Eco Home Professionals in East Hampton North, NY

“Designed and supervised the construction of our retirement home on the coast of Prince Edward Island. He worked with a construction company who had never worked with an architect before.”

“Foster Architecture does beautiful and well-conceived work. His approach to problem solving is both professional and calm. My project was a renovation of a 1970’s builder’s contemporary that was visually disorganized inside and out. Foster re-organized and balanced the spaces, completely transforming the interior and exterior with small aesthetic changes throughout, while integrating the building into the surrounding land, giving the house an up-to-date 21st Century look and quality. Foster’s knowledge of the aesthetic use of materials is comprehensive and creative. I highly recommend his work and look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“Complete remodel of mid-century home interior. Chris Arelt is a grad of Yale School of Architecture, and his knowledge and creativity show in the results of this project. Ask him for photos of our award-winning kitchen. The details and custom cabinetry are superb - he listened to our needs and wants, and got it right!”

“Helped in the development of a fitness studio in Briarcliff Manor NY. Very professional from start to finish. Also made valuable observations to enhance the project and add to the quality of the final design and construction.”

“I consider Diversified a design team, as well as a top sub-contractor, who not only identify the right construction solutions but understand a project from an architectural, engineering, and interior design perspective. I have employed Diversified to provide me with all three services, architectural plans, engineering work (including obtaining obtaining permits) and subcontracting work. Diversified does a good job in holding the subcontractors accountable that work is done well and on time. They ensure subs work in concert with one another so there are relatively few lapses in work as compared to other firms. I have not been stuck with a punch list that takes months to address. They address issues and problems right away. My level of satisfaction is so high, I have hired Diversified to work on two different houses. The first time I have ever hired a contractor more than once. The work on my first home was so well done and had such a positive impact on our curb appeal, the house was sold in 3 days! I employed them the second time when I needed a firm who could move quickly in making my fixer upper move in ready (they even helped me out in the aftermath or Super storm Sandy). While the work may be a tad more expensive, it was worth the extra investment to make sure the end product was well done. I absolutely recommend Diversified.”

“We retained her to make some revisions to our architecturally designed, published home. Her design was the solution we needed. Moreover the workers she recommended to execute her design were excellent.”

“Anne Surchin was an excellent architect for our small farmhouse -style kitchen renovation in Southold. I had seen a friend's renovation by her and was impressed enough to then hire her for our kitchen. She is extremely knowledgeable about architectural styles and costs and was able to work within our means. She suggested an excellent builder who kept prices down. As a woman, she was especially mindful of my needs and comfort in the kitchen and was imaginative at suggesting ideas when I didn't have a clue. I would highly recommend Anne for those who have an appreciation of good architecture and would like an architect who has the same.”

“It only took one meeting to realize that Bill’s capacity and talent far exceeded the 3 other architects I had interviewed. I have been continually impressed by his attention to detail, follow through and ability to balance client desire with an incredible design. Bill has the unusual ability to balance world class design with real-world application. Bill Sclight gets my highest recommendation.”

“simply the best architect and professional i have worked with on the east end in over 25 years. A real pro. I have known Marks firm for a long time and everyone is a pleasure to work with.”

“My wife and I retained Modern Shelter to design for our backyard a detached writing studio that could double as an extra guest bedroom. We wanted a unique, interesting and functional building that would not clash with the main house. Grayson and Heidi Jordan came through in every respect and we loved working with them! They brainstormed repeatedly and at length with us and patiently presented us with new concepts and ultimately wonderful revisions to the concept we settled on. They were generous with their time and highly attentive to our tastes, needs and objectives. They managed to budget effectively and always gave us a variety of options from which to choose. Their due diligence was superb; they consulted effectively with engineers, landscape experts, suppliers and – most importantly – with local building officials to ensure that we could do what we wanted to do. They never withheld negative news and at the same time always found workarounds to any obstacles encountered. We have no doubt that their ability to develop strong relationships of trust with all of these parties would help the construction process to go smoothly. At our request, they also conducted the contractor selection process and ultimately helped us find just the right company. In the end, unexpected family circumstances intervened and we had to postpone actual construction. In the meantime, we periodically pull out the stunning designs and plans they created and longingly review them. We hope in the future to bring the project to fruition. Grayson and Heidi are not only consummate professionals but personally delightful individuals. They always go the extra mile. They complement each other in every way and we are pleased to consider them friends. We have been involved with numerous architects on projects large and small throughout our lives, and we can say that none has been more trustworthy, competent, professional or personally enjoyable than the Jordans.”
