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 was great to work with. We did a semi-gut renovation in 3 bedroom/2 bathroom apt. The quality…read moreof his work and suggestions were exactly what we wanted based on my husband and my feedback. 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.

Surprisingly, 15 minutes later, he submitted to the Town Building Dept. what we paid him to do. He is also VERY argumentative with us and the Town. Dov prefers to do things his way and not comply with how the Town wants things done. Shouldn't the Architect Code of Conduct include acting with honesty, respecting colleagues and complying with laws?

The design and floor plan of this house was one of the best layouts we've seen and a big reason we went through with the home purchase. The original owner however never closed out the work permits with the GC that he used, so Arnold and his team helped me navigate a very cumbersome NYC DOB electric, gas and construction approval process so I could obtain the final CO. Arnold and his team were communicative and guided us along the way. Appreciate their help closing it out and would recommend them!

We cannot say enough good things about the AMPM staff! We found Arnie about 2 years before we were…read moreconvinced we actually wanted to renovate our Queens 2-story, one family home. During that period we consulted with Arnie roughly three to four times on the things we'd need to get done (including an extensive asbestos abatement) without charging us a dime. When we were ready to go into contract, Arnie and his team helped us design an absolutely beautiful project that included an upgrade to every facet of our home. Shortly thereafter COVID hit and our project was significantly delayed. We were, however, lucky that Arnie and his amazing staff availed themselves during business and non-business hours to advise us on a variety of issues from navigating the DOBNOW webpages to reasonable locations to get quartz countertops. No project is without obstacles and between energy efficient windows and the skyrocketing price of wood, we DEFINITELY had our fair share. We can definitely attest that Arnie, Celia and their professional and knowledgeable staff made the navigation of those pitfalls a LOT easier. We can say in no uncertain terms that we highly recommend the use of AMPM for your next construction project. Thanks Arnie! Mr & Mrs. Jones

A REVIEW THAT'S LONG OVERDUE!…read more I cannot sing the praises loud enough for Louise and her great staff! I went to Louise because I was adding an addition to my house. I knew what I wanted because I was copying a neighbor who added the same addition to his house. I met with Louise and she gently suggested that I may have a better option. For no extra charge, she prepared two black-line drawings: my design and hers. Hands down, her idea was much better, and I am so pleased about the design, and how it looks like it was part of the house; not an addition. I guess if you're smart enough, you can go to school to learn the math and science of architecture. However, to be good and great, you need to have innate artistic ability, which Louise possesses. Louise and her staff truly care. Example, when deciding whether to put in a sky light, Louise factored in the direction of my home, and how the sun tracks throughout the seasons. On another note, my GC asked Louise a lot of questions throughout the construction; he probably took more of Louise' time that I'm even aware of. Although I should have probably been billed for her time, she never did. When I made changes to the design, she did not take advantage of me. Her fees for the changes and extra printing were very reasonable. I can go on forever but, to sum it up, a true gem; a master of her craft; a good person, and a fantastic staff. Thank you, Louise:)

This architect is disgustingly unprofessional and more importantly, a bad person. He was 15 minutes late to our meeting, walked in while I was speaking to his co workers, Jasmine and Dong, and was completely dismissive about the entire meeting. When I started to ask him about the next steps to move forward, like how to pull permits and the pricing for the design, he completely FLIPPED out telling me why would he pull permits when that's the contractor's job? I was a bit taken aback since my previous architect pulled permits alongside my contractor. He then started to allege that I use unlicensed contractors. I started to wonder what he was getting at and why he was being such a rude jerk. He then had the nerve to pull out the BIS gov website and ask me about the contractor I used and the address. When I tried to tell him the architect firm, he got very angry and said why would I care about the architect? HELLO! You asked who pulled the permits! He found my previous project and everything was up to code. This guy is disgusting. There is NP way he's a legit architect because he doesn't have any skills on how to speak to clients. Stay away. You can find architects who pull permits alongside the contractors. This means he has very bad relationships with the DOB.
