“We have worked with Karen at Brinkman for countless projects; baths, kitchens, whole-house remodels; light commercial spaces, and additions. She is a true professional and has some great ideas for the spaces we are hired to remodel. She is willing to stop by on a moment's notice for questions and advice, which is important for the remodeling that we are involved in. We plan to continue working with her for all of our remodels in the future.”

“Robie is terrific. We interviewed quite a few architects for this job. Many had great ideas and beautiful plans though they were double our budget. Robie stuck to the budget and came up with lots of great ideas. He was very flexible and creative. We'd use him again in a heartbeat!!!! We love the result and the pictures posted don't do it justice!”

“We worked with Samantha to design and reconfigure our master suite. From start to finish, Sam was super pleasant to work with, and went above and beyond to insure that we were happy with our project. Sam was a great listener and communicator and incorporated all of our wishes into her design, while introducing us to new innovative ideas. She helped with the selection of all materials, worked seamlessly with our contractor and designer, and gave great attention to detail. Our end result is an amazing master bedroom and bath suite which we are enjoying immensely. I highly recommend Sam and would use her again in the future without hesitation.”

“I would highly recommend Frank for any project. He is prompt, thorough and goes through the details that make job great. He is also very honest and has great respect for the budget. I would hire again without any hesitation.”

“We worked with J_spy Architecture on a complete gut renovation and combination of our 2 bedroom apartment with the neighboring 1 bedroom unit in Battery Park City Manhattan. Jason and Paola were amazing to work with, and guided us every step of the way. From our initial meetings on reimaging what the space could be, to delivery of the final product, J_spy ensured that no item (no matter how small) was overlooked. They created a clean, modern and most importantly functional apartment which perfectly met the needs of our growing family. While construction can be a stressful undertaking, Jason and Paola made the process smooth and enjoyable with their ongoing construction management and quality control. I would highly recommend J_spy architecture to anyone looking to work with award winning, trustworthy architects who also have great design sense which emphasizes their clients needs every step of the way,”

“Nash was very professional , passionate , and informative throughout the design process. It has been a pleasure working with Nash on the design of our custom dream home.”

“I contacted Mr. Gogan about a condo I own that needed rehab. Mr. Gogan responded very quickly and gave me a great deal of advice without asking for a retainer, or fee. He was extremely generous with his time and advice, reaching-out to permitting and other approval authorities on his own (with my OK, of course). I found/find his advice, insight, experience and initiative very valuable and reassuring. I look forward to continuing to work with him through to completion.”

“I had the pleasure of knowing and working with the owners of Z+ Architects on mutual clients projects and it was a wonderful experience. I am a big believer in collaborating with like minded people and professionals, so working with Mike and Mary Scro (both owners) was very easy and enjoyable. Simply we strive for the same things, designs that are thought provoking, but more importantly, suit the site and the clients needs, function, budget and life style. They clearly love what they do and are so incredibly accountable, sincere and committed to their craft and clients, that is why I hired them for my personal residence. They listen to your needs, goals, objectives and financial expectations. They process and process again, in order to flush out the best answers and results. The most important thing that I immediately noticed and felt from these professionals, is that they truly care about what they do and what their clients need. That is a quality that can't be measured and is equally important to me as a person. They want you to be completely satisfied and show that through their effort and commitment. I hope you will find out for yourself what we experienced first hand!!”

“Went through several different Architects and Designers over the years with mediocre and mixed results. I recently had the pleasure of working with PAD Architects on a project, and I must say that throughout the entire process, PAD Architects demonstrated their expertise and dedication, making the experience truly exceptional. One of the standout aspects of working with PAD Architects was their high level of involvement. From the initial consultation to the final stages of the project, they were fully committed and actively engaged. They took the time to thoroughly understand our requirements, ensuring that every detail was taken into consideration. Their professionalism and passion for their work were evident in their consistent communication and prompt response to our inquiries. It was evident that our satisfaction was their top priority. PAD Architects proved to be an invaluable resource during the entire duration of the project. They were not only helpful but went above and beyond to provide guidance and support. They patiently listened to our ideas and concerns, offering valuable insights and suggestions based on their extensive experience. Their ability to interpret our vision and translate it into a practical and aesthetically pleasing design was truly impressive. Furthermore, I was thoroughly impressed by the amount of time PAD Architects dedicated to our project. They took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the design process, ensuring we were well-informed and comfortable with the decisions being made. Their attention to detail and meticulousness were evident in their approach, as they never rushed through any aspect of the project. They meticulously reviewed and refined each design element, resulting in a final product that exceeded our expectations. What truly sets PAD Architects apart is their amazing design ideas. They possess a unique ability to think outside the box and bring creative solutions to the table. Their designs seamlessly blend functionality and aesthetics, creating spaces that are not only visually stunning but also practical and efficient. Their innovative ideas breathed new life into our project and transformed it into something truly remarkable. In conclusion, working with PAD Architects was an absolute pleasure. Their high level of involvement, helpfulness, and dedication, coupled with their exceptional design ideas, make them a standout architectural firm. I wholeheartedly recommend PAD Architects to anyone seeking a professional, knowledgeable, and talented team to bring their architectural dreams to life.”

“Boaz Golani, principal of BMG Design/Build designed and project managed an extensive renovation of our 1920s Tudor-revival house, focussing on kitchen and bathroom. The work required fully demolishing the spaces, to the studs, replacing wiring and plumbing, and executing a redesign which was true to the period details of the house, but kicked the whole place up a couple of levels in convenience and elegance. Golani was brilliant in his aesthetic and practical creative problem solving. He sourced and managed fine craftsmen, and was onsite everyday, keeping the job on time and budget. Few clients are as fortunate as we were in achieving all and more than we expected without any pains except the inevitable one of writing checks.”
