3 Best Residential Architects in Philadelphia, PA

Working with Ed has been a great pleasure. He is creative, yet practical. He is an excellent collaborator with the client, builder, and trades people. He listens and is open to client input, but steers the project in a way that is practical and executable. We are thrilled with the results of the extensive and complex renovation that Ed envisioned, designed and brought to life for us.

As a licensed contractor in Philadelphia my needs for a professional and timely architect are becoming more and more important. Ed is extremely reliable and professional and helps me to not only maximize space I am working in but also is fair and expertly helps me deal with the permit and inspection process.

Cannot recommend Always by Design enough. When we decided to expand our beach house, we contacted Ed based on a neighbor’s recommendation. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Ed listened to our needs and came up a creative design. Ed is positive, professional, and most responsive. It was a pleasure to work with Always by Design!

We recently renovated the kitchen and dining areas in our 90-year-old house to create more open and inviting common spaces. Jeff Krieger and his associates were truly extraordinary. Our remodeling has been completed and the spaces are beautiful, inviting, soothing and functional. Jeff Krieger and Debbie Woodward impressed me in our initial meeting when they asked probing and helpful questions about what we were hoping to achieve from a functional standpoint. Their questions helped us to clarify our goals, priorities, and aesthetics, in ways I never anticipated. I was impressed with how attentively they listened and the very creative options they developed based on these discussions. At every step of the way - from our initial meetings, through the design, construction cost estimation, construction oversight and completion phases, they were interested, focused, flexible, detail oriented and available. Jeff and Debbie are the consummate professionals. And they seem to be supported by equally professional staff who functioning seamlessly in the background. We appreciate their creativity and guidance and give them the highest possible recommendation.

Jeff Krieger and his talented team helped transform our little cottage. A new kitchen, a new flow through our home, a new exquisite room we've named "The Chapel." We came to Jeff with six words reflecting what my husband and I wanted our home to feel like after the renovation. My three words: Calm. Minimal. Bold. My husband's: Exquisite. Comfortable. Open. Somehow Jeff's team accomplished all six, with no compromise. While this was a smaller project for Krieger, we always felt like we were getting their very best. And now, we have a home that feels exactly right for us.

Love this firm. Jeff Krieger is a great architect!
