Richard provided us with detailed plans for a room addition (den). He was thorough, professional, and listened to want we wanted. Richard was a pleasure to work with, and even though his job is completed, he still checks in to see how things are going.

Richard was recommended to us by our contractor. After the initial meeting with him (and after talking with several other architects) we felt most comfortable with Richard. He spent a great deal of time capture our ideas, concerns, and questions. He provided a number of good tips to ensure the space would be heated/cooled properly and provide us the space that was attractive and fit into the architectural style of our existing home. He finished the plans on time and followed up with us through the construction to see how it was going, see if we had any questions or concerns, and really cared about our project. I would strongly recommend Richard to anyone looking to do a major remodel or new home.
Description of Work: Richard drew up the plans for my sunroom conversion and kitchen area expansion. This job was tricky in that we were taking out load bearing walls, fitting in a number of windows into an older home. We wanted to ensure that the design would appear as if it was originally designed into the home.

Richard was recommended to us by the contractor, Penn Carpentry. As we do not live in the area and did not know an architect we would have preferred, we contracted with him to do the necessary drawings for planning the remodel of a 1950's brick ranch house, intended for rental, and for obtaining the required permits. We met once or perhaps twice, when we could be in town; and within two or three weeks he had completed both sets of drawings, communicating with us by phone and email as we talked back and forth, clarifying and honing our different ideas into the final product. We found Richard to be easy to work with, friendly and professional, and a very good listener to our ideas and desires in the planning and tweaking stages. The end result after construction involved very few changes from the final plans, and has turned out just as we hoped.

We chose Richard after talking with about a half dozen architects. We liked the work he had done in the past and found him easy to get along with. Unlike other architects who were pushing us in directions we did not want to go, Richard was willing to listen to what was important to us and work with us to meet our needs, while all the while ensuring that our plans were physically possible and aesthetically pleasing. We wanted function over aesthetics and comfort over the latest buzz (e.g., he didn’t push us to have a sunken Jacuzzi tub). He was patient, punctual and very responsive. We took an excruciatingly long time to finalize our plans because we kept having new ideas and changing our minds. He was perfect for our types of personalities. His price was very reasonable (on the low side). Importantly, when the time came to implement the plans, he helped us with the contractor choice and was on site when we requested to ensure that the plans were being implemented as drawn. When we had to make changes on the fly for one reason or another, he was quick to help us through it. We were very pleased with his work and are now enjoying the fruits of it: we love our renovated house. We would use him again for a future renovation and would recommend to friends and family who are looking.for a similar architect.
Description of Work: We drew up plans for taking a 2 BR-1BA 1950 ranch and adding a master suite, a new utility closet and laundry room, a large screened porch, small deck and opening up the interior (knocking down walls, smoothing stucco ceilings, adding tray ceilings and moving kitchen). Lot of details and many changes as we changed our minds.
