KUBE architecture

Kube was very helpful in collaboration with me on a rear deck design. Their knowledge of innovative materials sets them apart in the DC market.

We have worked with KUBE Architecture on a number of projects in past 5 years and it is always a great pleasure to work with. It's not just that they have remarkable designs, but they are very knowable and professional, and they always bring a great deal of positive energy. Looking forward to the next project.

I worked with Rich from Kube for the underpinning (dig out) and complete design and build of a two bedroom/two bath in the basement of a DC townhouse. Rich provided exceptional vision and the necessary experience to turn what could have been a dreary, boring street-level apartment into an open, light-filled space that I am proud to call my home.

KUBE is a great firm, with architectural solutions that not only win awards, they are functionally efficient! I look forward to my next project with KUBE!

We hired Kube for a condo stair and landing project for 3-levelcourtyard and front entrance. The architect, Janet Bloomberg has been professional, engaged, reliable, committed and enthusiatic on a challenging project.She has been particularly patient with the engineer and has stepped in when one of our managers became unavailable. She respects , welcomes, and responds to various owners' opions, including those diferent from her own so that we, the client, will be happy with the final project. Note: While design and plan are complete, project awaits regulator approval to begin actual construction.

We have been working with Janet for 10 years and continue to rely on KUBE to bring their signature to our new renovation projects - from a raw steel-wrapped stainless steel bar to our beautiful new interlaced ipe and cement board garden wall. Janet (slightly pre-KUBE) was one of a few architects we were to interview in 2003 for a major renovation of our 1910 Wardman row house - we clicked with Janet as soon as we started discussing ideas. She made us realize that the clean, simple, modern work we admired was within our grasp (and our budget!). Honoring our restrictions to keep the house facade intact and to retain what was possible of the interior finishes, Janet designed a new (bump up) third floor master suite with walkout roof patio and a practical but sleek basement rental apartment. The new warm modern third floor was seamlessly integrated with a clean renovation of the existing two-story house - a simple, light raw steel staircase running down the core of the house and the warmly-colored common wall grounded the modern 3rd floor in the more historical part of the house. All in all, the results were much more than we had thought possible... Throughout, Janet helped us keep to our tight budget and ensured we felt included in every detail. That last bit was important to us - we very much appreciated Janet's collaborative work style. If we had an idea, she listened and usual found a way to incorporate the thought. Janet was more than just a designer, however. She was with us through the entire project, helping us with the bidding process and general contractor selection. Once construction began, she acted as both our advocate and a collaborator with our general contractor. Her guidance was indispensable. We've since become friends both with Janet and the lead Carpenter - a testament to the sense of teamwork on the job. As we've said, we've continued to work with KUBE whenever we renovate - new kitchen and backyard. Though we've primarily worked with Janet, we've benefited from Richard's wonderful vision once they teamed up to start KUBE. As a team, they function as true partners - no egos, just incorporating each other’s perspectives and ideas. We are extremely pleased we've worked with KUBE. We never would have envisioned when we started this process that we would be living in a Washingtonian Award-winning house and having an ongoing relationship with our architect. We couldn't have picked better.

Janet and her team designed our dream addition to our weekend home which is now our home home. They gave us exactly what we wanted with some innovative design ideas which have made us very happy. We wanted modern, liveable, and affordable, and they delivered! Also, they are detail-oriented, which made a huge difference in the final look and feel of our home. I highly recommend KUBE architecture for their skill, creativity, knowledge, responsiveness, caring, and professionalism. ~Linda H

Seven stars; the five I gave Kube, plus Janet and Rich, architecture stars in their own right. I had my house fully redone by Kube architecture and I could not have been happier: they understood my needs and taste, they led me - with a very light touch - through the process, they saved me by my mistakes and I am now the happy owner of the most beautiful house. If you want professional advice, high level architectural expertise and a true partner, look at Kube

We had a charming Capitol Hill townhouse office with a not very charming interior. Kube did a fantastic job of melding modern clean lines with the classic qualities of a 1900s building. They spent significant time listening to how we wanted to use the space, what qualities would make it a workable office, and how we wanted to present the office in relation to the industry that we work in. Use of innovative cove lighting and glass brought light and a sense of spaciousness to the interior. A few great splashes of color, beautiful hardwood floors built to withstand office use, and nice assignment of space all make this a friendly, comfortable, modern office. Great job.

I highly recommend Kube and Rich Loosle - I cannot say enough good things about this firm, professional, creative, involved, hands-on personal touch - everything you would want from a design firm and then some. I have a townhouse in Georgetown, built in the late 1800s, and I wanted to upgrade and modernize my kitchen. A challenging task to say the least. Kube came up with some great ideas and worked with me and contractors all the way to completion, which, blushes aside, resulted in an award-winning kitchen. Kube took my ideas, added ideas I could not have thought of, and helped me create an ideal kitchen and entertainment area. They stayed involved in all phases of the project with daily check-ins over many months and made sure it all came together in the end. Kudos to Kube - a highly-recommended firm.

Fabulous! smart, very nice to work with - helpful - delivering high quality work - not cheap, though. I would hire them again - They did an amazing job in our bathroom renovation. The only thing is that they don't always cut cost - so you have to keep on top of it.

Janet Bloomberg is a wonderful person, which is a big plus when you attach that quality to Kube's skill and professionalism. She provided us with timely drawings of two possibilities for our kitchen remodel. I like her receptivity to and respect of the changes that we suggest. Space is the final frontier in our kitchen, and she has helped us reclaim that with her architectural know how. I look forward to experiencing the completed project.
