She creatively used every inch of space and was able to maximize storage for us. The ideas she thought of, we would have never thought of and I am so thankful for. Her attention to detail during all steps of the process is so appreciated. The best part is, all the work and designs have paid off in multiples. We recently put our place on the market and received 10+ offers within 5 days at ask and above. Everyone loved all the built ins (entertainment center, mudroom area, built in benches, desk are, storage column) all which were her ideas and vision. I cried happy tears! I cannot wait to work with her again!!

Hi everyone. Javier…read morehas been incredible to work with. When we originally purchased our home, we were lost and lacked the creative details needed to re-imagine our home and develop the designs that could maximize the potential of the space. Without Javier's help, I don't think we would have ever realized the potential of our home. He completely reconfigured the design of our space, worked within our budget, and handled communication with our town when adjustments needed to be made. Javier was punctual, honest, and extremely professional. Subsequent projects that we've had in the house have all resulted in us calling him for his opinion because we know exactly what to expect. I highly recommend him for any architectural needs you may have!

We hired Javier to design a 500 sq ft kitchen and dining space as an addition to our home in Essex…read moreCounty, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From our first meeting, he was kind, respectful, and genuinely eager to understand our vision. He listened carefully to what we wanted which is a comfortable, sophisticated kitchen that felt inviting without being stuffy and delivered exactly that. Javier really knows building codes and maximized every inch of allowable space on our property. He was always responsive, willing to explain design choices or answer my building science questions, and collaborated beautifully with our designer throughout the process. His digital visualization tools were incredibly helpful, letting us see the addition in 3D before construction began. The final design required minimal revisions because he nailed our vision from the start. The addition seamlessly blends with our home's original architecture while beautifully enhancing both interior and exterior. Javier incorporated clever storage solutions, including a coat closet we needed, and designed the huge windows we requested that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen is exactly what we hoped for--open, welcoming, and perfectly suited to how we live. I would absolutely hire Javier again.

what can I say about Vanguard development? I went in the process of buying a home that was in need…read moreof complete renovation. I personally know virtually nothing about renovating or decorating. As you can imagine, this can be a rather stressful situation to be in when you consider that you will be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. It is my unequivocal opinion that hiring oleksii and vanguard is the best single investment you can make throughout this process. Vanguard creates extremely detailed 3-dimensional representations of all of your spaces. I consider myself to be a person of pretty good taste, but having reviewed the images I realized I would have made many costly and disheartening mistakes if left to my own devices. As it goes now, I rely on Vanguard to create beautiful, functional, and unique designs and concepts for each area of the house. as I begin the construction phase, I know exactly what I will be getting and I couldn't be more excited. To add to all this Vanguard displays an exemplary level of professionalism, courtesy, and are just plain wonderful to deal with. I would recommend them to all my friends and family without the slightest hesitation.

Should questions arise, as they invariably do from the building inspectors, they are quick to respond. Many times I get what I need the same day. Oftentimes, they will have the letter of explanation ready while I'm driving to their office. They understand that time is money. They are more than willing to meet with customers to tweak any of their designs. Highly recommendend.

Harmony Design Group has built an incredible reputation in New Jersey for high-end landscape…read morearchitecture and outdoor living design. I've followed their work and have been consistently impressed by the level of detail, professionalism, and thoughtful design they bring to each project. Their backyard transformations, retaining walls, patios, and covered outdoor entertainment spaces reflect a true design-build approach. It's clear they consider grading, drainage, plantings, lighting, and structural integrity from the very beginning rather than treating each element separately. If you're a homeowner in Westfield, Summit, Short Hills or surrounding Union County towns looking for a landscape architecture firm that values craftsmanship and long-term planning, Harmony Design Group stands out in the New Jersey outdoor living space. Their portfolio speaks for itself, and their process-driven approach sets them apart from many landscape contractors in NJ. Highly recommend taking a look at their work if you're considering a custom patio, retaining wall, or full outdoor living project.
