I’m looking for a talented/cool/young architect for a one family residential house new construction. The person/firm should be experienced and motivated by “green” building. The lot has a very unique location overlooking the beach and Atlantic ocean.

Does anyone have any good recommendations? Also, what is a rough cost estimate for complete architectural plans and filings for a project of this nature?

Thanks!

  2. I am a young architect who has recently launched my own practice after working for 10 years on high-end residential and commercial projects at several prestigious Manhattan firms.

    I am in construction on a sizeable Upper East Side apartment renovation, and I am looking to start a new project in the coming months. My firm is small, but competitive and efficient.

    If you are still looking for an architect for your project, please feel free to send me an email: CBalestri@BalestriArch.com.

  3. Hello! I am a newly licensed but experienced residential architect. I will send you a link to my website should you be interested.

    Advantages of using me: I’m newly licensed and therefore less expensive than the usual Architect. I have virtually no overhead. I have over 10 years of strictly High End Residential experience. I have an extensive list of quality contacts for expediting, engineering and contractors. I have a good relationship with all of my former clients and employers.

    I love what I do, and I’m good at it.

  4. I have just used Curtiss Venn on a full house in Clinton Hill . we worked on it using restored items and salvage .

    Fantastic – he also works with a great young very professional experienced contractor and it has been exceptional

  9. In that case, I’m a crank.

    I really do like modern houses, I really do. Especially expensive ones. I just don’t see the point in trying to turn an old house into something it is not. They are beautiful the way they are, and modern proportions don’t work in old townhouses.

    How many completely cookie cutter renovations have you seen where someone — probably with not quite enough money — tried to turn an old townhouse into a downtown loft? The old detail was stripped out, the space was “opened up,” the finishes aren’t high end, the walls just look like they were hacked into, and you have an airplane hanger of a space that is not innovative, attractive, comfortable, nor better in quality than what was there in the first place.

    For that matter, it’s equally ridiculous when people try to turn a modern ranch house into a brownstone.

    There seems to be a terrible disconnect these days between the values of builders, architects, and house buyers. They seem to be always in conflict.
