We had not expected to need architectural services for our historic renovation project. But when the initial work revealed major structural issues and our contractor wanted to tear the house down and start over, Studio-Crowley Hall came in and calmly determined that the house could be saved.
They set about doing just that in the most professional, resourceful, and efficient manner, handily coordinating a team that includes an engineer, a permit expediter, a general contractor, and numerous subs. They are cheerfully and effectively working with the Office of Historic Preservation. When problems arise [as they will,] they solve them fast. When crises break, they tackle them head on. When we call them, they answer, and when we speak, they listen.
Between them, Anne Crowley and Michael Hall seem to have every facet of architecture and design and construction management covered at a high level of expertise. They are a remarkably complimentary partnership.
Their solution to our particular set of problems was visionary: rock-solid, creative, and elegant in its efficiency. It was not easy to choose from the multiple floor-plan options they presented, all good.
They have been highly sensitive to our budget constraints in both their design choices and their management.
We are convinced that when the dust clears, it will be a far better house than it ever was
