Highly, highly recommend Lammert Design Studio for your architectural needs. We recently worked…read morewith Emily on a residential remodel which was fairly large in scope. Emily's knowledge and passion for what she does is far beyond what we experienced with other architects during our initial search. She outlined the process and expectations, as well as provided suggestions (i.e. outside costs for structural engineers, permits, surveying, etc.) for aspects which came up as needing to be a part of our project. She was familiar with local codes, our city, and was able to guide us to what we really wanted for our project while staying within our renovation budget. Emily remained involved in all facets of our project to ensure that we, as the clients, were happy and our vision was able to become a reality. We recently finished our renovation and are beyond happy with the outcome. We cannot recommend Emily at Lammert Design Studio enough! Without her vision, none of this would have been possible.

David designed and supervised our house renovation. The scope of renovation was building an…read moreadditional garage bay, new screened porch and deck, laundry room, extending existing family room and kitchen and renovating all bathrooms and the kitchen. Our challenges included transforming a standard traditional house into contemporary style home. A few architects that we interviewed had no idea how to approach the project. David drew us a picture of our new house in the first meeting in 10 minutes. Then he took the house measurements, entered them into an architectural software and produced a computer design of our house renovation. At any stage of the design we were able to see the pictures of the new design or get into 3D viewer and "walk" around the house trying on the new spaces. David helped us to find the right GC. David guided us through the entire construction process, helped managing the billing schedule and controlling the budget. David introduced and designed many interesting details in the house: the new stairs, kitchen, fireplaces, front entrance, doors, windows, trim. He paid attention to every little detail and worked on it. He designed and implemented innovative lighting ideas in the house. David explained all his ideas to the contractors while he was overseeing the construction, frequently visiting the site. He detailed the tile layouts and the plumbing fixtures locations to agree with the layout. David found a kitchen maker who made our challenging kitchen exceptionally well. David always knew the best materials for the task and where to find them for the best price. He is a very professional, knowledgable designer. He is very efficient to resolve any problem or find a competent professional who can do that. We have now our dream house that has a lot of light and space. We are convinced that our house would never be that great without David's work.

We hired Light House to design a beach house for us. We thought we knew what we wanted, but David…read moredesigned a house that we would have never thought of that we adore. He has more ideas in one minute than most people have in their lifetime! But he is also very practical and budget-oriented, and continually suggested alternate materials or methods that would get the same effect for less money. He also designed all the furniture and lighting, even the pool. I can't imagine ever leaving this house- it's actually hard to go on vacation now, because we miss all the custom touches. We just can't say enough.

(From my wife, but I agree!): My husband and I hired Andrew and his team at Oak Hill Architects to…read moredesign, execute, and manage a significant addition/renovation to our home in Chestnut Hill. Andrew came up with and executed ideas that make our home so much more functional for our family and modern day living. Andrew is a good listener, thoughtful, intelligent, concise, organized, creative, straightforward, and honest. He recommended a quality contractor who we had an excellent experience with; I do not know many people who feel that way about their contractors post-construction! In addition, Andrew managed our project from start to post-completion, which is key for two busy, full-time working parents. We are thrilled with the new functionality of our living spaces and would not hesitate to recommend Andrew and his team. In fact, as a real estate attorney, I have the ability to refer Andrew to clients (and friends), and do so on a regular basis. Everyone I know that has used Andrew's services sing his praises.

I initially had reservations about using a designer in general because I wasn't sure how everything would look and I wanted my house to be mine after everything was said and done. Allen was very receptive to my concerns and helped both me and my fiance understand the remodeling process and helped to keep in in control of the process. His suggestions ended up being exactly what I was looking for and then some! He was even able to help me work around the restrictions of my condo association which was amazing! Highly recommended I can't say it enough.

Allen and his team at Sovereign Design Associates are simply fantastic. We entered into a full home…read moreremodel and huge addition with a lot of trepidation. Essentially, most of our house was demo'd for this major project. We were nervous about everything, cost, design, etc and Allen walked us through each step, making us extremely confident about the project. He is very thoughtful and experienced when it comes to both function and thinking long term to resale value. Allen made many suggestions that we did not know were even possible to increase the functionality of our (new) home. We are now in the midst of the renovation/addition and he is still involved in the process to make sure we are happy with the design. I really cannot say enough about him as well as the contractor that he referred us to. We would highly recommend Allen and SDA (so much so that 2 of our neighbors are planning to work with him in the near future)!

From the early design phase, he gave me multiple choices to select from, he was easy and fun to work with. He made regular site visits, which was very important to me as I was always several hours away. When challenges arose, he was easily accessible and always provided valuable insight and advice. As important as anything, Scott's work is known and respected on the Cape, which carried a lot of weight during the permitting process. I would call upon Scott and his team again if I ever undertake a similar project in the future.

Best of all, he is not a diva! Hallelujah, someone you can actually collaborate with!! I can't recommend Scott highly enough!

Our plan…read moreis to rebuild it in a few years and we wanted to have the architectural drawings on hand to fall back on when the time was right. He was very responsive and ended up completing the project well ahead of schedule. He gave us a digital copy of everything we needed and it came out great. I actually printed it out and had it framed, it looks like artwork on the wall of our new place and we have a cool story to tell people when they ask about it. I'm a real estate agent and work with architects pretty frequently. I was looking for a new firm to work with and I firmly believe it's always best to try the services out myself before recommending them to clients. That being said, I would definitely use them again and I will be referring them to others going forward!
