Sustainable Design Professionals in Oakville, CT

“I have worked with Peter Coffin of Doyle Coffin Architecture on a number of occasions both as a client (for my own homes) and as a design partner (for our mutual clients). The quality and beauty of Peter's work is undisputable but what I appreciate the most is the quality of the design process - anticipation and understanding of clients' needs, timeliness of delivery and communication skills. Doyle Coffin Architecture is a great asset when dealing with zoning issues and when finding creative solutions to design problems is a must. Peter's team is highly professional and responsive and I am looking forward to my next project with the firm.”

“Dave is a highly skilled architect with a deep knowledge of the style and structure of the building(s) he is asked to design and draft. Dave is easy to work with and has a keen sensitivity for his clients' tastes. He spends considerable time listening and understanding the "wants" of his clients and balancing the practicality and realistic options for construction. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone interested in designing and building a "house of one's dreams". You will not regret the time and effort he contributes to your project.”

“Working with Jimmy Crisp and his associates was a great and valuable learning experience that could not have turned out better than it did. Jimmy truly met, and in many instances, went beyond our expectations. The project, which was a complete gut renovation, went very smoothly and it did come in on budget with the exception of new items that were included after our original quote. Of course there were differences of opinions and long discussions about changes/desired outcomes and new costs, however, I would say that because of Jimmy's constant presence at the site, complete knowledge of exactly what was suppose to happen at all stages of the project and calm manner we escaped situations that could, at the time, have been less satisfactory. Jimmy, the associates and clerical employees of his firm are all a 10 in my book! My experience with Crisp Architects makes me believe that anyone seeking a great architect, backed by a most professional staff, could not do better than to choose Crisp Architects.”

“Without Jack my house would never have been built. We needed to tuck this little house into a narrow urban lot in a Historic District and make it look like it was always there. We survived 7! public hearings with heavy revision. Jack remained true to my original vision while accommodating the requirements of many other visions of what my house needed to be. His price was fair, his manner engaging and open. My house won an award and i gained a valued friend. He and and his staff are the best architectural firm ever.”

“Caren is a true professional I have used her services on a number of occasions, residential as well as commercial .I find her to be fare in pricing,her work has always been complete and on schedule”

“Joe Buchek worked with us to create the design of our dreams for a re-do of our first floor. He offered several options and we ended up with a terrific renovation. We highly recommend him.”

“I engaged Newick Architects to design the renovation and reconstruction of my home. I believe it was a very good client/architect relationship. Additionally, we partnered with a contractor of my choice and it became a fruitful 3-way collaboration. (In fact, the architect and contractor have worked together on numerous projects subsequent to my introduction.) I researched over 60 architects before selecting Newick Architects, and did so because I believed we shared an aesthetic sensibility, which was borne out by the project's successful fruition.”

“John Sliva is a trustworthy professional! His work ethic, and attention to design and detail is outstanding. I love the work he did in our home. If you are looking for someone with excellent design vision, and someone to carry out beautiful, detailed work, John is the designer for you. I highly recommend him!”

“We have worked with Michael Raso and with his firm Dvisionone Architects on many different projects in two homes over the past 18 years. Each time we have been impressed with Michael's attention to detail and sensitivity toward our needs and design requests. He follows every project from beginning to end and is always available should questions arise. Although we are just now wrapping up a major addition to our home, we are already looking forward to future collaborations with him.”

“I worked with Aurora on a full-scale condo renovation in Manhattan in the fall of 2018 until spring 2019. She was both the architect, as well as the interior designer for the project. Before even getting to know her, I was initially impressed with the renderings she put together as part of the real estate sales listing. This offered me, as buyer, the opportunity to envision the potential for this unit. Without her renderings, quite candidly, I'm not sure I would have been as eager a buyer, which goes to show how impactful her design aesthetic and vision was. While working with her on the project itself, I found Aurora to be: extremely detail-oriented, engaging, responsive, and reliable. Her design aesthetic speaks for itself, but beyond her architectural and design skills, she was a delight to work with from a client perspective. She is adaptive to feedback and seeks tirelessly to craft the right combination of fixtures, finishes, colors, textures, etc., in order to bring all elements together in a coordinated fashion. She is also attentive to budget, and will work with the client on meeting design goals at various price points. I would highly recommend Aurora to anyone seeking her architectural and / or design services. The love and pride I feel for my new home is a direct testament to her vision and her hard-work to accomplish it.”
