“Mine was the Brooklyn Brownstone in Maria's photographs. Working with her was an extraordinary experience. She created the architectural design for our third floor kitchen and our downstairs duplex renovations, coming up with a series of design ideas that were both beautiful and within our budget. She helped select our contractor and collaborated with him during each stage of both projects. She made weekly visits to the job site, and just as importantly, the contractor would call Maria with questions as the work progressed thereby avoiding costly “do overs.” She completed both projects within our budget and even more surprisingly, on time! The results of her design work and project management are there for you to see on her design pages. I would recommend her unequivocally.”

“Helped in the development of a fitness studio in Briarcliff Manor NY. Very professional from start to finish. Also made valuable observations to enhance the project and add to the quality of the final design and construction.”

“When my husband and I took on the project of completely renovating an 1846 Greek Revival house in the back country of Greenwich, we ran into difficulties with the architect we had hired. Doug VanderHorn came to our rescue! Many architects might have been unwilling to take on a project that had already started, but Doug, to my everlasting gratitude, not only agreed to work with us, but brought fresh, new, creative and improved ideas to the table. His taste is impeccable and he ended up helping me with all kinds of related issue like bathroom tiles, special effects in moldings and fireplaces and placement of furniture in a difficult room. He is easy to work with and very realistic in his suggestions. I could not recommend him more highly! -Mrs. Russell S. Reynolds, Jr.”

“Foster Architecture does beautiful and well-conceived work. His approach to problem solving is both professional and calm. My project was a renovation of a 1970’s builder’s contemporary that was visually disorganized inside and out. Foster re-organized and balanced the spaces, completely transforming the interior and exterior with small aesthetic changes throughout, while integrating the building into the surrounding land, giving the house an up-to-date 21st Century look and quality. Foster’s knowledge of the aesthetic use of materials is comprehensive and creative. I highly recommend his work and look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“I worked at A4 Architecture for 5 years. During that time I worked closely with the firm's principal and staff. A4 Architecture always went above and beyond in their efforts to provide the possible best design while paying close attention to the client's preferences and needs.”

“As an architect, I had a delightful experience working with Vincent and Will to document existing conditions for a couple of renovation/addition projects that I'm working on at Katie Hutchison Studio. They were highly professional, attentive to detail, and thorough.”

“We found a property we loved and wanted to tear it down but realized it was salvageable and hired Michael McKinley and Associates to help create our dream home. I've been an interior designer for 38 years and have my own ideas and have worked with hundreds of architects. The firm's attention to detail made them a joy to work with and I always looked forward to the next meeting. Michael McKinley and his entire staff listened carefully to me, respected my ideas and yet they brought many of their own creative ideas to the project. In the beginning of the project we asked Michael McKinley and Associates to give us a budget estimate and we were thrilled that the renovation came in on budget and on time...a rarity in this business.”

“Michael is the best architect to integrate nature in his design. He is a very creative and professional architect. Cecilia Patricia”

“We worked with Purpose + Design to reimagine and transform our kitchen. Stephanie worked with us by developing several designs and options since we were removing a stairwell and walls to double the size of our kitchen. She came up with an amazing design and all the structural drawings our contractor needed to make the plan a reality. She worked with us throughout the process. We just celebrated the completion of the project by having dinner around our amazing new kitchen island. Stephanie is a very talented architect, a great listener and deeply committed to her clients. We are already starting to talk about our next project together - a new bathroom and laundry area. The photos below are before (green kitchen) and after (orange and blue kitchen).”

“It only took one meeting to realize that Bill’s capacity and talent far exceeded the 3 other architects I had interviewed. I have been continually impressed by his attention to detail, follow through and ability to balance client desire with an incredible design. Bill has the unusual ability to balance world class design with real-world application. Bill Sclight gets my highest recommendation.”
