XYZ PLANS

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

March 22, 2014

“I hired XYZ Plans to help me deal with my brownstone renovation in Park Slope. The scope of work included: installation of AC system, terrace door replacement, stoop metal railing repair and new stucco finish, garden pavilion upgrade with new roof waterproofing, new heating system, and new concrete floor. Since it was not a big project we minimized the drawings to minimum details and prepared an elaborate written description instead. I had a fixed budget that would not be able to include some of work. However, Michal Grabowski, the head of XYZ Plans, was able to find a local builder who did it all for the price. I really appreciated the way the construction process was handled, with customized contract, weekly meeting and meeting minutes, work quality verification and progress checking. It was always great to know that I can call anytime and have a reasonable person arbitrating between me and the contractor. Renovation is not a nice process when you cannot vacant the house but without XYZ Plans professional help it would have been much, much worse. I sure know whom to call when I will be renovating again. Marion”

Lichten Architects

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

September 13, 2014

“In November 2013 we bought a 2 bed, 2 1/2 bath pied a terre on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Although in a modern glass tower, the apartment was done up with fusty wallpaper, heavy draperies and antiques. Lichten Craig's remit was to create a sleek, clean and modern look for the whole apartment. They stripped the wallpaper and painted, and put up gorgeous bronze wallpaper in the powder room. Joan Craig suggested white leather and lacquer furniture, modern floor lamps, and shades provided by a Chicago vendor whom she flew in to NY. This saved us a good deal of money by not using a NYC shop. Ditto for the 4 Saarinen dining chairs they had another Chicago vendor knock off to go with our Knoll table. Huzzah Huzzah. I love the substantial two tier glass and chrome coffee table, and the piece de resistance of the apartment: a large living room rug that is precisely what I wanted: a striated rug of teals and turquoises that looks like a David Hockney pool. It was custom and came in on time and on budget, as did everything else. Also, I wanted bookshelves and could not find a bookcase I liked. Joan Craig recommended building them, something I was reluctant to do but, as this is the second apartment LC has done for us, I have a high confidence level in them and agreed. They are perfect for the space and we are thrilled. The staff at LC is tops: professional, friendly, and very responsive to calls and emails. Annelise Juettner in the Chicago office has dealt calmly and efficiently with a dragon lady at my building's management company re furniture deliveries. I would have given dragon lady Polonium 210. Because LC has offices in NY and Chicago, their resources are vast and they can source the best vendors for a project at the best price. LC is flexible and can work with many different budgets, adept at integrating inexpensive items and costly ones. And as budgets can sometimes change midstream, I appreciated LC's ability to adapt when our own budget for this pied a terre shrank. Joan Craig's expertise in architecture as well as design is an added plus. We belatedly wish we had used them as the architects of our pre war Chicago Lake Shore Drive coop. I heartily recommend this team.”

The Fox Group

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

January 7, 2014

“I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with The Fox Group and give The Fox Group my highest recommendation to anyone considering using them as a builder. I first used The Fox Group for a remodel and enjoyed working with Tom so much we hired him again a couple of years later when we built our next house. One of the best things about working with Tom is he has such great taste and an amazing eye for design and style. He had many, many great ideas for our house, from big things such as the look of the exterior and laying out our floor plan to details such as the wainscoting and door handles, along with everything in between. His attention to detail is second to none and his ability to work within a budget was very comforting to us. We know we received more bang for our buck (by a long ways) than we could have with any other builder. Tom really understands how to maximize a budget and produce a beautiful home for a reasonable price. Thanks to Tom, we had a significant amount of equity in our home the day we moved in! He was also very professional throughout the building process and extremely responsive whenever we tried to reach him. Tom truly values his name and brand so you know with Tom he won't cut corners at any point during the process. Tom always made us feel like our satisfaction with our home was his number one priority and he wouldn't rest until we were happy with the finished product. Another aspect of working with Tom that I really appreciated was how hard he pushed to finish our home on time. We had a hard deadline with our construction loan and despite some weather delays and other issues during the process, he pushed his subs and was able to complete our home on time. Lastly, we really enjoyed the subcontractors Tom uses. All of them were extremely professional and genuinely good people. They were great to work with and we enjoyed getting to know each of them during the building process. Again, The Fox Group is a first rate, top notch homebuilder and I give Tom my strongest and most sincere endorsement as both a builder and person.”

Tonos Design Studio

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

November 28, 2016

“Sam provided top-notch service from start to finish of my apartment remodeling job - mostly a gut reno of the kitchen, but work that in the end affected each room of the apartment. From big-picture conception to small details, Sam offered the perfect balance of providing insight and ideas, and realism as to what was workable, versus listening to my own vision and helping make it a reality. You'll love his work, and enjoy working with him!”

FZAD ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

July 22, 2015

“on behalf of my wife and myself this is to recommend to you Frederic Zonsius as an Architect and Designer. Initially we had hired a local architect to "draft plans" of our new 2000 sq ft addition. However, we just could not decide whether we like it or not or why we were ambivalent about going forward with the design. However upon one meeting with Fred where he developed sketches in front of us, we knew where the shortcomings of the design were and what the resolution should be; suddenly the process was enjoyable again! Fred works within concept which once adopted all decisions down to the colors on the wall become easy to make. We would be happy to recommend him. Despite the distance from Ohio to New York we never felt it to be a problem. His resources from the New York community were extremely beneficial and it was nice to get a fresh outlook that was not local. He design not only the architectural shell but went beyond to design all built ins, moldings and finishes!”

“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!!”

Wadia Associates

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

September 13, 2016

“Wadia Associated exceeded our expectations on all fronts. We designed, built, decorated our home and landscape design with Wadia associates. We appreciated them listening to all our thoughts and taking the time to understand what we value, what is most important to us and how our family functions to design and build the perfect home for us. The personal attention was something that we did not imagine or expect- they were there every step of the journey, The insights they gave us based on their wealth of experience proved to be a hugely beneficial from a cost perceptive as well making our home to be of exceptional value. Great service at a great cost is something that every client seeks and we are so pleased to have received that with them. We were able to design and build the house while having three children under 5 years old because we did not have to be concerned with the process. Wadia associates managed the project so well and seamlessly while staying within our budget and timeline. They were exactly on time, even with two terrible winters. We are beyond happy in our home and hope others can experience the joy of building with them.”

Elizabeth Steimberg Architects

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

April 17, 2018

“Elizabeth is an outstanding architect and designer. She has very refined taste and her projects are elegant. She pays a lot of attention to detail. She listens to the client and tries to interpret their ideas and dreams for them. She works well with contractors and doesn't get rattled under pressure. I highly recommend her.”

AMMOR Architecture LLP

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

September 18, 2012

“Have you done a gut renovation of an apartment from 2500 miles away? We did. The single decision that made the project a success and got us our dream home was working with TUG studios.From concept drawings to choice of contractors to final completion, they were available and responsive. Tom and Goil heard everything we said we wanted for our 2200 sq ft. triplex apartment. They even figured out a lot that we did not say and translated all that into a coherent whole that met with all our many requirements, from fabulous kitchen to LOTS of counter space to flattering lighting plans and color schemes. Most importantly, while not compromising on quality, they paid attention to our budget. The challenge was to make a dark and chopped up apartment with small rooms into a modern airy space. TUG's designs made really radical changes in the floor plan, moving the living room and kitchen from the parlor floor to the second floor and putting two bedrooms and baths where the living room and kitchen had been. If we had to do any kind of design or remodel in future, I would not do it without TUG.”

Diversified Design Associates Architects, P.C.

New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

January 29, 2014

“I consider Diversified a design team, as well as a top sub-contractor, who not only identify the right construction solutions but understand a project from an architectural, engineering, and interior design perspective. I have employed Diversified to provide me with all three services, architectural plans, engineering work (including obtaining obtaining permits) and subcontracting work. Diversified does a good job in holding the subcontractors accountable that work is done well and on time. They ensure subs work in concert with one another so there are relatively few lapses in work as compared to other firms. I have not been stuck with a punch list that takes months to address. They address issues and problems right away. My level of satisfaction is so high, I have hired Diversified to work on two different houses. The first time I have ever hired a contractor more than once. The work on my first home was so well done and had such a positive impact on our curb appeal, the house was sold in 3 days! I employed them the second time when I needed a firm who could move quickly in making my fixer upper move in ready (they even helped me out in the aftermath or Super storm Sandy). While the work may be a tad more expensive, it was worth the extra investment to make sure the end product was well done. I absolutely recommend Diversified.”

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?
