Brad is consistently responsive and communicative, making coordination between architecture and structural engineering seamless.

NEDC did a major design and renovation on our house in 2024, centering around the kitchen. It's…read morestill amazing to me how much positive impact this project has had on our lives. The new open space is just a joy to be in, even when we're not cooking, but even more so when we are. We are grateful for Schneidee's guidance through the design phase, recommending so much we would never have thought of ourselves, and generally being sure the new space would work for us. And it was tremendously comforting to have someone of John's expertise and resourcefulness guiding us through construction. Both Schneidee and John were a real pleasure to work with. I must admit, I thought "lifting spirits with spaces" was just a nice slogan, but it is indeed a real experience we have everyday. Super happy and super grateful!

He was a great listener, and then direct end up front with us about possibilities. We hope that we will have the opportunity to work with NEDC on a longer-term basis in the future.

If you are looking for an Architect to design your new home or help you remodel your existing one,…read moreyou cannot do better than Charles Navratil at Architects 2. For a relatively modest sum of money, Charles helped us with a very challenging remodeling project. He helped us with a very significant gut-and-remodel job, where we had strict setback concerns, neighborhood guidelines, and original challenges. For example, we wanted to build an enclosed porch around a 50+ year old Maple Tree. And, he did it! If I were to sum up Charlie's greatest strength, it would be his vision. He comes up with designs that are inspiring, yet functional. He also helped us through the entire project and made sure that our contractors built the house as designed. Charlie's a quiet guy, and doesn't come off as either the "starched-white-shirt" kind or architect, or the "I'm the greatest" salesman-architect. But, judge him on his work product, and you won't be disappointed. You should probably also know that I have no other affiliation with Architects 2, and in fact, chose them after meeting with a dozen prospective firms. In fact, they don't know that I'm writing this review. So please accept my opinion when I say, Architects 2 is the best!
