From the moment he rang our doorbell he showed zero interest in helping us design our new home. Which is why I really don't understand why he came. Then he said he would email me a proposal, but I never even gave him my email address and when I asked him if he had it, he said yes I have it somewhere. Which further proved he had no interest in doing our project and of course I never received an email. Very unprofessional. Since then we have found a much better architect and are very pleased with his professionalism.

He sent me a contract which, after we had discussed the project, I signed and gave him a $1000 deposit. He promised that he would have something for me by "Friday or Monday at the latest." About 2 weeks later, he emailed to say that He was having personal problems (in detail!) but again promised to have something for me by "Friday or Monday at the latest." I haven't heard a word since. That was over 2 months ago. I have asked for my deposit back since he is not doing anything but I get no response. I would give him negative stars if I could. Do not hire this man!

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.
