Spring is the Perfect Time to Renovate Your Home and/or Office

Spring Ahead…. Spring is a perfect time to not only clean out your clutter – like the boxes in your garage you have been avoiding, but it’s an optimum time to meet with a design professional and consider different options to renovate your home.  Whether you are looking to enhance your home for yourself or to re-sell, an Architect can help you get the most out of your project.  Here are some quick sketches after 2 client meetings, where the clients were looking to update their kitchen.  Once approved we will move on to design development and construction drawings, which can be used for obtaining pricing from contractors and permits for construction.

Our Team: Maya, Steph, Frank, Bill and Chris. Photo by Victor Mazzeo

Our goal is to build a world class modernist home in the Catskill Mountains of New York State on a reasonable budget. We have decided to renovate an existing property vs build new. We began our search in September 2011, we found our property in January 2012, we closed in June 2012 and broke ground on August 7th. We plan to complete by December 31st. This is our story. This is our team.
