"Tommy Lee did an amazing job in designing and executing our new addition to our home last year. This included a new kitchen, bathroom and deck. We have an old but beautiful center-hall colonial home in Maplewood, NJ and he was able to keep the aesthetic while giving a very sharp, modern clean new space. My family is so happy with the results, no regrets. Tommy Lee was easy to work with, flexible and always accessible. I highly recommend him for any home project needing an architect, big or small."

"The project was handled very professionally from start to finish. Communication from the company was always timely and clear. Alan’s attention to detail made for a great outcome. In addition to the retaining wall, Alan spruced up the old gravel walkways in front of the new wall. We are thrilled with the result and recommend Alan and Landmark Design Landscaping without reservation."

"The project pricing was inline with the other bids, but they listened to what i was wanting done, explained what they were going to do exactly, did what they said, with the highest quality work. They were on time and completed the work quicker than they originally planned. If anyone needs drainage/run-off problems in their yard addressed I would highly recommend they consider Vert Life. Above what they promised they'd do, they reseeded, fertilized and spread straw over the areas where they had dug. Excellent work quality and great communication. They'd be tough to beat and they offer other lawn and garden services as well. I expect to use them again in the future."

Architects questions, answered by experts

When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.

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.

Your state’s architect licensing registry is an excellent place to begin when finding an architect. The state must license architects after completing the required education and with a minimum amount of experience. You can also ask other homeowners with similar projects who they used and their experience.

Stone, marble, and brick are common building materials of Neoclassical architecture, though you will also find wood flooring and a range of natural stone tiles. Since several home styles fall under Neoclassical architects' umbrella, a range of building materials—including traditional wood framing—will make an appearance.

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design.
