She creatively used every inch of space and was able to maximize storage for us. The ideas she thought of, we would have never thought of and I am so thankful for. Her attention to detail during all steps of the process is so appreciated. The best part is, all the work and designs have paid off in multiples. We recently put our place on the market and received 10+ offers within 5 days at ask and above. Everyone loved all the built ins (entertainment center, mudroom area, built in benches, desk are, storage column) all which were her ideas and vision. I cried happy tears! I cannot wait to work with her again!!

We needed professional architectural drawings and diagrams of the building, which is dated almost 100years, and were under a time crunch to complete the project. Mel was punctual and easy to communicate with throughout the project. Mel's professionalism definitely made us more confident in the vision at hand. We were more than satisfied with the completed project and would definitely hire Mel & his design firm in the future for any architectural needs. Gesture Ink demonstrated excellence in our project and if you are looking for a licensed architect for your needs I would 100% recommend this company.

They saved me a lot of headache. I didn't have to deal with 10 different people, that was worth it all.

I saw a passive house he was gut renovating in Park Slope, and it was absolutely stunning! Jim knows how to preserve historic details while bringing the design into the modern era in a tasteful, classic way. He exudes calmness and wisdom and is a pleasure to be around. Full disclosure in that I ultimately had to choose a less experienced architect because Jim's fee, although completely reasonable given his level of skill and expertise, was a bit out of our price range.

Jim is very detailed and each week during renovation, we had him manage the project with the contractor to ensure the final output was done properly. Most Manhattan apartments are not symmetrical, so the early stage on doing things a certain way goes a long way on the final look. He understands plumbing, and electrical well to communicate to our contractors. He referred us to a HVAC engineer. When it came to interior design, we had Sarah who provided feedback and suppliers information. She was also very helpful. Jim knows the DOB process well and helped us resolved many issues even during covid and DOB rule changed in 2020 and 2021. We also had him manage the project with the contractors. The contractors don't have the same design eyes and were a bit sloppy and forgetful so it was imperative to have Jim help us. Urban charges by the hour and provided an accurate estimate of the cost. Make sure what projects he's working on so he can allocate time properly. In the beginning with the design drawing schematic, it took a while cause he was on a couple of brownstone projects but overall still have a very positive experience with Jim. He was responsive.

All other people whom I have encountered from Modern Citi were all approachable and interacted with me with a friendly smile! My husband and I are very happy with the outcome of this renovation, and I will highly recommend Modern Citi group to any of my NYC friends who are looking for a professional company for renovations!
