Lisa of TOLA architecture helped us rethink our approach to a long exposed-brick wall spanning the living and dining areas in our Park Slope brownstone apartment. She took us well beyond our original ideas and created a design that included cabinets, a stone countertop, a redesigned fireplace, and hanging shelves. Her aesthetic choices were solid and she helped us work through cost issues and select the right materials. She also managed the project and paid great attention to detail when it came to the contracting work. Much of the work was done while we were out of town and we returned to what felt like a beautiful new apartment. We highly recommend Lisa's firm.

I have worked with TOLA on multiple residential projects and find them to be excellent designers who are creative, thorough, and thoughtful. Their attention to detail gives each of their projects lasting qualities that exceed the expectations of their clients. Collaborating with Lisa and Keary is always a pleasure, and I look forward to the next project.

We hired TOLA architecture and Lisa Mann after beginning work to restore a Brooklyn rowhouse as a passive house. We met with TOLA on the recommendation of our previous architecture firm who was forced to close its doors shortly after our demolition phase began. It was challenging picking up work with someone else's drawings and entering already established relationships but Lisa and the office handled it very well. At times this required extensive research and reconstruction of long forgotten processes. Lisa has been invaluable in the managing of the logistics of the project, team relationships, timeline and permitting/building codes. She has been especially helpful in designing and implementing the passive details required for the project. She is detail oriented, organized and generally a pleasure to work with as are all other members of the office that I have come in contact with. Further, I trust her eye aesthetically. We won't hesitate to call TOLA for future phases of the project.

It's been such a pleasure to meet and work with you through this project. Your commitment to sustainability within a warm, welcoming home was the rudder for this ship!

When we bought our 3-story house, it was like many older places in Brooklyn—all chopped up with lots of walls and doors that made no sense. We hired TOLA architects (Keary & Lisa) because we wanted them to create a warm space that flowed and met our desire to maximize light and allow us easy access to our backyard. Their designs completely opened up our middle floor so that our kitchen and family space blend. They designed two completely new bedrooms (with closets!) and a full bath for our kids on the lower level. As well, their designs took in to account our plans for additional renovations so while the walls and ceilings were open during construction, they created the necessary infrastructure for future work. This forward-thinking planning will make those renovations shorter in duration and lower in cost. We love how our house feels and are excited about the next phase of renovations. We found Keary to be highly responsive during the planning and construction phases. He had a great relationship with our general contractor so any questions or concerns were quickly remedied. Lastly, TOLA stayed mindful of and respected the firm budget we had for these renovations.

We worked with Lisa and TOLA on a gut renovation of the garden level of our Park Slope home. Lisa is fantastic: very conscientious, great design sensibility, thoughtful towards the owner's concerns, super easy to work with. We completely reconfigured our garden level, adding a powder room and building a new kitchen and dining room. Lisa had excellent ideas on how to maximize space in our 15-foot wide house, and helped us refine our own ideas of what we wanted to ensure an excellent outcome. She did a great job managing the contractor relationship, and made sure all the details were perfectly attended to. We were so happy that we subsequently engaged TOLA for a second project, a complete overhaul of our building's exterior.

We loved working with Lisa and TOLA architecture! Lisa has such a great eye for design, and she both maximized the usable space in our apartment and made it look beautiful. We feel lucky to have gotten to work with her!

TOLA designed a brand new bathroom for us. There was no existing bathroom in the location so the project involved the design of the bathroom as well as placing the room in the existing space (which we will eventually turn into our bedroom.) It was tricky to create the room and make it fit with our brownstone and to preserve the existing space for a variety of uses. The pictures are awkward because of the limitations of the camera, and don't do the project justice. We are very, very happy! They did a great job, were honest and easy to work with!

I worked with TOLA Architecture (Lisa Mann specifically) to renovate my pre-war apartment. She managed to come up with good solutions to small spaces, kept the project moving and on budget, and made sure that all the specifications for every detail were met.

We worked with Lisa Mann and TOLA architecture on two separate projects - the first for all rooms in our apartment except the kitchen and bathrooms, and two years later we asked her to help us with the kitchen and bathrooms too. As a family in a pre-war apartment, we needed Lisa to help make our space more contemporary, more open, and to maximize storage. She has an incredible vision and way with space and really took the time to understand our design aesthetic. The result is a beautiful, useable, airy apartment that is perfectly suited to our family, our style, and the way we live in our space. Lisa is a pleasure to work with and we have comfortably recommended her to both friends and family. She communicates well and interacts well with contractors and building staff.

It's been such a pleasure working with you on these projects. I love seeing you and your family grow into the space in all the ways we imagined together. And many thanks for your ongoing support.

We restored a pre-war apt. in Prospect Heights - lots of potential but it had been stripped of its character. The main living space had bee reduced to a large rectangle and the original moldings replaced by 2 x 4s. Enter Tola Architecture. With impeccable vision and attention to detail Lisa and Keary achieved what we had hoped for, and more (and tactfully talked us out of some bad choices). Their solutions yielded balance, proportion, harmony and elegance, through the considered reconfiguration of spaces, and the scrupulous design of structures - the depth of walls, the height and width of doors and the incorporation of existing windows. Furthermore, they included functional flexibility with the use of custom designed sliding doors. There is not a day that goes by when we do not take pleasure in the results of their vision. If we had to do it all again we would certainly choose Tola.

Creating flexible living spaces within the pre-war language is a specific NYC challenge. It was such a pleasure working through the options with you and we're so happy to hear that you continue to enjoy your home.

Veena Mohandoss

We used TOLA architecture for the gut renovation of our brownstone. They were amazing. They had great ideas and we liked them both professionally and personally. We have always heard of bumpy renovations, but ours was a smooth, efficient and pleasurable process. We highly recommend them!
