“Contacted Joshua about a home project and while architecture work was not necessary, instead of telling me he just couldn't help me, he spent a good amount of time over the phone providing recommendations for the type of companies that may be able to assist. As a result, when the need arises for work that Joshua may be able to assist with, I will certainly be contacting him in the future.”

“I contracted Ed for a redesign of the house I purchased at the beginning of 2013. The original property was a narrow 130+ year old 3.5 story house with 5 bedrooms and 1.5 bath with just under 2,000 square feet. Due to the layout and condition of the house, everything down the the studs were to be removed. I approached Ed requesting for a 3 bed 2.5 bath with some preliminary ideas on layouts. I leaned on Ed's experience to guide me through the project as this was my first house and complete renovation. I could not be more satisfied at the level of professionalism that Ed provided. He assisted with on site support with on the fly sketches and hands on work, produced drawings in a timely fashion, and even helped with communication with the township throughout the permitting and construction process. He also made sure to be an active member throughout the entire project as there were many variables that kept showing up during demolition and initial build. He was a perfect buffer to make sure that my ideas were being conveyed to the contractor, as I am very handy myself, I found it hard to get my message across in a way that my contractor could understand. His attention to detail took the house to a whole new level. I have had numerous comments from people that have walked the house throughout construction and they cannot believe the transformation. They are amazed at the little details that make the design stand out. It went from a first house, to a property that I can see myself living in for many years to come. I would recommend Ed to anyone who is looking for a residential to commercial project as his ideas are incredible. I am still painting and decorating but will make sure to post pictures of the final product.”

“Stephen Foley was our architect for our 2013 remodel of our Mahoney cape in Bryn Mawr. My wife and I are still in awe of the master suite Stephen was able to design from a basic attic space using only a few perfectly-placed dormers on the existing roof line. We gave Stephen a long list of wants for this suite (i.e. lots of closet space, laundry room, large stall shower, tub, separate his and hers vanities and private toilet room). He got it all in in a fashion that not only feels spacious and comfortable, but that allows for the dormers on the front of the house to add symmetry and aesthetic appeal . At one point, my wife and I wanted to go back to the drawing-board due to ceiling height concerns but Stephen pushed us to go with his original design. We are glad we trusted him and his advice because the finished product exceeds our expectations. He also did a great job with a kitchen redesign, open foyer and space reconfiguration on the first floor of our house. He was also ready, willing and able to help us with selections and other design choices. Stephen was recommended to us by our builder, Ranieri and Kerns, and was also the lowest-price provider of the other architect firms we met with, so a win-win. We highly recommend him, thanks Stephen.”

“I was referred to Melton Architects by a client, and have since come to learn more of Melton's wide reputation in the area as one of the most trusted architects. Their mission isn't just to do good work, but also to make a lasting contribution to the community at large. We look forward to building a long relationship with Melton Architects.”

“My husband and I live in a home built about 1840. Our kitchen was old and charming with outdated and non-functioning appliances. We decided to look at updating but realized the layout did not work well so we opted to do a new kitchen. After trips to several kitchen planning services we reached out to Neeka Groves with RG Architects. She looked at the rough plan we had drawn up and pointed out a number of shortcomings. As a result of her input we saw several possibilities that were not obvious to us. There were a number of constraints but Neeka led us through the design process with great professionalism and I have to add, patience. Every step of the way she was there to listen, to advise, to point us to products and vendors, and to reassure us with a smile whenever things went south as can happen in 180 year old homes . The end product was a dream come true and I am certain our kitchen would not be what it is without her design, guidance, and oversight. We would offer our highest recommendation to Neeka Groves and RG Architects.”

“Joe Mackin and his firm designed us the most beautiful new house. He designed an 1800's style, stone farm house look that is amazing. The attention to detail is incredible. People have been to the house and can't decide if it's just an old house that was added on to, or a new house. We have worked with a handful of architects over the years, and Joe, by far, has been the BEST. We also did not use a builder, my husband an were the general contractors of the house, which is approximately 7,000 sq. feet.”

“John and David designed our business in Berwyn, barre3, which is a fitness and exercise studio. John was our primary architect for the project and he did a fantastic job. His attention to detail is excellent and he also knows the rules and code requirements very well. He is very responsive and he is very good at meeting deadlines. I would recommend KSM highly going forward.”

“Having worked with Brett for over a decade, he continually impresses me with his talent for design and his ability to create fantastic spaces. He has a keen eye for details and gives 100% to every project that we have worked on together.”
