“Jim is a fabulous architect who is attentive to details with a great eye for scale and proportion. he can make ordinary become extraordinary. i recommend him.”

“Eric Baker recently served as architect on a very challenging repair project to our hurricane damaged home. Despite the difficult circumstances, he made us feel at ease from the beginning, and was a calming influence through every step of the project. We were very satisfied with the design and the finished product, but equally important, I want to emphasize that Mr. Baker was professional, trustworthy, honest, reliable, and listened closely to our requirements. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking excellent architectural work.”

“We hired Dan and his company to do a renovation on our 1836 era home. They designed an open kitchen floorplan, added a stone fireplace, a butler's pantry, and office, and reconfigured our back entry and laundry room. They also added another bathroom upstairs and extended our patio outside. I loved that he reused original materials and also sourced beams, etc. that matched the home. (They found an original floor beam that was not in good enough shape to continue support, so they replaced this and he suggested using the good part of this beam as our new mantle. It looks great and I love using an original beam in a prominent place in the new room.) The design gave us an updated and more efficient way to use our old house, while keeping with the traditional look and feel. We also really liked the way Dan charged for his services. Instead of a percentage of the total job - which creates the incentive for the architect to increase the size of the job, Dan charged by the hour of his time. We could call him at any point in the job to come oversee the contractor or consult. And were always happy with his involvement. We felt that he and his firm were a great value.”

“We hired Don on the recommendation of a neighbor for a major renovation of our 1919 Craftsman style bungalow into a much larger house and could not have been happier. We appreciated Don's calm, pleasant demeanor, exceptional professionalism and attention to detail. Our builder told us Don's plans were among the most detailed and flawless he's ever received; an element that made the construction process seamless. Although he's certainly worked on bigger budget builds, Don was respectful of our desire to create a "dream home" --not a McMansion--that fit into the overall landscape of our neighborhood and didn't overwhelm our property or budget. Still, he managed to create plans for an addition that incorporated many of our wants and desires yet was respectful of its vintage pedigree. We love our "new" home and would hire Don again in a heartbeat.”

“I recently worked on a project with Tasos. His concept for the project was unique and exceptionally creative. And the attention lavished on every facet of the design insured that the execution of the plans would result in an outstanding completed project. He personifies the essence of the Charles Eames quote: “The details are not the details. They make the design.” Tasos welcomed input and created a spirit of respect and cooperation on the job site that brought out the best from each craftsman on the project. He made us all look good! And, most importantly, the client was delighted!!! I look forward to working with Tasos again.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Steven Affelt on a New Green build in Islip ,Long Island. Steven was the project manager for the team. The professionalism, experience and communication with Steven was second to none. He managed our clients expectations, gave guidance to the GC. Stevens greatest talent was his willingness to problems solve with the team. I recommend Steven to any company, private client or builder to help assist in any project.Steven manages the key players, trades and clients expectations, budget and timeframe. His skills are a vital component to a successful project.”

“We hired Tanner to design our home renovation, which included expansion and complete overhaul of kitchen & mudroom, master suite and 3 bathrooms. He was an amazing resource for my husband and I, not only with architectural design but also with choosing finishes - everything from counter tops, fixtures, tile, lighting, down to paint colors. He worked within our budget and was there for us every step of the way. We would highly recommend Tanner for another project.”

“Working with Busch Associates made my kitchen/family room renovation a relatively stress free experience. Dave's knowledge, sense of style and easy going personality made him so easy to work with. I couldn't recommend him anymore highly.”

“I have known Anthony Musso for over 28 years. He is one of the finest residential architects on Long Island. Throughout his career he has been able to design quality residences that combine extremely functional and livable floor plans and spaces with highly attractive exterior and interior design. More recently, Tony (as he is called) has become very effectively "green." He is LEED certified and now specializes in residences that are still functional and beautiful, but now have the added advantage of being extremely energy efficient and respectful of the natural characteristics of the site. My most recent interaction with Tony has been in the design and construction of my daughter's house in Port Washington, LI. In addition to an excellent floor plan and an exterior that harmonizes beautifully with the older houses of its neighborhood, it is a marvel of energy efficiency. It maintains comfortable temperatures year-round with a vanishingly small energy budget - in usage of both electricity and natural gas. Peter D. Salins”

“Laura Kaehler is a gifted architect, who specializes in residential design of unique and custom homes. She listens to her clients’ needs and preferences, interprets these needs, and then transforms them into beautiful and comfortable homes. Her attention to detail is the key to making a home special. Laura does not have a “signature style”. She deliberately allows her clients’ tastes and desires to direct the course of her design. Laura has designed several projects for me in the past, including a 2000 square foot addition, a master bedroom suite, a complete kitchen renovation, two new homes built for spec and currently still in progress is a partial kitchen renovation. She is my go to person when I feel the need to make a home improvement. Laura enjoys her craft and it shows.”
