Looking for an architect with traditional taste

Hi, we are looking for an architect to help with a Clinton Hill brownstone renovation. We’ve met with many who do beautiful work. But it is often super-modern, a bit cold and somewhat cookiecutter for our taste. Has anyone had a good experience with an architect whose taste is more traditional — ie, in keeping with the existing aesthetic of a 100 year old brownstone? I hope that all makes sense. Thanks a lot!

I would recommend Linda Yowell. She and her team did a great job on the renovation of our brownstone. See https://www.yowellarch.com/portfolio/brooklyn-townhouse

My husband and I are currently in renovation on our home and use Benjamin Andres. He is wonderful and really listens to our ideas on how best to keep the house traditional, but true to its 1920s roots. Highly recommend.
