We are a reputable architectural design company that specializes in the design of unique homes and major additions. Thinking of retirement and want to downsize? You should check out our Patio Homes. Just starting out and need a starter home that expands easily? You should check out our Hybrid House Concept by visiting our web site at pappasarchitects.net. We take pride in our ability to exceed expectations in all aspects of business. We look forward to building long-term relationships with our clients and guarantee your satisfaction. I am a semi-retired architect who has designed some of the largest project in the area. I now want to help people who could not afford my services in the past. I have developed a method of working that avoids the high overhead costs of the main office if you are dealing with a residential project. If you can give me your Site or Existing Structure information along with your list of requirements, I will send you a preliminary concept in sketch form.

We provide architectural, structural, and mechanical engineering services, utilizing over 30 years of experience in technical design, construction management, and design build services. We "listen" to our clients and solve and implement creative designs based on their needs. Kesselman Architectural Design, LLC services all of PA, NY, and MD. Typically, a set of construction documents requires only one on-site visit to gather on-site environmental and existing building conditions. We find communication on most projects, whether local or distant, is usually completed via phone and internet. There exists a triad between 3 major project aspects as quality, time and cost. A successful project requires a balance of the three. A well detailed set of construction documents will allow contractors to bid on the same "scope of work," competitively, thereby saving time and money. Our documents solve thousands of questions and become the basis of a solid legal contract.

"I got lucky. I found Lynn on a website and he was the only one with all 5 stars...now I know why! He was so wonderful to work with; knowledgable, responsive, and patient as they come. He worked within my budgetary requirements and even recommended a builder that I decided to work with. I cannot say enough great things about Lynn and highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best architect! If I could give him 10 stars, I would!"

I'm a fully insured Professional Engineer (PE) in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, and Idaho with over 13 years of AutoCad and engineering experience. I have a knack for turning client's visions from ideas in their mind to construction drawings, ready for fabrication. I often work with clients who required stamped engineering drawings and assistance navigating the permitting process for their project. My specialty is residential and light commercial construction engineering which includes anything from new house design to additions on existing homes; complete floor plans with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing details; beam and column sizing; and even deck, patio, and retaining wall design. If this doesn't fit your project, there is a very good chance I could still be a great fit for you, as I always enjoy adding new and unique projects to my portfolio. If you're looking for an engineer for your next exciting project, please reach out to me at 724.799.1420. I'll be happy to help get the ball rolling.
