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..

Our house is extremely well laid out and was designed exactly the way we wanted, when we went to them with some concept ideas. We had a tough time with our contractor, but Patrick kept him in line with the specs they selected and although our builder was a challenge, Patrick and his firm kept the project on plan. We'd definitely use him again. You get what you pay for, as excellent architecture does not come cheap. We are thankful he designed our Martha's Vineyard House. We were very pleased With him and his staff which was mostly Cesar for us!

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!

If you are looking for an Architect to design your new home or help you remodel your existing one,…read moreyou cannot do better than Charles Navratil at Architects 2. For a relatively modest sum of money, Charles helped us with a very challenging remodeling project. He helped us with a very significant gut-and-remodel job, where we had strict setback concerns, neighborhood guidelines, and original challenges. For example, we wanted to build an enclosed porch around a 50+ year old Maple Tree. And, he did it! If I were to sum up Charlie's greatest strength, it would be his vision. He comes up with designs that are inspiring, yet functional. He also helped us through the entire project and made sure that our contractors built the house as designed. Charlie's a quiet guy, and doesn't come off as either the "starched-white-shirt" kind or architect, or the "I'm the greatest" salesman-architect. But, judge him on his work product, and you won't be disappointed. You should probably also know that I have no other affiliation with Architects 2, and in fact, chose them after meeting with a dozen prospective firms. In fact, they don't know that I'm writing this review. So please accept my opinion when I say, Architects 2 is the best!

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.

Designworks gave us a sparkling new hardwood floor and cushiony top-of-the line carpeting on the 2nd floor for the first job. Paul came highly recommended by friends and quite frankly when you see his work it sells itself. We went with them even though the estimate was higher than another contractor because this company bases their estimates off the costs of the highest priced supplies. The real cost depends on the quality of product you choose to have installed. So these estimates are truely accurate if you want the best product in your property investment. Given the amount of stress I was under due to planning our wedding in 3 months, moving and changing employers, working with Designworks was a stress relief. When the work was complete my house was sparkling. They vacuumed the entire house, no foot prints, saw dust or any trace of their presence was left behind! They handled demolition, moving heavy appliances out of the kitchen and recommended tiling for the entryways to preserve the life of the wood. Being a new homeowner I was so thankful for Paul's knowledge. He clearly communicated all costs and any decisions we had to make. We just hired Designworks to update our bathroom venthilation system and toilets this past April,2012. Again, so happy with the work. For all our future home improvement and customizations, I know where I'm taking my business.
