He was always sensitive to our budget and other consideration like making sure our home was designed for us to age in place. The result is fantastic with beautifully spaces and great attention to detail. We highly recommend working with David Falk Design.

When we decided to do a major renovation/reconstruction of our home we had nothing more than an…read moreabstract idea of what we wanted and the process seemed extremely daunting. We had heard wonderful things about Dave from friends, whose home is spectacular, and decided to contact Dave. Dave really listened to us and asked questions that clearly showed he was paying attention to our needs. He took our very abstract idea for our home and proposed inventive design solutions that we would never have imagined. Throughout the design and construction process Dave was extremely responsive, delivering drawings when promised and holding true to his commitments to us. More importantly he was respectful of our questions and immediately addressed any concerns that we might have had. Dave was always mindful of our limited budget, balancing our wish list against what the budget would allow. What seemed like such a daunting experience turned out to be quite wonderful thanks to Dave's extensive knowledge of architecture and design, his professionalism, and the ease of which it is to work with him. Thank you Dave for our lovely new home!

Nina has been helping me with a home remodeling project. This is no ordinary undertaking, to say…read morethe least. There are many constraints due to the current layout of the building which resulted from several changes for the past dozen of decades. She swiftly tackled these challenges and her design recommendations spoke for a great deal of skills and experience - we ended up with practical and refreshing design, while still preserving the home's historical characters. Lastly, Nina has always been effective and efficient in coordinating with engineering and city's building permit department. Her in-depth knowledge in local zoning and building codes saved me from unnecessary overheads. I'm glad to have the chance working with Nina and won't hesitate to hire Island Architecture again for future projects!

We've had two homes designed by Jerry and admittedly we haven't tried any other architects because…read moreour first experience with him was so great. He works fast and is very thorough. He listens to the client's ideas and brings them to the plan. He also thinks of amenities and personal touches that will make your home uniquely yours. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. If you are in the process of building a new home check JWR Design out. They have plans already available at inexpensive prices and they can be adapted for you for a small fee. If you have a specific vision for your perfect home let JWR design it from scratch. Either way, you are guaranteed the finest quality work.

I found this extremely rude and will never consider hiring (or recommending) their services again in the future.

He was incredibly fast and communicative, and what really stood out was how well he understood our vision from the very beginning. We barely needed any revisions because he just "got us." Throughout permits and construction, he has continued to be responsive and helpful. On top of that, he's just simply a very kind person and a pleasure to talk with. We're so grateful for his work and highly recommend him.
