"So I was caught in a bind.  My project was stopped by the village since my contractors were working without a permit.  Not knowing where else to go, I looked on Angie's list and found Lou at Tiderunner Engineering.  I explained to him my situation, and he was very understanding as I told him we had an architect that for some reason just stopped returning our calls, etc, and that I needed a set of floor plans to get the permit.  He came over the next day, and did a set of floor plans, with some structural changes as we knocked down a wall, and also was looking to adjust the beam structure in the kitchen.  Lou suggested using LVL headers, both flush and drop headers to support the structure of the house and prevent sagging.  If it wasn't for Lou, my contractors would have just left the work they were doing without the proper support, so thanks Lou!

After it was submitted, the building inspector, came back with a bunch of changes, and Lou explained to me that she was looking for a full set of construction plans.  This took me by surprise, but Lou was very accommodating.  He made the changes per the inspectors request, and the plans were finally approved and I could have my house renovated. Yaay!  If it wasn't for Lou, I don't know if another architect would have been as accommodating and have the same attention to detail that Lou did.

In addition to this work, we were looking to redo our driveway, and he was able to create a set of driveway plans, including structural support, drywells, piping, all in accordance to our village code.  We plan on undertaking that project in the next few months but I'm happy with how the plans came out, and look forward to the finished result."

High end architect specializing in making a house feel like home!\nI make people’s dream homes a reality.

With my NCARB certificate I am able, if necessary, to obtain reciprocal licensure throughout the country in a short time period. \n\nI am inspired by our local built environment, humble materials, classical building forms and traditional building details. I have a strong interest in the reinterpretation of classical building forms, blended with contemporary open floor plans. \nI have a stronger interest in helping to guide my clients to ways of improving the quality of their lives through adapting the built environment to meet their needs.

"Our experience with Preservation Design Group was first rate all the way. From start to finish, the architect was responsive, attentive, creative and professional. We were impressed by Dan Koplowitz's attention to detail and willingness to listen to what we wanted to achieve with the project, which added over 1500 square feet, relocated bathrooms and renovated and enlarged the kitchen. Dan worked diligently to meld the exisiting house with the new and provided plans that our town approved without requiring modifications and the building dept. is quite strict. The builder Dan recommended was excellent and they worked well as a team."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.

The most idyllic building material that encapsulates the feel of Federal architecture is a brick facade, often with bricks alternating between long side and short side. Palladium and arched transom windows are also prevalent, as are flat, white window lintels. More ornate Federal architecture buildings also include columns on either side of the front door. More important than most of the finer details, though, is the symmetry from the exterior. On the interior, ornate plaster moldings and plaster ceiling medallions are indicative of the style.

Hire an architect at the very beginning of your home-building process. An architect’s training and expertise can guide the process from start to finish to ensure you don’t miss or have to redo any important steps. An architect will also provide valuable input on design, materials, and other details right from the beginning.
