Architects in Essex, MA

“We did a complete gut and remodel of almost our entire home, and Aimee did all of the design work, from conception to execution, including the kitchen and great room, two bathrooms, 3 bedrooms. We had the best experience, from start to finish. She got to know us and had an amazing understanding of our style, and was able to make suggestions and streamline the whole process. We couldn't be happier with how it came out. We get continuous compliments from everyone who sees our house, particularly on the kitchen, and have recommended Aimee and Jaz Design to everyone we talk to.”

“We have an 1863 house. John Lodge (working closely with Nick Beasley from Adams Beasley contractors) helped us to create an open, modern kitchen and family room (and an additional room in the basement) that have enough of a traditional style that it feels like it fits right in with the old house. I'm not much of a cook but now I want to cook. And all of my friends who are great cooks have kitchen envy! In fact we now spend most of our time in our kitchen/dining room; we used to go in there only when we needed to eat. John worked closely with us to come up with creative solutions for more usable and beautiful space. He worked collaboratively throughout with us, the contractor, and the sub-contractors. He listened to what we wanted and offered options for how to implement our visions. He is a joy to work with. And that's not an easy feat during/after a year long renovation project!”

“Michael was a joy to work with for our remodeling project. He was patient, responsive, and highly collaborative throughout the whole process. His creativity and design acumen helped us to solve some complex layout problems, and to connect the indoors and outdoors in an original and impressive way. In addition to the overall plan, he also designed smaller components that needed his knowledge and attention to detail, including a lighting scheme, shelving system, and custom outdoor furniture. He helped us to research unfamiliar building materials, and provided ample design ideas that we shared using an online file folder. The end result was a space that works beautifully for us and is superior in every way to what we had before. Michael's familiarity with the remodel process from soup to nuts made it possible for him to interface effectively with all the contractors, vendors, and specialists (such as the structural engineer that we needed). He made timely suggestions that improved their work and guided our choices as things unfolded. I highly recommend him for any significant remodel project like ours and smaller jobs that require smart, elegant, cost-effective ideas.”

“Gary Canner is a dedicated, creative architect with great client relationships. Not only does Gary have great design sensibilities, he also has a great depth of knowledge of detailing and the appropriateness of material choices. These attributes combine for an architect with a full range of capabilities.”

“David & his team are top tier professionals. I hired Torrey Architecture after meeting with several other firms for a complex seven figure residential project that required exactness to detail, historical perspective, patience and creative solutions. Working with his team for two years proved to be a great decision as my home came out perfect. Mr Torrey is an unflappable, highly intelligent individual and a pleasure to work with.”

“I have worked with CWC design's Chris Crump on several projects (I'm an interior designer) and he is, by far, the most talented and professional architect that I have ever come across in my industry. I would highly recommend his company to anyone.”

“Great design for my kitchen followed by perfectionist installation - including the great picture window. Looks wonderful. Could not ask for anything more”

“We worked with Leaf Design Associates at the suggestion of our builder. The entire experience was a pleasure. We were very clear about what we wanted and Richard was able to translate our wish list into two different sets of drawings and a third suggesting things we had not thought of and a re-design of our kitchen. In the end, we mixed and matched to come up with a final set of plans, including a new kitchen and are thrilled that we did. This was a redesign/addition to a historic home. Richard worked upfront with our builder and excavator to make sure the design worked within the restrictions set by the Historical Commission. The plans were approved by the Commission on first pass and they noted how pleased they were that the addition looked like it belonged on the original house. Overall, an excellent experience and we highly recommend Leaf Design Associates.”

“Aaron worked with us over a multi-month, fairly extensive renovation of the top floor, roof deck, and interior stairs of our condo. I highly recommend anyone considering working with Aaron Weinert and his team. Aaron is smart, thoughtful, and listens well. He knows the South End of Boston extremely well and was able to execute a design that struck a wonderful balance between a clean, contemporary open design and one that also respects the heritage of the older building and neighborhood in which our unit resides. Aaron also understands the permitting process with the Boston Landmarks Commission, which can be quite tricky when altering the outside of a historic building, and was able to smoothly shepherd us through without a hitch.”

“I can't say enough about Eric. I have been a top producing Real Estate Broker in Boston and North Shore Communities for nearly a decade now. I have met countless people in the industry and most enter your brain and exit just as fast. From the minute I met Eric I new this would be one guy that I would never forgot. Eric is a true professional, but beyond that, being an architect is something that I feel he was born to do. He has such a fine eye for details and his visions are off the charts. I brought him in for a large renovation last Fall in Winchester, MA. The client I had just sold this house to already had an architect and had some preliminary drawings already prepared. However, she agreed to meet with Eric and after just one visit she was blown away with his ideas and creativity! I would recommend him whether you are building a home, adding to your existing home, or doing a renovation. I personally use him, and would not trust anyone else as you only have 1 chance to get it right!”
