3 Best Residential Architects in Washington, DC

We engaged Andreas to finish the interior and exterior and furnish our brand new penthouse apartment in Athens. We live in Australia and were not able to travel to Athens at the time we engaged Andreas and we relied on him to manage and complete the project for us completely remotely. Andreas used his local connections to execute the project to budget and in a timely manner. He communicated with us very effectively and kept us involved in the project (even if remote) every step of the way. Andreas has fabulous taste and an eye for all the necessary details. His ideas for an appropraite layout and the best furniture to fit our family's needs were all fantastic. Andreas engaged custom furniture makers to customise all the pieces to ensure they fit our unique layout as best as possible. We could not be happier with the finished result and having now spent time in it are very appreciative of all the custom elements that were incorporated to most effectively use all our spaces. He was thoughtful in all of his suggestions whilst accomodating of our requests (our daughter had a number of these for her room!). We could not have completed the project without Andreas' help and we are very thankful to have crossed paths with him. The results far exeeded our expectations. We highly recommend Andreas.

We took the plunge during the pandemic and decided to go all in to renovating our home. No more nickel and dime repairs and maybe knock out a few walls here and there. We were fortunate to get Andreas, Juan and team to take us on and they did not disappoint. FORMA Design is visionary, patient with clients and their end game pure magic. You know it’s great when you finally resettle back and you get that warm comfy feeling on what becomes your favorite resting spots throughout the house and your mind is clear when working in the home office. It’s because of the design, they know what they’re doing, and we are the happier for it. Not only do we love our home but we love showing it off. We have this confident smile for each room we show, an unexpected outcome. FORMA Design was the perfect choice and a great future investment.

We have engaged Forma Design FOUR times for different projects in our medical offices. Our office designs by FORMA have substantially contributed to our practice's goal of offering each patient an exceptional experience from beginning to end. The open and uncluttered designs make patients feel relaxed and at ease and allows our staff to mix and mingle with them as they wait to get their procedure done. Thank you FORMA for such beautiful designs.

I cannot say enough good things about Lawlor Architects. We did an entire renovation of our Capitol Hill townhouse, digging out a basement, extending our top floor, and taking over the alley. It was a complicated job and Steve and his team really delivered. From planning and design, to getting zoning approvals, to overseeing the actual work, Steve takes all of the stress out of the process and delivers exceptional work of the highest quality. He keeps you in the loop, patiently guides you through all of the decision points, and has the best advice. We got a completely transformed home on time and in budget. Thank you Steve.

We worked with Lawlor Architects on a rowhome renovation in Capitol Hill in 2019. Steve and Bonnie did an incredible job guiding the entire project. As a trained architect and practicing landscape architect, my expectations were set high. Steve exceeded them. Lawlor Architects outlined the right expectations and delivered. A significant home renovation is never an easy undertaking. Lawlor's experience, dedication, and focus made the process enjoyable and collaborative.

This is a top draw architectural firm that promotes both style and class. They believe that communication between client and architect is of paramount importance so as to alleviate the chance of unfulfilled expectations in the architectural process. I would highly recommend this architectural firm for anyone wanting value for their money.
