"When I moved into my home, I knew I needed help with everything from organizing and decorating to selecting paint colors and creating a space that felt cohesive and welcoming. What I didn’t expect was how much of an impact Abigail would have on my family’s life. She has an incredible eye for design and organization, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to transform a house into a home. She listened carefully to what was important to me, worked within my style, and helped create spaces that are both beautiful and functional for my family. Throughout the entire process, she was professional, patient, creative, and genuinely invested in helping us create a home we love. Her talent is remarkable, but she’s also simply a wonderful person to work with. I am incredibly grateful for everything she has done and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone to help organize, decorate, redesign, or bring new life to your home, you will be in excellent hands."

"Luis was great. He was professional from the start. We were planning a major addition to our home with a remodel and restructure of existing surrounding areas. He listened to our needs and captured what we were looking for while still providing his own artistic flair on the project. He provided in my case two different design layouts which really helped us visualize the project to help us finalize down to final drawing. Entire time, he kept under consideration our budget. I would definetly use him again plan to do so for kitchen remodel we plan for next year."

"Roger is a gentleman and a professional of the highest caliber. My wife and I are building a home in North Stonington, CT and hired a virtual architect 2 years ago to design our home. After $5,000, and 3 months, we were left with what felt like an intern-level deliverable. We swore that the next time we used professional services, we would find someone who had experience in the industry, knowledge of the area, and the passion for building a young families dream home, not just processing work. We found all of those things in Roger and could not be happier with his work or his kindness as a person. I am now in the budgeting phase and am sending out Rogers drawings for contractors to quote, and the first thing every one of them says is I have not heard of this Greenwald guy but he does damn good work. It inspires my wife and I to know that we were in such capable hands."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.

Aging-in-place universal design features can make your home more comfortable for family members who are older or have disabilities; they can also make your home safer. In addition, adding a universal-design bathroom can boost your home’s overall resale value.

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
