You'd be a damn fool to consider a different architect!

Your work was not only outstanding for design, for sensitivity to the way we live and entertain, and for meticulous care about our budget, but you were rigorous in controlling the quality & pace of the contractors and subcontractors.

For a long time we wanted to make our house more livable (yet) be faithful to the century-old look of the house. You and your colleagues...are creative, professional, and enjoyable company. You were able to give us everything we wanted and make it look like it as always part of the house. We are delighted with the result!
