“We retained Rodriguez Studio when we bought our house and have been incredibly happy with Carlos and his team during each step of our project. Carlos is professional, responsive, effective, cost efficient, hands-on and very knowledgable about all aspects of his profession. He has advised us well throughout our project, both when we were sure of what we wanted and when we weren't. Our project is still a few months from completion. I would highly recommend Carlos if you're in the market for a high quality arcitect who will introduce you to innovative and cost effective ideas.”

“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.”

“Ritu is an inspired, gifted professional and a pleasure to work with. I moved to a small town far away from my hometown on the East Coast to take a two-year academic job. I hired Ritu to decorate my apartment in a way that would inspire me in my academic work and make me less lonely in a new town. She made my small apartment seem larger by making each area -- the living room, the den, and the bedroom -- into its own thematic space, to suit a particular mood. In the living room, she chose bright colors and varied furnishings, inspired by my favorite colors, red and orange. She found astronomical prints that I had admired as a child to hang on the wall. In the den, she chose a softer, muted palette, turning that space into a contemplative zone where I can work on my research papers. Ritu seemed to intuitively understand what I wanted, and achieved a result that I could not have achieved on my own. I am very grateful for her work! I look forward to the opportunity to hire her for the gut renovation of my apartment in New York, which I plan to do upon my return to New York. I would like to see what she can do for me with a larger "blank slate." Thank you, Ritu!”

“Leo was really professional and extremely helpful all along the project. He also gave me good advice beyond his mandate to help me finish my project when things were not going as smoothly as I wanted.”

“I can count on several fingers the times I have found a local business partner that I'd describe as a rockstar, and Brian Hopkins is on that short list. On Christmas Eve, my wife and I were out doing errands. We got a call from our teenage son, telling us that water was raining down from the upstairs bathroom, through our microwave and stove, into the basement, onto the furnace and water heater. There was some once-in-a-century rapid drop in temperature, we had some poorly insulated pipes, and one of those pipes ruptured in the floor of that second floor bathroom resulting in that disaster. Total nightmare. Thankfully, one of the other rockstars on our short list of local business partners is our general contractor. We already had a plan on the shelf to renovate that bathroom, our contractor was available, we were able to get all our tile and bathroom fixtures picked out and procured in record time, and shortly after New Year's our GC started the repairs and creating the bathroom of our dreams. Salvation! Everything was going awesome, until the building department showed up. In a rush, we neglected to get a building permit. We weren't being shady or playing games. We were just hasty and ignorant and didn't do the things we needed to do. We got an immediate stop-work order. And the only way to get back on track was to find an architect to do proper code-compliant architectal drawings for our already-in-progress bathroom renovation. I quickly learned that there are not a lot of residential architects hurting for business, certainly not at that time of year. I literally called at least 15 different places. Either people were too busy, or weren't interested in the project. I finally found one who couldn't take the job, but said "hey, we know this other guy in the area who is super good, that we refer people to when we're busy. His name is Brian Hopkins." Somebody directing business to a competitor?? I now understand why they referred me. Brian is only the second architect I've ever worked with, but as far as I can tell, he's as good as it gets. I was able to get in touch with him immediately, and he agreed to take on the work. He was incredibly transparent and clear about what he was going to do, when he was going to do it, and what it would cost. Throughout the process he was super responsive, empathetic, organized, patient, professional, and enjoyable to work with. He didn't nickel and dime us or play games; he was clearly focused on good customer service and outcomes. And from what I can tell, both the building department and my GC were very happy with the quality of his work. The entire ordeal we went through, particularly involving the building department and fines and delays was horrible. Had we not found Brian, had he not been so excellent, the situation might have been unbearable. He literally was our savior. It's absurd not to want to work with someone like this.”

“Great architect and designer to work with. Highly recommended when it comes to full gut renovation for homes or apartment as well as medical offices.”

“We had never been homeowners, let alone renovators, before we bought a brownstone in Carroll Gardens, and ACHA was the perfect partner to get us through a daunting process to the home we wanted. Ali helped us figure out and then implement the right plan for us. He was great on the big picture and the detail -- taking the time to learn our style preferences and developing them into options we never would have thought of on our own. He was patient with us and effective at translating our priorities (and financial constraints!) to the contractors. Ali made optimal use of our limited space -- fitting in a powder room on a parlor floor, where it didn't seem one could fit, along with an open living/dining area, and three comfortable bedrooms and two baths on the garden level. And he designed a fabulous deck and got us through the treacherous Department of Building approval process for it! I cannot overstate the unusual combination of aesthetic sophistication and practical know-how ACHA offers.”
