Køkkendesign i Gloucester, MA.

“The Curtice Group was hired to Design, Contract Manage and build an addition as well as remodel Kitchen, replace roof and paint both exterior and interior of main house and addition.”

“We worked with SKA on remodeling and restoring our single-family home in Brookline and had a great experience! We started the process with very loose ideas of exactly how we wanted to use the space and the scope of the project that we wanted to undertake. The schematic design process was extremely useful for exploring alternatives and ultimately deciding on the project’s scope. The 3D renders and VR walkthroughs were extremely useful as we refined the design and greatly increased our confidence in the project we were getting underway. The team (and in particular, our project manager, Karina) were extremely communicative by e-mail, zoom, and in-person. Minutes were taken and shared from each meeting, which was extremely useful when only my spouse or I attended a meeting and had to catch the other one up. Our feedback was always carefully listened to and reflected in revised designs. As we got further and further into the design process, we often had less and less feedback to give, as we were presented with designs and renders that did exactly what we wanted, in ways that we couldn’t have otherwise expressed as requirements. When we had to appear before the Brookline Preservation Commission, SKA’s expertise and prior planning made our project look easily approved with little discussion. It was clear to us that this only went so smoothly, thanks to the significant amount of prior planning and conversations that the team had had with the town planners over the months that we were developing the design. We did not already have a relationship with a contractor, and found SKA’s support in the construction bidding and selection process invaluable. Throughout the construction process, our team at SKA was not only regularly on-site checking and double-checking construction progress, but also documented the project with some 4,700+ photos in a shared album. This included, among other useful shots, the interior of every wall that was opened and the progression of work by trades. Our contractor and their subs never had to wait for a construction drawing, and the entire permitting process went smoothly. We have now lived in our new home for six months, and we still wake up every morning in disbelief that this project went so well, given the many moving pieces. If you are looking for an architect in the Boston area, we would wholeheartedly recommend SKA.”

“Second time working with them. First for a large kitchen, now for a master bath. Both times they were outstanding start to finish. We were able to live through the renovations because of our complete trust in the team each day to be in and out of our home. Expertly managed by Matt for a nearly perfect “transformative” outcome. Highly recommended.”
