He doesn't settle for less, and makes it clear to subcontractors. He makes sure his clients get excellent value. He is one of the rare architects that knows how historic work should be done, and how to get something built for 50- 100 years, rather than the all too frequent 5-7 years we see many residential clients ending up with from unscrupulous subcontractors or incompetent architectural advice on the majority of historic renovations.

Adi suggested making changes to the existing layout and improved the plan substantially.

We're very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Adi for design and architectural services.

His design also turned the space (which is a duplex apartment with a tenant unit above) into much more than I imagined it could be. It's now been featured on a few design sites! He also took my opinions into consideration and worked creatively around my budget considerations. I really appreciated the amount of time and attention he gave to the project and especially all the small but important details that now make all the difference.

It was a pleasure working with Josh. His technical expertise and attention to detail guided the project from permit drawings through the construction process. Also, his modern design sensibility helped us create a beautiful and highly functional custom kitchen layout. He created a double kitchen island layout that allows us access throughout the apartment. It was an innovative idea that we did not think of before. In addition to architectural scope Josh's wife, Jack, provided interior decorating services, helping us select the optimal furniture for our renovated space. Jack's modern style and selection of the furniture was spot on and really brought out the potential of our new home. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend their services. The husband wife duo provided a turn key solution for our apartment.

Working with Jack was one of the best decisions we made for our home, but more importantly, for our…read morefamily. From the very beginning, she had a vision that we couldn't see, but trusted enough to follow. We were hesitant about committing to a treehouse bed--it felt like a big, slightly risky choice--but Jack gently pushed us to go for it. That decision completely transformed the room. What was once just a bedroom is now a magical, imaginative world where our daughters play, dream, and truly live. It's the heart of their childhood right now, and we have Jack to thank for that. They play for hours there and enter into a world of their own. She has an incredible eye for statement pieces. The wallpaper she helped us choose is a perfect example--this stunning blush pink with ornate, gold peacock detailing that somehow feels both whimsical and sophisticated. It's a true "moment." People comment on it the second they walk into our apartment, and Jack knew from the start that it would define the space. She was absolutely right. She also has a gift for solving design challenges in a way that feels both practical and beautiful. Our daughters' room had no closets, and we were working with a bulky IKEA wardrobe that felt purely functional. Jack reimagined it completely--adding blush-toned doors to match the wallpaper and new hardware--so that it now looks like a custom, built-in piece that could have cost thousands. It's seamless, elevated, and incredibly smart. Every choice she made felt intentional. The rug she selected pulled the entire room together in a way I had struggled to do despite looking at endless inspiration images. It's not only beautiful but also a space our daughters love to play on every day. What really sets Jack apart is her commitment to getting things just right. We had chosen a chandelier we liked, and most designers would have left it there--but Jack kept searching until she found something we truly loved. The final piece she selected is now one of my favorite lighting fixtures in our entire apartment. This room is more than just well-designed--it's joyful, imaginative, and deeply personal. Jack didn't just decorate a space; she transformed how our daughters experience their home, and for that, I'm forever grateful. Jack really cares--about her clients, about their spaces, and good enough isn't good enough. She cares about your space in the way that you do, and that is truly rare.

We knew we didn't have time to visit architect offices and review plans during the week days. After knowing our situation, Yanni committed to working with us on some weekends and nights. His flexibility made this project much easier to manage. He helped with layout designs and gave us so many good ideas to explore. He is an architect and designer. He is also a great resource in helping us selecting a general contractor through the bidding process. He kept us informed of the paperwork process which involves expediting service & DOB. We spent a couple months in planning our layout - looking back it's totally worth it. Every small detail makes a difference once you start the construction. Like any other construction projects, there were times we had to make changes but Yanni stayed on top of the issue and provided options to help us correct the issues. Thank you Paper Plane Architecture and Yanni for making this project a success!!
