Think Architecture

I cannot believe I am about to write a review about an architectural firm. But I am indeed. The…read morestaff at Architectural Nexus are the best of the best of the best. You know that line from Men in Black? Where Will Smith's character shows up for his "audition" dressed casually in a room of stuffy military types and they are looking for the best of the best of the best, sir!? Well I interviewed 12 firms for our project, and I say these are the 'Men in Black' of local architects. Our design team consists of Jeff and Ricky. Jeff is one of the principals, and Ricky is the primary designer on our project. They presented a timeline based on our budget for concept drawings. They both sat down with us for three very distinct phases that included multiple meetings each phase. They met with our outside partners to get their feedback. They met with our City to make sure they stayed in budget. They researched local, state and federal laws and renovation codes concerning our building. They took everything we asked for, wished for, hoped for, and made a concept drawing proposal that is exactly what we need. Some of the changes are minor, keeping the integrity of our existing structure; and some changes are vastly drastic but still keeping within the confines of having a historical building. As I type this, Ricky is compiling the budget proposal for our project so that we can work on funding. They have concept drawings that have been presented to the project team, the Board of Directors, and will be presented to the City for approval next week. They stayed on schedule, in budget, and gave us everything we asked for that could be reasonably accomplished. And they did it smiling and, literally, singing all the way. (Ricky has a song for every occasion!) Once the changes are approved Architectural Nexus will provide us with concept renderings that we can use for our fundraising phase. When it is time for the actual design and construction drawings we will absolutely use Architectural Nexus again. Their sub-engineering design firms are just as amazing as the architects on our project. We tell them what we want or need, and they have designed a plan to incorporate it in a safe and creative way. They are the best of the best of the best!

They had a large selection of materials and looks to choose from. Their team came out and removed my old countertops and replaced the new ones in under an hour! They cleaned up everything before they left and even recommended what type of cleaner I should use on them. They were thoughtful, respectful, kind, and very easy to work with. They carried the counters up two and three flights of stairs without any trouble, making sure to not bump into my walls or stairs. It's absolutely incredible the difference a counter can make! The entire room looks different with my new countertops from PSI Tops! The mounted sinks I also got from PSI and they look amazing and seamless, worth the money. I'm in love with my new counters, now I want to redo my kitchen counters, too!!! I highly recommend PSI Tops. They were very friendly and made this easy, clean, and quick. Very well priced, as well! Two thumbs up!!!! Also, if you're wondering which top this is, it's the Calacatta Luna solid surface countertops.

If you're looking for some "grown up" furniture, this is a good place to check out. There is a good selection of stuff for every room, and whatever you find there will be well made, often in the USA. The decorators on site (we met with Robyn) will not only find your style in furniture and accessories, they'll come to your house and help with the window treatments, paint colors, that kind of thing. Some of the stuff is pricy, but if you think of furniture as an investment, something you'll enjoy for a decade or two, then it amortizes out. And also, there are cookies. What more could you want?
