Featured Reviews for New York, NY Architects and Building Designers

nC2 architecture llc
New York, NY Architects and Building Designers
2 Dec 2012
“Richard and Michael are fantastic to work with. They are very creative and highly professional. Our project is a complete gut job renovation of a 140 year old row house in Brooklyn. NC2 has come at it with complete enthusiasm from day one, and have stayed positive and focused even when we have hit rough patches. Our favorite part about working with them is their collaboration style. They do a good job of doing all the "hard work" behind the scenes, but they truly make us feel that we are part of the team. They take our feedback wholeheartedly, they are always ready to walk away from an idea they may really like if it doesn't resonate with us, and they are totally open and respectful to ideas we bring to the table. It helps that we have similar taste and style, but in general, they just have a great collaborative and respectful approach. They also have been very good to work with on budget management. We would recommend them for any jobs, large or small.”
Spivak Architects

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Spivak Architects. They expertly designed my post-production office space last summer, which needed to be both a space for high end film and advertising clients and focused high tech teamwork. Spivak created such an intimate feeling and relationship between our editing rooms and our communal lounge space. They considered every detail during the build. They were so thoughtful in making sure that the clients who would inhabit the space, would be comfortable and effective in their work. They were invariably professional and easy to collaborate with. They were always on time and on budget. The end results fit our needs perfectly. Clients and employees alike absolutely love what they did with the space. I had the absolute easiest time building my new company because of them!!! We are so thankful to Spivak!”

“I cannot recommend this great family business enough! I hired them last year for a full kitchen renovation, and they were able to complete the project with no major issues. They were extremely professional and payed attention to every little detail, giving me the kitchen I have always wanted. The team works together so well, and they were so patient with me as I was picking out the perfect materials and countertop. I highly recommend them!”
BENJAMIN ANDRES ARCHITEKT
New York, NY Architects and Building Designers
21 Jan 2018
“Benjamin’s approach to planning, developing and designing is exquisite. He has incredible eyes and understanding of how to move the design process from concept to reality. He designed a vacation home for me by merging and shaping my numerous needs with conflicting styles into a beautiful home. He is easy to work with and very talented in helping to realize your vision. No matter the size of the project, the level of detail and attention is impeccable!”
Diversified Design Associates Architects, P.C.
New York, NY Architects and Building Designers
29 Jan 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.”
Baxter Projects
New York, NY Architects and Building Designers
23 Jan 2018
“I was not only extraordinarily happy with the work of Baxter Projects, I also learned so much throughout the entire process, to make the best and most informed choices for my lifestyle and my family. Baxter Projects has extensive experience across a variety of design spectrums, and the entire process of renovating our home was inspiring and informational. He was also incredibly thoughtful when it came to materials, budget, and timeline, using sensitivity and efficiencies throughout the duration of the project. I would highly recommend Baxter Projects for both smaller ambitious projects and bigger visionaries builds and renovations that require commitment and serious expertise.”
Tonos Design Studio
New York, NY Architects and Building Designers
28 Nov 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!”
Wadia Associates
New York, NY Architects and Building Designers
13 Sep 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.”
Richard Massa Architect
New York, NY Architects and Building Designers
24 Feb 2017
“Richard turned out 150-year-old Brooklyn townhouse into the perfect home. In helping us realize our dream house, he came up with wonderfully creative ideas to solve every issue that arose--and he was a pleasure to work with. We could not be happier.”
MG New York Architects

“MG New York Architects works professionally, and in a timely and cost-efficient manner. It was a pleasure to work with their team and I would definitely use them again in the future.”

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your New York, NY home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer 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, NY general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. 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 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.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm 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. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building 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 an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects 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 architects and building designers in New York, NY:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • 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 general contractors and renovation contractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
