Brad is consistently responsive and communicative, making coordination between architecture and structural engineering seamless.

We used Jonathan as the architect for a redesign of our kitchen in Arlington. His work was very…read moreprofessional. He gave us multiple design options and had a nice toolset to be able to render them visually for us. He (and the partner firm, PorterBuild) was very involved in helping us access vendors and make design choices. And he supported us during the actual build - very hands on. Things got done when they were supposed to be done, and we understood costs for all the activity (although we ended up overbudget, that was out fault - we liked some fancy things and used the exercise to fix a bunch of other things at the house). His subcontractors were really professional as well. I'd recommend him for project work wholeheartedly..

NEDC did a major design and renovation on our house in 2024, centering around the kitchen. It's…read morestill amazing to me how much positive impact this project has had on our lives. The new open space is just a joy to be in, even when we're not cooking, but even more so when we are. We are grateful for Schneidee's guidance through the design phase, recommending so much we would never have thought of ourselves, and generally being sure the new space would work for us. And it was tremendously comforting to have someone of John's expertise and resourcefulness guiding us through construction. Both Schneidee and John were a real pleasure to work with. I must admit, I thought "lifting spirits with spaces" was just a nice slogan, but it is indeed a real experience we have everyday. Super happy and super grateful!

He was a great listener, and then direct end up front with us about possibilities. We hope that we will have the opportunity to work with NEDC on a longer-term basis in the future.
