James Hricko Architect LLC

Jim and I have collaborated on three projects in the last year and it has been a fine experience. The architect/builder relationship has a notorious reputation in our industry, but I find working with Jim and his team beneficial to my company and ultimately to the client as well. The final product is better and the process is more efficient working with Jim.

I have worked with Jim on multiple projects, and continue to seek his assistance when planning and design services are required. As a building professional with more than twenty years in the business, I truly appreciate Jim's keen attention to detail, and his pleasing sense of style. I never hesitate to recommend his services to clients seeking a design professional.

Mr. Hricko designed and developed the basement in our home above and beyond our vision and expectations, to include a tiered movie room, a Roman-style spa bath, a library and great party room and bar. We conveyed our dream to Jim and he was able to transform the space into a magical living area that we will enjoy with our family and friends for many, many years. He is a very talented architect and interior designer.

Jim has completed two projects for us in the historical districts of Clifton, VA and more recently Washington, VA. He had a quick understanding of the attributes and needs we wanted in our home and of the requirements set forth in the architectural review board guidelines and was able to draft a design that met and exceeded those requirements. Prior to finalizing a plan, he visited the homesite in Washington on several occasions to ensure proper placement on our lot to maximize the mountain view from multiple angles. Once the building process began, he was diligent to inspect the work to ensure adherence to the drawings, identifying significant and timely issues that required immediate remediation. Due to Jim's talent, skill, and attention to details, we have a unique and beautiful home that blends into the landscape and architecture of our historical town, yet brings second looks from those who pass by! We highly recommend him to those who are looking for an architect to design their dream home.

We wanted to retain an architect who could understand our vision for our project and gently advise us. Jim is easy to work with and his sense of proportion and his good taste blended an upper level addition into our existing home. We saw several of Jim's completed projects and really liked all of them . So we felt confident that he could help us. We are very near completion of construction and we are very happy with the natural lighting, built ins, flow, storage and the efficient use of space. We are glad we hired Jim.
