible throughout the entire process. She also helped us obtain a critical variance with ease. We are very satisfied with her work and would recommend her iwthout any reservations to others.
