“Elizabeth was a dream to work with. She brought cleverness and creativity to the table and always worked with our ideas and needs to land on the most functional and beautiful designs. Her calm, thoughtful demeanor and ability to think on her feet meant that any construction surprises were met with low-stress solutions. She was present through the whole process and a true pleasure to work with. We would (and will) work with her again in a heartbeat.”

“Liz helped us in our primary bedroom/ensuite renovation. Her careful attention to our specific needs was spot on. She also closely coordinated with our contractor. We expect to enjoy her design work for many, many years to come.”

"We completed two major home renovations with Liz van der Zandt and we cannot recommend her work highly enough. Liz helped guide us through a complete kitchen gut renovation and a basement finishing project which included adding a full bath. We also completed a master bathroom and master closet/dressing room overhaul. In both cases, Liz calmly, carefully and tastefully brought us from concept design through project completion, guiding us through the process, helping us identify the right contractors, overseeing construction, and ensuring the project was completed to code and properly permitted. Liz listened to our priorities and helped us create a comfortable, practical, beautiful home we have loved living in." —A.F. & J.F., Dobbs Ferry, NY
“Elizabeth was our architect for a full residential basement rebuild in Irvington and we are extremely pleased with the results. She provided both design work as well as project management services, taking our plans from just an abstract idea into a fully finished project. Liz is easy to work with, responsive, collaborative, and provided a wide range of ideas and insights that materially improved the final results. She was also able to navigate a tricky permitting situation and get the requisite approvals without delays. Her recommendations and management of the general contractor process also had large downstream positive impacts which made everything much easier for us as owners. We would highly recommend Elizabeth for anyone looking for an architect for this type of job, and would work with her again on any future project we do.” —W.A., Irvington, NY
