Period Architecture Ltd.

Exceptional. Period Architecture designed a bespoke kitchen, family room, and master suite addition for our 200-year-old home and exceeded our expectations. Our project was more modest in size compared to many of their large scale homes, but Joe and Jessica put forth the same level of detail, creativity, and thoughtfulness in designing our dream home. Their ability to translate our wish list into a comprehensive set of plans made them a true partner in our project. They work seamlessly with builders and are widely respected as the best of the best. They are second to none.

Great company. Period is an expert. Their attention to details is beyond anyone’s expectations. If you need an architect, look no further. You won’t be disappointed with Period Architecture.

We have worked with Period Architecture on two homes. Both were originally built in the 1930's and in need of complete renovation to suit our lifestyle. As exacting customers, we had a clear vision of what we were looking for. Joe Mackin heard us! With both creativity and mindfulness, Joe Mackin presented surprising solutions to existing conditions and new construction alike. Both homes seamlessly integrate the old with the new and function as completely modern residences. Best of all, they are truly beautiful and make us proud regularly. It was a pleasure to work with Period Architecture.

We hired Period Architecture Ltd. for an addition to an old farmhouse. The addition is in keeping with the rest of the house. Period Architecture was easy to work with and made good recommendations for contractors. We are completely satisfied with the project.

We found Period Architecture on Houzz -- their portfolio suggested that they understood how to update classic older homes in ways that did justice to the original -- and they did exactly that for us. We did a top-to-bottom renovation of a 1937 house, completely replacing a family room, changing the floorplan, and redesigning portions of the exterior. Joe and Jessica came up with smart solutions on space, and created beautiful designs that also made practical sense. They were a delight to work with. We couldn't be more pleased with their work.

We engaged Period for a few projects in our Malvern home - basement renovation, family room expansion, master bathroom renovation and exterior facade modifications. We worked with Jeff D and Jamie K and found them to be creative, while at the same time conscientious of the homeowner's perspective. Concept plans and construction documents were provided timely, to help keep our projects on schedule. We look forward to working with Period on all future projects we undetake at our home.

My husband and I purchased our dream property approx 2 years ago, complete with 150+ Year old field stone home and bank barn. We interviewed several architect firms that we felt had experience and knowledge in bringing thes types of homes back to life and with modern conveniences without sacrificing the integrity of the home. Joe Mackin and Jess Fogle did exactly that. They are professional and get to know your needs and style. This showed as there were very few revisions to the plans. Their approach and design elements are fantastic. Although our project is not complete (hopefully 11/17) we are simply can't wait to move in! We highly recommend Period Architecture!

We are undergoing a huge renovation to an old home, built in 1848. We have never really used an architect before and we were a bit nervous about the process. Period Architecture has been wonderful to work with! They are prompt in their communication which we really appreciate. Their knowledge and expertise have been impressive and their suggestions have been very helpful. Lastly, Period has been very good at staying within our budget which we respect.

We engaged Period Architecture to design an update and expansion of our home in Villanova. Their clear and thorough process starts with listening to, and prioritizing, our many wishes. Joe took care to balance aesthetics with functionality while also considering investment and environmental choices. Period Architecture lived up to its name in researching the historical cues of our home, a hybrid colonial/Pennsylvania farmhouse, and used this to inform a new, fresh solution. I recently read a book on American Architecture and it reinforced how Joe’s design decisions were true to the integrity of our home’s roots. His creative strategic thinking, client-centered values and meticulous attention-to-detail was consistent throughout our engagement. Our hope is that Period Architecture gets to revitalize our region’s rich architectural heritage while putting their unique mark on their projects.

We have a period Colonial home built in 1798 located in Valley Forge, PA. We choose Period Architecture because of their experience as well as a team based approach. We had many challenges in our renovation and I appreciated that I could tap into both Jeff and Joe's vast experience and knowledge. We needed the "Happy Meal", which is family room, larger kitchen and master suite. Jeff created and designed a space for us that exceeded all expectations. It's new that blends so well with the history of the house and looks like it was always there. Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable, creative and grounded. He listened to what I wanted and worked hard to make me happy. He also understood budgetary restraints and did everything he could to meet our budget and tackle difficult situations. He did all this making us laugh and keeping the project fun and moving along. I would highly recommend Period Architecture for any building needs that you have.

We have an old (1815) stone home with a 10yo frame addition. My 93 year old mother recently moved in with us, necessitating adding another addition with a first floor master suite for her and a dining room for the ancestral dining room furniture coming with her - pronto! Because of the original layout of our home, the addition was going to require some creative thinking to make it work for Mom, include all the features we wished for, be sensitive to the appearance of our old house and fall in our budget. Period Archetecture was recommended by a friend. We liked them right away and were encouraged by our initial discussions. A design was created - and it was perfection! The plan was everything we could have hoped for. We made only one change which was to put in a larger window in one wall. Period Archetecture helped with the selection of a contractor (with whom we are also highly satisfied). Our project is a month into construction and so far all is good. For anyone considering a construction project, I highly recommend Period Archetecture for their innovation and professionalism. One would be very pleased with how they listen to the owner and respond in their desiging as well as the promptness with which they follow through with their promises. Their commitment to creativity and service extends beyond the partners to the remainder of the staff.

We had purchased our 1924 Okie house several years ago when our family first moved to the area. While the house was small, we were immediately attracted by its charm and Okie details. I first contacted Joe at Period Architecture when we were looking to expand our livable space. I had attended a local historical house tour and Period Architecture had been featured on the program. Joe was extremely helpful and patient and spent many hours over a period of two years sharing his ideas on how best to enhance our home. In the end, we decided to extend the house by putting on an addition. Our biggest concern was to preserve the integrity of our house’s history and style. We were not disappointed. Joe, and his colleague Jeff, are aficionados of Okie architecture and provided us with a wealth of information and design detail to satisfy even Brognard himself. Both Joe and Jeff have been extremely responsive and flexible in partnering with us to create an addition that will not only provide us with a better functioning home but also preserve our home’s character and authenticity. They also recommended contractor Steve Bukata, whose professional experience and enthusiasm for renovating older houses has been invaluable. We are still in the early stages of construction but we are very pleased with the progress so far and are excited to see the design come to life. I would recommend Joe and Jeff and Period Architecture without hesitation.

We chose to team with Period for our house renovation. Our entire experience with Joe and Doug has been amazing. They listen, are cognizant of budget and have produced creative beautiful work for our project. I can not say enough how happy we have been with Period Architecture.

We have been working with Joe Mackin and Period Architecture for the past year on several large scale renovations. Collectively we worked together from the infancy stage of the project through permitting and construction. Joe is an extremely talented and qualified architect. He understands the cost parameters as well as the old world detailing which become ultra sensitive during a renovation project of an older structure. His attention to detail and understanding of the complex construction techniques brings a tremendous contribution to each project. The value and service Joe and Period provide is unprecedented. We are very fortunate to have such a close partnership with them and are excited to build the new masterpieces they create - Mark Semerjian, Owner / Builder - Semerjian Builders

We came across Period Architecture by chance, from a sign next door to the lot we were considering buying. I first contacted Joe, one of the principals at the firm, to just chat about what is involved in building a new home. Joe was very helpful in explaining the process and general costs and offered a lot of advice, just during the first call. At first, i wasn't sure, given the name of their firm, if 'Period Architecture' would be the right firm to design my modern home, but after a few conversations we thought they could do it. Once we purchased the lot and evaluated a few architects, it was clear that folks at Period Architecture are a breed apart. They were friendly, easy to talk to, listened to our ideas and thoughts and gained our trust quickly. They offered a lot of fresh ideas that would be suitable for for our design. They made our decision easy. The process of contracting the project to Period Architecture was fairly pain free, as all the costs and timelines were clearly outlined. We had a a lot of fun designing our new dream home with Joe and Jeff at Period. They paid particular attention to our interests and ideas and incorporated them into the design, which we fell in love with. They helped us through he bidding process to select a building contractor as well as permitting process. They worked closely with the civil engineering firm through township approval process, which required making several changes to the design. With their help, we were able to get all the required approvals without major changes to the design. Joe, who i most often contacted, was readily available to chat any time. Joe often returned my phone calls and emails even on the weekends. Their attention to detail was excellent. They adhered to timelines and costs fairly closely. They are very knowledgeable about the design elements, materials and other aspects of designing a very high quality custom home.

When we purchased our historic stone home 18 months ago, we knew it needed significant upgrades. Fortunately, we found Period Architecture early on (before closing the real estate transaction!) and teamed up with Doug and Joe. It has been one of the best decisions we have made. They helped up map out an overall, far-reaching plan, and have helped us to implement at a realistic pace (for sanity and budget) to make this home what it was meant to be. We are in the middle of the second of three phases, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Doug and Joe carefully considered all of our input and requests and developed plans that are the perfect combination of sensitive "period" architecture while still fulfilling our real life requirements. They are really so much more than architects, serving as our link to the highest quality tradespeople, as well as serving as designers and space planners and experts on appropriate materials to achieve a consistent flow throughout the house, old married with new. The team from Period has the very best of Big Picture without losing the necessity of scrutinizing the Tiny Details. We would work with them again in a heartbeat, and would proudly recommend them to our closest friends! The photos are of Phase One (enclosing a covered porch) showing the "before" and the almost completed project. Phase Two is an addition including a new kitchen, a mudroom with a powder room, a laundry room and a pantry. Also included in Phase Two is a revamp of the existing kitchen into a family room, while the existing family room will become a breakfast room. Phase Three moves upstairs and will combine two smaller bedrooms into a large master bedroom with a sitting area, a modern closet and a new bathroom. We are mid-phase two, hoping to complete the entire project before we celebrate the 100th birthday of our home!

In 2014, we purchased a tutor home built in 1925. The house had some existing issues with orientation of rooms and space. We hired Period Architecture to correct these flaws while keeping the authenticity of the tudors' original beauty. In detail, the project involved redesigning the kitchen, opening spaces in rear foyer allowing for more light in dark spaces, 2 new powder rooms on the first floor. The plans also included completely redesigning a Master Bedroom Suite and 2 bedrooms, WIC and shared bath on 2nd floor. Also, reconfiguring 2 bedrooms and adding a bathroom on the 3rd floor. Last, but not least, a 2-car garage with covered porch and fire pit. Joe Mackin flaunted detail, character and authenticity throughout all of these new concepts. We loved these ideas and are currently in the process of re-creating the gothic tudor. We are excited and thrilled to have Period Architecture working with us. We would highly recommend Joe Mackin and Period Architecture for your next project.

Joe and Jeff have been nothing but professional. They have listened and produced an excellent look into our future home. We have been very pleased by the responsiveness that Joe takes on returning our calls and/or emails, this is truly a high quality feature that is lacking in todays' world, but never once when working with this team. We also appreciate their timeliness with meetings and follow-up work. We would recommend Period Architecture Ltd. to any future client.

We have an old home and wanted a sympathetic renovation/addition. We specifically needed someone with knowledge of and experience with older structures who could work in modern details, yet retain a historic feel. Period Architecture came highly recommended and did not disappoint! Every challenge was met with a creative solution. Aside from the creative aspects of the job, the firm was also invaluable in selecting and working together with other firms and individuals to ensure a complete project.

The Period Architecture team partnered with us to develop a multi-year site plan converting a "run of the mill" Pennsylvania semi-custom home into traditional Chester County farmhouse from the outside. The project included a complete exterior renovation, out-building and a basement project. Joe and Jessica accurately captured our vision, and then guided a multi-vendor team to make the vision a reality.

Period Architecture designed our 6,500 square foot home, which appears as a late 1700's / early 1800's stone farm house. Additionally, they provided check-point consulting throughout the 15 month building process, because I was a first-time home builder and I acted as the general contractor. I highly recommend Period Architecture because they are skilled, personable, and good listeners. We have our dream home largely due to them.

Period Architecture quite simply, rocks. I recently worked with them on a very high budget project in Haverford, Pa - the complete remodel of a large Main Line flat. We encountered many challenges and they were tackled with a very high level of professionalism and in a timely fashion. All drawings were beautifully detailed and highly accurate. Both my client and I are extremely pleased with the outcome, which might have been very different if Jeff Dolan, principal, was not at the helm. I highly recommend the team at Period.

I have worked on residential construction projects drawn by Joe, Doug and Jeff from the very beginning of Period Architecture. They are maniacally dedicated to creating amazing living spaces for their clients while emphasizing the "Period" in Period Architecture. Even better, all those "Amazing" ideas are backed up by getting the details right from the get go. It is always a pleasure to unroll a set of their drawings. George Metzler - Rittenhouse Builders

Joe Mackin has been extremely helpful in designing our home renovation/addition which includes a new kitchen, master bedroom suite, garage, and finished basement. He and his team at Period Architecture have impressed us with their ideas, knowledge of the field, thorough architectural drawings, and outstanding service. We look forward to continuing to work with them in 2014 and turning our drawings into a fabulous home renovation!

We have worked with Period Architecture on several phases of our late 19th century Victorian home rennovation. We value their respect of the historical aspect of the home balanced with the modern options available today. Jeff Dolan took the time to understand our vision for the home and was able to push the boundaries on what was possible to get us beyond our comfort zone. We have completed a 3rd floor, front porch, and kitchen rennovation on our home - all with the guidance of Period Architecture. We would highly recommend working with Period Architecture on the planning, design, and execution of any home rennovation - especially if you have a historic or vintage home.

Period Architecture helped bring our vision for our farmhouse to life. Since our project was completed, friends and neighbors have commented that it looks like the new addition to our 1842 farmhouse had been there all along--the highest compliment that they could pay us or Period Arhcitecture. Doug Mancuso was also very good at ensuring that the interior space was very functional for the modern needs of our family.

Period provided a complete set of plans for our addition project. We had a couple of requirements going into the project: budget, function and blend old and new seamlessly. They worked with us until we were happy with the plan and were willing to incorporate our ideas even when those ideas weren't the most popular!

We just completed an addition on our late 18 c. home that we first added to (the tiny original house) 31 years ago. We have a great builder (CherokeeConstruction) whose founder is a lifelong friend. I called him and was explicit that we were looking for an architect that we could engage that would do the work himself, not delegate to a junior associate. Clear constant communications was critical. We were introduced to Doug Mancuso, one of Period Architecture's partners. From the first planning steps, Doug was a great listener, he took all of our ideas and sketched a few concepts. While they all had interesting components, my wife and I agreed on our ultimate design and moved forward. Doug worked tirelessly on the plans with great attention to detail. We talked, texted e mailed each other continuously. Doug always listened to our ideas and quietly then gave us his opinion. The end product is a beautiful and totally functional home which we hope to live in for another 30 plus years. One other comment, the lead carpenter told me at the end, that the plans were extremely well detailed and the best he had ever seen.

My husband and I were nervous about embarking on the renovation and addition to our 1700's stone farmhouse in PA. This was our first time doing any kind of building project, and we really wanted to respect the existing house and do it right. Joe Mackin and the Period Architecture team were the perfect match for us. Joe listened carefully to our ideas and was highly collaborative and transparent throughout the process. He was able to vastly improve the flow and feeling of "openness" of the interior while also turning our "nice" house into a beautiful house. The kitchen he designed for us is exactly as we envisioned, except somehow he knew what we wanted better than we did! It is inviting, thoughtfully laid out, period appropriate and completely modern all at the same time. I can't believe it's our kitchen! Joe's enthusiasm, positive attitude and integrity make him a pleasure to work with. He was very supportive throughout the process, making my stupid questions feel like good questions and advocating for us when needed. We are thrilled with our new old home and would highly recommend Period Architecture!

We met Joe Mackin at a show in Lancaster PA and we were instantly impressed with his work portfolio as well as his professionalism. We were looking to put an addition on a circa 1740 Bucks County brownstone and needed help with design. The addition was to include a master bedroom suite as well as a study, laundry and powder room. Joe's work was exceptional!! He not only provided a great plan but was very easy to work with as we tweaked the plan to fit our needs and design as well as budget parameters. Joe's knowledge of historical architecture was vast and his sensitiveness to budgets was greatly appreciated. He went over and above in following through on things from start to finish. We would highly recommend him for your most demanding project. While the interior turned out exactly as envisioned, the best part may have been hearing people ask about the exterior "which part of the house is the historic part"?

We have had the privilege of teaming up with Period Architecture on multiple projects. Joe, Jeff and Doug are thorough, professional, and their attention to detail is unparalleled. Drawings are always prepared accurately and in a timely manner. It is obvious through their work that they listen closely to their clients’ desires , carrying them out in a creative and imaginative way. Our work with Period has always been smooth and seamless from initial design through final stages, and we look forward to working with them on future projects

In 2011, I purchased an authentic Cap Cod in need of renovation and additional space. My vision was to maintain the homes character and simplicity while creating a more comfortable living space. In the process, plans were discussed with several architects. Jeff Dolan's design merged the old with the new beautifully. His expertise and those of the entire team have created a warm and comfortable addition that far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Period Architecture Team without reservation.

I have known Doug and Joe for many years and have had the pleasure to build there projects. I find it refreshing to work with professional s who are team driven. They listen to their clients needs and work closely to achieve what is requested. They have excellent awareness of the architectural elements needed to rise above most in there field. I have the greatest respect for Period's expertise, I have hired them for several of my own projects.

Period Architecture did an outstanding job in designing our new home. In addition to providing excellent design services, Joe Mackin and his partners assisted us in identifying the best resources throughout our construction project. They offered superior advice and assistance whenever it was needed. Period Architecture's insightful and collaborative approach allowed us to obtain our dream home. We have received countless compliments on the beauty and uniqueness of our project and the notable attention to even the smallest detail. We would highly recommend Period Architecture to anyone who is designing a new home or making renovations to an existing home.

Jeff Dolan and his team designed an exceptional front porch addition to our 80+ year old classic Pennsylvania grey stone colonial. What started out as a plan to get some creative ideas for improving our old portico turned into a grand renovation that made the entire house seem new and far more majestic in stature. Everyone who visits seems to drive past the house initially because it looks so greatly improved with the front porch added to an already quite lovely home. Jeff's attention to detail is exceptional and he truly does embrace the aesthetic inherent in the "Period Architecture" company name. He was very patient and thorough in his research and development of a range of options for us to consider. In many cases he made recommendations for the design that initially we were somewhat skeptical about agreeing to (why would we need to replace a perfectly fine front door?), but in the end were absolutely essential touches. We tend to be fairly picky and apply high standards in working with professionals, so the fact that Jeff and his team exceeded our expectations is quite a testament to his work and commitment to a true partnership with his clients. When your goal is "nicer", but you get "awesome", that's a great outcome. Not sure we could have achieved such a positive outcome with any firm other than Period. In an era where you do not always get what you pay for, it's clear that Period Architecture has a commitment to quality, detail and active participation in the process that provides exceptional value and world-class results. It's with great pleasure that we enthusiastically recommend the work of Jeff and the Period team.

My husband and I hired Period Architecture to design our renovation. We had the pleasure of working with Joe Mackin who proved be very knowledgable and capable of translating the plans in a way that allowed us to move forward at a good pace and bring our dreams of a beautiful home to fruition. Joe designed a renovation of an existing garage, entryway/mudroom, laundry room, covered porch and 2nd floor bathroom. We added a first floor powder room in the entry hall, a tool room which will house the kitty litter, a second staircase and a room over the garage which will later become a guest bedroom/bathroom and sitting area with space for an office. Joe was able to design an exterior that blended with the existing 40yr.old colonial home and a 25yr. old addition in the back of the home. He carried through the colonial look of the home while incorporating some updated details such as metal standing seam roofs and copper arched roofs over 2nd floor windows and existing portico over the front door, a larger side entry covered porch and a covered, screened in patio out back. The patio is edged with a stone wall that is seen at the other end of the house around an open patio. There is a beautiful flow to the house, inside and out. Joe had some wonderful ideas but then so did we. What we really respected was that he was able to accomodate our ideas while still incorporating some of his own unique design elements. One of the details he incorporated were curved corners in hallway areas which creates a wonderful flow and feeling of space. He placed windows in the front and back of the house to allow light to flow into the newly built staircase leading from the entry hall to the second floor. After an initial set of plans were drawn up Joe had no problem with us wanting to move walls, doors or closet space. He always made us feel like our ideas were worthy of considering and found a way to make them work. He helped us plan a doggie foot bath area next to a door where the dog can be let out into the fenced in yard out back. We planned for a kitty door within the wall to provide access into the tool room where they will find their litter box. We planned a spacious 21/2 car garage to and enlarged the driveway for extra parking space. He had no problem replacing windows with glass doors to provide an exit from the laundry area to the covered porch. There are also glass pocket doors which close the laundry area off from the hall yet maintain the flow of light. A skylight in the hall also provides the much desired light. The entry hall is wide, allowing for laundry baskets to be carried with ease and to allow children to pass by without scuffing the walls. We also planned for wainscoting throughout the entry area and hall to help handle the traffic. Another thing to point out is that this project was planned as two phases so we had to keep in mind what was going to be done at a later date. The room over the garage was one of those so we plumbed for the bathroom at this time to be finished later. Joe was persistant in making us realize that this would be a good selling feature later on as I was hesitant to add yet another bathroom. I'm glad we did. We also had to leave space open for built-ins or pieces of furniture in the entry areas and 2nd floor bathroom to be addressed at a later date. This was where I felt Joe was very accommodating. He took the time to listen to how we wanted the space to work for us as a family. We knew he understood how we wanted the space to function. He provided us with an estimate and a description of each step and followed it closely. He had a good relationship with the builder and made himself available whenever needed. Joe often checked in on the job even after his work was done. He has stopped by a couple of times just to share in our excitement over the finished product. Based on our experience we would highly recommend Joe and Period Architecture to help fulfill your dreams of your beautiful home. Thank you Joe, for a job well done and for your kindness and understanding the whole way through! Mary and Mike Smith

We hired Period Architecture to design a sympathetic renovation to an existing structure. They took every need into consideration and the project looks great. It fits in perfectly which was very important to us- modern comfortable interior and an exterior historically in tact.

I had been dreaming about renovating our kitchen for about 8 years and met with many different architects to find someone who was willing to work with some of our existing challenges and create the most functional space that kept with the character of our 1932 home. The day I met Jeff Dolan, I knew I had found the firm for me. He was easy to work with, receptive to incorporating my ideas and helped us get the most out of the renovated space. The end result exceeded my expectations.

We hired Period Architecture to renovate our 3rd floor Attic. We live in a very old (1752) stone farmhouse. The renovation involved raising the roof, putting in two new staircases and new dormers. We were very pleased with Period Architectures designs and approach. They understood the need to preserve the old while accommodating the new. We now have a very comfortable and enjoyable 3rd floor that is also authentic to the house and beautiful. I highly recommend working with Jeff Dolan.

Jeff Dolan and Period Architecture are fantastic. Jeff and his team helped us create a three phased plan for our home. Our goal was to create a comprehensive plan for all areas of the house we were interested in changing and then decided on what we would approach first. We worked together and mapped out our ideas, styles, likes dislikes etc and came up with a final set of plans. Phase 1 was to redesign the Master Suite, Bath and add a 2nd Floor Dormer/Office The other 2 phases are for finishing the basement and creating a dormer and additional space above the garage. To date, we have completed phase 1. The Period team are highly collaborative, creative and great to work with. They explained the architecture process, helped us find the right builder and were with us every step of the way. The teams' design style is classic and their work is stellar. I would and have recommended Jeff and his team to friends and colleagues as we were very impressed with the entire planning, execution and finished product. We love our house and owe a great thanks to Jeff and his team for all of their beautiful design work!!!

Joe Mackin helped us transform a small kitchen and a den in our traditional colonial into a spectacular, open and airy' yet warm and inviting kitchen that is perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. His attention to detail was unsurpassed. (for example, making sure we had space for a large walk-in pantry) He also had a vision to open the space into the living room with a half wall and columns that define the space yet keep an open flow throughout the home. We couldn't be happier with Period Architecture LTD's creative and professional approach to making the "heart" of our home phenomenal and beautiful!

Period Architecture Ltd.'s expertise, creavity, and vision created a new-old house with so much character and warmth that any unsuspecting visitor would think it has been on this hill for many generations....we absolutely love it!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe at Period Architecture on a complete home rennovation. In September 2011, we purchased a 130 year old (uninhabitable, foreclosed) farmhouse, and the reality of the overwhelming, daunting effort that laid ahead of us started to sink in quickly...in those early month's Joe's positive attitude, enthusiasm, and passion helped reinforce our 'vision' that carried us through...his vast resources and advice helped us find a fantastic builder. From the beginning, and every month since, Joe was there to support the process with check in's, site visits and offering of advice. While rebuilding a home is not an easy process, Joe was an advocate for us, committed to the project, and always operated with the utmost integrity. Joe came to us from a friend, who did a compete kitchen addition a few years back. From the start, I knew Joe would be great to work with - someone who could support my vision..especially since I had never taken on any home project of this magnitude. Joe has fantastic attention to detail - he will push you to think through every aspect of your project to help create the home of your dreams, while listening to your needs and working within your design and budget goals - all with a very practical approach to living space. The value that he has provided to our 'new' home has been immeasurable - from the beams in the living room, to the molding under the kitchen counters...Joe has created a beautiful living space for our family. I would recommend Joe and his team (and have) to anyone looking at any size project. - C.Stanton, Plymouth Meeting, PA

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.
