"I first started working with Gary in 2016. We had planned to build an extension above our foyer. Fast forward to November 2020, when we were finally ready to start building the addition...I contacted Gary - out of the blue, and we have been working together again since. His customer service and flexibility has been exceptional! For example, contractor suggested a few changes to his plans, so we discussed those, brainstormed and tried to find what would work best for our apartment. We really picked up where we left off 4 years ago, and Gary was able to help and provide guidance for our project. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of an architect."

"

I came across Mark Michaels and Great Designs by doing a Google search for Stony Brook Architects.  I viewed his web site and looked at the work he had done for other clients.. I was impressed so I contacted him via email with my details and received a phone call back from him later that same day.  We discussed how my wife and I had recently purchased this house and wanted to make some changes to it.  The house is on a nice parcel of land with a water views and beautiful sunsets, however it is quite unique and a bit eclectic.   The house also posed zoning difficulties as it is situated against the back of an oddly shaped lot.  Our objective was to add a first floor master bedroom and bath without losing any of the existing water views.

My wife and I met with Mark and showed him the house.  He shared his initial thoughts and observations and we agreed to take the next step.  Mark prepared a proposal for his services which we thought were quite reasonable.  We agreed to move forward. 

Mark made several visits to the house, took measurements and made notes.  He even video taped the house.  The house has two levels but the layout is one of a kind.  There are many nooks, odd shaped rooms and changing elevations.  Mark took all this information and somehow entered it perfectly into his architectural software.  He then used these tools to illustrate how the planned addition would look and its impact on the entire home.  We were able to do a virtual tour of the inside and outside of the proposed structure.  We quickly became comfortable with the design and moved to the next stage.

Mark prepared extensive building documents which we used to get contractor bids.  I also was able to walk into the building department and leave with a building permit on the first visit.  We hired a contractor and the project progressed smoothly.  Mark made frequent visits to the site and really took ownership of his work.  Several of the tradesmen commented to me how impressed they were with his passion for the project, his attention to detail and the integrity of his design.   

Well, as of this writing the project is well on its way to completion.  It has been a positive experience. My wife and I highly recommend you give Great Designs a look.

"John is great to work with. Very responsive and professional. We're still working with him for our renovation we had to delay by a year due to timing issues. He's reassured us that he will continue to work with us on whatever we need when getting permits. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an architect. He listens to what you want and also offers great ideas and alternatives."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Greek Revival and Federal architecture are quite similar in that they focus on symmetry and a blend of utilitarianism and opulence, but they differ in a few key areas. First, Federal architecture tends to include a brick facade, whereas Greek Revival homes more often have stucco siding, much like you’d find in Mediterranean houses. Greek Revival homes also tend to be a bit more ornate, with columns as decor, and more decorative and formal porticos.

Some architects include interior design in their portfolio of offerings, while some architectural firms employ interior designers to handle that aspect of home building projects or refer clients to interior designers they’ve worked with in the past. Ask a local architect whether they offer interior design services as well.

Architects bring expertise in spatial design, efficiency, aesthetics, and safety, translating complex needs into feasible, regulatory-compliant design plans.

Architects often oversee project management to ensure design adherence, coordinate with contractors, and address onsite challenges.

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.
