Architects in Frenchtown, NJ

“I am working on an old house remodel and needed a load bearing wall removed to make an open plan kitchen. I was worried that it would be too small a project but Eric responded to the Houzz request for a pro. He listened to my request, gave me a reasonable time line and explained how busy he was but agreed to meet me at the house and talk about my wants. He made some suggestions, explained how he works and what the process would be in order to get drawings to apply for a construction permit to remove the wall. He was professional, friendly and easy to talk to. We are in the process right now, the project is not done but I am so glad Houzz connected me with him.”

“I would highly recommend Frank for any project. He is prompt, thorough and goes through the details that make job great. He is also very honest and has great respect for the budget. I would hire again without any hesitation.”

“I hired Naama Faucett to design a mid-scale 3-story office building. Naama quickly understood the program and its complexity. Working within tight site and demanding schedule, Naama developed a building layout that emphasizes the fluidity from one space to another, enhancing the required interaction between the various departments while marinating a coherent design scheme . Her aesthetics solutions and perspective in bringing light throughout the building and providing indoor-outdoor common spaces were innovative. I mostly enjoyed her attention to details and her capability to visualize the space. The end result is remarkable!”

“We worked with Samantha to design and reconfigure our master suite. From start to finish, Sam was super pleasant to work with, and went above and beyond to insure that we were happy with our project. Sam was a great listener and communicator and incorporated all of our wishes into her design, while introducing us to new innovative ideas. She helped with the selection of all materials, worked seamlessly with our contractor and designer, and gave great attention to detail. Our end result is an amazing master bedroom and bath suite which we are enjoying immensely. I highly recommend Sam and would use her again in the future without hesitation.”

“Cindy was our architect for a tear-down/rebuild of our home. My wife and I found Cindy to be very insightful and creative, offerred us lots of options in design, and never expressed concern or hesitation in drafting or constructing some complicated elements we wanted in the home. She brought knowledge, experience and enthusiasm, but most of all comfort to a project which could otherwise have been a stressfull experience. Without question, we would hire Cindy again in the future without the need to go to bid.”

“We have worked with Andrew for many years as an industry partner. Over the years, these projects included many kitchen and bathroom renovations to complete home renovations. Additionally projects included new construction in both the residential and commercial spaces. Once you meet Andrew, you will instantly see his passion and get a feel for his unique vision. He has the ability to create unique and stylish designs while embracing any challenge.”

“I have had a very pleasant and yet enriching experience with Liesl in renovating an older pre-war apt. She is a very talented and artistic person and when you hear her creative ideas as you get to know her, you can understand how she has won awards. In addition to this, she is very easy to talk to and does not push herself on you in any way. Her varied and in depth experience and education affords her an ability to take on projects at any level and most styles with great success. She presents alternatives to you and lets you lead if you choose to but will take charge if so desired. This is an unusual ability in a well trained architect and it makes her a special find. Liesl took out an entire wall and opened the space in amazing ways in my apartment . She is very tasteful and yet is quite creative and can do unusual things in the use of space. Her taste is elegant and refined with a touch of lyricism. My experience was pleasant and fun and yet exciting with new ideas. I love what she has done with my apartment. It is a total metamorphosis from a stodgy older apt in good taste to a new open, light, and breathtakingly beautiful space . It is basically a modern space but we have included antiques and she can do the combining of modern with older periods which is very difficult to do well and smoothly. Liesl has expertise in the use of light and glass. She is great with color. She is modest and a gem to work with. I recommend her highly.”

“My business partner and I just graduated college, we are both 22 and 24 years old. We decided to open a Wine Shop and chose a location in Morristown NJ that was new construction. We shopped around for many architects and Hiland was the most trustful one out of them all. He really beleives in our business and had his team in Bernardsville really get to know us and become very personable. Being that we are young and this is all new to us many people would take advantage, not Hiland and his team if anything they stopped and explained everything to me so I understood what I was doing. There are not many honest companies out there that will do this! On top of that we threw Hiland's firm in the mix when we were in a slight rush to get things done, they really impressed me on how efficient and timely everything got done! If you want to work with a friendly staff and a trustful company I would not think twice about using Hiland Hall Turner Architects! Cambridge Wines is very thankful of a company like this!”

“My husband and I were lucky to find Balestri Architects during our search for an architect to fully renovate our run down loft in Tribeca, NYC, a number of years ago. Carlo supported our project, not only through ideation and design, but through the bidding process, helping select a contractor, working closely with the chosen contractor during construction and being very present on the site until every last detail on the punch list was fixed, perfect and permits closed/received. We feel like we received the services expected from a large firm but with the intimacy and knowledge of everyone on our project that one gets from a small, young and agile firm. From beginning to end Carlo was professional, hard working, and impressively detail oriented. He was our advocate; he honored our budget limits and pushed us when needed. We were continually impressed with his knowledge of the sometimes frustrating and long process needed to be followed in NYC; permits, codes, DOB processes, and even helping with the internal approvals required within our small but challenging coop board (which was our entire building as there were only 4 owners). We were even more impressed and excited by the creativity of the design. Carlo managed to meet all of our needs as well as desires while maintaining equal focus and energy on the less glamorous but equally important details like lighting, electrical work, etc. What we hadn’t anticipated was his invaluable input on the interior design elements, and the impressive amount of time he spent with us looking at tiles, stone, fixtures and so much more. We have since moved to a very old home in Westchester NY that required a lot of work. We have used Balestri Architects again for a number of projects. We worked through an entire 'Master Plan', and have to date, moved ahead on 1st floor work. We are almost done with the project which includes structural work, brand new kitchen, entry way, powder room and more. Again, we are very happy with every aspect of the project and Balestri Architects has proven to be able to work with our modern loft space as well as an old 1870's barn. Photos can be found by searching for Laight Street and Fargo Lane. We recommend Balestri Architects to anyone and everyone who asks.”

“I have been working with Peter and Andrew for over 15 years. The result has been many great projects built thru great partnerships between Owner, Builder, Architect, and in my case, Kitchen Designer. They are a firm who establishes relationship that endure. Their imaginative vision combined with an old-school hands-on presence in the field amongst their most appealing qualities. We are presently engaged in a very ambitious project with other excellent partners, and I expect we'll do many more over the coming years. It is a distinct pleasure when their name appears in my e-mail box or phone dialer.”
