we need an architect

someone willing to do things on a budget, not one of these million dollar gut types, though I know it will cost real money. our brownstone is stripped of many details but I have no interest in modern look. we are creative but not fancy. bones and structure are more important than finishes... want someone creative, good communicator. we are looking to: renovate three kitchens, two baths, re-do bedroom floor plan, and add new windows, electrical, plumbing...want to keep our lovely plaster walls! any recommendations?

    In addition to the architects who will (likely) offer their services I also have a number of architects who I work with and happily recommend to you. Keep in mind that you will get the best results if you're up-front about your construction budget.

    I'm doing something similar right now - 3 floor-through units being renovated on a budget.  (tight enough that i can't replace the 1980s windows yet).  New systems throughout, but I'm keeping original details where possible (window surrounds, the better parquet flooring, etc) and going for simple & clean everywhere else.  My architect (www.bparc.com) has worked around my main constraint -- the almost unreasonably tight budget -- and still been creative enough to arrive at the layouts & scope i was looking for.

    Hi Slopegirl, I will add our firm to the list of interested architects.  We are very comfortable working with limited budgets, and our award-winning projects always look much more expensive than they really are.  We also specialize in brownstone renovations using sustainable and non-toxic materials and methods.
     
    I am happy to do a complimentary walkthrough with you to give you a cost of work budget estimate.  Please contact me at the coordinates below and I can also provide you with a list of references from our many satisfied clients.
