Daniel R. Samuels Architect
“Daniel designed and oversaw construction for our multi-year historic home renovation. We engaged three other architects but selected him because he clearly put our concerns first, ahead of what may have been most historically appropriate for the home, and ahead of what he wanted to do. Through the whole process he was our advocate, and skillfully handled permitting, HDLC, contractors and suppliers, and made what can be a nightmare process into a lot of fun. Now five years living in the home, we are still very happy with the result and will seek him first if we ever renovate a home again.”

“When we first met Daniel, we told him that we wanted our Bayou St. John home to look like it had always been there. Daniel’s vernacular design was so successful that many believe our home is a historic property rather than new construction. During the construction phase, Daniel’s assistance was likewise invaluable. As a full-service architect, Daniel worked hard to ensure that the construction moved forward, consistent with the plans and on budget. Beyond his technical skill, working with him was a pleasure. Given our busy work schedules, we can’t imagine building our home without him.”
