C2 Architecture

I have worked with Jim Cassidy and C2 on some of the most satisfying projects I have completed in the past 5 years. Jim is infinitely mindful of his role as Architect and how important that synergy is between Owner, Builder and Architect. He is humble and measured and is always bettering a project through collaborative ideas and never forcing an agenda or an aesthetic. He is a great listener and alley for both the client and builder--which is very rare in the decade I have been in this business. The team of people that Jim has assembled in his office-- Ilka, Jessica and Joe--are all class acts and love what they do. There is an air of joy that collides perfectly with immense skill and knowledge of building science that sets C2 far apart. I cannot recommend them more highly and look forward to many more projects with C2 in the near future.

I t has been a year since C 2 Architure helped us to create a stunning and workable kitchen. They helped us to convert 3 small dysfunctional spaces in our 1920's stone house into an open, bright, modern and functional space. Our new kitchen is sleek and spare while maintaing compatibility with our traditional home. Working together with our C2 team was collaborative, easy and pure pleasure. Our architects were always available for consultation, sourcing and ideas. They are thoughtful and creative problem solvers. C2 gets our unconditional recommendation.

The re-design that C2Architecture completed for The Cooperative Nursery school has completely changed our daily experience for the better. They designed our work areas and cubby areas beautifully while still maintaining the essence of our historic building nestled in the woods. A nursery school is a busy place that experiences a lot of wear and tear but the systems they put in place will last a lifetime.

It was a GREAT decision to work with the people at C2. They understood the constraints of our old kitchen, butler's pantry, and dining room and created a new vision, inclusive of our ideas. Our re-imagined kitchen and mudroom have a new orientation, doorways, windows, and interior walls that maximize space and light. C2 transformed our home and our home-life. We could not be happier.

We recommend C2 Architecture to everyone with whom we discuss our project! We hired C2 to design a two story addition to our 1880’s single family house, and to reconfigure and modernize the original Victorian layout of the house. To say we are pleased with the outcome would be an understatement! Although we added only modest square footage to our home, the addition was designed in a very smart, sensitive and appropriate way on the exterior as well as on the interior. The home flows much better, and feels much more spacious and comfortable. Jim was a pleasure to work with. He had a great relationship with us as clients and all contractors. This was the second time we hired C2 Architecture and we would do it again!

C2 Architecture met every positive attribute we could have hoped for in connection with the design of our new home. They worked closely with us on developing the interior spaces and on material choices, and the exterior design they created was breathtaking. They were persistent in obtaining permits, prompt in providing schematic design and then final construction documents, and they consistently visited the site during construction to review the work and for necessary meetings (they had a terrific working relationship with the general contractor). Their fee was modest, and they worked closely with us to help keep construction and material costs down. Not only are they competent professionals, but they are genuinely nice people to know and with whom to work. All sound too good to be true? Well, it may sound too good, but every word is true!
