OUR PHILOSOPHY

Abby Schwartz Associates feels passionately that the most successful designs emerge when architecture and interior design are considered simultaneously, providing a truly integrated solution.

Above all, Abby Schwartz Associates believes in the importance of a comprehensive approach to architecture and design.  While clients' visions, goals and budget are at the core of each project, the professionals at Abby Schwartz Associates are also acutely aware of the broader perspective.  The exploratory design process accounts for the myriad factors that affect all clients and their projects: aesthetics and image, budget and maintenance, resale, growth, and change.

This unique holistic approach to design promotes an evaluation of customer priorities, probes deeply into clients' needs and core values, and identifies hidden concerns. The result: a carefully crafted, budget sensitive, thoughtful, and balanced design.

As a residential builder, I have had the opportunity to work with several different architectural firms. Without exception, ASA is lightyears above anyone else. They are extremely creative in the initial design and work well within reasonable budgets. When unknown conditions arise on site (like any construction project) they respond expeditiously with whatever information the client and/or builder needs to resolve the situation.

When it came time to remodel my own home, there was no hesitation in engaging Abby and her team for a very extensive full house remodel with an added 2 story addition. We have since engaged her for other smaller projects on our house (such as an exterior facelift). Without reservation I can fully endorse and recommend Abby and her team for any remodeling or new construction project.

Abby and her entire team at ASA are fantastic. We gutted and restored a 200 year old barn, and it was ASA’s vision that turned a run down barn into our forever home. We interviewed multiple architects, but were floored with ASA’s thorough and professional estimate, interview and vision for our home. They thought of everything—especially the things we didn’t consider and made the process easy. They listened to our lofty ideas and found a way to make them into our reality. We cannot thank them enough and can’t wait to work with them again on the next project.

From the very first meeting until the walk through roughly one year after our very first meeting, Abby Schwartz and her team provided the most comprehensive and professional service that anyone could desire. She was honest, thorough, enthusiastic and obviously among the best in the region. Her entire team guided us through a very complex 5 month project of renovation. Our home now truly has a wow factor. She supplied us with many possible contractors to do the work and clearly each was most competent. We were accompanied to each of our trips to purchase tile, lighting, flooring, and cabinetry. the work performed was A+++ and it was nice to know that Abby and her company always had our backs. We would recommend Abby Schwartz Associates to ANYONE who is performing renovations big or small. These people are well trained and incredibly easy to interact with. Recommending this company is a no brainer and the reputation of Abby Schwartz Associates is well deserved.

We have hired other Architects for our previous houses and have a good perspective of what to expect. While our previous Architect was very good and was recommended to us by a very reputable builder, what was produced was a great set of renderings and options, but that was it. While that might seem to be the expected outcome, working with Abby Schwartz Associates redefined what I would expect from that experience. Their belief is in providing comprehensive approach to integrated architecture and design, which was exactly what we needed.

For people like us, that know what we want but need professional help completing the package, Abby Schwartz Associates is a firm that we highly recommend. Note: they are really FUN team to work with.
