Discussion about
We're starting to look around for architects, most likely for a job like expanding a kitchen, re-working closet space/hallways, and the like (in other words, not a full gut reno). If possible, we'd like someone who specializes in prewar detailing (we're not interested in ultra-modern design). I'd greatly appreciate any and all suggestions, especially from those who've worked directly with someone they like and can recommend Thanks very much!

Hi bramstar.

I can reccomend - Design by Francois - www.francoistenenbaum.com

He is a designer but works with an architect when needed.

Good luck with your renovation.

Hello bramstar I recommend www.nodenyc.com they are architect and engineers that helped me with several projects from gut reno on uws to adding another floor on a building and also minor bathroom n kitchen works. What I loved was how they were able to maximise the space and make the floorplan better than what I imagined.

Bramstar,

I am a general contractor, thought I should be up front with that.

I have worked with many architects and designers and would be happy to recommend them. You can email me and I can give you several if you would like.

some of their work is on my website www.primerenovationsnyc.com

A lot of it is modern but they do all types of renovations

I have not worked with Ann Macklin but I am working with a designer right now who uses her all the time and days very good things about her.
