David Estreich Architects

I am an interior designer who has participated in several projects with Brian Blackburn.It is a wonderful flow of ideas.He is open to suggestions and his ideas are wonderful and always gives me plenty to work from.He is responsive and generous with his time. Our client has always been satisfied with the results!

Our company, Lampworks, has produced custom lighting for many of David Estreich's and Brian Blackburn's projects. They are the ultimate professionals, and are a pleasure to work with as they know exactly what their client's require. That makes our job easy!

My husband and I hired Brian Blackburn as a result of a recommendation from our realtor. Brian helped us remodel our two bedroom apartment on the upper west side. We live in California, so we had to rely on Brian to oversee the project while we were (mostly) away. He was great from beginning to end: meticulous about details, good designer instincts, knew when to let me make choices and when his advice was needed, and just very pleasant to work with. Our apartment went from falling apart to spectacular! We love it!

I've worked with David Estreich Architects for many years. Their work is impeccable, and the attention to detail is extraordinary. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any client. Also Brian is a joy to work with!

David and Brian (from David Estreich Architects) are amazing. Their taste is exquisite, but as importantly, they are fantastic listeners. Unlike some architects I have worked with, David and Brian are patient and do not try to push their own vision instead of yours. We heard about David Estreich from good friends who were very happy, and we have also told others about them. They are budget conscious and realistic and practical. I would highly recommend David Estreich Architects!

Worked with them on a large scale townhouse. Brian and David were thoughtful, professional, and worked in a timely manner. Very friendly and without ego.

I hired David Estreich Architects to completely renovate my apartment on the East side of Manhattan, and could not be more pleased with the results. They listened carefully to my needs and wishes and devised thoughtful and creative solutions that were then transformed into a beautiful and meticulously detailed new home. They were great to work with and made the entire process both fun and fulfilling. David Estreich Architects earned my highest accolades and strongest recommendation.

J.F. Roesemann Builders is nearing completion of our first collaboration with David Estreich Architects. The gut renovation of a Park Avenue lobby includes many carefully detailed finishes and efficient systems that ensure the comfort of tenants and the streamlined management of a busy residential building. New security systems, energy efficient entry door, and an HVAC system are among these additions. The new limestone wall panels, exterior facade, interior millwork details, and modern LED lighting create a comfortable space for the residents. David Estreich Architects has created a balanced workspace throughout this project where the client, architect, designer, and contractor work together to create the vision of the design team and surpass the needs of the residential building. Their attention and vision of the whole building process transposes the demands and vision of the client while respecting and understanding construction. The ease of communication with Brian and David allow for this collaboration to be successful. They are always quick to respond personally with phone call or email, something that sets them apart from many New York City architectural firms. We hope this is the first of many collaborations between J.F. Roesemann Builders and David Estreich Architects.

As a Kitchen and Bath Designer in NYC (Intelligent Kitchen), I've had the pleasure of working with David Estreich Architects on multiple projects. I have specifically worked with Brian Blackburn on these jobs and can't say enough about him or this firm. It's so important to have all the pieces of the project in order and running smoothly and that's what happens when you work with Brian. Not only is he just an easy person to work with, he's very involved from the beginning to the end and very much cares about each job. I always look forward to working with him and clients love him. If you are looking for an architect for your project I happily and highly recommend David Estreich Architects!

Vanco Construction Inc. and David Estreich Architects have been working together for over 20 years. Many of the projects have included unique styles and designs of custom high end homes in the desirable Short Hills and Summit areas of New Jersey. David and Brian are extremely talented and bring a paramount vision of architecture to each project. We are confident that as our future clientele develop, that we will be working again with David Estreich Architects.

Having worked for a number of renowned architects throughout my career, I believe David Estreich Architects is by far the most talented and creative of all. Their complete and thorough understanding of the foundations of architecture and design, and the marriage of these disciplines, rises to the top. An ability to create a vision and evolving follow through with those insights from two dimensions to three-dimensional is astonishing. From idea to master plan to reality, they develop both beautiful and livable solutions for the 21st century. In essence, they problem solve, looking at each space as part of the whole. Rooms flow from and within each area. Estreich creates residential and commercial spaces that make one feel good. Like a bespoke suit, their homes perfectly fit their customer’s interests and preferences. They carefully LISTEN to their client’s wish list and then mold those desires into a well-conceived whole. There is an explicit sense of collaborative teamwork between architect and client, creating a comprehensive totality of form and function, elegance and style, timeless and classic. Attention to detail and quality craftsmanship is a mainstay of their work. Working from the outside in, their designs evolve into a symphony of sculpted walls and well-illuminated spaces. From ground-up building to gut renovations, their work is exemplary. I highly recommend them
